EPISODE 300; THE RUPTURING; THE HOUSE OF SOARING LION TURTLES PART IV; OCEAN BARRIERS
Jeannette and Saito met with Marina and Ariel in the Recon Facilities. They shared with one another the knowledge they had gathered so far.
"Amazing! If your Blaze can restore the Phoenix Tears' purifying abilities, then we just need to purify the Ocean Waters within our immediate vicinity. That should integrate the new cure into the Phoenix Tears, then if we release that into the Ocean and extend the Zone Of Recovery, we can gradually restore the Oceans to normal" Saito said.
"If we are going to do that, then we'll need to create some Ocean Barriers to keep out the polluted Water, the Antagonistic Species and the Weaver Of Calamity's Scouts. This means we'll need to map out this Peristylium's Breadth" Ariel said.
"That has already been done…I mean the mapping part" Jeannette said.
"Explain" Saito asked.
"During the construction of the Islands, our ancestors integrated Sensors into both the Structure Of The Islands as well as the tethers, specifically, around the perimeter of the Islands and the tethers. These Sensors utilize Constructive Wavelength Interference, that maps out frequencies radiated by the Islands' molecular structure, when the elements that compose the Islands oscillate at exactly the same frequency to produce a visual representation of the Islands' masses. This allows us to control the tethering mechanism of the Islands as well as to navigate the various Islands and move them through the Oceans as a single unit or to untether the Islands and move them as Individual Units when the need calls for it. You can consider the Cartographic Abilities Of The Islands' Internal Systems as due to a Mechanical Nervous System of sorts flowing throughout the Islands' entire Structure. When the Islands are tethered to one another and left to float in the Oceans in Stationary Form, they keep an even distance from one another and are set to oscillate at the same frequency so that the sonic frequencies generated by the Elements within the Islands don't interfere with one another. It's a bit tough to explain with words alone. The long and short of it is that we can map out both the internal structure of the Islands as well as their external environment to a degree" Jeannette explained.
"Then Ariel, you know what we need to do right?" Saito asked.
"Yeah, it's been a while since we've utilized our powers as Dreamweavers" Ariel said.
"What do you mean?" Marina asked.
"You'll see" Saito and Ariel said as they focused their minds.
Marina and Jeannette felt slight tremors pulsing through the Island they were in. They checked the Structural Mass Of The Islands and noticed a Golden Energy flowing through the Island's Elemental Oscillations. The Energy flowed through the tethers linking the Islands till it covered the perimeter of the interlinked Islands. At that point it fused with the Sonic Frequencies generated by the Ocean Maps and extended outwards a few kilometers forming an Energy Barrier that was invisible in the Oceans but appeared as a Golden Energy within the Maps.
"Amazing! You just created a Forcefield that isolates this environment from the rest of the Ocean" Marina noted.
"Yeah, we integrated new capabilities into the Islands' Structures and the Ocean Maps that transform the Sonic Frequencies generated by the Islands into a Forcefield integrated with Ariel's Blaze Abilities. That should ward off the polluted Ocean Waters, Antagonistic Species and the Weaver Of Calamity's Scouts. The Barrier is an omnidirectional floating orb of energy that surrounds all the Islands and their facilities. It's streamlined to minimize the crushing pressure of the Oceans and doesn't need to be tethered to any structure apart from the Islands themselves. In other words…the Barrier can follow the Islands wherever they go" Saito explained.
"Let's take a look at how the Barrier affects the surrounding Ocean shall we?" Ariel asked.
Jeannette and Marina activated the Recon Facility's Ocean Maps and saw that the Barrier had sent the Antagonistic Species within the Barrier into remission, in other words, the antagonistic species that fell within the Barrier were rendered dormant. The Antagonistic Species had already commenced their evolution into Benevolent Species. Also, the Oxygen Levels within the Barrier was being restored to optimum levels and the Phoenix Tears' purifying ability was becoming stronger. This created a chain effect that extended through the rest of the Phoenix Tears in the Ocean gradually restoring the Oceans to normal.
The Weaver Of Calamity's Sea Serpent Scouts noticed that the Ocean was beginning to become hostile to them and knew that they had limited time to flee the Oceans before they were vanquished.
Zanfar watched this play out with wry amusement though he was blinded to the activities of Saito and Ariel.
"I can't say I'm surprised. The Technological Capabilities Of The Soaring Lion House is indeed formidable but could not resolve this issue on its own. The Daughters Of The Dreamweaver, my mortal adversary, must have been aware of this and instead resorted to their Dreamweaving Abilities. With this they've pushed my Scouts out of the Oceans but cannot attempt surfacing yet. While they now have dominion over the Oceans, I still rule the Earth and the Skies. It appears we are currently at a stalemate…they rule the depths and I rule the heights…how interesting. I suppose the next step we will both be taking is to seek out the Mountain Of Olympus within this Region. The Dreamweavers and their Knights drove my forces out of the Mountain…it might be about time to begin planning to retake the Mountain and we'll start with the Mountain Of Olympus located within this Region" Zanfar said with a sinister smile.
