This IS the Path!

 We are back to ourselves, but that might make this reality even more strange for it's partial normalcy.

The people are people, mostly as I'm used to, but the world around us (though world is hardly an accurate word) is vastly different. We seemed to be on some sort of ship, but the materials are different. Instead of wood, most of it is steel. There were other materials that I can't even identify.

In any case, we awakened -- yet again -- surrounded by the teleportation glyph, this time in a small room. We were met shortly by our contact in this realm, Lady Blackbird. She said a lot of things that didn't make much sense at the time: Nightport past Haven, Uriah Flint, the Pirate King in the Remnants. We were interrupted by flashing red lights and much activity, so we hurried to the bridge. This is where the real wonder of this realm was apparent. We appeared to be sailing through a starry night, but with no water below us. Just this strange ship in the night sky. We were lit partially by a huge blue mage-light of some kind on our left. Someone called it a star, but that made no sense to me -- stars are tiny, this was possibly larger than our ship.

Apparently the red lights and commotion were about a boarding party, as one entered the bridge not too long after us. Led by a bounty hunter named Veronica, she was there to take Lady Blackbird. We were torn. Her crew looked far more capable than we did, and we still had no real information of what was going on and what we were supposed to do. We thought possibly to let them go, then pursue and stage a rescue. However, though Veronica said she would leave us all in peace, once she had Lady Blackbird in custody, it was suddenly clear to me that she was ordering her crew to kill us. This pretty much made our minds up, and battle was joined. As it turned out, they were much more show than substance, and we finished things with few injuries.

In the aftermath, we tried to figure out what was going on. We talked to the crew, but they were essentially hired hands, with some local information, but no understanding of what we were going through. We found Lady Blackbird in her room and proceeded to try to get some answers. Avery was, shall we say, very direct. He intimidated and interrogated her, and while she didn't seem particularly intimidated, she did give us some information. There was much that she was "not allowed" to tell us, and some of what she said didn't make a whole lot of sense. 

Lady Blackbird is an alias. Her real name is Natasha. According to her, the three of us volunteered to be a part of "ERPEC" or "the Corps," but as part of the training process, our memory of that volunteering was wiped. We are then sent from reality to reality (maybe into other people's bodies?), doing what we can to stop the machinations of "K," who is destroying universes. In the middle of this stream of information, she imparted that while this process is partly a way for the Corps to evaluate us as agents or operatives or whatever, it is more a journey of self-discovery.

Finally! A sure sign that this is the path Master Quoth set me on! I am doing what I should be doing.
