Following Cael's departure, Faye decided to go on her own journey away from Lann.
She arrives at Prota, mostly seeking out a place where she could be lead to Strike. She didn't really expect him to greet her himself, but it would be nice to be able to find him so she can get to poke at his brain a bit.
Not literally.
Although...

Since the Protan capital is veiled in so much mystery she doesn't even reach the border and is stopped well away from it by a couple of Prota soldiers.
"Well, well. A little far from home aren't you? Hyacinth Faye, support member of Cabal's Squad 8. What brings you here?"

"Well informed. Please. Just Faye."
Not really surprising the amount they know. It was a bit flattering to be recognized so quickly, though.
"I've come to speak with John Strike, if possible. A late dragon recommended him."

"A Dragon told you to talk to Emperor Strike himself? That's new."
They would exchange glances.
"Let us report this and we will see where it goes. Which Dragon gave you the recommendation?"

She looks up and taps her chin.
"Mmm. The one named Rai."
She's okay with waiting.

One would walk away and make the call on a fancy looking PT, before returning.
"Strike will meet with you, but would like a report as to why? While he respects that a Dragon asked you too, he is wary of the over all purpose behind it."

"Understandable."
The fact he agreed without knowing why short of recommendation was actually a pleasant surprise.
"I do not intend to do cause any trouble here. I am only trying to broaden my mind, scientifically speaking. I suppose I've been in a rut. I was told I may do well with speaking with Strike."
Among other science guys.

It wouldn't take long before a literal flying object could be seen making very little noise but kicking up a fair amount of wind fly to a near by field. It would hover in place slowly lowering to a point it could land and shut down. Out would walk Strike himself as a Driver seemed to be checking over the vehicle.
Emperor Strike would walk to greet Faye.
"Greetings, I am John Strike, though within my lands I am Emperor, it would be best if you addressed me as such to prevent any issues. Though I would also not like to be out in the open, so if you would join me on my Vette."
Strike would say waving with a somewhat wide gesture at the vehicle he flew in on.
"There are refreshments and snacks."

Faye would glance up, attempting to keep her eyes open despite the dust and the wind. Her clothing would flap wildly as the flying contraption went by, and Faye's only real thought was how nice and quiet it was. A+. Seeing Strike himself start coming over, however, was another point of interest.
Well. That was a painless interview.
She offers a nod of understanding at his title, despite the fact the guards she'd been speaking to referred to him as just Strike. Perhaps that was a testament of their rank. In any case, she refocuses on the Vette, admittedly interested in experiencing how it works.
"Thank you for your generous offer, Emperor. It would be my honour."
Her parents were very strict on politeness in other people's lands. Maybe that's why she had so much repressed nastiness to throw at...certain people.

Strike would nod and lead the way to the door ramp into the vehicle. The inside was built for luxury it would seem. A dining area, couch with coffee table and bed in the back. Pilot's compartment was separated from the traveling compartment. The inside was cushioned, had cabinets and a device to keep drinks cool.
"Please, take a seat."
Strike would walk over to his chair and sit himself.
"They tell me you have a recommendation to talk to me about a... Rut you seem to be in. I can only guess that you are a fellow follower of science being that you are wearing rather... Academic styled clothing."

Faye has a seat somewhere she can be mostly across from him, surprised at all the room in here. Even a bed. Fit for an Emperor indeed. It made her wonder how often he traveled.
But that wasn't the purpose of her visit.
"That is correct. To both statements. Alchemy is my specialty due to my Qi but I have dabbled in unrelated experiments before."

Strike seems to perk up when she mentions Alchemy.
"Ohhh, fascinating subject. I would consider myself a biological alchemist. I take it you have some observations on where your decline in inspiration originates?"

She nods.
And as embarrassing as it is to admit...
"I may lack imagination."

Strike leans back for a moment pondering with a cliche hum as he taps his chin.
"Imagination, you say... Or do you lack a goal?"

"It may very well be both." She says, thinking further on it.
"Someone less impeded by trying to fit logic into anything he does once offered the idea that I make a golem. To explain my dilemma, I was stumped by the progression on how to make it...sentient. I can use alchemy to form rocks into the shape of a golem, certainly. Am I overthinking the rest of it when it comes to making it move?"
Or was she correct in assuming a step was missing?
She scratches the back of her head with a sigh.
"Admittedly, short of just seeing what any elemental combination may create, I am lacking in a goal that isn't 'try everything and hope it does something'."
