Mars and Rachel From the outside of the large lab, you can see the place where the Symphony Summon beast rests. In the heart of Melodis, amongst the ruined buildings, a large dome of blue, celestial energy sits. Within there, the Symphony Summon sleeps. Luckily, the heroes managed to seal away the Symphony Summon beast, but could not stop the other effects of the Symphony Summon. Once its attack was let loose, the world would permanently be changed. After their trip together, the two head inside of the lab and look around. This building was made to keep track of the dome. Lawrence, the former leader of the Grand Library lives here, watching over it. Lawrence's assistant greets the two at the door. She pushes her glasses back up her face, to keep them from falling off and checks a clipboard. In a very bored fashion, she greets them. "Welcome to the Observation Lab. You two must be the ones that Lawrence asked to come help. As two leaders and representatives of the Hope Guild, it's an honor to meet you." She then leads you both down a long hall and into a large room.
There, they can see a large holographic display of the dome. There are multiple lights and signals and such all over it, but you can't really understand any of it. A Beastman stands in front of the hologram, inspecting it closely and typing in commands into a computer. "Sir, the two representatives from the Hope Guild are here to see you." He turns around and see Lawrence in his new form as a Beastman. His hair has changed to a silver color and fur covers his body entirely. He wears no shoes and you can see his bare feet. They are larger than before and have claws on the toes. His hands are larger as well, with claws on his fingers. He wears a worn and torn labcoat that no longer appears to be buttonable. Likely a relic of his past. His chest is exposed from this. He wears white pants to match the lab coat with torn up bottoms on the pant legs. His face resembles a dog with both the ears and the tail. He looks a lot like the fox that used to be his Note Beast. A glowing, blue symbol is on his forehead. It looks like a star. A symbol of a sun is on his right hand and a symbol of a moon is on his left. He no longer wears glasses like he used to either. He looks almost like a scientist transformed into a Werefox...which is pretty much what happened.
"Mars. Rachel. Thank you for coming on such short notice. I'm glad you could make it. This is seriously important." He points to the hologram, toward a spot that glows red and sends pulsating, circular, red lines throughout the rest of the hologram. "The barrier is weakening."

Rachel leans on a wall, crossing her arms.
"It feels weird being back here... Last time I was in here, it was as an enemy of the Grand Library... This makes me think, I still have the stolen pages if you want them back."
She then walks to the hologram and looks at it longly.
"This thing will never stop won't it? How many people have to die?"
She turns to Lawrence.
"This is already better than the timeline I originally came from at least... What's your plan?"

Lawrence tilts his head a bit. "You still have the pages stolen from the books? Well, you can return them if you'd like. I'm not really sure if we still have those books anymore. We tried to salvage everything we could from the old library. Give them to my assistant. She will take care of them." Rachel gives the assistant the pages and she heads out of the room with them. As Rachel asks what the plan is, Lawrence shakes his head. "I'm not sure. This is all still very new to everyone. Including me. But I do think I know of one thing that could help." Lawrence pushes a button, pulling up a holographic map. "Up here in the north. Where the old Ancient Warriors base was. The place is in ruins now, but it's the best lead I've got. If you can make it there alright, the ruins should contain information on how to combat this beast. Yes, I know, fighting the Symphony Summon sounds like suicide, but I've found something interesting. A rock slab taken from those same ruins that talks about another time this Symphony Summon was performed. Yes, the first time. There might be more information in those ruins. It's the best I've got. Without Yan, Yen, and Yun, I'm afraid I can't make another barrier quite like this. But I will do my best to keep it from getting any more damaged."

Mars: "...Sadly enough, I know you're right. It's not much of a choice anymore with the situation as it is, but we'll do our best. But... how much longer will the barrier last at this rate?"

"Call it suicide or not, fighting the Symphony Summoning is what I devoted my entire life to do. If what we need is information, that's what I'm gonna get.
I just have to get Kolos and I'm ready."
Rachel seems a bit tense as she mentions Kolos.
"Yeah... I'll have to prevent it from killing anyone before we have some enemies to kill. That note beast was designed to kill and it's what it wants to do... And it's been a while now... Getting it out of it's cage will be... Something."

"The barrier should last a while longer. I think I can keep it up for at least a few months. But I wouldn't wait to start working on finding a way to kill that beast." He then turns to Rachel. "There might be a way to calm Kolos and change him to a more controlled form. But you would need a Light Gem. Ever since the Symphony Summon, Gems have become even more difficult to find. Speaking of Note Beasts, Mars, where is Ayane right now?"

"I'll be okay. As soon as we get back into things, everything should be fine.
I'd be scared our bond diminishes if I change his nature."

Mars: "I think she wanted to stay outside and guard the perimeter. She's still a little distant after this all started, but who wouldn't be? Her and everyone else are holding up surprisingly well."

"That's good to hear. We're going to need everyone to stay emotionally intact if we hope to survive. If you could, please return to the Hope Guild and give the others of your level the information I've told you. I'm sure you're busy training new recruits, but this is very important." Ayane walks in once Lawrence says that and confirms that the perimeter is secured.

I'm just waiting for you guys to either do something or leave to report back to Hope Guild Base.

Rachel will go to pick up Kolos' cage, then report back to the base.
