*back at shinji's base, it would appear shinji had spent several restless days attempting to put all the data together to truly find out if Mordric was actually kirina*

... Damnit... A lot of this lines up, but there are several holes still to fill..

Evie: *walks in carrying Sera in one hand and a cup of coffee for shinji in the other*

Hey.. You doing ok?...

*sets the coffee gently on the table beside him, and places a hand on his shoulder*

- ...yeah, just a little stressed...

Evie: well, I have some good news, Mierno decided to join the EDB, in fact, he's been bolstering our troops with energy infused weapons. They should help against the EDB.

-*smiles at Evie, then sees baby Sera*

...can I hold her for a little while...?

Evie: you needn't ask permission, she is your daughter, after all.

*laughs slightly*

- *smiles holding his daughter*

.. Such a fragile thing... I'll protect you with my life.. Daddy loves you Sera,.. Always remember that..

Sera: *giggles, holding his fingers on his right hand*
