I have...a terrible need...shall I say the word?...of religion. Then I go out at night and paint the stars.

"Hatate, you're quick. Go get Nitori. She'll want to see this."
>Must... have... robot army.

>The tengu reporter laughs. "That kappa would have a heart attack if she could see this thing. I'd love to see her reaction, but, there's something I have to ask this Gordon first. Besides, if there's another alien out there, I want to find her, too."
>Your own personal army of robotic minions.... You quickly catch yourself before you start drooling.

> Walk over to kogasa, and ask her if she's okay, but quietly.

>Kogasa's expression doesn't change, but she aims her mismatches eyes at you. It's so weird to see a worried expression in her eyes. "I was thinking.... These two. They said they were attacked in their own Netherworld. And then chased by whoever attacked them. What if whoever attacked them followed them here?"

>Kogasa's worried expression softens a little. "Yeah..."
>Hatate takes a moment to think before responding. "Maybe. Depends on how long he takes, and if that kappa's even home. Could be gone on one of those 'item hunts' of hers. And.... much as it galls me to admit, I'm not quite as fast as Aya is." She then gives you a questioning look. "What's your hurry?"
>Gordon stomps back over to Thursday, wrench in hand, and starts tightening the bolt he was working on before your arrival on the scene.

>"I want Nitori to learn how to make a robot like that. Go get her. I'll work some miracles with the wind to speed you up."

>Hatate can't help but laugh at that idea. But more the 'I'm impressed' than 'You're crazy' kind of laugh. "You dream big, Sanae. And I can only imagine how badly Aya would flip if I had the inside line of a story like that." The she sobers. "But I'm staying, for now. If there's another alien out there, and she's hurt, then Gordon may need my eyes and speed here, to find her fast. Plus," she adds, her voice getting a little more serious, "if there IS another alien force coming to Gensokyo, a hostile force, like Tatara-san said, then I intend to let them know that Gensokyo isn't a place to mess with."
>Gordon finishes on the one bolt, then gets on his back and twists another pair of bolts on Thursday's inner leg. "Try it now, Thursday!"
>"ACCESSING.... REPAIRS SUFFICIENT. SENSORS FUNCTIONAL."
>"Excellent!" Gordon declares, kipping back up to his feet in one smooth motion. "Now find my Jennifer!"
>"UNABLE TO COMPLY. SENSORS FUNCTIONAL BUT INOPERABLE DUE TO INSUFFICIENT POWER. MAIN POWER BANKS WERE DRAINED TO MAKE RETRO-ROCKETS FIRE."
>"HHmmmmmmm.. Then we need to find you some power!"
>"ENERGY TRANSFER SYSTEMS ABOARD THE SHIP WERE SEVERLY DAMAGED. POSSIBILITY OF REPAIRS: 3.875%"
>As Gordon places his hand to his head (perhaps thinking is starting to give him a headache), Hatate's aide raises her hand. "Excuse me.... Would electricity do the job?"
>"AFFIRMATIVE. HOWEVER, NO SOURCES OF USABLE ELECTRICITY PRESENT."
>"Maybe not...." She then looks at you. "Kochiya-sama, can you call down lightning?"

>Can we? Whatever the answer is, say it.

>Your specialty is the wind, but you do have a more limited control over other forms of weather: clouds, rain, and yes, lightning. You've never tried to call down a bolt of lightning out of a blue sky before, but you feel confidant you can do it. And so, you inform the smaller tengu.
>"A BOLT OF LIGHTNING WILL DAMAGE MY CIRCUITRY."
>"I'm don't want Kochiya-sama to drop a lightning bolt on you, Thursday-san." the tengu replies. "I can control static electricity." she says hesitantly, a little shy, you think. "If Kochiya-sama can call down lightning somewhere within about 50 feet or so, I can channel the static charge left by the strike in the air into you. Will that... recharge your sensors?"
>"CALCULATING PROBABILITY." A series of beeps and clicks emerge from the large green robot for several seconds. "ATMOSPHERIC DISCHARGE OF ELECTRICITY WOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT POWER TO RE-ENERGIZE MY CIRCUITRY. UNABLE TO CALCULATE ACCURATE PROBABILITY DUE TO UNFAMILIARITY WITH SUBJECT: FUU'S ABILITY."
>"If Fuu says she can do it, she can do it." Hatate assures the robot. "Go ahead, Sanae, show us the lightning."

>Check the clouds; do they seem lightning-worthy?

>The clouds in your immediate vicinity are still fairly white, though they are numerous. That ominous stormcloud is stills towards the north; it seems to have stalled in the area of the Myoren temple. It may take a little more elbow grease than normal get jigger a lighting bolt out of what you have to work with, but nothing you can't handle.

>...Hope they don't have any laundry out today or anything, it could blow away.

>Never one for halfway measures, you decide that one little lightning bolt isn't good enough. You're gonna borrow a whole stormbank! Of course, this time of year, that's just as likely to be a snow storm than a lightning storm, but you can work with that. Thunder snow... Yeah, that sounds cool.
>You call forth the north wind to dislodge that stalled storm, and move it to a more productive location. The Buddhists'll probably be grateful for that. And you do try and keep a collar on that wind, as well. No need to dislodge anything at the temple.
>After several moments of sustained concentration, much to your surprise, the black cloud has not moved. Hasn't even budged.
>Gordon scans the sky. "Shouldn't something have happened by now?"

>Call down a lightning bolt.

>That ain't right. No cloud can resist the might of Sanae!
>But, some ornery cloud can wait until after you help the robot get his parts back in working order.
>Switching your focus away from the north wind, and the chill that blew in with it, you refocus your will on the sky above you. There isn't a great deal of electrical activity in the air, but what does that matter? You're Sanae Kochiya! The laws of physics are no match for you!
>In response to your mental summons, a brilliant zig-zagging lance of electricity appears and dissapears in a flash about ten feet or so behind the two tengu. You frown slightly, as you HAD been aiming for furthur away than that. Well, lightning isn't your forte, that's close enough. Least you didn't drop it on Gordon's head, or something. An additional unforseen effect of this is the MASSIVE blast of thunder that echoes throughout the region. Kogasa's umbrella flares in surprise, and you, as well as everyone else, cover your ears instinctively.
>Note to self: lightning in close proximity = potential hearing damage.

>At the moment, it's a safe bet that she, like Hatate, is wishing Tengu hearing was quite as acute as it is. Both of them are rubbing their ears, grimacing. Not surprising, really. If YOUR ears hurt, and they do, imagine how that sound hurt those two.
>"Booo..... A little warning next time, Sanae-chan?" Kogasa implores, holding a hand to her own ear.

>"I was trying to get it to be further away.."

>"Keep practicing...." Gordon suggests.
>The two tengu give their heads a shake, almost in concert, and Hatate gives her aide a look. "You alright?"
>"Gonna have a headache for a week...." Fuu replies, giving her boss a wan smile. "But I can do the job. Kochiya-sama did her part, now I'll do mine." The smaller tengu walks over to Thursday, her wings (and Hatate's too) looking a little frizzed. She walks around the robot, seemingly confused, looking for something. "Um, how do I...?"
>"TACTILE INTERFACE WILL SUFFICE."
>Fuu continues to look confused, and looks to you for help.

>"AFFIRMATIVE. ONCE SUPPLIED WITH ENERGY, I CAN DIRECT IT TO WHATEVER SYSTEM I NEED."
>Fuu nods. "All right, then. Thank you, Kochiya-sama." She reaches out her right hand and wiggles her fingers experimentally. Then she places her left hand on the side of the large green robot. Yellow lines of electricity emerge from around her elbow and traverse her arm, entering the robot's frame. This continues for the better part of a minute before the electricity subsides. "That's all I can manage, Thursday-san."
>"BEEP BLIIP BEEP. ENERGY TRANSFER.... SUFFICIENT. LONG RANGE SCANNERS OPERATING AT 88% EFFECTIVENESS. SHORT RANGE SCANNERS OPERATING at 72% EFFECTIVENESS."
>"Excellent, Thursday!" Gordon exclaims. "Now start looking for Jennifer!" He then turns his eyes to Fuu. "Impressive, little angel!"
>"Uh.... I'm no...." Fuu stammers, looking decidedly uncomfortable.

>WHat all do we know about tengu?

>You know there are several types of tengu, but you've only ever had contact with two: the Crow tengu, like Aya and Hatate and Fuu here; and the White Wolf tengu, exemplified by Momiji and her fellow guard. The tengu are rather territorial, and don't take all that kindly to strangers invading their turf. But they're not mean about it, in general, and while they will almost always escort said intruders out of the their territory, and warn them not to come back, they never rough intruders up. At least, not the first time, anyway.
>Despite their insular society, the tengu are a curious people. This is why Crow tengu are the most commonly encountered tengu elsewhere in gensokyo. They're also amazing drinkers. You've known a few that could even put Kanako-sama under the table. They're generally good folks, but most of the ones you've known carry themselves with just a hint of haughtiness. Like they're better than humans, and they know it, even if they like humans. Hatate, however, is different, which is part of the reason you and she get on as well as you do.
Tengu are also very proud, and very competitive.
>Every tengu you've ever met has displayed at least a moderate amount of skill at danmaku, and probably have their own unique ability. And they're pretty smart, too. All in all, they're not a people you'd want to mess with casually.
>But if Gordon thinks they're angels, he'd be pretty disappointed. They're a generally good folk, but classically speaking, there's not a tremendous amount 'angelic' about them.

>"People with wings who live in heavan. Supposedly, at least. There aren't any here in our heaven, but I guess Gordon's world's heaven does have them."
>To Gorden: "Tengu aren't angels."

>Kogasa ponders your words for a moment. "Gensokyo's heaven doesn't have angels, but, what about your world?"
