Well... His last venture had been quite the mixed bag. On one hand, Professor Braun had failed in his endeavor to find multiple prime speciments of Joyan ethinicity... But on the other hand, he couldn't really complain about the quality of the specimens he did get, even if he had to settle for only a single powerful Joyan. "I wonder if this country will give us more to work with...", mused the man, idly strolling across the myriad laid out mattresses where his initial candidates had been laid to rest and wait for the transition to take place. He had very high hopes for this country, after all... He knew that woman was of Caelese ethnicity, and if she could find just one more bewitching genius like herself in the woman's own homeland. The this whole trip would have already been worth it: "Now then, only a few minutes left...", Professor Braun checked his watch, looking towards his assistants who now took their places beside the various machines, nodding as they looked at him, ready to to activate the entire system that would upload the minds of this batch of subjects into their very own, uniquely crafted Machias bodies, "I wonder how many last minute candidates we'll have this time." Though Professor Braun appreciated punctuality... He also knew all too well from last time that most of the more promising candidates would arrivate at the very last minute. Saving the best for last no doubt? Thus, he had high expectations here, looking towards the doorway with a curious glint in his glasses as he adjusted them. Caelum was a land of a myriad mystics and mysteries of all shapes and sizes. Most of Ishgar's masters of the arcane had some connection to this country, as did several rare beings and races. No doubt, whatever surprises awaited him in this country would be worth his while. Event Conditions

Ikanbi walked through the streets of the city and made her way to the little laboratory where Professor Braun had set up shop. She walked in and was immediately dazzled and fascinated by the equipment she saw everywhere. Along the walls, on the tables, on the counter. It reminded her of one of the labs in the Collective Mind guild hall, the more she thought about it. Professor Braun might have been a great person to have in their guild, she considered for a moment.
She besseeched Professor Braun, "I am on a quest to purge the world of evil, but I am but a frail human. I was going to save up a mass of wealth and undergo this transformation at some point, but I imagine it will take me years to save up the jewels to do it on my own." She had said.
"But with your help, I can instead dedicate those resources to helping the people in another way, please, I beg of you, allow me to be one of your subjects."

Hmmm, the number of Caelese volunteers had been even lower than he'd expected. But he should have seen that coming when despite his effort of attracting Joyan candidates back in Joya, only one of his most valuable subjects actually met the criteria. Thankfully, a desertian woman soon showed up asking for the transformation: "Ah, welcome miss. Far be it from me to theorize on the vicissitudes of good and evil, but I can sympathize with your desire to abandon your mortal coils.", Professor Braun had dedicated his entire life to science, and as such, he seldom gave much thought to ridding the world of evil. In a sense, it could be said that mortail frailty was the evil he sought to vanquish, but he seldom thought of it that way. Still, he smiled at the woman's correct choice as he mentioned towards, the nearest empty spot, "Lay down at the nearest bed, my assistant will be with you shortly." Well... This had been quite a disappointing trip. He'd barely even managed to fill his target of willing Caelese volunteers. Why would that be? Perhaps the people of this land had no interest in cybernetic conversion? No, if the woman who visited him last time was anything to go by: "Alright then everyone. I thank you kindly for participating in this procedure. Rest assured, we'll take good care of your bodies throughout the duration of this experiment." The answer was actually quite simple, he thought. Caelum was known to have a far greater proportion of non humans than any other country of Earthland. And his procedure still failed at converting supernatural beings the likes of which abounded in this lands. Still, this experience had provided him with valuable data. Maybe soon he'd be able to use this same procedure on such beings? Only time would tell. Event Information
