Moonstone touches one of the Gem's on her body. It shoots out a spray of light, illuminating an image of Pascal, in shimmering blue and white and white, revealing the floating Chameleon shaped creature which Moonstone believed granted her powers.
Moonstone can send him to anyone she wants, bringing along a message, and allowing Pascal to travel back and forth with messages, relaying what the others say. He moves through a small blue white portal that opens for him.
One party must focus on Pascal, helping him appear to those who aren't Moonstone.

Zhao's body is a patchwork of high-end chrome and artificial flesh, a testament to the extremes of experimentation he conducted on himself since the acquisition of source. Matte-black carbon fiber plates interlock seamlessly with patches of synth-skin, creating a topography of man and machine. Quantum processors enhance his psyche and speed of thought, while a spiderweb of subdermal wiring pulses beneath translucent sections of his skin, glowing a faint neon blue when he's jacked in. Sleek, retractable mono-filament whips are housed in his forearms, while his fingers end in titanium-alloy tips that can interface with any port or lock. A low hum emanates from his chest, where a military-grade cardio-booster keeps his system overclocked: his legs are a marvel of cybernetic engineering, with high-tensile synthetic muscles and bone-lace reinforcements allowing for bursts of superhuman speed. The freshly enhanced shadow is as much at home in under the spotlight as in the back alleys and filthy underpasses of the world.

Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
