taxonomites | 三 [Visual] Hallowed is the path...

The visual comes on, sent to as many people as possible, and Inara's looking a bit...different-ey. Her hair is swept up into a refined, almost regal style and her expression is far harder than usual. Something in her eyes suggests that she is both very focused and very displeased about something, but when she speaks it's with a smile.

A not at all reassuring smile that seems like a thin veneer over superior disdain.

"I am not familiar with my surroundings. I can only assume that I have been captured by the enemies of the true path of Origin. This will prove to have been a mistake." She ponders her tablet for a while, tilting her head with detached curiosity.

"In the meantime, I sense many new souls in this place, unfamiliar ones. I would like to extend the opportunity to them to come to the power and the glory of Origin. The power and the greatness of the Ori cannot be denied, and those who accept the one truth of Origin into their lives and their hearts will be richly rewarded with that truth. Blessed are those who walk in unison, and hallowed are the Ori. Those who follow the path of righteousness shall be raised up high..."

Her expression hardens further, her lip curling briefly. "And those who reject the path to enlightenment must be destroyed."

[OOC: Glitch start! For the next two weeks Inara has been possessed by Adria from Stargate SG-1, a half-human, half-godlike-creature imbued with phenomenally powerful psychic powers like telekinesis, mind reading, mind control, summoning fire and magical healing. And she has an agenda. Also, she's Vala's daughter! More details here, and I hope this'll be a lot of fun. Questions, plans, anything, don't hesitate to ask! :D ]

"The only true religion. The only one that can offer its followers real power, real knowledge...access to becoming beings of untold power and limitless knowledge."

She tilts her head the other way, calculating and watching the screen in a very focused manner. "Billy. I'd like to speak to you in person if I could, Billy. I could show you what I can do. I can show you Origin has to offer you..."

[Okay, that's enough to convince Billy. Untold power and limitless knowledge? Especially the latter? That could help with fixing the world.]

... Okay. Uhm, let me come find you. Are you on the map?

"The map..."

She looks at her tablet and pokes it with irritation on seeing that the label of this Inara Serra person is all over everything in the interface, as well as the most central location tag. She moves to the other side of the shuttle and rolls her eyes when she notices that the blip on the map moves accordingly.

"I am apparently labeled as being this Inara person on the map...and I'm not entirely certain where I am." She starts to look around for a way out of the shuttle, finding a heavy hatch. The round handle spins and the door opens forcefully all on its own on a stern look from her, and she proceeds out into the cargo bay of Serenity.

"I appear to be in a ship of some sort. I'll continue to try and find a way off of it."

Alright, Billy can roll with that. He's got a good handle on the tablets, having tinkered with it, and so it doesn't take long for him to locate her dot on the map and chase after it, quickly throwing on his lab goggles and coat. As he does, he definitely feels better about things, definitely feels like this is the right thing to do.

Once he gets to close to where the dot is on the map, he's not sure where he is. So he glances down at his tablet and taps at it.

"Uh, miss. Origin lady. Are you still there?"

Despite the ever-growing amount of chaos around her, she smiles pleasantly at the tablet in her hand when Billy's image comes through again. "Billy," she says, tilting her head. She's also holding up her hand in something that might be a staying gesture, or might be her attempting to choke the life out of someone. "I'm still here. Do you happen to have any weapons with you at the moment?"

Not that that's an ominous request or anything.

Of course, Billy stops dead so he can listen. He's not about to piss her off, not a chance. Shifting uncomfortably, he shakes his head.

"No, not with me. I mean, I have weapons, they're just. Not here."

"Hm...well, it doesn't matter. I can bestow power on you, once this situation is dealt with," she says, glancing around. "I'm in a transportation vessel currently...It's rather shoddy, but it will have to do until something more appropriate can be located. I will see about finding a way to bring you on board. I don't know if something this primitive has anything like a teleportation device."

Clearly she doesn't realize that the spacecraft is currently sitting on the ground.

"Hey! I can-- I can build them, too, you know. Weapons, I mean," Billy protests, and then he's looking at her spacecraft, because her dot is in there. Oh. Well, maybe if he goes and bangs on the side of it she'll come out? So he does.

"Uh, Miss Origin Lady, I think you're on the ground in this thing. Can you get out?"

There was a mechanical hum and the hiss of pressurized hydrolics as the cargo bay doors to Serenity jolted, hesitated and then opened, revealing Adria standing and waiting in all her Adria-ness. She looked Billy over with a critical eye...he wasn't a soldier or a warrior by the look of it...she wasn't certain what he looked like with the very odd outfit he had on. But she sensed an underlying strength of will, deep enough that perhaps he wasn't even aware of it himself...

He would do.

"You must be Billy," she said with a smile that was - for all that it was on the face of a rather amoral and entirely too empowered half-godlike-entity who was little better than a tantruming, spoiled child at times - somewhat kindly and somewhat hopeful. He was going to be her Prior after all, and blessed were those who walked in unison on the path of Origin, something he actually wasn't fighting her on. It was a pleasant change.

"Here, come in. I'm attempting to take control of this vessel, but the crew is being resistant. Once things settle we'll have a nice long discussion, you and I. I have so much to share with you." Somehow, she managed for that to not sound ominous at all, despite the fact that it really should have.
