Psi Sector

"Quickly enough, you hear the unmistakable sound of an augmented plasmatic sword blade slicing through some insolent motherfuckers."

- The Aeonic Oracle

The Psi Sector of Facet Nine was the third sector visited and plundered of Void Shards by Azure Lapis and Cyan Amaranthine. Within, the two met Topaz for the first time, and encountered the twisted Aft'mathai the Horrible.

Story
After scanning and arriving in the Psi Sector, Azure and Cyan locked the G.S.S. Exsanguinator into the first orbital floating structure of the Psi Sector, of which there were three. Though accidentally damaging the secondary engine with a somewhat poor landing, the pair made their way into the megastructure. Traversing its halls, Cyan and Azure were met with a Cerulean Horror. The fight itself was ultimately rather grisly. Heading into a trapped elevator, Cyan exited into the floor below with Azure's gem in-hand.

After Azure's regeneration, the two entered a room sliced in half by an abyss into nothing, and guarded by over a dozen Witch-Doctors. Following a rough fight, the two deactivated security and most of the doors in the station from the surveillance station, and removed a locked storage cube from the station, returning to the ship. They left an inoperable door marked with a hand bearing three navy hashes behind, and traveled to the next of the megastructures.

On the flight to the next orbital station, Azure successfully managed to pull Cyan's ankle back into its socket, a displacement from the combat with the Cerulean Horror. Upon reaching the second structure, the two found a number of access cubes around a key terminal, each face a possible gate into the next chamber. After much deliberation, they unsealed the door with the terminal.

The room beyond contained nothing, save for a pillar of liquid magetear defying gravity ominously, and a puzzle utilizing the reflection of light. Whilst completing the puzzle, a Bloodletter emerged from the walls, which was quickly slain. In completing the puzzle, a hatch within the magetear pillar opened up, and the Venator quickly leapt forth within, slaying all of the Witch-Doctors in the thing. Obtaining a Sanguine Keystone upon the Venator's departure, Azure and Cyan returned to the ship, flying to the third, and final, megastructure.

On the flight, Azure accepted a video chat with her ally Delta, whom had previously aided her in the voyage to the Mu Sector. Immediately, Delta recognized that Cyan had likely come from the Mu Sector, and moved to report her to his superiors in the Kristalli Imperium. Azure managed to talk him into not doing so long enough for Cyan to accidentally electrocute him into unconsciousness, discovering her electrokinesis in the process.

Arriving at the final megastructure, the two entered the place, after Azure had calmed Cyan down after her possible murder of Delta. Upon doing so, they engaged in a horrific and bloody combat with the Plague Master, otherwise well-known as the twisted Aft'mathai the Horrible. After pushing him back into the final room of the chamber, discovering his serial murder of gems for experiments in the process, Azure and Cyan barely managed to free the topaz gem from Aft'mathai's prison, and destroy his physical body. In response, he vacated his corpse, and emitted a ghost of ashes into the now-cracked gem.

The two activated another Vardiveig Stone, collected another Void Shard, and obtained an Amalgam Interface from the locked storage cube, heading back to the first megastructure to open the inoperable door of three hashes. Whilst doing so, they hacked into Delta's webcam, noting lime and orchid light was pouring from his eyes. Utilizing the three-hash door, the duo made their way through a portal to the Tau Sector, selling and buying a number of items, before returning to their ship, and plotting a course to the Nu Sector.
