Neptune: So...
Vert: What?
Histoire: I'm afraid so.
Noire: Wow...
All the CPUs sat around a table.
Histoire: This new kind of monster holds very high danger levels.
Blanc: Why exactly?
Histoire: These monsters are known as "glitches". They are physical manifestation of glitches.
Neptune: How are they created?
Histoire: I don't know.
Blanc: So what's so dangerous about them?
Histoire: They take similiar forms to whatever is closest to them for however long they like, this includes humans.
Vert: Ah, so they can take the form of humans.
Historie: That's not all. They also form their own opinions, unlike most monsters. Meaning if they intigrate themselves among the humans of Gamindustri...
Noire: They could create more shares..?
Histoire: Precisely.
Blanc: How is that a bad thing?
Histoire: The fact that once adopting belief in a CPU, these monsters send shares to the sharicite, only, the shares are glitched.
Blanc: Hmm?
Vert: Glitched shares?
Neptune: I don't get it. What's so bad about glitched-up shares?
Histoire: They can cause complications in a CPU. If so much as 1% of total shares recieved by a CPU are glitched, they might start feeling sick.
Vert: I highly doubt that's the worst of it
Histoire: No, it's not. At 2.5% The CPU becomes dillusional. At 5% percent, she becomes highly dangerous to even be near, because her CPU powers start twisting.
Neptune: That's...
Noire: Far from good.
Histoire: And I have to admit... At 10%...
Histoire closed her eyes.
Histoire: The CPU has a high chance of going completely insane.
Neptune: Huh!?
Histoire: And using her own shares to force the others to do her bidding...
Noire: Wait what!?
Blanc: That can't be true...
Vert: Force the others...
Histoire: I've spoken with the other oracles... The nations will be closed off from now on, we've already began setting up perimiters.
Neptune: Guys?
Vert: Yes, Neptune?
Neptune: Should we tell our little sisters?
Blanc: I'm not going to tell Rom or Ram.
Noire: I don't want Uni worrying even more than she already does.
Neptune: But they're CPUs too, right..?
Histoire: Actually, there is a side-effect only seen in CPU Candidates... I am unnaware of the long-term effects of it.
Noire: Hmm...
Histoire: I'm still researching it.
Noire: Look, let's all head home, clear our heads.
Vert: Sounds good.
A few hours later, Neptune had fallen asleep on the couch.
Neptune: Hmm...
She rolled over.
Nepgear: Sis?
Nepgear bent down and pushed lightly on her.
Nepgear: Neptune..?
Neptune: Hmm..?
Neptune looked at her.
Neptune: What is it...
She yawned.
Neptune: Nep jr.?
Nepgear: Are you okay?
Neptune: Yeah, why?
Nepgear: When you came back upstairs earlier you seemed super out-of-it.
Neptune: Nah, I'm good, sis.
Neptune grabbed her head and noogied Nepgear.
Nepgear: Ahh! Sis!
Neptune: Hahah!
She let nepgear go.
Nepgear: Well, you seem fine.
Neptune: Uh-huh.
Nepgear: Good.
Neptune: Wanna play something?
Nepgear: Mm-hm, sure.
They sat next to eachother.
Histoire: Those two are as calm as ever...
Histoire watched them.
Histoire: I guess thats an up-side of having Neptune around.
-...
-Seriously! We're good.
-...
-Come on, don't give me that!
-I'm just worried about you.
-That's fine, we're gonna be okay.
-I'm not to sure... Should I come over?
-Nope, we're gonna be fine, Histy's got it for us.
-O-okay, just... Tell me if something goes wrong, 'kay?
-Yeah, sure thing.
-USER DISCONNECTED-
Noire walked into her office.
Uni: Sis?
Uni was in it.
Noire: Hmm? Yeah?
Uni: You've seemed a bit... Off, today.
Noire: No, I'm good.
Uni: Have you been sewing again?
Noire: You know I haven't had time for that recently.
Uni: I see. okay.
Noire bonked Uni's head.
Norie: Don't worry so much. Let's go and do something fun.
Uni: Okay, sis.
Kei: I guess it's a normal way CPUs act when they aren't worried.
Kei watched them, oracle of Lastation, she knew how to read Uni and Noire.
Kei: I kind of envy it.
-Hey, you there?
-Yeah, haven't talked to you in a few days.
-Don't worry about it Noire. I understand if you're busy.
-Okay, I won''t.
-I heard what's going on over there.
-Oh, you mean the-
-Uh-huh.
-Okay.
-Tell me if something goes bad, alright?
-Okay.
-USER DISCONNECTED-
Blanc: Hmm...
Blanc typed something on her computer.
Ram: Sis?
Ram suddenly popped out from behind it.
Blanc: Oh, don't scare me like that, Ram.
Ram: Are you okay?
Rom came out the other side.
Rom: You've been eyeballing your computer since the moment you came back.
Blanc: I'm fine. But you have a point, I should-
Ram started running around.
Ram: Can we do something fun!?
Rom: Can we?
Blanc: Okay then, girls.
Blanc stood up.
Blanc: Let's go.
They were watched by their oracle as well.
Mina: Hmm... I suppose it is better Rom and Ram don't know...
They left the room.
Mina: But maybe we should be a bit more worried...
-Hey, I haven't spoken to you recently.
-Yes, I'm sorry i never contacted you, I've been busy.
-It's fine, I have a lot of work to, Blanc.
-It's okay, it'll clear up.
-Can I come see the girls when it does?
-Yeah, I'm sure they'd be happy.
-Okay, thanks.
-...
-Uh...
-...
-Blanc?

-Huh?
Vert walked out of her room.
Chika: Ah! Vert!
Vert: oh, hello, Chika.
Chika: Vert..?
Vert: Yes, Chika? What's wrong?
Chika: Will you be okay..?
Vert: Hmm?
Chika: Please tell me you'll be okay.
Vert: Oh...
Chika: Vert?
Vert quickly hugged Chika.
Vert: It's gonna be okay, Chika. Everything will be fine.
Chika: Vert...
Chika put her arms around Vert.
Chika: i never knew how confident CPUs were...
Vert let go of her.
Vert: It'll be fine.
Chika: They never give up, and that's why I respect them!
Chika: Mm-hm! Right.
-Hello?
-Yes?
-I heard what's going on there.
-Oh, yes, it's a bit high-stress, but we'll be fine.
-I'm sure you will.
-Right.
-Call me if anything happens.
-Okay.
-Bye.
-Goodbye.
