Prologue

Satomi Hakase opened her eyes as an alarm clock sitting on her dresser began ringing out, pulling her from her sleep state. She shut it off as she looked around the unusually empty lab she was so very accustomed to. Wondering where the equipment she had laying around could have gone

She took a brief glance around until she realized that she was in her dorm room, sitting in the bottom bunk, her black hair frizzled and all over the place, sleeping in nothing but her underwear, not even bothering to put on her PJ's, and her roommate having left earlier, leaving a plate of cold eggs and bacon.

It took some seconds for her to realize that for once, she decided to take a break from her work at the university laboratories, and go to her dorm room for a good night's rest for the first time in a while. Of course sleeping in the workplace like some cliché was a norm for her, only natural for a revered super genius like Satomi, wanting to advance her studies and projects like any ambitious person would. Until last night at least, for a reason that she had already forgotten.

As Satomi got out of bed she began to think to herself about why she had left the lab for her room, not that she didn't mind it. As she got out of bed, she began to think to herself of her reason for leaving the lab, but dismissed it as simply getting out of her rut, or just wanting some comfortable sleep. Until she slipped on her skirt. She felt a lump in her skirt pocket, very normal as she carried wrenches and screwdrivers with her. This one, however, felt small, circular and with a chain attached it. Wondering what it could be she pulled it out. But when she saw it the same time she felt a wave of memories, and guiltsuddenly overcome her.

"I'm sorry." She whispered quietly, putting it back in her pocket. After finally putting on her vest, and sat at the table to silently have her breakfast. When she was done she put the plate in the sink and walked out the door. She looked at her Segway and decided to walk to class for the day, hoping to make herself feel better. As she came across the corner, she thought she caught the glimpse of a blue box, but simply dismissed it.
