While Hitomi and Hall were discussing, the light in the chamber started to flicker. It was, in fact, not only the case in the conference room of the Ark Royal, but also everywhere else in Sirius. The Neuralnet has collapsed. Everything about the meeting that was stored in digital form was now lost. Hitomi and Hall were observing around in the dark, trying to figure out what was going on. Hitomi grasped the handle of her katana and Hall placed his hand over the pocket where he held a couple of teabags, which was, as one might guess, over his heart.
Out of the darkness, the lights started to flicker again and eventually normal status was restored. It has all lasted for a few seconds.
"Please excuse me", Hall's grimace of confusion suddenly returned to normal, or at least by his standards. "I don't know what Admiral Davis is doing with this ship. Can we continue?"
