Felix nods. "I am a half-elf and Diviner Mage. Henry, take the explanation from here?" He will follow Caine's lead.

"Sure, do you guys have any questions?"

Caine will lead Felix down the hallway and into the study, where they will find that the bookshelf is covering the hidden door again. He crouches down in front of the desk and searches for any irregularities in the wood. Not finding any, he runs his hands over it, until something gives a little click, and the bookshelf starts sliding out of the way. 

Once inside the armoury Caine gestures to the items on the walls, "They're all the same, so far as I can tell," he says evenly. 

Robin waits for Caine to get out of earshot before speaking, "So can you guys help us find Caine's dad?" He asks. 

Felix approaches... there is a staff on his hand where there wasn't one. He waves and a circle of runes appears in front of him. He removes his eye-patch. Where the eye was supposed to be, there is... it's like looking at a galaxy.

"Huh... I think I can tell what they do, at least in a way that let us test them without being afraid of blowing ourselves up."

"We should, that's exactly the kind of thing Felix does. Uh, Felix's class is Diviner Mage, which sort of represents the DM. His powers are finding-adventure-and-give-advice focused."

"The poor thing was so bored, staying behind when we would have all the fun."

"Hey, yeah, did you guys find anything interesting when you split up?" Jamie asks, reminded. He gestures at the scanner, "We have a map of possibly interesting sites, but we haven't visited most of them." 

Caine hums. Robin would probably say something about the relative goodness of not being blown up, but all Caine says is, "Thanks." 

He looks over at the empty part of the wall, "Can you tell if we have any of the plastic weapons left?" He asks. 

Related, he curses himself for being so distracted as to not grab the weapon the shapeshifter had been threatening him with. 

"What do you mean with plastic weapons?" Regardless he creates more cool runic light show.

"We might have found another alien, but I didn't get any danger vibe from them. Can I see the map?"

"Robin and Jamie mentioned then earlier," he says, "The shapeshifters are vulnerable to a type of plastic. The weapons fire streams of it." 

Erin pokes through the scanner's menu and pulls up the map, offering it to Henry. "I can read this language," she mentions, "But the others can't, and I couldn't before yesterday."

"Okay... give me a few minutes."

Felix sets to work.

"Yeah, same thing with me and Orcish. And the twins with Elvish." He says examining the thing. "The possible alien we saw wasn't in any of those places."

"Yeah, he could just have been racist against people of Orcish descent. Or slave-owners, which is pretty much the same, I guess."

"Wait, Orcs are slave owners?" She pauses, "Shouldn't we, um. Fix that?" 

Seeing as that subject is being tackled, Jamie turns to Henry, "Well, what kind of building was it? I might have seen it," he huffs, "Assuming it didn't appear out of nowhere like the Mercury Synthesis factories." 

Caine leans back against the doorway to watch Felix work. He briefly wonders whether Sam followed them back to the apartment; giant lizard or not, he might know something about this stuff. He knew how to work Erin's wig hologram, after all. 

"You can't! It's oppressing their culture! Just like how people of elven people are allowed to walk around naked."

"Try to be a little less... yourself, Gabe. And the current state of things is our best fix. Our cluster wasn't responsible for the fantasy races, and the one that... caused Orcs died before even got to their town. We managed to make the slavery thing be something like voluntary indenture and add a bunch of provisions against the mistreatment of slaves. And people act like they are out of satirical piece about respecting cultural minorities. It's insane."

"When people leave the affected areas they sort of return to normal. We've been mostly trying to get most enslave people out, it's easier than dealing with magic or trying to abolish the relevant laws." Fenris speaks after a long silent.

"I am sure can't complain about my master." He raises, showing the chain dangling from his wrists, while patting Henry on the shoulder.

Henry flinches.

Drawn into the conversation, Jamie tenses, and then makes himself relax. If Gabe's is as fine with it as he acts, then it's fine, right? Though, Henry looks less than enthused...

Jamie's not actually sure why the idea of forced servitude bothers him so much. Sure, he's had a few iffy foster families, but none of them were that bad. 

Robin blinks, looks between the shackles and the tusks. He's not sure whether or how to address that flinch, but, "How'd that happen?" He asks, "If it wasn't from your cluster... do things from the new cluster start applying to you once you're in them?"
