Coop hoped he had things right. " the city is scared. It knows this guy is up to no good involving the pyramid. We have to stop him before he does something. "

Sarah nods at Coop and adds "At the very least, the city doesn't like what this shifter is planning on doing. Of course, the question is what is he trying to do? Destroy the magic? Try to take it for himself?" Sarah shrugs "Sometimes knowing why someone is trying to do something helps us to prevent it."

"Well, I guess I have theory..." Eleutheroi says. "I think he wants to use Golthreia's pyramid as a means to re-enact something that happened some time ago in a different dimension." Whereupong, Eleutheroi fuills them in on the huge explosion of magic on Rifts Earth, and how it was tiggered my a massive loss of life. "Basically, armegeddon." He finishes.
Rozatonosky gulps. "What?" He manages after a second.

Coop smirked at Sarah," At least no demons or vampires this time."

Sarah smiles weakly at Coop. "While that is a good thing," she agrees "we still need to be really careful. Shifters can be just as dangerous, or even more dangerous than vamps."

" I got an inside track on that, remember?" Coop said expressionless, not wanting to bring up his family. He instead tried to lighten things a bit. " But at least we shouldn't get bitten."

Coop feels a solid squeeze on his shoulders and hears Eleutheroi from behind him as he moves for a chair. "Such untamed optimisim. Quite the turn-around." He says. After a second, he's in a chair, and the police officer is still standing there in shock.
"Have a seat Lieutennant." Tobrias says, clamly. "This is a very simple thing." Rozatonosky sits clumsily. "We'll skip the theory of dimensions and focus on a specific one: a world called Earth." The room darkens, and the projector looks at a world from space. An unkown sight to Golthreians. "This is file footage." He says. "After a fashion." The on the projector, in the Southern hemisphere, a series of nuclear blasts are seen. Also, is a PPE burst, followed by blue lines surging around the planet, even as more nuclear blasts are seen in the original area, followed my mor blue, and more and more... in a matter of minutes, the world is exploding in volcanoes, and, even from space, cities are seen to burn, oceans go mad, etc. etc. Then, the projection pauses. "That was in real time. It took only a few minutes for this to happen. A jewel of a world, for all intents and purposes, gone. Billions died, nothing was left. That anyone survived the nonslaught of demons and magic was a mircale on its own."
"I think I'm going to be sick." Rozatonosky muttered weakly from his chair.
THe room re-lit. "This really is a doomsday scenario." Tobrias says. "And well within the rights of the Slayer Council to mobilize any resource they need. Meanwhile, Miss Abramson, I need you to ensure every book on that pyramid or any pyramid in the guild library is accounted for. In person."

Bianca nods, "Certainly. Will there be anything else before I get started." She stands ready to begin her research at a moments notice.

Sarah takes Coop's hand and squeezes it gently as she listens to Eleutheroi, paling visibly as she watches the projector. Nodding at Tobrias, finally understanding what is at stake, she looks over at Bianca and shakes her head. "No. Please find the books as quickly as you can." She implores quietly.

Taking her bag, she goes to the library. She often reads magic books in her spare time, so she already knows where some of them are and she knows how to find the rest. Already she is planning on gathering the magical research, utility, and historical books with a mention of the pyramid.

Coop felt a knot in his stomach as Tobrias laid out the possibilities. " Why would anyone willingly want to cause that kind of destruction?" even as he held Sarah's hand, a horrible thought occured to him. " Do you know who this summoner is?" He nearly added a 'please tell me it's not a Cooper', but kept it in.

"We aren't completely sure, yet." Eleutheroi says. "Tracking him's been hard, since he seems to have many places to live. Right now, we're hoping he'll have a pet somewhere we can... request information from."
"As to why." Tobrias says, calmly. "Not everyone is right-minded."
(Bianca) As B sets to her task, she finds that the number of books with any pyramidal information is quite intimidating... some might even have been in the domain of public libraries.

" A pet? You mean like a familiar?" Coop asked, making it apparent he had paid attention to his studies. " i know this may sound stupid, but could it be someone that has had run ins here in Goltheria before, and would want revenge of some sort?"

Bianca uses bibliographies to record which books seem to be the most significant noting both which ones are widely used and also which ones are used rarely. She also keeps track of any rarely used or widely used books which are in the public domain.

(Coop and Sarah) Eleutheroi shrugs at Coop'S question. "It's possible." He says. "The rift I sensed could have been him leaving."
"I suspect he's been here for some time." Rozatonosky says, finding his voice again. "That was a very elaborate spread in that apartment. And usually, this has been in the works for some time."
Tobrias looks over at Sarah. "This may require an expanded number of people."
(Bianca) The list quickly grows, since the pyramid is such a fixture to the city. Some of the books are even manuscripts thousands of years old. Though, the mentions are most often simply the pyramid's role, some do detail pyramid technology - the oldest Fayde/Atlantean and Dwarven books especially.
