The tunnel goes on quite a long time without more than the occasional drop of goo. No more puddles. How long would you want to go down the tunnel? After ten minutes you've found nothing interesting.

Just one more time. If I not find anything interesting I going to return to my group.

Solosis just stares.

You return to the group then. You're gone about 45 minutes,

[Dragonstrike]

Solosis just stares.

"I'll take that as a 'don't care'.  Alright, I'm done with the questions for now.  Do as I tell you, and I won't have to stick Calam back on the job of KOing ya...or worse.  I want you staying next to me at ALL times unless I say otherwise, got it?  No running off, no trouble making.  I'm going to be keeping a close eye on you.  Is that clear?"

[Spiritmon]

Heart after 45 minutes he re-appear from a dark cave and see his friends. "Heya people, I back." Heart slowy join with the others. "First of all, I find another patch of goo, dripping from another hole in the ceiling. There's a tunnel up there, running parallel to yours and ending quite abruptly at the hole. The tunnel goes on quite a long time without more than the occasional drop of goo. No more puddles. I didnt see any danger and I make sure I was not followed. Oh I almost forgot."

Heart search his bag and take the goo sample. "I take few of the goo in this empty potion bottle. I always make sure to clean up to re-use again. Mr. Finder, could you do your thing to make sure its the same goo from where come our little Solosis spy?"

[Iron]

Solosis agrees to those terms until it becomes convenient to do otherwise.

"Well, this goo is actually from, oh yes, a different Solosis. So there must have been more than one. This one smells like Rock types, and yes, they do smell different from normal stone."

[Spiritmon]

"Another one...thats not good. They might have send another Solosis....thanks godness he havent follow us. It was a good idea to go foward." Heart pick-up the information about rock-type smell. "Rock-type? Thats not good...we must get out of here. Like, now."

[Iron]

"Actually that second one smells far away, according to Slurpuff. It's at least 10 miles back."

[Dragonstrike]

At this point, Nathan's back out, with the Solosis by his side.  And Calam and Ralts.  He's been waiting for Heart to come back before telling everyone his findings.  There's a cold, ANGRY look in his eyes the entire time.  And a good portion of tired sadness, too...

"...well, that means they're still tracking us, then.  Lovely.  Well, I learned something rather...interesting and completely disturbing.  These Solosis have almost no will of their own.  It's as if they've come in direct contact with Mesprit or Azelf themselves.  They don't feel anything.  Nothing at all.  Their only 'feeling' is a driven, unnatural loyalty to those who command them.  They do still have some sense of self preservation, but only just.  If their master gives them the order to fight, they'll fight, but they won't risk themselves if they aren't commanded to.  They've been turned into practically soulless, uncaring machines with very few drawbacks.  There might be a way to reverse it...but we're likely far away from anything that could...it'd probably take a Legendary power to break that control over them..."

...

"...they're opportunistic.  If they can do something to us without retribution, they will, so long as they're given the order to or it strictly benefits them.  I, Ralts, and Calam are going to be watching this one very carefully.  I'm of the opinion that we need to deal with the Scimitars sooner rather than later.  I don't know if they're aware that we can track them, but we know for certain that they can track us.  And we know they're going to do so all the way to Atheneum.  And they're not going to let any obstacle stand in their way, I'm sure..."

He tightens a fist.

"...if we have a chance to stop them from finding Atheneum, I think we should take it."
