The local RT Railway Services station in New Technia. You can transfer without leaving the station to the hyper-modern Rapid Rail Transit System to get to your desired location.
The building is one of the oldest in New Technia, its architecture harking back to Victorian times. It, being one of New Technia's most important transportation infrastructure, is situated on the Millenium Riverway, a straight stretch of pristine river along which are built the Rail Station, the Millenium Arch and the Millenium Sail - the most valuable real estate in the whole of New Technia.

Kamin touched down slightly outside of the station.
"Aha, here we are~"
She let go of Yuki's hand, and surveyed her surroundings.
In the centre of the train station was a giant square arch, with a large boardwalk that extended all the way to a distant building shaped like a giant sail pointing into the sky. A series of skytracks extended out of the station, and converged on a large metal ball near the building. Lush greenery and a sparkling river flowed through the centre of the boardwalk, perfectly straight as it vanished into the distance.
A large building lay slightly off from 1 o' clock at least five kilometres away, vanishing into the sky.
"Wow..." Kamin was overwhelmed. That was the best word to describe it.

"Well, that wasn't too bad, all things considered. Didn't puke, for one thing. Thanks for the ride."
Yuki scanned the area as best as he could, trying to find a place where he could further his search for the world destroying bomb. He had been told that New Technia was technologically the most advanced area in all of the Round Table, and that meant that if he was to run a scan on the dust, this was exactly where he should go.
The issue was where the hell was the shop that offered such services. It was probably a weapons shop, but that little bit of knowledge was not quite as useful as an actual map or something of the sort.
"I take it from your reaction that you've never been here before? Well, let's start looking for the weapons shop together then."
Adjusting Sierra's position once more, (she had almost fallen off twice on the trip,) Yuki started walking towards the massive building in the distance. Everything important was probably there.

((OoC: Zomg, abuser. XD))
A click in Sierra's mind caused her to stir from her rest. She could no longer sense the familiar moisture of Orlania. It was not Nasul either. She had arrived in a new area. Unfamiliar spirits wandered... but in terms of number, there were not many. It bothered her that she could not sense that many life forms--as if their homes had been taken away.
Her eyes flickered, and she realized that she was curved over in a strange position. Odd. She could not feel it at all. Rather, she felt as if she were floating.
Sierra's fingers brushed against the obsidian armor that she was resting on.
"Kurogane Yuki? Thank you for taking care of my vess... of me," She said unsteadily, grasping the situation immediately. The spirits of Orlania had left a lot of messages in her mental mailbox.
"My state has improved now."
Her mind was clear, much more so than when she had been in Orlania or Nasul, but she did not realize that it was due to spiritual influence.. or lack thereof.

I guess I'm somewhat lagging behind; or am I?
Tsubasa glanced around to see that they were still in the vicinity. Again, she failed to make her presence noticed.
Oh well; stalker for a day. It's pretty here, just that the monochrome is pitched up several notes here.
Tsubasa let her subconscious mind wander and converse while outwardly she kept silent

Constantine landed. He returned his chakram to his back. Luckily, nothing had intercepted him.
He gazed in awe at the city. A technological marvel, it certainly was. He had never seen so much beauty in one place. Still, he couldn't let his guard down. If someone knew that they were here to ask after the world-ending bomb, they might just try to stop them.
"Ai, summon something tough with a melee attack."
"Attack Drone."
A large metal creature appeared. It looked like a grotesque combination of beetle and spider. It had a large, spiked carapace
and its arms were large, thick shields with claws on the end.
"Nice. Do you have any other programmes?"
"Yes, sir. Sentry Guns and Sentry Drones. If I can just study enemies in combat, I might be able to develop new programmes in future."
Constantine ordered the Attack Drone to fall in behind him. He didn't want anybody to get the wrong idea.

"Oh, you woke up. Sorry I ended up bringing you all the way to New Technia without your consent."
Turning his attention to the now fully awake Sierra, Yuki could not help but pick out many a strange thing in what she said, but decided to let them go for now. It was, for the most part, not his business to press into other people's businesses. Exceptions were when there were world ending bombs to be retrieved, in which case it was the natural job of a hero to do it, lest it fall into the wrong hands. Although the use of a world ending bomb was fairly questionable, unless an invasion by the Culture or something like that was expected in the near future.
Letting the female down, he released the spell that he had used to reduce the effects of gravity upon her, which, theoretically would gradually return her weight to normal in a few seconds. Of course, he could also dispel the magic instantly, but there were dangers associated with that, like the sudden stress of the new weight causing whoever was on the receiving end of the spell to collapse or worse.

"Please, do not worry about that." Sierra answered Yuki with a wave of her arm, which suddenly started to feel heavy. She let it fall quickly and moved water around her body to keep it standing.
"I suppose I would have ended up here anyway. It is, after all, my duty to help those in need," The Undine continued, sensing the presence of other familiar individuals.
Though few in number, Sierra could still tap into the spirits' magic stream and see what they transmitted to her. In this environment, however, they could not speak to her--they were not strong enough for that.
The spirits do not dwell on Earth that does not respond to their songs.[/b] She thought to herself, the thought troubling her immensely.
((Spiritual Summoning & Manipulation abilities decreased, at least in areas that in very very industrialized. I'm not sure of the map, though.))

Sierra probably did notice me. Let's stay anchored on this spot till they set off.
Tsubasa continued to observe while waiting for the group to set off first.

Suddenly, the Attack Drone collapsed.
"Warning. Forced information dump has occurred."
"Stupid Guardians. Oh well, at least I'm not under attack or anything."
Constantine suddenly noticed weird magnetic fields coming from behind the main group. Somebody with power was hiding somewhere.
"Alright, who's there? Come on out where we can see you."

"Ha, alright, you got me."
A slight laugh floated out softly from behind a small garden of ferns. A small-built man came out from behind it.
"I'm just a passerby, and you guys suddenly appearing out of the sky and meeting each other right in front of the station, it feels like something's going on. So I hid myself and watched to see if you were going to do something."
He turned and walked.
"Don't mind me, I'm leaving."

"Whatever. Don't creep me out like that, sneaking around."
Constantine shivered, not knowing why. It was as if someone had walked over his grave.
"Anyway, we'd better be heading off to look for some information on the dust. I lost most of my powers when Valentine stole my energy. I can't analyse it here. We should find someone who can. Maybe that large, tall building might have someone who can analyse it."

Sierra turned around, rightly expecting Constantine behind her, where the spirits had told her he would be. A black and white magic stream tickled the edges of her magical awareness, with the intention of trailing the main group. Probably Tsubasa, but Sierra couldn't be too sure, since the spirits were unable to transmit anything more than blobs of color and waves of emotions.
"Why... why don't we go to that tall building then?" Sierra suggested. "I am not familiar with this area, but it seems like there might be a lot of people over there we can ask for help."
((OoC: Why does no one post...))

It's always good to be one step behind.
Tsubasa clung to the remaining her remaining awareness that was sifting away while trying to make sense of the random observer.
We shall stay here and wait, shan't we? heehee.

"Let's go, let's go~"
Kamin started off first, whistling as she strolled down the incredible length of brick that laid a path perfectly straight all the way to the building in the distance.
"A bit of a walk now and then's good for you~"

"... Yeah, let's go."
Yuki followed after the two girls, catching up to them rather quickly. He was equipped with certain abilities that made him physically superior to those that were otherwise stronger than him after all, and that was without using gravity to turn the tides in his favour.
The path they walked was made of bricks, and they were on a quest to find a witch's weapon. On this route, it was hoped that he could find the way to become a hero. Courage, heart, brain, and most of all, strength. For that they would have to find a man with the ability to decipher the message kept in the dust, and it was once said that sufficiently advanced technology was indistinguishable from magic after all.
"I think we need some emeralds to complete the picture..." Yuki murmured to nobody in particular.

"Let's see, New Techia, wonder where I should go now.."
Sol decided to wander around a bit.

"...Arrived."
Samara walked out of the station, wandering around aimlessly, wondering where to go.
She saw the huge, shiny building shaped like a sail, and walked towards it, all the while noticing that the place seemed to be even more high-tech than Tokyo.
"...Cool."
