[Ducks, today you are looking onto the bridge of what is unmistakably a starship, in flight if the view of space in the distance is to be believed. Before you sits a young boy in his early teens, with a stern expression, and in a rather ornate coat with spiked shoulders.]

Greetings. My name is Chrono Harlaown, Enforcer, Time-Space Administration Bureau. I'm joining this community today following a few odd clues I've found at recent scenes of dimensional crimes, mentioning "ducks;" I'm not certain they were meant to lead me here, but a lead is a lead all the same. I hope we can get along.

[He relaxes just a hair.] I feel my first question should be... what is this? I can tell it's a community for people to communicate, but beyond that I'm not certain. Am I understanding correctly that it functions across dimensions?

It takes some time, but you'll get used to everything around here. My name is Aqua. I didn't realize there were others who traveled the worlds to try to keep the peace.

[coolblueiceman]

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Aqua.

It's part of my service oath to the Bureau. We protect the safety of dimensional space, often from the abuse of Lost Logia, powerful artifacts from a lost colony. Although, we've had a lot of items lately that are of the same power tier as Lost Logia, but are more recent. The analysis teams are scratching their heads; they insist creation of such powerful items shouldn't be possible with modern magic and technology.

[shiningwaters]

Is it possible that they've been leaked from other worlds?

[coolblueiceman]

It's definitely possible. Illegal trading, of Lost Logia and other weaponry, is something we take very seriously. We're trying to track down the sorts of things we've been finding lately, but... they're really making this difficult for us. It doesn't help that some of the items they're using are extremely powerful, so we have to keep our distance or risk being shot out of space.

[shiningwaters]

That is trouble. And they're too ancient to know how to protect against them?

[coolblueiceman]

Lost Logia are a special case; typically they're so powerful it's hard to do much aside from sealing them - which takes quite a bit of power in and of itself - or destroying them. We had a recent case with a set of nearly two dozen identical Lost Logia, each more powerful than I could readily seal without help.

As for the more recent items... it's hard to figure out what we're dealing with until after the object has been activated, so we've been playing containment more than anything.

[shiningwaters]

And because they're "lost," there's not a lot of available information on them anyway, I'm guessing?

I haven't seen anything like that on any of the worlds I've been in, but I'll let you know if I see anything.

[coolblueiceman]

Right. If we've seen one we can take data on it, but we don't necessarily know where they are at any given time, and there are so many different artifacts that we can't just give all the information to all our officers - it'd be too much to sort through. So we keep the data on our ships, and if we need it, we search through. It's why most of our ships have at least one person trained as an information officer. [He glances away from the screen at someone nearby and nods slightly.]

You have my thanks. The Dimensional Sea is a harsh place for the unprepared. We're trying to make things a little easier for everyone.

[shiningwaters]

That's a really organized system you have. It's a shame there's so few of us Keyblade bearers for us to get that organized a system of investigating disturbances.

[coolblueiceman]

Well... I don't know if you'd be interested, but I don't see a problem with some kind of information sharing between your colleagues and the Bureau. Considering we're all in this together, I would think it's a good idea.

[shiningwaters]

All right. I haven't reported back to Master Eraqus in a while, but I'm sure he'd be fine with the idea.
