a Sapphire on Earth-16 with an indigo power ring

Sapphire wakes up on... the surface of the moon? It's white and dusty and gravity feels weaker than it should. The sky is dark and she can see the Earth and Sun in the distance. Her right hand bears a glowing indigo ring, her left holds a similarly colored staff.

That is definitely not where she fell asleep. She takes a breath to steady herself and it only then occurs to her to wonder how exactly she's able to breathe. There isn't supposed to be air on the moon. The staff and the ring are also new... She mutters a quick prayer. "God please help me understand this trial I find myself in."

Not only is she comfortably breathing, she is also at a comfortable temperature, and her entire body is surrounded by a faint indigo aura.

Permalink

She looks down at herself. "Why am I glowing? Did I die?"

Permalink

She can—not quite hear, but something like it—a voice in her head.

"Glowing is caused by environmental shield. No data on possible past death of user."

Permalink

She flinches. "Who said that?"

Permalink

"This is your ring's computer."

Permalink

She looks at the ring.... it seems pretty small to have a full computer in it, let alone a telepathic one. "Do you know how I got here?"

Permalink

That's disappointing. "Alright, can you tell me more about what kind of ring you are?"

Permalink

"This is a power ring, attuned to the Indigo Light of Compassion."

Permalink

"What's a power ring and what does it mean for you to be attuned to compassion?"

Permalink

"This ring functions to store and enable its user to channel Indigo Light. It is not possible to use any other form of Light."

Permalink

"What can I do with Indigo light?"

Permalink

"Exhaustive listing of capabilities not recommended."

Permalink

"So it's flexible. Do you know what this staff is? It seems like it might be related to the ring."

Permalink

"Staff is linked to ring and serves as source of Light."

Permalink

"How do I use the staff and the ring?"

Permalink

"Intent, and sufficient Compassion to execute the intended course of action, is generally sufficient."

Permalink

"I should have asked this earlier, are you a person?"

Permalink

"Unable to comply; 'person' insufficiently specified."

Permalink

"That's an important question isn't it. I think by person I mean a being with emotions, desires, and the ability to make decisions."

Permalink

"This ring is not a person."

Permalink

"Alright, if that changes let me know." She pauses. "Can you help me get to that planet over there?"

Permalink

"Affirmative."

She really wants to go back to her dorm room. "How do we do that then?"
