So, as a result of recent discussions in the general ideas thread I thought to post a thread for the idea itself.
Yuuno Scrya is magi-tech Indiana Jones, poking his nose into places containing weird and powerful relics of uncertain origin and tremendous destructive potential. He's also a gifted mage who never pursues a Device after he hands his over to Nanoha.
The idea is that on one of his many archeological expeditions Yuuno comes across one of the traps that the alien species known as the Reach like to set up. These traps are designed to appear to the natives of a planet as ancient ruins of indeterminate age and are baited with one of the Reach's trademark Scarabs, devices that are a fusion of technology and biology and take unwitting hosts to create an infiltration tool and weapon capable of subduing a planet.
Upon discovering the Scarab within this particular ruin though Yuuno is not immediately transformed into its meat puppet as he normally would be. The Reach, and by extension their Scarabs, have almost no experience with magic as an actual thing that exists, and so Mid-Childa and its magic-based development throws the regular conquest plan right out the window.
Will Yuuno break free from the Scarab? Will The Reach launch an invasion of Mid-Childa? and who will notice something is not quite right with the Infinite Librarian?
This thread is for discussion of the idea and for posting snippets for those so inspired.
