Before the Butcher and the rest of the Machina soldiers in the hangar had a chance to fire upon the sneering Henry, a tall pale man emerged from the hangar doors on the opposite side of the conflict as he commanded them in a phlegmatic, yet stern, voice. His smooth palish blonde hair shined underneath the extensive neon lights that lit the hangar as he approaches in a white and purple priest-like robe. He wasn't alone however, as two [url=https://cdn6-thechristianpost.netdna-ssl.com/full/122754/ultraman-anime.jpg]suited guards[/url] escorted with him, both standing slightly behind the figure as they flanked his side and rear guards. The man silently waved his hand to the grunts that were pointing their guns at Henry to stand down, including the other four-armed robot that was nearby. They acknowledged as they continue to go about their daily business. 

It ought to be anything but easy for an ex-demonic entity to quickly gain the trust of everyone here... but alas was the reality of the Nexus, where very few can be trusted. 

As his guards stand put, the figure's face begins to lighten into a friendly smile as he looks down at the... rather short person.

[b][color=lightyellow]"Greetings Avaritia,"[/color][/b] he says in a calm welcoming tone, [b][color=lightyellow]"I believe we haven't met properly yet. My name is Constophiles, Director Karizawa's advisor for this facility. You are permitted to call me Consto for short. He was supposed to meet you here, but unfortunately unscheduled business prompted him to leave just an hour ago. So I'm taking over his place while he's gone."[/color][/b]

He pauses as he lightly clears his throat.

[b][color=lightyellow]"Now,"[/color][/b] he continues as he slowly extends his hand, [b][color=lightyellow]"Enough with the formalities. I was told you were sent to retrieve several Angelic artifacts for us..."[/color][/b]

With Henry's departure from the mountain, Titanica was able to retrieve the goat leather for herself and move on. She was still rather perplexed with Henry being in a contract with the Eel, however she didn't care much for that deal. He was otherwise in the same boat as her, which surprisingly he didn't seem to question such a possibility, only he was working for a different vassal and he in turn was also not a Vassal. She only thought that Hoho was the only person to embark on such a quest. Perhaps it was lucky of her to have Henry not figure out her true intention with the goat, but the fact that he played it smart was enough to make him look rather competent. Either way, he isn't a threat to her... at least at the moment.

Within a span of several hours, Titanica soon collected the other two components for Hohenheim's contact. She first encountered a nesting Roc guarding her precious eggs and proceeded to exterminate the mother. Luckily for the bird, one of her feathers became dislodged and fell to the ground. After retrieving the feather, the Vassal simply left the scene, leaving the mother to continue caring for her unhatched brood. It was only luck that spared the Roc from becoming a deep roasted-ready meal. The Vassal finally entered the ocean depths and completely annihilated a giant squid, ripping out the final component of the contract. The squid's ink sack.

With all the supplies in tow, the Saurian Vassal makes the long trip back to the hot springs where she initially met Hoho. She also recalls meeting the cat-lady... what was her name again? She didn't quite remember. But it doesn't matter now. Once she gets to Hoho, Titanica plops down the black goat's skin, the Roc feather, and the squid ink impulsively.
