"What the hell?!"

"Computer crash again? I keep telling you, Kishiro-" an older mercenary started.

"No, Masaru, it's... Director Seido," Calvin explained, still surprised. "I can't believe he's actually alive. Wait a sec-"

"Is he still alive? Or is it-"

"Someone claiming to be him?"

"You two are creeping me out," a young Kusari woman interrupted. "What's going on?"

"Little Karakasa, complaining about other people startling her?" the veteran laughed. "Calvin and I are headed out to New Tokyo. I think you and Yoshiaki can handle things down here."

"Can do, dad."

A Nyx, not an entirely rare sight in Kusari. Two people climbed out, a little more unusual. One was a greying Kusari man with a wiry build and light armor barely visible under his jacket. The other was a young blond man, dressed similarly to an on-duty GMG Ace pilot, but in a black and red armored flightsuit instead of the normal white and blue.

Quite unusual.

They went to the appointed place, each making sure their weapons were ready in case something went wrong, and sat in a booth in the corner.
