[scene: Zoi's room]

Kunzite: Zoi, I'm going to need you to get back in bed and lie down.

Zoi: No! Why! I need to kn-

[Kunzite grabs hold of him and drains his energy, then lays him on the bed, and turns his back on him.]

Kunzite: Jadeite, get Beryl. Tell her to stop whatever she is doing and bring her to Nephrite's mansion, without hesitation. We need to do a divination.

Jeddy: What about Zoi? Shouldn't he be there too?

Kunzite: Zoisite remains here, asleep in his own bed, until we determine why he cannot remember anything that happened today.

Jeddy: Obviously someone tampered with his memories.

Kunzite: His mind can't be tampered with. Not even by Mother.

Neffy: The whole reason the Death Phantom wanted him as his pet is because he is immune to mind magic.

Jeddy: Oh right. [shrugs] Then he's been asleep this whole time, and that other guy was the imposter.

Neffy: Except, if that had been an imposter, the curse wouldn't have been dragged me into the flames to save him.

Jeddy: It's either that, or he suffered a bump on the head that gave him amnesia.

Kunzite: Going back to midnight? Pacific Standard Time? Precisely to the second? I was with him. There was nothing that would explain his memories stopping at precisely that moment.

Jeddy: Then he did it to himself. The battle with the Death Phantom might have been so traumatic that he repressed the memory of ever having a birthday.

Neffy: Then who healed him and repaired his clothing?

[jeffy ponders this]

Jeddy: ...I'll go get Beryl...and meet you at the mansion.

[A few minutes later, in the secret planetarium of Neffy's Palo Alto mansion. Neffy concentrates intently as slarlight dances between his hands. Above the ceiling shows the illusion of a starry sky. The others watch in a row slightly behind him.]

Neffy: The stars see all. The stars know all.

Beryl: *Shouldn't Metalia be here for this, too?*

Kunzite: *Until we know exactly what we are dealing with, we shouldn't bother Mother with any of this.*

Jeddy: *As someone who just got back from The Hotel-Time-Forgot, which is currently decorated with Death-Phantom-Confetti. I think Mother is going to want to be bothered with this.*

Beryl: *I agree. The Death Phantom was murdered. That should concern mother greatly.*

Kunzite: *Silence. The Divination is starting.*

Neffy: Come forth Astraea, the Celestial Virgin, and share with us your unearthly wisdom.

[The Constellation Virgo glows, forming the outline of an ancient greek maiden with cruel eyes, wearing chaste robes and holding a scale in her hands, the outline comes to ghostly life]

Astraea: I am the all-seeing avatar of Astraea, protector of natural order, she who stand in silent judgement of humanity from afar, and awaits mankind's end so she might return to planet. What is your bidding, Nephrite, Servant of the Chaos?

[Beryl steps in front of Neffy.]

Beryl: Tell us what happened to the Death Phantom?

Astraea: He was slain.

Neffy: Irrevocably?

Astraea: Indeed.

Beryl: How is that possible?

Astraea: In the Age of the Titans, Gods were slain routinely. All but a few of the instruments of their destruction were scattered and lost.

Beryl: The Silver Crystal?

Astraea: [nods sagely] The Illusionary Silver Crystal is forged into a weapon by the two beings that currently call themselves Eleanor and Devon Heltry, and used to destroy the Death Phantom.

Beryl: Why? To what end?

Astraea: Their motives are their own, Daughter of Chaos. I can't scry into their minds, not sift the truth from their many lies. I am all-seeing, but not all knowing. I can provide you with facts, but you must draw your own conclusions.

Beryl: What sort of a weapon?

Astraea: A laser that uses the Silver Crystal to generate a beam of Light Magic, capable of destroying any creature made of Dark Matter.

Beryl: Powerful enough to harm the Major Goddess of Chaos, Metalia?

Astraea: It is capable of destroying the Major Goddess Metalia without difficulty. Indeed, they have repeatedly stated an intention to do so.
