Metebelis Ritual Ceremony

A forbidden occult process conducted by Lupton to summon alien forces through the Metebelis mandala. The ceremony requires precise positioning atop the Metebelis Ritual Cushion, with key participants like Sarah Jane Smith observing or resisting its unfolding. For Mike in Barnes' room, the ceremony represents a coercive revival of occult contact, marked by urgent preparation and the mandala's conditioning power.

Mike coerces Barnes into reviving the mandala contact

The Metebelis Ritual Ceremony is central to the dialogue and Mike’s strategic proposal. Though physically absent, it is invoked as an imminent requirement and coercive tool. Mike and Barnes discuss its mechanics—mandala, participants, and sequence—framing it as a shared necessity. It transforms from a covert operation into a contested negotiation point.

Before: An established but recently dormant occult process, reliant on five participants and the mandala.
After: Conditionally re-legitimized by both men as a necessary course of action, despite Barnes’ skepticism and procedural concerns.
