**Dlanor A. Knox, Inquisitor of Heaven - Dlanor's Office, UMMA Vessel _Tanngrisnir_** Dlanor A. Knox had not been on a inquisitorial mission in far too long. No, neither the Court of Heaven nor the UMMA had seen fit to deploy her recently. She supposed it was due to a dearth in those who violated Knox's Decalogue, and a lack of activity from Shadow Eternity recently. However, the substitute for doing anything she felt was truly of benefit was... paperwork. There was a lot of it, both from the Court of Heaven and from the UMMA. While Dlanor acknowledged that it had to be done, it was hardly her favorite course of action. At least, however, today something new was occurring. Dlanor was multitasking, at the moment. The paperwork had to be handled, but at the same time she was taking a station as a guard... The ship began to slowly move out from the hanger. It was massive, one of the UMMA's interdimensional vessels. Dlanor had her own method of travel, but she had been assigned to help protect this vessel... while working through important paperwork. Her office had quickly been replicated on-board the ship, complete with her desk, her quill, and jar of cookies. Dlanor had no desire to forsake the cookie jar. Of course, this came along with her stack of paperwork. Dlanor's expression was a calm one. She disliked paperwork, but it had to be done. Her quill scratched along paper as she diligently filled out the latest sheet, relating to a trial she had been involved with. The defendant had ultimately been found innocent, the whole event a bizarre misunderstanding. But... it made more paperwork! This was an endless frustration for the girl. As much as she tried to remain quiet about it, it was hard not let some of her frustration at the sheer amount of paperwork seep into her expression as her quill scratched across the many dotted lines. The ship drifted on through the space between dimensions. --- **Saber - Female Agent Communal Showers, Yggdrasil** Saber quietly toweled herself off. She had simply intended to take a quick shower while no-one else was there, and that had gone well enough. She was still dripping wet, but all she needed to do now was towel herself dry. She scrubbed away in silence, until her skin was both perfectly clean and completely dry once more. Good. The blonde girl proceeded out of the showers and to the adjacent locker room. It was blank and sterile, like many of the other locations in the official sections of Yggdrasil. The civilian areas were similar, but far more furnished. This locker room was assembled simply to store items while female agents were in the shower, and it was clear it had no other purpose. Saber simply proceeded over to her locker, unlocked it, and took out her clothing. It was a silken black suit. The Servant dressed herself, alone, in silence. The final touch was tying her blonde hair into a short ponytail. She still felt that it fit this outfit, in the end. Today she was intended to do some business, but nothing especially major... She left the locker room shortly afterwards. Saber was considering looking into possible dangers and threats and seeing if she would perhaps be able to aid in counteracting them. She did not feel she was best serving the UMMA at Yggdrasil, and therefore it was her intent to serve them in a greater capacity. There were people in the multiverse who would do terrible things, and she intended to stop them. Saber proceeded through the halls. She was currently required in Yggdrasil due to concerns about Shadow Eternity presence. She was still in close contact with Shirou and Rin utilizing the UMMA communications devices. From what she understood, the small circular screens were a complex hybridization of magic and technology to grant communication even through dimensions without interruption. Saber didn't understand it very well, but it worked. --- **Black Rock Shooter - Client World 576143290-B** Black Rock Shooter lacked understanding. She had seen things. Things she had never seen before. From the abstract scenery of the otherworld she had passed through a gap, a hole in her reality. And in passing through this hole she had entered a void. It had felt as though she could not breath, but somehow this did not stop her lungs from filling with air. Even as a reflection of a human being, the otherself could breath, feel, think. Black Rock Shooter did not understand what this void was. But she did not dwell on it. She had to retrieve Dead Master. It was an absolute necessity. And so she had drifted... and passed through a brilliant light... And arrived here. An arid landscape, a vast, shifting desert. She did not understand. The could not understand how she had come to such a place, a place divorced from the void she had been so recently passing through. Divorced from the world she had come from. Yet she continued. Black Rock Shooter would not allow confusion to halt her. Her black coat fluttered in the dessert wind as she walked onward. The sands here would not do well for her motorcycle's wheels... And then she saw something else she did not understand. A towering building, jutting from the sand. Some kind of ruin? The otherself drew closer, her twintails fluttering in the wind. There were more, vines growing up them and water glittering in the middle. It was some kind of oasis? ... A drill. There was some kind of much more recent structure in these ruins, the gleaming chrome of an immense excavation drill. The sand, from what the girl could see from where she stood, had been cleared away. But there was no-one present. The drill was emblazoned with English writing. Black Rock Shooter's knowledge of the language was limited, though as an otherself this did not hinder verbal communication. But as Mato would know these letters, so did she. S.E.? What did it stand for? The pale girl drew closer. Something was... strange here... she did not feel alone. --- **Shadow Eternity Headquarters, Location Unknown** Her prize now lay in a state of motionlessness. It was stasis. This particular subject... no, she would not be harmed. She was a unique being. A living creature who embodied the psyche and emotions of a human girl. An otherself. Her name was now emblazoned on the tube she was stored within. "Dead Master" Yes... Dead Master. Black hair, almost bleached white skin, green eyes... though now they were shut. As if she was sleeping. For she was, stasis was like sleep. The masked figure turned away. Little could be discerned about her. Her voice indicated she was female, and what little could be seen of her body did as well. The translation devices used widely by Shadow Eternity made it so, well, while there was an accent it was only somewhat noticeable, so if she came from a specific location on some specific it was difficult to discern. The cloak kept most of her hidden, the mask hid her face. The Leader of Shadow Eternity, it seemed, did not desire her identity to be discovered. And yet she had espoused her ambition to destroy the UMMA by gathering countless resources, to eliminate the organization that prevented the work of so many. It seemed such an ambition had inspired many. It was as she had hoped. For her goal could only be achieved with the work of so many others. A goal far, far beyond what it seemed. The darkness of Shadow Eternity's main laboratory made it a good place for her to think, especially alongside the new... acquisition.
