If you are not a member, then when your character arrives, you will be outside the front door and must roleplay getting entry, but bear in mind that whenever your character enters GLoG, alignment scanners will try to detect his/her current intention's alignment (so even the most evil of people might come off as good, if they think they are.

Some areas of the base are DNA locked and alignment locked so that only members with no evil intent can enter unescorted. These include the Security Room, the Armoury, the Detention Wing, and the Artifact Vault.

Artifact Vault - Set next to the Armory, this is where GLoG's major artifacts are stored. The door is DNA locked to members only.

The Brightheart
The Brightheart is a plain orb, set upon a stone plinth labeled 'The Brightheart'. Also on the plinth is a note that says:
'Do Not Remove. Ever. No, not even then. (But maybe then.)'
The Brightheart itself glows with inner light, and throws up a positive energy blanket of moderate strength (heals most surface wounds, and makes undead sick) a few meters in radius. Touching the Brightheart results in having a large amount of positive energy run through you (heals all wounds, and drives undead to near death). Inside the plinth itself is a gate to the Negative Energy realm, which draws off the excess positive energy from the Brightheart. Should the Brightheart be removed, and taken away from the base without the necessary preparations being made, two Very Bad Things^TM will happen.
A) The Brightheart's positive energy will not be siphoned off, and so it will be returned to full strength, throwing up a powerful positive energy blanket about a kilometer in radius, and killing anyone who touches it, living or no, through sheer positive energy overdose.
B) The gate to the Negative Energy realm will become unstable and tear, creating a giant Negative Energy rift in the middle of GLoG.

The GLoG portals:

Spoiler

Show

The portal between GLoG and HALO is still open, providing instantaneous transportation between the two organisations.
But anyone passing through it arrives outside the front door. If they've already been cleared (previously interacted with GLoG without hostilities), they can walk straight in without having to roleplay out knocking on the door and so on.
There is also a smaller portal operating between GLoG and Farthing Cottage

First time visitors, or people who have previously caused trouble have to wait for someone to undeadtime to decide whether they can enter the building (GLoG), or not, unfortunately. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

{Training Room}

Now to train you. I want you to run, in these heels.... Bianca pulls out a pair of two inch heels. 10 laps around the room. She holds them out to Katrina. They will fit.

Once Katrina takes them, Bianca turns toward Helen, keeping Katrina within sight. Good job Helen. It's always good to enjoy the practice. She smiles.

Katrina puts them on and says ...okay. because she's in to position to argue.
She runs the laps, but she's very bad at running, or even most physical activity. Let alone in heels.

Helen turns to Bianca and says Oh, hey. I'm just really happy today. And I like swordfighting and singing! she says.
So my sister's finally out? Running's torture for her. Nice job. she says smugly.

[celtois]

Alexis once again finds herself at the front doors of GLog. Looking at them as one would look at a old friend from a distance. One you didn't plan on talking to at least. Is it possible she's lamenting the past, quite likely in fact.

[KerfuffleMach2]

If Alexis knocks, Runner will answer the door. If not, well, then he won't.

[celtois]

Nope no knocking just general watching. As she watches a single tear rolls down her face, she dashes it away angrily. "That's all in the past now" She sighs "This is supposed to be a new start, a new life; why can't I just forget all this."

[Lex-Kat]

{Training Room}

It's not meant as torture. She's weak and lazy. She needs to be stronger if she's going to be as god as you are.

Bianca takes out two bokken. Let's practice. She tosses one to Helen.

{Great Room}

Krysta floats up behind Runner and tries to touch him.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Still, she'll see it as her punishment. she says, catching the bokken.

Okay. Practice-time.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Well, in that case, Runner decides to take a walk in the garden.

Runner gets poked. He turns around, then waves. Hello.

[Lex-Kat]

{Great Room}

Hi. Krysta looks at Runner curiously. How are you so big?

{Training Room}

Well, if she quits, that'll be unfortunate. She has potential.

As soon as Helen catches the bokken, ready or not, Bianca charges in and swings.

If she gets inside of Helen's defenses, she'll pull the hit so that it hurts, but it won't break anything.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner shrugs a little. I was simply born that way. There are many of my species that are bigger than me. And some that are smaller.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Katrina's slowed down and really tired...but she's still running jogging slowly.

Helen, with the wooden sword, blocks Bianca for a while, but she slips up and gets hit. Ow!
She then swings back, hoping to catch Bianca back when she's unable to block just after the attack.

[Lex-Kat]

{Training Room}

Bianca slips just out of Helen's attack. Good. You almost had me that time.

She feints to the left, then if Helen falls for the feint, slips in and tries to hit Helen in the ribs. Take a break Katrina!! She yells as she attacks.

{Great Room}

No way!! Krysta says, fluttering face to face with Runner. My name is Krysta, by the way. My mother is Queen Lexington IV of Neirian.

Are there any female... um.. robots?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner nods. Yes. And you can call us Transformers.

Queen Lexington? Does she also go by the name Lex? Because if so, then I think I have met her before.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Ow! says Helen. She fell for the feint.
I'll get you next time.

Katrina hears this and takes a break, sitting down, and breathing really hard.
Luckily she didn't break her ankles from those high-heeled shoes.

[Lex-Kat]

{Training Room}

Bianca and Helen will continue to spar. Bianca doesn't take it easy on Helen, so that when she doesn finally tag her, and Helen will I'm sure of it, Helen will know that she's getting better.

After about five minutes, if Katrina doesn't get back up and continue her run, Bianca will yell to her again. Remove the shoes and continue barefoot.

{Great Room}

Yes. She occasionally goes by Lex.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

After Helen manages to tag Bianca, she says You're...really good.

Katrina, on the other hand, took her sweet time taking off her shoes...and slowly got back up before running again.
She's sweating a lot.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I have not seen her around here in a while. How is she?

[Lex-Kat]

{Great Room}

She won't be coming back. She's taken over the throne, so she has a lot on her hands.

{Training Room}

Of course, dear. If I wasn't good, I couldn't train you properly. She steps out of her fighting stance and bows to Helen with respect.

You may either continue training, or shower and take a break. You've done well.

She then trots over toward Katrina. How many laps do you have left? She asks, running next to her.

[billtodamax]

Susan awakes in the detention wing, having dozed off. She looks around wildly and calls a drone to her when she notices her prisoner missing. She reviews the security tapes to see what happened.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Thanks. Helen bows back, and says I'm going to take a shower.
She goes towards the showers in the changing room, peels off her clothes, and turns on the water to hot.

Katrina stammers I-I-I don't remember. Lost track. Liar. She fully knows that she's done 6 1/2 laps.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Ah. Understandable. All is going well, I hope?

[Lex-Kat]

{Great Room}

Last I knew. Haven't bween home for a while.

that reminds me, I need to find Happyturtle. Do you know where she is?

{Training Room}

Well, I guess that means we need to start over, doesn't it?

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

No, no! She has a horrified look on her face. I uh..just remembered! I'm on my eighth lap!

Helen turns the shower to cold...and continues to wash herself off.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner shakes his head. I do not.

[billtodamax]

((Psst. I need to know what Susan sees when Bianca shadow walks with Katrina.))

[Je dit Viola]

((I don't know what it would look like...ask Lex-kat, she knows this stuff better than I do]}

[Lex-Kat]

{(Sorry. I was going to put it my last post, but forgot. })

Susan will see Bianca step out of the shadows, and talk to Katrina.

After a moment, she places her hands on Katrina's head and talks some more, while walking back toward the shadows.

Then the two of them will just..... disappear.

{Great Room}

Okay. So, what do you eat? Oil?

{Training Room}

Well, I'll meet you halfway and say you've done only four. Does that sound fair? Bianca continues to run beside Katrina. She's been slowly running faster, trying to get Katrina to subconsciously keep up with her. Oh, five now. You're halfway done.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I don't eat anything. But, I do need to have a somewhat steady supply of something known as Energon. If I go too long without any, my systems will simply shut down until I am in contact with Energon again.

And deadtime.

[Je dit Viola]

[Training Room]

Katrina groans...Yeah...I guess... she says.
She manages to keep up for a bit, because she can run faster, she just doesn't want to.
And then she gets even more tired really fast.

Meanwhile, Helen's done taking her shower and is getting dressed again.

[billtodamax]

She sighs and heads into the great room, looking for any sign of them. Listening and smelling, too.
