Nu Sector

The **Nu Sector** of Facet Nine was the fourth sector plundered by Azure Lapis and Cyan Amaranthine for Void Shards. It marked the first fusion of *Abyssal Oddity*, and the first time Topaz spoke.

## Story

Upon landing on the edge of the jungled central island of the Nu Sector, Azure and Cyan descended into the nearest set of stairs, taking all valuables they could find, and slaying militant goblins in the process. After once more encountering the Venator, the topaz gemstone from the Psi Sector regenerated extremely messily. The two immediately took the gem, whom they christened Topaz, back to the ship with Strangelove on board, after she hacked up some ashen blood, and revealed she could recall nothing.

Returning to the crypts below the jungle, the two found a ritual procession of goblins carrying the corpses of wolfish beings with the very same sinister ashen look as Topaz herself. After a lengthy fight, the ritual procession saved Azure and Cyan from another mass of hostile goblins. Following the path of the procession, the pair located an abandoned underground city block, filled with evidence of a commonplace ashen plague, including a live form of the wolfish entities slain by the goblins earlier. Upon slaying it, Azure and Cyan returned to the *G.S.S. Exsanguinator*, finding that Topaz had just suffered some form of seizure. After being there for her, Azure and Cyan returned to the underground city, finding that the ritual procession was incinerating the wolf-corpses en masse. After further searching the city, and exiting, the two were left on the surface of the forest once more.

On the surface, Azure and Cyan encountered a horde of aggressive goblins, whom they defeated through building-mounted railguns, and fusion. After deactivating the main barrier to progress further into the jungle, the two once more returned to their ship, finding a tear-stricken Topaz, and that Strangelove had in fact been hacked by an unknown force. Flying to the center of the landmass, they fought an arduous battle with the dread king of the island guarding the next Void Shard, encountering a corrupted fluorite gem, and the ability to bubble objects in the process. Following this, the party proceeded to head to the Lambda Sector, rumored to contain a cure to any sort of plague, let alone Topaz's.

* Forest Knight: 15 HP x14. NOTES: An emaciated husk of a goblin holding up a long-range plasma rifle in one hand.
* Ashen Horror: 15 HP. NOTES: Beasts, succumbed to the ashen plague of Aft'mathai. It sickens you to think these were once living beings with conscious goblin thoughts.

Wields a plasma-edged greatsword of some description in one muscled hand, and a lantern containing a glowing cut cracked fluorite gem in the other. Has a holstered pistol of note in their belt.
* Moss Rogue: 13 HP x4. NOTES: A short, thin goblin of some sort masked in moss and hide, wielding a plasma javelin. They seem to fade into the shadows when you aren't looking.
* Fluorite: 25 HP. NOTES: A corrupted fluorite gem. Takes the form of a muscled wolf coated in tussled light green fur. Howls out occasionally, as if in severe pain from nowhere.
