Team Structure
Most of the structure team was setting up their instruments to measure the grail while Medea stayed back to take some samples of Atalanta. They worked quietly and professionally, until the grail surged, expending a great amount of energy that it seemed to be pulling from the leylines. Carlotta loosed several curses in italian, before running outside, trying to catch a breeze and deliver a message to her brother. She could tell the message was sent, but wasn't reaching it's recipient. She turned instead to Daichi, "Darling, do you have a cellular phone?"

Daichi already had it out. He opened the dialer and handed it to Carlotta, then went back to whatever instruments were already working. "You're fucking with me," he muttered to the readout.

Carlotta immediately phoned her brother. His forgotten cell phone rang on a living room coffee table.

Phillipus was carrying a ream of parchment and a new bottle of ink past the living room when he heard the familiar beeping strains of Lazarus's ringtone. He picked it up and pressed to accept the call.
"Hello? Carlotta?"
"Hello? Carlotta?"

"Indeed! Hello! Did you all just feel an energy surge of some type?" she spoke in italian as she was in slight distress, but luckily Phillipus could understand.

"Si, Signora, tu fratello e io were just getting readings on the well. What's the situation over there?"

"Well if you didn't know, it was the grail that pulled that energy. We saw it happen while we were down there setting up equipment. Not good. Please let Lazarus know. We'll be ready with what readings we did manage to get from the things we set up already. "

The sheets fluttered to the ground, the plastic wrap around the ink bottle keeping the cork from flying out when it hit the floor. "One moment!" A bubble formed around the phone as Phillipus shimmered into spirit, flying as fast as he could. In due time, Lazarus's phone flew towards his face, the bubble popping loudly to catch his attention.

The mage caught it without even looking, and after speaking with his sister, decided to take whoever wanted to go with him to the grail to see it for himself. He called Kirei and asked that he also attend.

Re: Team Structure
In short order, nearly all the participants of the Grail War arrived at the site of the Grail itself. Bazett and Avenger elected to stay behind, but Yui, Kirei, Illya, and their respective Servants arrived.
Yui sensed the mana below them. "So, it pulled in a bunch of mana, but now it's back to normal. The leylines are still diminished, however. I've never heard of the Grail doing anything like that."

"I agree," Lazarus added. He turned to the priest, "Any thoughts, oh honorable mediator?"

Re: Team Structure
Kirei shook his head. "No idea." He frowned, paused, then continued. "I... don't think this has to do with the corruption. It's just a feeling."
Yui was putting pieces together. "It sounds like whatever mana it pulled from the leylines, it spent it on something. The only thing the Grail could spend so much mana on is..." She shook her head, but Illya continued the thought.
"A summoning."
"It can't be. It's supposed to only summon seven. It's not designed to summon any more than that." She puzzled over it. "It stores up mana over sixty years to have the mana to summon seven Heroic Spirits. To summon any more... it would have to pull in emergency mana from the leylines. It fits the evidence. Still, my family's notes make it very clear: Seven Servants."
Illya frowned. "Same with my notes."

Medea crossed her arms. "But there's Avenger, isn't there? Is there anything in your notes about an auxiliary eighth? Considering that, it could be possible."

"Well, technically, Avenger is still the same Servant that was summoned way back in the Third War. He's left over from the past, like Fran, Phillipus, and Astolfo. We just gave him a new body." She shook her head in frustration. "I'd have to go through all my notes again. There has to be something about this."
Re: Team Structure
Lazarus nodded, "Well we have many important matters that need tended to at once. Let's go ahead and leave the structure team to what they were doing. Perhaps they can find some answers while studying the greater grail. The rest of us have other things to do, so I'd urge you to do them. I feel like Ilya is probably right and we must be missing a piece of information that confirms it. Good luck everyone!" With that, he returned to the mansion, continuing his study.

"Rules like that are almost begging to be broken," Daichi remarked to Lazarus's back. He pushed his glasses up his nose and turned to Carlotta. "Well, back to the grind?"

Re: Team Structure
"I suppose!" she agreed. She continued to help him set up equipment, making small talk as they went to get to know him. She had to ask what a couple words meant every once in awhile, but she was very pleasant, and had an equally pleasant time. It just goes to show that you should get to know a person before possibly letting them be killed in a horrible battle.
