EPISODE 3: Shall We Dance? A Starlit Step in 3/4 Time!
June 8 - June 14
TIMELINE
6/8-6/12 Dowsing Machines+
6/8-6/14 Library: Shelving Project
6/10 Signal Boost
6/10 Escape: Pandora & Glimmer
6/11 Investigate: Flash Mobs
6/13 Capture: The Dancer

Nautis upgraded everyone's dowsing machines to track Constellation activity, although to mixed results so far. The Nova Knights made a lot of progress on the Library reshelving project, though, so three cheers for literacy!

On the 10th, Kalim and Natalia help Nautis send a signal through the Abyss, and while it takes everything they've got, it succeeds: thanks to the falling star pointing them home, Maya and Hope successfully escape the Abyss that night. They finally reunite with the other Nova Knights, and meet the two newly awakened Knights, the upbeat go-getter Nova Valorous and the somewhat contentious Nova Pastos.

Hope and Maya also have critical information to share on their return: they know for a fact that the art teacher Shelley Lustre is Prince Shellustria himself. They'll have to figure out what exactly to do with that information since they can't risk jeopardizing their own secret identities, but it's an important first step to learning more about the Harbingers.

On the the 11th, Cynthia and Jamil make contact with the loose Constellation via one of the many flash mobs in a park and get caught up in an ensemble show tunes-style number, confirming it is the Dancer. Thanks to their ability to absolutely Get Down, they learn exactly what they need in order to tame the Dancer and capture it so that they can return it to the Star Map.

Mutsumi and Dirk encounter the Dancer themselves on the 13th, and using what Jamil and Cynthia learned from their own encounter with the Constellation, they're able to successfully capture the Dancer after letting it play out its impulse. This takes the form of a simple waltz, for which music seems to simply manifest around them. Once one of them is fully in sync with the Dancer, the other Knight successfully captures it β€” and the confused crowd around them kind of just wanders off with only a vague impression of what just happened.

So not only did the Nova Knights save Niangniang last month, they've also succeeded in preventing a Constellation from falling into enemy hands and reuniting with two of their captive comrades. And they're just a little bit closer to a way to defeat the Abyss. Things are starting to look up for the Nova Knights.

The Nova Knights have also gained access to the Aquarium in the hideout, a spacious room mostly surrounded by a massive water tank, including from above. It's clear this was a place of importance on the ship, based on the small signs of ancient wear and tear, but at the moment the Aquarium's waters are empty of any fish. Perhaps that's to be expected when it's been buried underground for centuries.

The full mission results can be found here.

in the hideout
Maomao is not happy about having awakened to her special destiny. In fact, she's pretty annoyed about it. She doesn't want anything to do with having to save the world, she just wants to live her life, but apparently that's not an option because that ancient piece of cyberjunk won't let her leave the Nova Knights group chat. At least she doesn't have to do any actual fighting. On the other hand, there is little dignity afforded to her by being the team mascot.

Her tune changed, however, when she first foundΒ out about the ancient seed collection. All the magic stuff is a hard pillow to swallow, except apparently when it comes to ancient flora from a dead planet. Now this is the only reason she regularly comes to the hideout: to fuck around with the garden in the Library and grow heretofore unknown plants so she can test them all on herself. You might even hear some unsettling laughter from the Library while she contemplates the possibilities.

Maomao is aware that hanging out in the hideout in human form breaks whatever magic protection they all have on their identities, and she doesn't love it, but it's so much better than the alternative of just being a cat all the time. People keep wanting to pick her up and feed her stuff and you couldn't pay her to voluntarily transform even one more time. And if anyone calls her Niangniang to her face, they'll get only a death glare in return.

elsewhere
Maomao can also be found at Everwave Academy during school hours, the Golden Butterfly and Verdigris House most evenings, and her father's pharmacy on some afternoons and weekends.
