Plot Premise: 

The Arrancar scientists and researches of Las Noches have utilized their statistical data as well as small hollows to investigate and study some of the spiritual abnormalities, more so the ones that effect behavior of the otherwise mindless Hollows. These smaller Hollows would find themselves relatively neutral, but at some point in time began becoming more docile in form, caring less about consumption, and at some point became visible to humans in the area. 

What more, they have began to stop responding to the control of the Arrancar above them. As a result, they were terminated. Data gained has been incredibly obscure, and as a result, it falls to the Espada and their regular partners to investigate this odd power, learn more about the odd properties of the forest, as well as come to understand what is dominating and possessing Hollows. In addition, perhaps come to understand what the source of power is that is drawing spiritual particles to such a condensed manner.

It is noted that engaging is not a necessity, more so observation. It is important to note that Air Ground is not available to get a bird's eye view, and energy sensory abilities have been incredibly obscured in this particular area. Unless one has natural flight capabilities or advanced air ground, birds eye view is generally unavailable. In order to assist the Espada and or general Arrancar / Hell parties in this regard, a total of thirty Arrancar have been dispatched divied between Arcadus, Ailene, Orobas respectively. Or if not Arrancar, then Hollow or hellish subordinates all the same or equivalent.

More resources may be requested, but may not necessarily be received. 

An Arrancar researcher by the name of "Dakia" is present, an aspiring scientist whom is here to conduct and record research based on the findings of the Espada and their underlings. It is begrudgingly an order to keep Dakia alive, as he has certain abilities that can assist with research.

Aokigahara, Japan. Namely, the aptly-named Suicide Forest. A location with quite the reputation behind it, and the target of numerous spiritual anomalies as of late. Anomalies that, in due time, ended up catching the attention of a certain Legatus. Though, curiosity was far from the only reason Orobas found themselves heading out on a research operation, led by a group of Arrancar. After all, having separated from Kouhai and Las Noches as a whole, they were free to make their own decisions from here on out. Nobody except Lucifer truly held dominion over them. This was a freedom they were going to capitalize on where they could.

Cracking their neck and leading a small group of Eques from the Praeventori Legion into the Human World, Orobas quickly assumed their favorite guise; that of Orobas Price, appropriately named after themselves. When visiting the Human World, and especially when running their antique shop, this was easily the guise they took on more often than not. Interestingly enough, though, they wondered if the other two Arrancar they had agreed to work with - Ailene and Arcadus - had seen this form before. They knew wholeheartedly Arcadus hadn’t, but was the same able to be said for the Septima? Only time would truly tell. They’d simply have to wait for her arrival.

Upon arriving into the human world with their legion, Orobas turned to their second-in-command for this mission; a Hason simply named Wulfric. ”Wulfric,” they called, keeping their vision forward as a Hason ran up behind them, ”please, do me a favor and let that scientist - I believe their name was Dakia - know that we’ve arrived. I’d like this to go as smoothly as possible, so please do what you can to remain as diplomatic as possible; you’re representing one of the four Legions of Sanctus, and I’d like to keep ourselves in a somewhat… decent light for the time being.” Without a word, the Hason in question quickly bowed off, and began to explore around the area, obviously on the hunt for this “Dakia” fellow. While waiting for Wulfric to return, Orobas simply averted their gaze across the area, waiting for both Wulfric to return, and for their allies to arrive.

[Arcadus]

Looking over his briefing again, Arcadus rolled his eyes. The last thing he wanted was for this to turn out to be nothing, and while it seemed like it would be interesting, it appeared, at least for mthe moment, to be in a vague scientific discovery, rahter than something seriously worth taking note of. Though the ability to essentially tame hollows did excite his curiosity, as it might have an application in "that" project. After dressing appropriately for the terrain, a set of tighter robes, white with gold trim and black sash over his standard black body glove, he stepped through the dimensional maw, out of his palace and into the forest. 

Striding towards the research center and looking for some underling of Dakia, Arcadus could sense something, wrong, even by his standards, with the place around him. The locals called it the "suicide forest" because apparently it was a culturally taboo place to explore since so many had taken their own lives there, and as such, was safer to take ones life there, so it was taboo to explore, etc etc. But the spiritual energy he expected wasn't there, not exactly of anguish, at least not a flavor he was used to. 

He had been told Ailene was on this observation, which at least would help him pass the time. As for one Orabas Price, Ailene had mentioned him once he believed, some kind of acquaintance. In either case, if he was  unaffiliated with the Espada but brought on anyway, it was likely he was some kind of expert in the field. He'd have to see, and any case, if it was a result of the strange spiritual energy, he'd have to look into potentially trying to mimic it, and use it in his kennels for better suppression of hollow agression. 

Searching around for the head researcher, he began to take note of his surroundings, and noticed that 10 Arrancar stood ready for him. He wasn't used to seeing actual forces for such expeditions  but  greatly warmed to the idea of commanding troops and forces over the course of viewing them. All various anthropoids of a multitudinous variety. They didn't have a formation per say, but did seem to all be expectably waiting for him, to which he wouldn't keep them waiting any longer. It was rude after all, and it wouldn't reflect well to daddle on gawking at his surroundings. Best face forward, he was the Trecera Espada, these Arrancar's Lord.

"I assumed you all have been briefed, but for the sake of ensuring that you all are up to speed, I will reiterate. We are here to aid and investigate the findings of one Researcher Dakai. They are reporting that they have found some form of energy feild. It has been reported to be affecting hollows in the area, making them docile, and some even visible to non spiritual mortals. I hope I do not need to stress the importance of this. If this is found out, everything about our way of life can come crashing down. We are going to isolate the source of this field, negate it, and remove it. Any further study should be conducted in a setting that does not endanger the mortal ignorance of the spiritual. I hope our goals are clear."

Stepping away, he needed to find Dakai. The fact that hey were not waiting for him was incredibly unprofessional, and frankly insulting. He had been told multiple Espada were going to be involved in this, he expected some level of respect. In any case, this served as both an oppurtunity to pull his leadership skills together after leaving them in the rain to rust, and to acquire some very good tech or spiritual artifact. If it worked on all spiritual beings, that could prove a real difficulty, but an apathy field that worked on Quincy would prove to be possibly the most potent weapon they had against the Vandenriech. That prospect excited Arcadus, and he began to stare off, theorizing on how to weaponize an apathy field. 

[Alacrán]

Considering the effects of that this place had on Hollows, it'd only make sense that an actual Hollow would want to investigate how exactly it'd affect him, even if it could possibly make him docile, although he highly doubted that were actually possible. What he was very much interested in was what made the Hollows become unresponsive to the control of the Arrancars, although he wouldn't let that be know to any should they ask him. Their lack of air ground observation and energy sensory blockage had him confident in them having to rely on him for scouting purposes.

Still he wasn't too happy to have to be working with Arrancars and especially a Hellion at that. So when he arrived in the Human world with the assistance of a fellow Hollow who quickly left after opening their Garganta for him, he looks around at them with a neutral expression and feelings, trying to subdue his anger and hatred for these creatures for the time being for the sake of this research they were after. He'll break off from them eventually should he get the chance and look for the source of this power on his own when possible but for now he will wait and work with them which meant playing nice.

He looks down towards the Arrancars and nods, "I am Alacrán. I figured ya'll would need a Hollow ta observe the effects of this forest on as well as the ability of scouting out the area using my height. I am at yer disposal but do understand that I serve myself before I serve ya." He nods slightly at them, hoping that will be enough to either please them or at the very least make them indifferent to him even if they didn't completely like him. As he looks back up however, he begins scanning their surroundings now to try and get an understanding of where they're headed.

[Guerrero Manipuladora]

The subordinates of Orobas and Arcadus sought out Dakia, as the group gathers, in hopes of understanding and perhaps nullifying the strange effects upon this general atmosphere. There was momentary pause as Wulfric heads off to inform the leading scientist, and it was very evident here at this small burgeoning camp that there was a variety of equipment, some for the purpose of measurement, and some finer tune instruments that those gathered here may not understand. However, before long, an individual reveals themselves.

There, standing before Arcadus, Orobas, and Alacran is an Arrancar, standing long, spindly, nearly seven foot tall and yet weighing perhaps only a hundred twenty some points in his delicate and fragile frame. His teeth were long and deformed, almost like the keys of a piano, and their limbs were oddly stretched out of proportion, their fingers like long branches as he is seemingly always in a constant hunch. A white skinned Arrancar with spindly black hair and almost oval shaped brown eyes. 

"Greetings...I am Dakia." His voice was somewhat stunted, almost as deformed as his person was, but as much as they were an eyesore to look upon, they seemed to be at least of some importance to be assigned to this case. "A Hollow looking to serve themselves? Tshk tshk. That just won't do. Not when you could be serving a greater caushe. Like the caushe of science." His hands opening up as he raises his arms as if to emphasize its grand importance.

"The shpiritual energy of thish area is rather fascinating. From my observashions, there are multiple various effects that are evident throughout these woodlands. It ish very...fascinating." That said, the Arrancar beckons each of the important figures about so that he may give his perspectives. "From my observashions, I find that there is only so many possibilities of what might have caused this anomaly, but from my studies, a main hypothesis."

Slowly opening a spiritual diagnostic of the map, there seems to be divided several sections of the map in terms of green markers, yellow markers, and red markers. "Within the central area of this forest, leading towards the mountains, there must be an entity. Something that is causing this massive set of anomaly. Some form of foreign obstruction that is causing this matter. A massive disturbance of reiatsu and environmental manipulation on a grand scale." That said?

"The purpose of this excursion is to learn as much as possible about the anomaly. For it may provide...useful, in our further endeavors if we may utilize it." Whilst they talk, the Arrancar uses his opposite hand to begin furiously typing away into a keyboard that hovers in the air, before then stopping to a pause. "Forgive me. I must be acting most incredibly vague. I ought to explain more, but I'd rather you ask me the questions you want to know instead of rambling on unnecessary matters."

"So please. Lead away~"
