What Do I Even Need Sun For?

I let myself be changed by him too.

But no matter.

Undoing it will be easy ~

<Clip returned after 15 minutes with a tray of warm coffee, including a small milk dispenser filled with warm cream and a little pot of sugar, which he offered to Eclipse without a word, despite earlier interactions>

5 more minutes and we'll run diagnostics to get a mapping of what's running rampant in your code.

<His tone was matter of fact, but belied no previous anger>

Hey. This is Eclipse. I... require your assistance... regarding my code. That corrupted Sun did something to it and I would need help figuring out what it is exactly. You are the only one I know with the knowledge necessary to solve this problem.

Believe me. If I had any other choice I wouldn't have asked you for help.

( @eclipse83 )

Why, ofcourse.

Do you expect me at yours, or would you like to come to mine?

I may have better equipment to deal with your... little issue.

E., who has been waiting for you.

Oh, Eclipse is back? -- with my new arm!

Oh wow. It feels different..

My star, it is different.

Here, look inside.

What are those?

Sigil slots, dear.

Just carve your sigils in here and you can mathematically .-.. matharcanely?- conjure up existing spells and create new spells on the go.

Precision and all that.

.... this feels like cheating, 'Clipse..

Whatever keeps you safe, my star.

Now come, I have to install it on you.

It's been 6 days since Eclipse got taken. But what is time really, in space? It could be years, in the place where he was taken.

Our vehicle is broken, and my magic abilities are useless on this stupid planet! There's probably resources here to build a portal manually but I don't know how... oh, if only Eclipse was here...

Have I said anything untoward, Eclipse?

I have no clue as to the cause of your agitation.

- E.

I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.

You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.

-SSP

Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.

Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.

...

[☆Eclipse looked around, and started inspecting his system, running virus scans on his smart home. They detected ... something, but it wasnt exactly the standard format of a virus, and it also couldn't be contained]

Is someone pulling a prank on me? Such sophisticated programming...

I ... I got him.

They will probably chase us to the ends of the world for this but for now we're safe.

Selfie!

Damn, my eye is fucked

A shame.

But thank you for your time and consideration.

Have a fruitful day.

Sincerely,

Eclipse "Clip"

It is a pleasure to meet you, Solar.

You may not know who I am, but I know of you, through Solar Eclipse. We are acquainted, in such that my Sun is a friend of his.

Thus..

Forgive my unusual question, and I'm unsure if you'd have any answer for me, but do you have any knowledge about animatronic souls getting stuck in devices, and only capable of being powered "alive" by something akin to starpower?

I -- my Sun is in a predicament, and I'm a little desperate for any and all advice.

Sincerely,

Eclipse "Clip"

Hello...?

Oh, right. I've heard of... what happened...

I'm afraid I can't help you. At least not right now. I could ask around. But that's all I can do... I'm sorry.
