 Gaia returns to the [[place:Pole Land]] to do more testing with [[thing:the glove]]. Once again, [[npc:Amanda]] becomes visible as something gigantic other than a simple squirrel, and this time she actually exchanges some words with Gaia. Amanda tells Gaia that she should take the glove off before she can't anymore, and Gaia suddenly finds herself lying in the floor, the short exchange having actually taken more than one hour in real time. Gaia returns to the [[place:Pole Land]] to do more testing with [[thing:the glove]].

-Maelle then recruits Clark and Gaia as the people who found the body originally, and is led by them to the place in the stream where the fight with Vituska took place. Maelle is very confused by the signs the fight left in the land, but is interrupted in her investigation by an helicopter flying dangerously inside the zone blasting a message telling all army units that there's a "dangerous psychic" loose inside.+Maelle then recruits Clark and Gaia as the people who found the body originally, and is led by them to the place in the stream where the fight with [[npc:victor_vituska|Vituska]] took place.

 Gaia is ambushed and attacked by [[npc:maal|someone]]. To the party's surprise, she looks like a neanderthal woman.

-Gaia wakes up tied in the ruins of a basement in the outskirts of Nuskom and discovers that the woman she has been following is talking to Amanda.

 Clark, Maelle, and the patrol follow the trail to the ruins of a house in the outskirts of the deep zone, but get into a discussion about Clark and Maelle going inside with the patrol. The discussion is interrupted by Maal, who has apparently a //very// good sense of hearing, and knows how to shoot Gaia's rifle. Clark, Maelle, and the patrol follow the trail to the ruins of a house in the outskirts of the deep zone, but get into a discussion about Clark and Maelle going inside with the patrol.

 Being slightly high from being close to the deep zone for the first time in years, Maelle says a couple things she should not normally say, and the patrol interprets it as they being on the side of the shooter, so Maelle and Clark end having to take refuge in the basement and defending it from the patrol. Being slightly high from being close to the deep zone for the first time in years, Maelle says a couple things she should not normally say, and the patrol interprets it as they being on the side of the shooter, so Maelle and Clark end having to take refuge in the basement and defending it from the patrol.

 Apparently Maal has extremely good luck when performing awesome or hilarous feats of strength: first, she got a perfect roll when hitting Clark with Maelle; then she managed to finish a rigasian soldier with a broken-down metal chair, prompting Maelle's player to call her "neolithic queen". Apparently Maal has extremely good luck when performing awesome or hilarous feats of strength: first, she got a perfect roll when hitting Clark with Maelle; then she managed to finish a rigasian soldier with a broken-down metal chair, prompting Maelle's player to call her "neolithic queen".
