"Uh, hey, do you think you could let me down?," Leo says with a worried expression. She had indeed started floating, but she couldn't exactly figure out how to move, so now she was squirming against the ceiling trying to figure out how exactly to move when you don't have any weight.

Aries chuckles "Yeah, sure thing." he says and gradually returns her mass to its natural level, allowing her to slowly ease down. "It works great with the cannon because I can increase the mass of the cannon balls at the last minute and do more damage." he says proudly, leaning on the wall in a cool fashion and looks at his nails like he was hot stuff.
Libra laughs "You are a little character Aries." she says, then turns her head to the others "I have an update on the others. Pisces you've missed quite a bit in your absence, but I will fill you in."

"An update eh?," Leo says, holding onto the bed as she made sure she was back to her old weight. "Well lay it on us then Libra. What's up?"

"Scorpio's children are now entering the city with the rest of Prince James' forces. There is suposed to be a peace negotiation, however the chances of that working out are highly slim, and the Viceroy's forces are prepared for a battle. Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn are going to disguse themselves and be at the ready to attack. The three of them should be sufficient to keep Scorpio's children safe. As well, the Sectorian army readies to invade Tektallium, and come to the aid of Prince James. Ophiuchus is with them at the time, but it seems they know of us through some loose ends we need to talk with a few of our members about..." she sighs a little "Schedar will be coming soon with Caelum, Lyra and another boy he has to show Virgo, so don't be surprised by them. I'm sure he will update us on his project as well."
"Project..." Aries frowns "But...you have to pick a Cancer for it...." he says, unsure of what the project was still, but he knew she needed to do that.
Libra chuckles "Yes, that is correct Aries. My prime candidate has been showing much promise, he too is involved in this battle in Lavstin. Luckily for Scorpio, he is very fond of her daughter so she will have another level of protection."

"Ugh, loose ends.," Leo says with exasperation. "I say we just take all the people who know about us that we don't want telling others about us and either lock them up, keep them here, or kill them. From what I can remember and tell we're getting really close to our goal now and we don't need anything screwing this up."

"I agree, I fear some of our members are letting their emotions cloud their judgement. It is why we need Schedar's project more and more..." Libra nods "There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect our children, but it may have been wiser to raise them here." she sighs "It's what my predecessor did with Schedar, and he has been nothing but helpful."

"Exactly! But now we've got all these kids running around and organizations out to mess with us and all sorts of things.," Leo says with numerous hand gestures. "I mean, I know Scorpio is basically the one who's been here the longest, but what sort of idea was it to have a copycat copy your powers? Or make a terrorist organization anyways? Just doesn't make any sense to me when people who are crazy like that are bound to stab you in the back eventually."

"She had good intentons Leo, much lke I have Schedar and his following, she hoped to have her own. However, without ultimate sight like mine, it is understandable that she lost control." Libra says "She, tried to keep them reletively uninvolved wth us, so if it went wrong we would not be discovered. But that was her flaw I think. What matters now though, is that we crush them. As it were, her renegades aren't our biggest threat either...there is another who opposes us, who is a stranger. A woman tried to take Scorpio's daughter in the confuson, and bring her to the Arcadisian Prince. She worked for someone who knows of our plans...of us. I'd even go so far as to say she knows I have interest in the Prince. I think she is trying to get to our kind before we do a corrupt them."
"Damn....and I thought I was in deep shit when Thaddeus married Princess Auralilly, then they all went to save the day....there's a whole level to this that no one knows of huh?" Aries mutters.
"That's right Aries. In fact, most of the conflicts of the humans we have given a little push to. We have shaped the humans' history so that we may write our own. As you will learn from your ancestors' memories." Libra smiles at him "At any rate, once we retrieve everyone's children and other humans, we can deal with Scorpio's Claws and this other group. I would suggest we send some of us out now, but I feel a meeting is in order to discuss our future moves. We must take advantage of Pisces' calm while we can." she smiles at him, knowing all she would get was an annoyed roll of the eyes, or a bored expresson. "At such a meeting, we should reveal all of our connectons; children, followers. Anything that is a trace of our activities."
"I'll say it right out, I have no kids, followers, fangirls, stalkers, ex-girlfriends, long lost loves, mom and pop are dead, no pets, hell I don't even have any cousins! I'm....holy...wow I never realized how alone I really am...Geez, I've felt lke I know everybody....Shit this is depressing." Aries mutters, though he was joking a bit. "Good thing I've appearantly just been accepted into the largest disfunctional pseudo-family not known to man kind...."

"The Claws are acting as Scorpio wished them too, though the copy has taken too many liberties with the fredom she's allowed. The events 17 years ago with Tektallium and the assault on the Armande's were not planned but she is serving her purpose. The books will in time say the Claw's were a cult who served a mad woman, or in short our scapegoat." Taurus says. "All they're doing in validating their expendability, all except for Hope. Makes me glad we have agents like Shedar or even Corvus." Taurus says. "What we're doing is plausible deniability. We act separate, therefore we are. this isn't the first time Scorpio's done this and it won't be the last. She give the history books a villain and heroes to look at so she can properly hide us."

"But when this villain uses her name it does her little good." Libra says.
"What's different about Hope?" Aries asks, not even knowing who they were talking about specifcally.

"Eh...but it's too risky. And it's biting us in the ass now.," Leo points out in response to Taurus' statement. "I mean I can see creating scapegoats, but there's too many loose ends this time around. We all need to seriously clean up this mess." She sighs. "But whatever, I'm not here to point the finger. This thing with Sectora attacking Arcadis, we want the SPSRL to succeed, right?"

"Yes. For one, the SPSRL will be able to easily cut through the powerless humans, leaving only those who are strong and may lead to natural orbis. As well, it will encourage the Tektallians to fight once more, with the same result." Libra says.
"So...lemme' get this strait...we...want to....get rid of humans?" Aries asks with some skepticism.
"We want them to evolve." Libra says "Humans are bound by power struggles, they see each other as better than one another, and kill over it. As orbis, we are beyond that. We are more powerful than them, and as such, deserve to inherit the earth. Thus far we have been merciful in this, and have allowed for them to naturally form. But our numbers are dwindleing. And we must take action to speed the process."
"So....you provoke war...so that people without powers will die...and those with powers will live, have kids, and hopefully after a while make orbis?" Aries asks
"Exactally. As inferior as they are, orbis cannot be born without humans. We evolved from them, and need them to expand our kind. We can mate with humans because of our close relation, but we have a policy of only choosing humans with powers, if we must choose a human." Libra smiles, knowing some of this information he would get from the rest of his memories and he would understand better.
"And so...the ones you keep talking about, who are human...they what, worship us or something?"
"More so, they know that the world can only be made better with us, and want to take part in cleansing the world. They are humans, who wish to have their children become orbis." Libra smiles "Aside from Schedar that is, he is a special case. His mother was the Libra before me. He doesn't have two powers, but he is strong, and likely should he ever have children they will be an orbis. I think his father didn't come from a long line of those with power and that's why it happened. Needless to say, we're all rather fond of him, despite his birth defect."

"Yeah, that's the 'divine providence' reason that Libra gave you there Aries.," Leo says. "In more a practical sense humans are flawed and will basically kill themselves out anyways, so we're trying to in a sense 'speed up' the process so that eventually Orbis will be the only ones left."

"Well...you could say it like that." Libra says.
Aries nods "Are...humans why we can't land the castle?" he suddenly asks
"Well...yes that is a reason. We can't build a dock for it without human notice." Libra says a bit uncertain as to why he cared.
"...and if they notice us...find out who we are...they'll try and use us." he says, understanding better "get rid of humans and make the world orbis, or at least orbis and our followers....and we can land?" Aries asks, with an odd look in his eyes.
