As Cass holds the cabinet and waits for his Plasm to run through the machine he looks over to Arden.
"Well, I may have had my lapses, but I have been known to pray, and I will now for that man. His name is Tyco. He's a big player in this whole thing. It's a very long story. He almost snapped my neck once. Was mad at him, wanted an apology, but I know now I was just being rude and he was in a bad place. I just want to help as best I can now. "
He looks to Arden again.
"I still might. That's the thing with Sin Eaters. We got some cool magic like stuff, but you honestly never know with plasm. Just have to have faith and try your damndest. I appreciate you though my friend."

Cassidy's repair attempt fails. Everything mechanical in this place is, in a sense, the 'body' of this intelligence. It rejects your attempts to manipulate it automatically. The signal lamp flashes to life again: Sorry stop cannot fix that way stop magic which made me prevents stop I no control it stop.

"Well, I guess it's time for the old fashioned way, " Crux began, and took her crowbar to the pins in the hinges delicately.
(21 on larceny)
The Tesseract remains under her arm, and cautiously, she ducks when she finishes her attempt at cupboard door removal.

"Well, damn. Looks like whatever magic is at work is stopping my plasm from working. You're up Crux..." A pause. "Figures. I get out of one place my powers won't work to end up in another where it means little."
Cass backs up. He looks visibly irritated.
"How frustrating."
He rubs the door, and pulls out a flashlight he flickers his light in morse code as he speaks. Just in case. He smiles not wanting to offend the machine. It's not it's fault after all.
"I know, it's not your fault. No anger toward you at all. It's just been a long day for me."
He puts the light away. He looks around the room at his friends. Crux is working, Cin he knows really doesn't care for him much, and Arden... Well he's not sure yet, but he knows he doesn't want to interrupt his studies. He goes over to Jude and leans on a wall next to her. He watches as she pets the heart. It reminds him of how he treats his Hockey Mask.
"How's the heart?"

Arden doesn't looks up while purusing the notes.
"Hey don't knock it too hard Cass. If it wasn't for you and your power we wouldn't even have this much communication with the room/person"

Arden: There are two collections of notes here; one in a precise, almost delicate hand, and the other in a much more hurried script. You can kind of follow the theories discussed by the precise handwriting - a lot of advanced planar and temporal mechanics, definitely above your proverbial pay grade. Moving over to the hurried writing is easier to follow, seeing as it's applied science. The physical device - the archway - is completed, but down where powering the device is covered, there's an awful lot of scratching out and revision. A Wits+Academics roll is required to examine the equations - there's definitely calculus in there, among other things - and see what went wrong.
Crux: It takes a little shimmying, but you get the hinges un-pinned and pop the cabinet door off. Inside is a small gramaphone, sans horn - looks like it had been disassembled for repairs and no one got around to putting it back together again. A lamp in a corner flips on and off a few times, drawing attention to the horn sitting on the floor out of the way. A simple Dex+Crafts roll can get the device reassembled.

Cass looks up from Jude to Arden.
"I supose that is one way of looking at it. Thank you, that actually makes me feel better sir."
Cass flashes a smile and a two fingered salute. He then returns his attention to their second mage.
"Sorry bout that... The heart doin ok? Also important, how are you? You've been a bit quiet."

Jude frowned in thought. "This is all mage...old ways.." she mumbled to herself, outloud. She was hoping to bring forth an idea.
She startled as Cassidy spoke to her and looked at him with wide eyes, still petting the heart absently. "She is quiet, but no signs of distress. " she replied. She smiled a bit to the sin eater. He got it.
It seemed like the lab was alive in a sense...but it was hard to discern it. Tech wasn't her thing. But it had opened drawers and showed things. "Do you thibk...if i reached out with my life magic...maybe?"

Having Johann barred from this leg of the journey made Cinnamon uneasy. Realizing this, it bothered her that it bothered her so much. Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself to all the magic and illusion (is that was this is?) happening around her.
In the Stationmaster's office, Cin watched everything with wide eyes. Mage magic was very unfamiliar territory, but the idea of not-living things seeming alive reminded her of the Hedge a bit. Cautiously, she approached the tear in reality. She reached out to touch it but thought better of it at the last moment and brought her hands close to her chest. Things tended to go bad when she touched things. What was it that mother's told there children? Look with your eyes, not your hands. [int+occult on examining things for anything useful = nat 20 so 26]

Cass blinked a bit. He found himself staring at her face a bit longer thannhe really should have. He felt warmth rush to his cheeks when she looked back at him.
Fuck... He had no idea he could still blush... Cass looked down and away as soon as he could. 'she sure is cute.' slipped into his mind... Where did that come from?
"Life magic?"
Her statment brought him out of his school boy daze.
"On the heart? I'm really sprry, but I'm a bit ignorant to some of the mage thing. What would you do? Try to communicate? Is that kinda dangerous with it being not part of our time space and all?"

(23 dex/crafts)
"Oh, neat. This doodad goes into the thingy! Look, Tessie and Karen..." Crux hummed as she worked to fix it.
Meanwhile, she smiled a bit as she listened to everyone work. Everybody was working together! Good! Maybe she wouldn't have to pick them off by making them nap to avoid conflict.

"Ug i hate calculus, damnit i was a history major... well this is where magic comes in to play"
Arden chants a little
(Gain Skill with chant 23) if there are no complications thats plus two to academics.
(Int academics + willpower 25)
Arden notices whats going on around him and smiles gently in amusement.
"So this is a space/time rift right? I just need to do some calculations here and then i'll have a look, space anomalies are kind of a hobby."
"Hey Jude, do you study the matter arcana too? This is a living physical object so maybe a combination would work?"

Jude shook her head, "On the lab itself...It doesn't seem to be actually alive really...but there is some sort of consciousness...so i don't think it'll hurt." It really was as good of a guess as any.
Her attention turned to Arden. "No. I don't have anything in the ways of Matter." She replied.

Arden frowned a moment.
"Um... Mind might work, ... Oh, Duh Arden, Spirit! Yeah things with out a body as we consider it but with a will are spirits!"

Jude gave Arden a droll stare. "Mind? I am a life mage. Not so good on mind." She looked thoughtful again though. "I do have some skill in Spirit...so...maybe?" She sounded rather unsure on that as well. "Again...it wouldn't hurt. I don't think."
