Lapis Lazuli is a Kaphisian teacher. Highly intelligent, she was part of the group who, alongside Andrei and Cormac Varady, escaped Yata during the Insurgency, after she and her fellow Kaphisians Ruby, Jade, Sapphire, and Carbonado's expedition shuttle crashed in Nuan Krovh and later on becoming involved with WIP.
Crashing in Nuan Krovh
Lapis Lazuli was selected to be sent on an expedition to the derelict world of Yata, obliterated by the Insurgency, to evaluate whether the Kaphi'si were able to colonise it. She, Black Opal, Ruby, Carbonado and Slade were among the crew members. But as they prepared to land in the city of Trondheim, a mysterious, half-toppled blue tower emanated a pink lazer beam, which ripped through the ship, causing it to crash into the forest below, beginning a fire. She and her comrades who would later join Andrei and Cormac (except for Black Opal) were the only survivors of this crash.
Wounded, she then headed into the city, where she encountered Andrei, Cormac and The Girl. With the aid of her intelligence, they were able to topple the tower by derailing a tram into it's unstable, rotting supports. The destruction of the blue engine meant that the Yomtach command was alerted to their efforts, and sent out hordes to their position.
While heading to the rendezvous point, they spotted a wildfire ravaging the forest surrounding Trondheim. Running through it, they heard screaming in the distance, and later found Emerald, (as Ruby and Slade had fused to escape the forest fire.) The group narrowly escaped burning to death by leaping off a cliff into the deep fjord below. They then found a large rowing boat, which they used to row down the fjord towards the rendezvous point.
They got off the boat, and started running up the hill to the airstrip where Aldren was waiting with the jet. But as they approached it, the plane's engines began to throttle up and the plane began a slow takeoff roll. The group turned around to see a Yomtach horde chasing them down the runway, and that Aldren was taking off because they would otherwise have been caught. One by one, the group managed to clamber onto the ramp, but a fusion-sick Emerald almost didn't make it, with the group forming a chain to grab him as the plane accelerated. He managed to get onto the plane in the nick of time, and the ramp closed and the plane took off.
As the group slept in the cabin, Andrei and Aldren planned their next move. Discussing the assault on the red engine, the two began a close friendship which would last after Aldren's untimely death in the future, with Andrei growing an immense loyalty to House Tremar and to Mylonagrad, despite being Palladian born and raised, and also despite House Tremar severing any ties it had left with it's homeland.
Red Engine, Black Engine; and Carbonado
Although security presence was increased after the assault on the blue engine, the group found it very easy to sneak into the red engine, located in Aparty, and initiate the self-destruct, and they made a quick and easy exit afterwards. Once at the Black Engine, using her intuition, she deduced that they could shoot a zipline across to the tower that took them over the military base below it. They deduced that, although they would be seen, they could clear any attention once inside. The Girl used her powers to create the zipline, passing out in the process having used her energy, so Emerald took her back to the plane, leaving her, Andrei and Cormac to take down the black engine by themselves.
As they rode the zipline, the end they were going to snapped, and they fell short of their target, leaving them dangled over an extremely deep pit where the tower was burrowed. (she stated it was 854 metres exactly.) The sheer weight of the wire then began to pull them over the edge back outside, and as she was the last to ride, she was the first to be pulled over the slope. Immediately unbeknownst to Andrei and Cormac, Yomtachs were waiting at the other side, and she was tranquilised before she could call out to them. She was taken to the transfer zone, and when the pink engine docked with the black engine, she was transferred into the brig of the pink engine, and placed into stasis.
