@everyone, end of week 2 (after solvunn visits)

[Viktor’s hurried script is maybe familiar to some, but what’s different now (beyond the fact that it’s slightly more hurried) is that it appears on its own. Whatever this is about, it’s apparently important enough for him to make a rare solo appearance, a departure from his joint broadcast with Jayce. Right now, it's just him, relaying information as quickly and expediently as possible.

If you’re not necessarily familiar with Viktor himself, the words match those soliciting location information not too long ago. It seems this is the culmination of those efforts.

We know where the captives are being held. It’s an island directly north of the Singularity crater, roughly three hours off the coast of Thorne’s border, where I am now. I’ve created a map in my Horizon to show the location, as well as the data from the trackers that allowed me to pinpoint it. The explanation is slightly technical, but suffice to say the system is improved to the point where I am confident in its accuracy. Jayce and I can answer any questions about it, though you may need to direct inquiries regarding the magical component to Stephen.

[Who is here, also.]

Thank you to those who offered to collect additional data with the receivers. We would not have been able to locate this place otherwise.

The island itself is not large, though we suspect it’s heavily warded, with the exact holding area magically concealed. We weren’t able to detect anyone coming or going, so it’s likely the captors are using portals to access it directly from various abduction sites. I imagine this aligns with other investigations.

What happens now will require cooperation. Sam has done what reconnaissance he can, but we're not sure of what awaits us on the island itself, nor do we know who is responsible. Accessing the island will require us to eliminate its magical defenses or otherwise dispel its enchantments—any additional information that anyone has gathered is, at this point, vital to share.


[ooc: full receipts are here for the curious! responses may come from any of the four characters currently investigating the island, and please thread jack away. pit people…feel free to receive snippets of this message as appropriate. for additional plotting/convergence of plots, hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] whitticus or discord at whitticus#8139.]

No, and I'm not sure I think it's safe for one of us to land there alone right now. There's supposedly heavy magics on that island, you wouldn't know what you were landing on. It is probably wisest for us to put together a rescue team and approach the island more prepared. I understand there is a time concern here, but someone as important as you should not be risked. We need your help to maybe convince the powers that be to get us a ship or a portal over there.

I'm sure you can manage on your own with the merit of your own charms.

Jaskier. As charming as I may be, there is no substitute for you. I do understand, my sister is still there, I wanted to leave right away, but rushing in there could put them at more risk. They may even move them before we can do anything.

I don't know if we can actually convince the factions to all work together to get us there, this is going to take some real diplomacy. Or help from Luna.

A sound argument.

[That's all he's getting for now.]

I'm sorry.

I think this may be the time we might want to meet in person in Nocwich or Luna, as a group and talk about next steps.
