Amanda's face could only darken, slowly at first when the girl mentioned the details of her death, but darkened even more when the graves are shown. She wishes all the best for this girl, but it seems that this isn't her area of expertise to begin with. She needs someone with experience dealing with death, and someone that can bring her safely towards the afterlife. Someone that, conveniently enough, Amanda just met a couple hours ago.

While Micheal was busy doing the ritual and revealing the point of origin for the portal. Amanda decided to make a telephone call, walking a little bit out of the area. She did some gestures in the air and waited.

"Yeah, Madeleine? Can you come over here please? I got a dead soul that can't move on. Mmmhm, yeah, pretty much a murder by her admission. No, she's the child of a couple that went here and apparently got killed. Micheal is doing a ritual right now to entertain the girl and unveiling some hidden clues, but we don't have exorcists in our midst. Alright, thanks."

"Yo Micheal, the exorcist is coming in a quick minute. We all just need the child to stay here and... woah."

Through the song, Amanda can see the visible remnants of what was once a portal opening up. Quickly taking pictures, she made sure to post this newly acquired intelligence later on. "This, that is a pretty sizable portal for what seems like a motley operation, must've taken a sizeable amount of mana to stabilize and maintain it. This seems like they have talent, top magical talent. I better bring in Morgana and Faye here, determine just how complex this portal looks like.

And sure enough, both figures showed up quickly. The scientist and Faye woman now looking interested in the portal remnants. "Yeah, you can see how complex this portal looks like, and I expect that this ain't their only portal in this warehouse. Looks like this is a significantly bigger operation than expected again huh? Anyway, Morgana, you have a take on this? See the complexity of the portal and determine just what kind of magical techs and experience we're potentially dealing with? Maybe even determine the portal's origin point while we're at it. Faye, maybe you can assist Morgana doing this job. I know that I'm not much use here, but if you need my help in anything non-magical, like digging up stuff or preparing something. Just holler at me okay? I need to be checking the situation with Astfridur and Ross in the basement."

Quickly running towards the basement. She popped just as Astfridur and Ross are busy doing stuff. "Did I interrupt something? Did you need my help too while you're at it?" She asked, smiling at the startled duo.

Interacting with Astfridur Rumnaheim @Spekkun, Micheal Crane @BigPapaBelial

---

With Astfridur volunteering. Amanda brought her towards the left ancillary building first, a veritable shack with a padlock preventing entrance. Usually, this entails a 30 minute search for the key like something out of some bad detective story, fortunately. Amanda gripped the padlock with both her hands, and, exerting some force. Broke the padlock like it's some icecream stick.

"Whew, damn good padlock." She commented, promptly opening the door, quickly revealing a stair down towards a basement. Her interest now piqued, she mentioned Astfridur to follow her and walked down. "Remember, we're here to look for evidence, so try not to handle stuff too hard until-"

"Stop."

Both of them stopped. Amanda's face went cold for a moment before turning towards Astfridur. "Sorry if I seem heightist for this. But there is a series of tripwires in front of us and it looks like they are already armed, I know that you'd probably won't see it, but I'm blocking your view and all that." Amanda's right hand then quickly mentioned her to go slowly back. "Turn around, and watch for any further tripwires on the way out okay? Try not to do anything too rash too. I'll probably attempt to trigger any potential traps manually, metallic body and all that."

The moment Astfridur quickly left the shack. Everyone can hear a series of explosions happening underground, Amanda can only sincerely hope that nobody's too spooked to find out where she is, but she is busy triggering tripwires left and right. Oh and also landmines as well, her eyes are recording everything she's seeing. Even going in so far as looking at the mines and tripwires in detail before triggering them, making sure every last detail is recorded for further analysis. Luckily, it seems that these mines and tripwires were only located in the entrance and within the unusually long hallway that apparently linked the Left and Right shacks together. So the rooms where the evidence are stored looks to be intact, she had scanned the insides of the rooms and nothing indicates that there are tripwires in the door handles or anything, and she has a tendency to be correct in this regard.

She quickly came rushing back towards the top of the shack where Astfridur was waiting. "Hey uhh, sorry for the delay. There's quite a bit of traps down there that needed to be disarmed. I'm pretty sure I've disarmed all of the traps, and further scans indicate no more of them, but I do advise that you'd be careful. Now, how about we go downstairs again and-"

The quartet of gods and shaman trade looks. The gods can faintly hear the words. But not as clear as Micheal. Micheal turns and shouts back the way they came, "Hey! Amanda! We may have a problem here." He looks back at the spirit of the child, "I'm going to try and help you hunny. Just wait a short bit alright?" The girl nods and sits down by a crate.

@BigPapaBelial

"Yeah Micheal, what's up?" She responded back. "Sorry Astfridur, I think that you might be alone for a couple minutes on this one. Seems like that Shaman caught something."

Leaving Astfridur alone, she quickly approached Micheal and quickly realized the issue. "Ohhh... is that a spirit I see? I'm not magically attuned, but even I can see the spirit of that child. Is she... dead? Don't know if murder was something this cartel does, but... okay I guess."

Amanda was very, very satisfied with the questions and comments she received after the presentation. Now she knows that her team is solid and can complement each other's weaknesses well. She's got a good feeling in how this case will progress, she just knows it.

---

@King Cosmos

"Well there's always the frequent usage of combat spells during firefights between Mr X's gun runners and the German police. Last time I checked, there are frequent uses of fireball spells, levitation spells, and even disorientation spells at one notable engagement. I know that I am missing some other spells that they have used, but think of all the offensive spells that are in the OMR's database of attack magic spells, and you would find them used in some footage/ report somewhere."

---

@BigPapaBelial

"I've heard that you have Native American trickster gods on your control and you're a good shaman yourself right? Your chants and rituals can be useful in a support role, also, scrying, mmmm. I think seeing things I cannot discern from my analysis will be a very powerful tool when used in certain situations, can pick up some things that has been left out."

---

@13org

"Thanks Faye. I think your affinity to Portal/ Teleportation magic is going to be very useful for both combat and non combat situations, I swear, sometimes I tend to blank out whenever I was about to leave some meeting, before remembering that I have to get something again. God that sucks."

"But anyway. I think that everyone of us is satisfied with the overview of the situation yeah?" She asked, to not much response. "I'll take that as a yes. Madeleine. Do you have the cars ready?"

"Of course. You can see three black cars in the garage below specifically for all of your transport needs, let me bring you to them, of, pray tell. You can drive right Amanda? I can have 2 other drivers take the wheel. But I'm pretty sure you can drive a car yourself."

The Android could only nod. "Yeah of course! I already know the direction of the warehouse anyway, so just give me the car keys and let's go!"

---

The first car ride she had ever done in a foreign country. Gosh this is so exciting for her, the cars leased to her were also very nice, very responsive, very fast too. Sure must've cost the OMR millions to buy and maintain cars like these if the garage littered with the same model cars are anything to go by.

She does wonder how the OMR makes enough money to maintain such operations worldwide, she's not deep into finances and accounting. But all the expenses and fun stuff must've cost the OMR Billions, if not Trillions of Dollars to fund. Just how in the world is this organization even afloat?

Bah, save the thought for later. She thought to herself. We're approaching the warehouse. Get your game face on Amanda!

The trio of black German cars rolled up and parked right next to a host of various German police cars and vans. From the moment Amanda got off the car she could tell that this is massive. Hordes of magical Soviet era weapons were being hauled all over the place, policemen were taking pictures of these weapons as examples, no doubt this is a fresh crime scene. And she instructed the entire group to hang out around here while she scouted the scene.

"Just be patient okay? I have to ask the Police Officer first and scout." She said, walking towards what looked like the guy in charge, before getting his attention immediately.

"Ah, Amanda Duvais right? Heard about you from my colleagues a while back." He greeted her. "Is it true that you're an Android? I mean, you look more like a cyborg to me."

"Well, yes I am, but really, not a good time to be asking questions like these Officer. I assume that you're in charge of the situation?"

"Mmhm, yes I am. Some beat cops intercepted some people unloading weapons from a truck, and a quick firefight ensued, reinforcements were called in, the perpetrators were killed or arrested, and right now? Finishing things up, just hauling these weapons back to the station and not doing anything else that might tamper the crime scene."

"Hmmm... I think that you might wanna stop bringing some of those weapons Officer. I kinda want them analyzed and tracked. I'm an Android, and I just recently downloaded a database of all known Soviet Hand Weapons. Might be useful in situations like these. Also, can I analyze the crime scene myself? Wanna take a look into things first."

"Oh, of course!" The officer proceeded to shout some orders in German to his colleagues. And promptly they all cleared the crime scene. "All yours Agent Amanda."

"Thanks." She promptly replied. Quickly crossing the police line and entering the boxy warehouse. She then immediately went to work, blinking twice in rapid succession, turning her eye colour from red to a very bright blue. A blue ray of light then shone out from her eyes, and she started touring the warehouse. A very large building that she cannot feasibly survey completely unless she has a full day, but she doesn't have to. The ray of light coming from her eyes scanning every piece of interior the warehouse contains. Stacks of boxes, racks, weapons strewn about, she even broke the handle of the door, entering the office space inside the warehouse and scanning everything present. "Hmmm, very interesting, looks like this warehouse is capable of storing weapons fit for an entire Army Division by the looks of it, and..." She checked the computers, immediately confirming her suspicions. "Yeah, this is organized, the computers are all sort of screwed up. Computers must be reformatted when the group heard that a firefight broke out, just a hunch, but by the looks of it though. My hunch might be correct."

She then continued, scanning the office, before being satisfied and doing another round of scanning, now running all across the warehouse and ensuring every last piece of furniture and detail is scanned. "All right, I think I can present this to the team." Amanda concluded, blinking twice again and turning her retinas back to it's usual red.

Coming out from the warehouse on the side, she noticed that there is small buildings on the side of the warehouse, padlocked too by the looks of it. Curious, she quickly ran to the other side and saw a similar building on the right side of the building, padlocked as well. Now with her curiosity piqued, she quickly scanned these buildings before asking the Officer if they aren't opened yet. The confirmation from the cop and a couple of quick questions from Amanda proved her curiosity to be right.

Thanking the officer, she quickly walked and summoned the group to her. "All right, so here's the layout." She said, staring into the ground and blinking thrice now. Before a projection of the warehouse was unveiled for the group to see. "Warehouse seems like a rather major shipping area. Most likely some usage of teleportation or portal spells because the amount of weapons I've seen strewn around and being brought by the police is plain ridiculous, customs would have a field day if they even caught a quarter of these weapons shipments. I don't know where the origin point of the portal is located, but I know that it's somewhere inside the warehouse, very sure of it actually. There's also an office, but all the computers are pretty much busted on purpose, most likely the perpetrators heard of the firefight and reformatted every single computer present here, that's admittedly a guess on my part, but assuming my guess is true, there's a possibility the operations being done here is significantly larger than I thought. There's also some outlying buildings still within the warehouse complex that I haven't scanned yet, and if you can see the small buildings on the left and right. I plan on visiting them and maybe gather some clues there too. I talked with the officer and he said that those buildings haven't been opened yet, cops are too busy gathering illegal weapons that they didn't even notice the small buildings on the side."

Her eyes still peering on the ground, letting the group examine her 3D hologram. Amanda quickly opened her mouth and said. "Hey, listen, I can make a small hologram disc and put it near the front entrance of the warehouse in case you want a reference, but I don't wanna stand here all day. I wanna break that padlock of both buildings and go inside. Faye, Morgana, are you okay if I pair you up together and let you scour the warehouse in search for that portal/teleportation spell's origin point? As for the rest, eh, you can do whatever you want as long as you're doing your jobs. If anyone here wants to accompany me and help investigate the mysterious buildings, I'll be more than happy to oblige."

Blinking rapidly, the hologram closed. "Alright then, let's go!" She ordered, walking towards the warehouse with her team in tow. She has a good feeling this case will lead her towards something interesting.

The Hunt, A Modern Fantasy Smorgasbord RP

Amanda was pretty sure everyone was here at this point. The moment she saw Sigmundr and Morgana enter in, now she is definitely sure. She was told that the current team composition consisted of 9 members, with a possibility for more, nonetheless, she is sure that she can start the briefing right now.

But not before she has to get a few words with Faye first. She has gotten her attention for once, and she feels that this is going to be the few times she will actually listen to her for once.

"Faye. I have to ask, but you have the ability to create portals right? As long as you have that place in your memory, you can teleport us or make a portal towards that place, right? I heard it from your biodata, I just want to make things sure."

Getting a nod from Faye. She then continued. "Well, if so, I am wondering if you wanna be a sort of wing-girl for me. Well, a Wing-Girl for everyone but especially for me. Since I have no magical abilities of my own, I was always paired with someone with a proficient ability in the magical arts, and I was thinking about making you my personal partner for this mission. I have a good feeling that we will be involved in some very intense firefights if the potential actors of these weapons shipments are anything to come by, and I hope that you're willing to lend me a hand should the time comes."

"I was thinking about shouting some orders to you, like 'teleport me to x or y' to reposition me in some better position so that I can finish off some aggressors, assuming we're in a fight. And 'take us outta here!' being a catchall term for creating a portal back to someplace you deem safe. You ok with that right? I'll come back to you, but I have a briefing to start, so answer once I'm finished with the briefing."

Nodding to Faye and smiling. The Android clapped her hand multiple times towards the group, garnering everyone's attention. "Alright everyone, I'm pretty sure that everyone's here, so welcome! welcome welcome welcome to this case, the case of 'how in the world did Germany became the center of the European Arms smuggling industry,' trust me, I'm still trying to come up with a good Case name for this."

"Alright, so I guess a rollcall is in order. But there's myself, Sigmundr, Ullross Vallath, Faye Hayward, Morgana Faith, Micheal Crane, Astfridur Rumnaheim, Dura Mor, and Xaviron Mosley. Just call yourself out in case I didn't get someone's name."

Counting everyone's presence, Amanda promptly smiled and motioned at her secretary. "Alright then! Madelaine, do you have the presentation slides ready as I requested?"

The female demon nodded and went towards the projector, inserting a slide and turning the machine on, the first image was a photo of a warehouse busted, showing multiple Soviet weaponry lying around.

"Alright, so this was the first piece of evidence shown in 1993. A typical customs raid on a warehouse in Hamburg, a suspicious shipment manifest was found originating from St Petersburg, claiming to be carrying potatoes but for an unclear distributor. Police raided and found out it was a shipment of guns and heavy weapons. Later it was found out that there were already 5 containers that already left to god knows where, and this trend continues to this day."

"I also need to note that there is high suspicion among the OMR that some form of Portal/Teleportation spell is being used nowadays for their arms shipments."

Madeleine then puts another slide on the projector. This time showing a bunch of bullet points. "Alright, so our objective is, 1) Find out who is responsible for smuggling all these weapons, 2) Stop the weapons shipments by intercepting already in progress deliveries should we found them, 3) Find out the objective of the group and why they need this many weapons, and 4) Maybe put a stop to their objectives, because so many weapons being collected is highly unusual and reeks of some malicious activity."

Another slide was put on, this time showing pictures of Guys in motorbikes, Skinheads, and even some pictures of men and women carrying weapons. "There are three main recipients of these weapons shipments. Firstly, the militant branch of the Satudarah Motorbike Club, they're using it for extortion and other criminal activities such as heat for Drug Smuggling, secondly, various Neo-Nazi groups, you can guess why they need these guns in the first place, and thirdly, the Revolutionary Cells in the Frankfurt am Main area. Probably planning some form of a last hurrah after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Don't really know why the group is funneling these military weapons to these three groups, seems ideologically incompatible with each other, might be the point of this, but still..."

Madeleine then puts in another slide, this time showing a man in a hooded form talking with some Bikers. "This one was captured in the back view CCTV of a Gas Station somewhere in Central Germany. We suspect that this is the guy that is running this whole weapons smuggling operation. Until further notice, we will call him Mr X. If you know Mr X or have any info on him, please inform me on this. We don't know much, but we do know that he keeps his identity to himself and only to himself, even uses a voice changer spell by the sound of it too."

The lights then was turned back on. Amanda seemed to be communicating with the room itself to turn the lights off during the presentation, and now nodding, turning the lights back on. "So, do you have any questions? I think that, considering your skillsets, we might have a well balanced team for handling this case, we have people with heat, we have specialists in magic spells and investigators, and of course, a woman with a special ability to teleport and make portals should things go horribly wrong."

Just as the Android was smiling though. Her face frowned immediately, it seems that something just happened that made her very unhappy. "Alright, I think we have to keep the questions of the case to some short bursts, I just got a notice that the German Police have found another warehouse stock with weapons, and it's in the outskirts of Frankfurt. If you've got questions, better do it now."

The Hunt, A Modern Fantasy Smorgasbord RP

Amanda was so fascinated with everyone's reaction to her appearance. On one hand, she loves the various reactions of the peoples she met. She sees that the Red Haired woman was particularly interested and was talking her mouth off, asking questions about her previous job and how it feels like to be inside a spaceship, and a smattering of other questions she didn't really focused on, as that woman rapidly switched again to observing and commenting about the other agents present as well.

What a weird woman. Amanda thought, noting the fact that she outed herself as the youngest agent in the group. Just 18 on top of that, I think I might wanna be her mentor. She has great potential but obviously needs guidance.

"Miss... Faye Hayward right?" Amanda responded to the rapidly moving woman. "Do you really want to move around or do you want me to answer your questions? Yeah, the robot questions."

That seemed to get her attention, Amanda noted the changed reaction of Faye once she responded. "Alright, so, first of all, the assembly lines are still an undisclosed facility, but I can tell you that work is... hard, but worth it. We have to move reactor parts, whole engines, and a crapton of other things for assembly. But we Androids formed bonds while doing such things, and the friendships we all made after work's finished lasted even to this day."

"Secondly, unfortunately the Spaceships have artificial gravity, so no zero gravity while you're on it. The spacewalks outside the spaceships are fun though, not gonna lie. Partly inspired me to take Snowboarding as a hobby. Believe it or not."

"Thirdly, nope, no eating for me. I'm powered by a reactor core that's due for replacement in 2035. So a long, long time away in the future. Fourthly, yes, I do 'sleep', I can shutdown my core components after I'm strapped into my resting station, my Personality Core will slowly go haywire over the days if I don't sleep daily, kinda like how a human can get even more annoying if they don't sleep? Yeah, something like that. And Fifthly, yes, I can replace my parts and even disassemble them myself if given the equipment."

"Does that answer your question?" Amanda finished. But just as she was about to hear the reply from Faye, she turned her attention to Dura's question.

"Well, you don't have to, hopefully at least. My torso." She outlined her chest. "Can handle Autocannon fire for 25 seconds before breaking, and my hands are made from a special alloy designed to lift super heavy objects. So if something can destroy me, you'd better run for your lives already."

"Anyway, I guess I'll take a backseat and let you all introduce yourselves and mingle for a little while, still got some agents that haven't arrived yet. You can come here and ask me any questions you have, what my job is, what my abilities are, do I have some magical affinity. That's a hard no for that last question by the way."

She put her clothes back on after that. But soon after approached Faye as she was observing the dragon agent intently. "Hey uhh, Faye right? Can you come here for a moment? I wanna talk to you about your abilities and stuff, it might be useful if we start outlining strategies right now rather than deep in a firefight or something."

The Hunt, A Modern Fantasy Smorgasbord RP

The Android woman could only grin widely as she sees the new arrivals into the office. Quite an eclectic mix of peoples from seemingly different backgrounds. She noticed the Orc, the Native American, and that crazy teleporting lady all arriving seemingly at the same time. And she only smiled and waved in greetings to the entire group.

"Hello there!" She greeted the group, smiling widely and being as warm as possible. "Welcome! Welcome to the case! I'm sure that most of you here have travelled far and wide, and honestly I did too, but how was you journey? I hope you didn't encounter any problems right? I encountered some in my journeys, but not enough to cause significant problems."

"Hmm. I guess we should start things with introductions then. Madeleine, is it okay if I unclothed myself for them? I think they don't see me really well with my clothes on, would give them an idea of what my species is and we can start breaking ice right then."

The Demon woman could only shrug. "I certainly don't mind, but I'm not sure about the rest of the group though."

"Oh don't worry about it, I don't have much of anything underneath these clothes."

Much to the shock of the group. Amanda immediately unclothed herself, unfastening her shirt and skirt, putting them neatly in the chair where she was sitting, and revealed the mechanisms behind her arms and legs. Everyone could clearly see that she was a mechanical being, the servomotors whining very quietly as she twirled by herself and showed herself off to everyone. "I'm not sure if they showed you my origins. But my name is Unit 13K, but you can call me Amanda if you prefer a more human name. I was born in the Cleveland Manufacturing Hub in 1967 and became an OMR agent by 1985, I was formerly a labourer working in secret OMR facilities where the Spaceships were built, but our species staged a work strike after we realized that the organisation was planning for our disassembly after all of this was done. Worked out in the end, but man, that was a scary time for all of us, we were just in the mid hundreds numbers wide and there is legit fear among our members that the OMR is going to retake the facility by force. Thank goodness none of that happened."

"Anyway, I was then assigned as a junior agent until 1992, and then I was thankfully promoted to Senior Agent, handled my first case of a Murder Mystery in Los Angeles before quickly solving that and now... well, now I'm here! With all of you wonderful people. I sincerely hope that my appearance and mannerisms didn't shock you, I know that most Americans I've met are shocked to hear that living, sentient robots are now a thing, and questions based on the movie Terminator was always asked to all of us. Spoilers, no, we don't intend to take over the world and bring about the robot apocalypse."

Amanda realized that she was going on a bit of a tangent. "Sorry for that little tangent. Anyway, do you have questions you'd like to ask of me? If not, then maybe we can rotate and introduce ourselves to each other."

The Space near the Moon

Space bend by itself as a great tear was opened into the void. And the only thing that travelled in it's wake is a great indesign. A creature of tentacles, flesh, and tendrils that, while by itself wasn't dangerous. It's warped mind and it's usage of it's tendrils has led to the deaths of thousands of Star Systems. It was an abomination the likes of which Earth has never seen before, a gigantic space creature that has it's sights set into the Earth for hundreds of years.

And it is dying.

A whole part of it's body has split off it's main form. Drifting slowly into the moon, the creature could only scream from whatever orifices it has. But all it's screaming could only produce nothing. At least in it's immediate surroundings, down on the Blue Planet the riots that has broken out all over the planet intensified as more and more people, from the highest politicians to the lowest of the beggars, fall into madness. It was utter and complete pandemonium.

And that lack of coherency was promptly broken by multiple moving figures that appeared suddenly from the void. Almost as if these things have travelled a great distance in a shockingly short amount of time. The objects maneuvered around the maddened animal. Prepared it's arsenal of Plasma Autocannons, Enchanted Railguns, Shielded Nuclear Missiles, and various other contraptions that would take hours to describe, and fired onto the beast. It is becoming clearer and clearer as the beast fought back with what little remaining assets it has. Great globs of acid and cursed Spikes were thrown, only to be deflected by the energy barriers these objects possesses on it's frame. At one time, the beast could throw thousands of projectiles and overwhelm the barrier, but it was too tired and weakened by the prolonged fight that the rounds slowly drifted the creature into the moon. A crash was imminent, and both the creature and the living beings present inside the moving objects knew it, it was only a matter of time before it crashed. Creating a massive scar on the grey satellite and continuing it's helpless writhing. Even as nuclear missile after nuclear missile were lobbed into the creature until days have gone by.

The death of the creature was a torturous one, the many mages present in the spaceships having to rotate shifts in order to prevent utter madness from engulfing the entire crew. With deities assisting their great efforts by expending any mana reserves they had onto their chants and spells. Robotic Assistants, once nearly indirectly causing human extinction, now computing firing solutions and coordinating with the more fleshy members of the crew as inventories were expended and more were transferred in via portals from supply bases on Earth. It was a great undertaking, all in an effort to prevent the creature from killing all life on Earth. But it paid off, decades of research, reverse engineering, secret field trials and training has all led to this moment.

And everyone cheered as the Abomination led out one last cry before it involuntarily separated itself into many different pieces. The moon, already scarred more in these couple of days than it's entire lifetime, finally gave in to the creature, partly cracking as chunks upon chunks of moon rock flew out. The spaceships having to execute emergency maneuvers to prevent collision. But in the end, after all efforts, after all that blood, sweat and tears. The abomination is dead.

One of the Robots, a Blue Haired woman wearing nothing but it's own 'skin', could only look in awe at the sight. She was one of the few surviving Androids that could see and record the event in real time. It was a bizarre, yet beautiful sight. The moon cracking apart like that, perhaps forming a small dust ring around the Earth as the decades flow by, she felt... elated of course, but also felt like a great weight has been lifted off of her shoulders. Now, she feels that she can choose her own course in life, make some friends. And even learn from the many, many mistakes she will make in her long life.

She silently smiled at that thought, a great abomination died so that she may lived. Not a bad tradeoff all things concerned.

---

6 Years later

---

The plane finally landed. All this time on sleeping mode, being rudely awakened by the waitress, only to say no to the admittedly gracious but incompatible meal she could offer was over. Servomotors across her head moved as she could only look to the window seat to the left of her. There it is! Germany! The great green countryside broken up by the metropolis as her eye lenses focused and zoomed in. She is happy that the announcement had broken her sleep, and also not happy that she didn't just shut down. Would've saved the trouble from the waitress constantly pestering her with the meal offers. Not that she'd blame her, everyone was looking at her the moment she boarded the plane, and she expects everyone to be looking at her still the moment she lived her life here for the next month of two.

She is, after all, literally a new intelligent species on the block.

---

The passport was stamped by the confused Orc. The moment he looked at her limbs and artificially constructed face. The questions were thrown immediately, who is she, what is she doing here, how was she born, what facility were you born in, the hundreds of question about herself that she has been expecting everytime she met someone not of her own.

And she responded in a prompt manner, and in German to, significantly softening the Orc's apprehension and easing up the tension. The moment she's confident that the Orc will let her through. He stamped her passport and let her in, the two cases carrying her items were quickly picked up, and a black car with an Elf waving at her the moment she exited the International terminal took her to the only place that mattered to her right now.

Frankfurt on the Main. That great city in the Main river. She could only ask questions to the driver, fortunately a German as well on the History, the Foods, and the various sites and important buildings she should know. This is a big city after all, she wouldn't wanna miss living in Frankfurt by nosing in on her case and returning to her Apartment Block just like that. That'll be too boring and definitely not what she needed right now.

The office was also an unexpected sight. While great, imposing OMR offices purpose built isn't really uncommon in America (she remembered the LA office, a great skyscraper and a massive complex of interlinked city blocks in the heart of South Central Los Angeles), most offices were sheltered in, just a small building with some small office space on the surface, with a gigantic complex lurking below. The OMR's Frankfurt office stood out the moment she saw it. A great building that towered over her but not nearly high enough to become a Skyscraper, just a very large building off of the downtown area with many office workers and agents going in and out. She was promptly brought in and was asked to wait in a conference room. An office boy brought her drinks, she could only nod and thank him but didn't drink the water at all.

All of her silent waiting paid off when a further unexpected sight entered the office room. A lady wearing a white buttoned up shirt and matching black pencil skirt, accompanied by very long hair and white socks.

"Guten Tag Miss Amanda Duvais. I am so happy to greet you! Please, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Madeleine Disir. I will be your Secretary working from today and I will be more than happy to be your guide towards this Great German City! Of course, what do you expect from some 500 year old Demon who has travelled all of Germany, nothing less!"

Amanda already liked her already.

"Yes yes! Well, hello Madeleine. As you can see from the notice I'm an Android. I am sure that you have so many questions about me, how do I operate, where I was born, how the hell the OMR kept my species a secret for so long. Please, I'm more than happy to share!"

"Oh nonsense madam." Madeleine smiled as she declined the offer. "I think I will keep my questions for myself until we finish the roundup of all agents assigned into the task, I'm sure they will be even more surprised than I am when they meet you, the notice to me mentioned your full info, but I am not sure what the other agents were given info on, it's very well possible that all agents under you didn't even know that you're an Artificial Lifeform! I think it's best suited for them to ask the questions and let me take the backseat for once, I've seen many things in my life, but seeing fellow living beings in genuine shock always, always impresses me."

"Oh, well, then so be it! So when is the first agent coming? I've been told that they are quite literally sourced from all over the world?"

"Well, I'm not sure, my supervisor told me that they should arrive in 2 to 6 hours, but there are many agents and they are all over the place. It could be very well in the night when we meet the full team, maybe even longer! I highly suggest that we get comfortable and maybe order dinner should this prove to be too long."

13K could only nod at the Demonic Lifeform's suggestion. "I like your idea, and I will ask what food this city's famous for and maybe order up. But first? How about a short game of show and tell? I've never met a German Demon in my life and you've never met an Android I'm willing to bet. Don't worry, we'll focus on OMR topics and less on our lives, what do you think?"

"Oh, I would be more than happy to oblige."
