Author's Note: Hey, so while I wait for various entries for The Contractor of Haruhi Suzumiya, I'm also going to work on this. This is not a challenge like Contractor is. This is a story that I'm actually going to write and complete. This is, for all intents and purposes, a Fix Fic. Simply put, the idea that Precia Testarossa works for the TSAB eliminates the less traditional Magical Girl aspects of Lyrical Nanoha, making it something at least closer to your traditional Mahou Shoujo story. Of course, this being Nanoha, and the SciFi take on Mahou Shoujo being what made me fall in love with the series in the first place, it still doesn't go all the way, and it certainly doesn't fix the problems present in A's and StrikerS.

Alright, let's get done with the prologue, shall we?

Precia Testarossa looked over her results.

Her attempt to recreate Alicia had failed, and had created Fate, instead. There was nothing she could do. Sure, she could try Lost Logia based technology, but those projects always ended in failure. There was no way she would risk Alicia by doing something so reckless.

She had exactly one other option.

Turn herself in to the TSAB.

Once she was let out of prison, she could start working as an official scientist. She could work on official projects, and use TSAB resources to work on reviving Alicia. Fate could become an Enforcer. It meant waiting longer, but Precia had time. As long as she used no magic, she could live another decade, and her sentence was not a decade. Three years, perhaps.

And so, she made preparations.

"Linith, Fate, we're going to Midchilda."
