Ok, just to set the scene and provide some structure, give an initial post with a brief synopsis of your reactions and activities as this 3 month process went down, and then give your current course of action. I want people to come together and try to interact somewhat, but how you go about that is up to you. I hope to get some faster paced back-and-forth dialogue going here, some dramatic interaction that we haven't seen for a while. Who are these characters, how does this hit them, and how do they react to the situation and, most importantly, how do they react to EACH OTHER?

Might as well provide a jumping off point for interaction. Jump in if you wish to, anyone that's been previously involved on the investigation end of things.
The red plot being your quantum signal prior to meditation and the blue plot being the same signal afterwards. Much like a comb filter really, and it's retarding the progress of your disease by a similar function. The infection in your node increases resistance to quantum flow so a greater signal amplitude is required to have the same effect as before. The constructive interference provided by your meditation techniques produces such an amplitude increase. It is a simple matter to construct a device that duplicates this effect for the base case of only a single quantum channel. Given the sheer number of channels in any particular node, though, considerable effort and time will have to be expended on miniaturization and microsurgery before any usable device can be produced. As far as inducing an enhanced effect through meditation or teaching meditation techniques is concerned, I'm afraid I have no expertise in the matter. Further scans will show if you are making any progress, but you'll need a guru, not KHI, if you wish to proceed in this direction.

You are in control from here. Anyone not interacting right now will be assumed to be caught in their own little behavior loop until the jump into the scene. You can interact with each other, or the nebulous other characters that have yet to fully resolve themselves. This place, and even how you present yourselves, is governed in part by your perceptions and thoughts. Your characters aren't going to fully realize this (kind of like in a dream) but you as players should be aware and write accordingly. Feel free to take control and change some things about yourself, or even the setting. You can investigate the area if you like, you can wait for the show... this is a chance to jump back in the water and have a little creative fun before we tackle the other dangling plot threads. It won't last very long either, so don't worry that we won't get back to what we were doing... Just enjoy for a bit and react to the situation at hand.

Long post is long, but hopefully in a style that encourages further exploration and interaction, rather than just telling you "what happens next" as many of my longer posts have been.
Feel free to incorporate the above info into your discussion, or to look around the room and explore further. Or leave. Or do whatever. This is your small sandbox to play with. I want to try out the suggestion Kraken had regarding setting the scene and letting you guys move it forward.
Some ooc notes on the scene: character's thoughts do influence the scenery, but subtly. You don't lucid dream a new door into existence in front of everyone, but the quest for another door would likely turn up one, for example. Feel free to include your own hints at the future and past... even ones that aren't in the books. Sol for example has seen some dark futures in vignettes, so she might find some frightening reminders of those visions of her other self.

I think I've got a lethal soak of 11 inside the carapace with Sizemorph turned on, so I think I can take what Comstock can dish out. Worse case scenario (since I'm also going to turn on Density Decrease which will make me take 0 damage from physical attacks) he'll just rupture the carapace and squirt me out into the corridor in gaseous form. So swing for the fences. Get a lever if you can.

OOC: Beautiful thing about Comstock's powers, by the book at least, is that even with the penalties, he can just throw all of his quantum into that one power and get his strength back.

But for now, we'll stick with Megastrength 5, not 6. Don't want to overdo it and leave KrakenGoo everywhere. Gods only know what that will do to the planet. Soon the whole planet is KrakenGoo.

And Crimson Dawn's a big boy, he might be able to hold his own in that wrestling match.
Also, if it matters, Comstock didn't burn quantum on the molecular manipulation to bind up Suzukaze. He just twisted up some metal like Superman would. So if Sue wants to do more than have a stirring and threatening conversation with Director Ozaki she could probably show up.

Zeus rolls 3 whole successes to hit Operator and Flare in an aoe blast attack. Dodge and react.
CD got exactly 1 success higher than Comstock and is now in control of the grapple.
Freak is rolling to possess. Kraken, roll will, beat 3 successes. The dice roller hates me tonight, and this is a good thing.
Imp, roll Int+medicine, or barring that Int+Science at a +1 diff. Remember that your mega-int is... -2 I think we said, and you have to node recharge to get any quantum as it drains out (thus why you fell down in flight). The node recharge isn't that big a deal, but chars that use it much will face more taint and such. Like Phantasm, for the multiple powers uses, and probably 'Stock. Not sure if anyone else has used much... anyway, play on all, this is fun :)

OK first off, DON'T LOOK UP THAT SONG. I heard it once back in 2002 in a highway safety ad on a Deutsche Welle satellite broadcast and I can still remember all the words. SO. DAMN. CATCHY. Maybe not as catchy as The Meth Song, but close. Secondly, I've got a total of 3 Willpower so the stated roll isn't happening. Total of 0 successes. I'll spend a Willpower if I can to get 1 success. Thirdly, hopefully getting dominated won't be too much of a handicap because (1) I can't stop burnin', (2) burnin' deals agg damage, and (3) Gale can probably fastball special me around.

Gale's cloud of Kraken is burning CD... He has some fire resistance, but I've assumed Kraken is more a cloud of chemical hate than just "fire"... Kraken, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Comstock, I went ahead and rolled for you to take control of the grapple while CD is at penalty, and you won. Pick his poison.
Sol hit, dealing a fair amount of damage to Zeus. Operator and Flare, your Eufiber and Sol's Absorption combine to save you from death from electricity overdose, but you still take 5L each after soak.
Dragon and Phantasm, I've just been stacking penalties on Logan since he's too tough to hurt easily. You can continue down that route, or try to actually punch through and deal some damage through inventive stunting, your choice. Phantasm, take 3B after soak.
Kraken, Freak is using your powers, albeit badly. You can try to reassert control while she's distracted, though it's of course long odds.

I guess I'll handle this as a quantum bolt attack on Zeus. Only 3 successes on the attack (on 3 dice though), but 13 lethal damage before soak if it connects. I could probably start fixing things this turn with molecular manipulation as well if you want to do something besides holding the door, Dragon.

If I recall correctly eufiber can be poisoned. That seems the most direct way of dealing with the lump o' goo that's causing agg damage. Horning in on my schtick that goo is. Can't have that. At the same time Hell Kraken is a Hunter S. Thompson's Suitcase -esque collection of pharmacological wonders, so something can probably be done to get Phantasm back on her feet too. 10 successes on the Poison roll, 6 successes on the Medicine roll. Let's call it the Snowflame Treatment.

Phantasm rolled 5 successes using 6d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 ((10,8,1,1,2,8)). Ha, my remaining mega die came through for me. Weave roll to drop off some of the poisoned suit before the infection spreads. Still probably not enough to stop it entirely though.
I figure it will require some significant (off screen) repair before it is usable, but hopefully that will save the eufiber colonies from permanent death. Maybe the new one will even like me better as I nurse it back to health :)
Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
The suits are out of commission for a while, will require some care in a lab, and will be quirky when up and running again, though Phantasm will still be able to buy up eufiber if desired. Some of the mostly lifeless eufiber is slowly looking for better sources of quantum, and will crawl toward those with the highest quantum pools. Minus Kraken, they hate him. On another note, what would happen if he injected that poison into an infected nova's node?

I went ahead and made another roll for Imp to coerce Buendia, it was a good roll. And I took the liberty of fast forwarding through conversation with him, as I figured no one would be heart broken over skipping his angry dialogue.
I didn't reply to the hallway scene, since people were resolving some inter-character issues on their own.
Oh, and I will announce this elsewhere, but everyone gain 1 permanent taint for this whole experience. The combination of node recharges, pattern corruption, and general trauma all contribute to this. It does not earn chrysalis unfortunately, but you might be able to leverage some from it later as you roll with the changes to your pattern and adapt to your experiences.

Imp's being persuasive and is liberally throwing around enhancements, nothing overtly mind rape-y, but he's doing his utmost to convince all present that his way forward is best for everybody because he really thinks his way is best.

OOC: So I got 2 successes to max quantum - not as much as I wanted. I dump them both into successes for the Gravity Field roll. I activate my auxiliary Tech Boost technique, which allows Gravity Field to alter gravity by 1g per success instead of .5g per success. (this whole process has thus costed me 5+3+1 quantum points, though 5 of that was last round). Also spend a WP. This gets me +8 gravities, which pushes us up to 9gs in a 30m radius. Per page 199 of the Aberrant Core book, living things affected by this power get a Willpower roll to resist - I'm not really sure if that is supposed to negate the effect all together or remove successes on a one-for-one or what. It doesn't say. Per page 174 of The New Flesh, all characters (that aren't me or people I selectively remove from the effect) in the field lose 2 dots from Strength and Dex and characters with less than Mega-Strength 2 (after removal) must make a Might roll at a +2 difficulty to act at all (M.Strength 1 removes the penalty from the roll, but Mega-Str does not apply to the roll). Characters in the field must make an Endurance roll every turn at a +2 difficulty or take an unsoakable level of bashing damage (though Adaptation negates this damage).
Only 4 successes on a Wits+Mega-Wits+Nothing roll to detect Geryon's plan. I cannot even realistically attempt the Manip version.

OOC: Buffing and holding action for a turn. Comstock now has less than a third of his quantum left. He's spent too much making repairs on Europa, and just now manifesting a type of force-field to make sure his soak was impossibly large. On the bright side, it's unlikely Geryon will win a simple punching match if it comes down to it. Mega-Strength 6 is back, and Soaks are at 70B/60L!
Which, by the way, gives me pause. My soaks were only a little lower a moment ago, and those guns still did 3L ... also, that's worth mentioning, I'm short by seven lethal right now. I have extra health levels and no wound penalties, so it's not really a thing, but the only time when Comstock was more messed up was after an Atomic bomb. His costume looks nice, but he's not mint-out-of-the-box anymore.
If anyone looks like they are going to die, on either side, Comstock would wade in to break people up. But Comstock's too slow, of foot and of mind, to really have an expectation or recognizing the moment between 'safe' and 'dead' at this level of quantum.
Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Imp's throwing what he's got left at this, since he couldn't cut loose back in New York he's doing so here. His speech has three purposes. One to give Gravitas the confidence to take Geryon down. Two, to make Geryon believe that Grav can clean his clock, thus making the outcome a foregon conclusion. Three to make the anarchists stand down and seriously question the wisdom of continuing to cause trouble. Halo makes everybody involved feel that Imp is doing all this for the right reasons.

So 8 agg from Disintegration vs. a target that doesn't look like he's got Hardbody or a bunch of extra health levels. Hope I didn't over-juice things and leave the punk just a smoking pair of shoes. Oh well. Don't have the quantum to have a prolonged disagreement without rest.

Gravitas rolled 4 successes using 10d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 6,8,3,7,10,7,1,3,1,4. Dex+Warp, 2mega.
Determining range is still done with a perception-based roll though (with Quantum autosux), so here's that:
Gravitas rolled 2 successes using 11d10 with the Target Number system with a target of 7 with rolls of 4,5,3,10,3,5,3,5,1,7,1. Per+Warp, 3Mega.
One of the Mega-Dice (last 3) is a success, so this is 3 successes, a willpower pumps it up to 4, which is enough to reach the Sun.
The aperture of the portal will not technically equalize pressure (because rules!) but you can see through it. This is probably horrifyingly bright to pretty much everyone, and possibly irradiates part of the area - unless the same effect that protects us from multiple kilotons of solar plasma leaking through the gate also prevents the incredible radiation wash that comes with being anywhere near the Sun.
