[center][h2][color=ffffff]NANOHA TAKAMACHI[/color][/h2][/center] Nanoha delivered an extensive report, detailing every circumstance of the mission, to Private Minami as soon as they came back to their apartments. She made sure to「Seal」the item left behind by the suspicious man, before handing it to the Private for further investigation. She also made a formal request for a TSAB and JSDF joint operation, in order to supply Nanoha with the needed apparatus for her to operate as efficiently as possible. After that, she used the rest of the time she had to rest, check on Vita's situation and take a closer look at the media this world had about her, in order to confirm a few doubts she had ever since she fought Yukari. After going through all she could get her hands on, Nanoha was almost certain that this was far more complicated than they being fictional characters given life and sentience all of a sudden. The rabbit hole went deeper and Nanoha was now, determined to find whether or not it was truly bottomless. Furthermore, she couldn't simply turn her back to a world that was facing such an unprecedented crisis. Both as representative of the TSAB and as a person she had an obligation to help as much as she could. [center]❖ ❖ ❖[/center] "Tenshi-chan, please calm down. I know how you must feel, but this isn't the time for this kind of attitude. I'm sure you'll have the chance for a rematch soon. But for now, please calm down," Nanoha said, placing an arm in front of Tenshi to get her to back down. Supposing that the short-fused angel complied with the requests to not escalate the volatile mood even further, Nanoha pulled her hand back, before placing it over her chest. "It's an honor to meet you all, I'm Captain Takamachi Nanoha of the Time and Space Administration Bureau or TSAB for short. I believe that you are all aware of our current situation, so I'll cut to the chase," Nanoha said in a way that resembled Chrono's business-like mannerisms. "Are there any of you who command Dimensional Travel related magic or similar abilities? After we fought against a person named Miss Yukari Yakumo, I came to the conclusion that there's more to this incident than meets the eye but my magic is far from enough to elucidate it. If any of you could offer any help, I'm sure we could all go back home as soon as possible." "Regardless of being able to help or not, I'm deeply thankful for your cooperation," Nanoha added before bowing respectfully. [center][h2][color=ffffff]METEORA ÖSTERREICH[/color][/h2][/center] "So, it's just as I have theorized. Miss Yukari and Altair, the two of them seem to be at the crux of this incident," Meteora thought out loud as soon as Nanoha finished her request. "Ah, forgive my rudeness. I'm Meteora Österreich, librarian of the Kunst Wunderkammer, better known as the Sage of the End of the World, or so I'd say normally, but given my circumstances, I'm uncertain what's the best way to introduce myself. If you want more information, please watch the anime called Re:Creators, I'm sure you'll find it very ironic," Meteora said, quickly correcting her own absentminded lack of manners. "To answer your request, I'm—or was— able to perform such magic as the one you mention. However, since this world doesn't operate like the one I came from, I'm unable to access those powers," she said before drawing the Book of a Thousand Miles from under her mantle. "The knowledge is still here though. Just like you, I believe that Miss Yukari and Altair, perhaps along with an unknown third party, are the key to solve this mystery. If we can get to the bottom of this plot, I may be able to assist you." "Anyway, is there anything else to add?" Meteora asked as she steped back, giving the word to whoever wanted to speak next. [center][h2][color=ffffff]Yatogami Tohka[/color][/h2][/center] [i]"I don't get it. Why did this have to happen? Why do I have to be alone again? Why do people always lie? This just makes no sense at all,"[/i] Tohka thought as she walked through the semi-deserted streets of Tokyo, after having escaped from the Diet building and wandering around for the whole night. "Where is everyone, anyway? This is just like back then," she said as she looked around. The city was in complete chaos and shambles, after all that happened in the past twenty-four hours. Tohka hadn't even found something to eat in the previous night. She was now, both hungry and alone in a place that she didn't know anything about. This was really just like the time before she met Shidou, except that she wasn't being attacked merely for existing... yet. "I don't like this world. I just want to go back home," Tohka said as she finally found a vending machine on an empty street, covered with a ton of what looked like randomly placed piles of ash and a chaotic scenario. [i]"It's also too dirty around here,"[/i] she thought before walking towards the machine and trying to see if it would at least take her money and give her some food.
