And after a while, Mirror will send Blue Lantern a message!

Some people interested in asking questions about you! Don't think I spilled anything, but there is freaking out like I've never seen before going on. Which means you're doing good work. Congratulations!

And the Gentleman will study the prison in which Doctor Dimensional is held.

Some worlds you can save. Some futures you can live in.

Others, well...

Others are more for informational value.

Musoka is dreaming.

---

The masked assailants are back; Bull is charging her and Spider's fire is around on all sides, blocking her escape... but she raises her ring, glowing bright, and the HUD from Stargunner: Revelations pops up. Her power armor (which is apparently a party member now) shouts encouragement as she uses a dodge art to jump over Bull's charge and stagger him. She nails the QTE and imprisons him in a cutscene-counter. Ooooh, bonus drops!

---

The fight is wrapping up (complete with victory music). Her therapist pops out of the power armor and asks her how her relationship with Ceru is going. Musoka thinks it's going fine, but for some reason, she's having trouble checking the affinity chart to confirm. The text is all garbled. A glitch, maybe? 

Her therapist is still looking at her expectantly. Huh. I guess the affinity chart doesn't pause the game... She gives an awkward thumbs-up, and then jets off into space.

---

Musoka is looking at the world from orbit, marveling at the sight, and then she sees it blur, and suddenly she's in the False Sage's box again. Her heart rate rises, but she opens the world map, and - huh, it looks like they didn't disable fast travel for this sequence? She's not really feeling it, so she selects the Twentieth Century building and then she's there instead. Minerva's on the roof with a quest-marker box over her head, so she flies up...

---

Mimi is having her second, fatal stroke... but this time she's right there, Ceru on her finger, and this time she can help. Blue light bursts out of her and envelops Mimi. It's over in an instant, and then Mimi is looking up at her with her full, warm smile Musoka hasn't seen for over half her life, and pulls her into a hug. 

"Oh, my little blue butterfly...", she sighs into Musoka's ear, stroking her hair. "I always said you'd change the world one day, didn't I? And look at you now!"

I've missed you, Mimi. But I always knew you'd be proud of me.

- and then she wakes up, eyes a little watery. Hugs herself.

<'morning>, she thinks lazily at Ceru. <Do we have any scheduled disasters for the day?>

<Good morning, Musoka! The time is 9:50 am. Today we have an intake appointment with a PR specialist that I set up last night, which I suppose could be a disaster! Not much else, though. It'd be good to do some training, but you're also free to spend most of the day playing Stargunner, if you really want to.>

<Mirror messaged you late last night after you went to bed, by the way.> She adds, a moment later.

Musoka snorts at the mention of the PR meeting. <Thanks for setting that up. And yeah, I'd like to practice training... Maybe some kind of sparring with other heroes? Is that a thing?>

She reads Mirror's message. Raises an eyebrow. <Dunno what to think of that, really.  Maybe we should ask Minerva if she knows what that's about.>

She'll send off a "😇 💙😇" in reply, though, and get ready for the day. 

And while she does, Ceru will message Minerva.

Musoka is interested in sparring to practice using her powers in a more controlled environment, if you have any recommendations for sparring partners and venues (or alternative suggestions).

Also, Mirror mentioned that someone's been asking her questions about Blue Lantern. She seemed to think this was a good sign?

I can schedule her sparring matches whenever she needs it; there's plenty of superheroes who'd be happy for a chance to spar with someone they don't know, especially given that she can heal any scratches that result.

I don't know if it's a good sign or not; I don't know Mirror well enough. I'd expect a great many people to ask questions about anyone who knows Blue Lantern.

<Minerva can schedule a sparring match, when do you want it?>

<Can we do one NOW???>

<...I can ask?>

She's interested in sparring now, apparently! Or sometime later today, if that works better.

That can be provided.

Hmm, who is there... Minerva herself can't be healed and is never not on call... Musoka's learned the "you might always be attacked" lesson and needs a different one so she doesn't need to pick someone who can win so much as someone who will competently execute standard strategies...

Does it work for her to do a healing stop once she's done?

<It sounds like Minerva has someone in mind. Are you up for doing a round of healing afterwards?>

    <Yeah!!! I love healing, it's so refreshing.>

d'awwww. <Alright, I'll let her know.>

That works for her, yes. 

Pleased to hear it. West coast, outside San Jose -

And she can give directions.

He goes by Sanctuary.

Excellent. We should be there shortly.

<Okay. Once you finish getting ready to head out and recharge, we'll be heading to California> and she shares an impression of the location <to spar with someone named Sanctuary.>

<Awesome!>

Musoka eats a hurried breakfast, takes her meds, charges her ring, and -

<...wait, should I bring the power armor?>

<Even if Sanctuary would prefer to fight you without it, I don't see any harm in travelling in it. If anything serious happens, it'll be safer to have it with us.>

<Good point!>

- jumps into her power armor, opens Minerva's garage door, and then flies off, rapidly ascending before leveling off at about 10 miles up and then heading westward.

She travels ridiculously fast, well above the level aircraft normally go, and there's really... not that much up there. She can arrive without incident.

Awesome! She'll descend just as rapidly, then.

Can she spot Sanctuary form the air?

Yep! He's off in a fairly large unwatered scrub area just east of pasture, hovering in midair, his cape fluttering in the breeze. He's in his thirties or so, has a quiet, mournful expression on his aristocratic face, and wears brown and green that covers most of his face. He carries a sword that is sealed into its (titanium or something) scabbard by both literal chains and what looks like a solid steel ring that has been welded to keep it locked in, and is currently look at his phone, held in one hand.

That's gotta be him!

She zoo- she remembers how she startled Mirror and slows down to a pace that eyes can easily track, glowing a bit brighter than usual.

She uses Ceru to make her voice audible (though not loud) at a distance and says "Sanctuary?" 

There's a fraction of a moment's flinch, and he looks up at her, slipping his phone into one pocket. "Blue Lantern. Minerva told me you wanted to spar." His movements are all slow and careful, relaxed rather than tense; the speed of someone who has all the time in the world and doesn't want to make any dumb mistakes.

"Yeah!" 

She pauses for a moment, and then adds "I've never really done any sparring before. What rules would you like us to use?"
