Valerie paced, warily. From what she'd read about the world of Utopia, it wasn't entirely what it seemed. Some areas were highly technologically advanced, some were practically stone-aged, and each place seemed to function happily on its own without ever needing to consult any of the others. Head Office had sent her here claiming something was wrong. They hadn't heard from their contacts on the world for a while and needed a Quester to investigate. Upon arrival, Valerie had instantly requested backup of the fighting kind. She had been sent to one of the major technological cities locally known as "Imsuqei", but when she arrived it was already in ruins. Black smoke billowed from the wreckage. No building had remained standing. Broken cables sparked everywhere. Burst pipes spilled their contents, which flowed like rivers down the narrow streets. Valerie was standing on high ground beside the closed portal surveying the scene as she waited, recording every sight, sound and smell. A quick scan told her there were the remains of organic life in the city, some vegetable and some animal, but beyond that she couldn't tell. It could be people, it could be animals. It could be they were the same thing on this planet. Valerie glanced back at the portal, hoping her backup would arrive soon.

Nabarl looked around his new quarters. Then the envelope on his desk.
"It would have been nice to have an actual bed for a day before heading off again..."
Still, the post said it was urgent. And after such a long time in the Pokemon lands, he was glad of a chance to do the fighting himself again.
He made sure his boots were properly done, and his scythe fully sharpened, before heading to the portal room.
He emerged into somewhere obviously well beyond his homeworld technologically speaking, if it weren't for the fact that it was, up until recently, on fire.
He saw a long figure stood in front of the portal, evidently waiting for back up. However, his short distance vision had blurred during the teleportation, and he couldn't make them out.

Valerie spun around upon hearing the portal start up again, saw Nabarl and relaxed a little. "Nabarl!" she called "Good to see you"

Nabarl ognised the voice almost immediately.
"Hello Valerie. Give me a second or two - eyes have gone a bit blurry." He said, blinking for a short time, until his eyes cleared up a little. "Well, not perfect, but it's a start."
He turned to look at the city. It was worse than he'd first thought. "I have a feeling there's going to be more than just us two..."

Meyla had been intrigued to come on this quest. After her last foray through the strange but wonderful world of Oz, she was glad to be going back to something vaguely normal. HQ had told her that her powers would be very welcome on this particular one, and she was happy just to have somewhere that she was able to practice her magic.
Meyla jumped through the portal with her pack on her back and landed in what looked to her like some futuristic wasteland. She had never seen anything such as this before.
Once Meyla had composed herself, she noticed two people standing near to where she had landed.
'These must be the people I'm to help,' Meyla thought to herself.

Nabarl heard the sound of the portal letting another being into the world, and turned around. This time, it was someone he didn't recognise.
"I'm going to assume you're more help, and not just on leave, right?" Nabarl asked the newcomer.

Meyla took a few steps forwards, "QA?" she asked.
It was then that she looked around herself and realised the amount of damage this place had taken.
"What happened here?"

"Yep, we're QA. Well, I am now, and I'm almost certain Valerie still is." Nabarl replied. "As for what happened, I'm not sure, Valerie was the one sent the request for back up."

"I'm Meyla," she said with a smile. She turned to Valerie, "Do you know what has happened?"

"HQ lost contact with the world and sent me to look it over, given my abilities." Valerie said "I got here, saw the destruction and called in for backup. There's some organic decomposition down there, but that's all I know" she sighed.
