(A/N: Let me address a few issues here. One, why is the network still in danger? Well it's like a universal government in the sense that it's easier to travel and cooperate, but it's also way more easily corruptible. Secondly, why is Lan still in fifth grade as well as his friends? You saw last fic what the netbreakers were able to do to a server or database. Not so Obviously, they tampered with everyone's grade info and got everyone sent back a grade so as to deter people from trying to fight them due to their young age. They just happened to end up in the same class again. Third, why isn't the info all cannon? Simple. Plot convenience. And fourth, when does this war against the netbreakers take place?! It all started pretty much right where the anime left off. Speaking of which, they really need to finish dubbing it into English…..well, enjoy.)

Several months after the battle with the netbreaker boss, everything seemed to be back to normal…well, normal for Lan and friends that is. They were walking home from school together

"So T, what do you and the other vocaloids do when the network isn't in danger?" Asked Yai.

"Well we still hold concerts and hang out. There's one big issue though. Why are there so many viruses still around as well as navis mysteriously vanishing again. It's just not right. Yamaha is even loading tracking codes into us as of last week. But they just don't seem to work and instead made us harder to track" T said worriedly.

Tori looked around, then back to her. "I wouldn't worry too much. Maylu and lan both saw you smash the motherboard holding the netbreaker's leader's data."

"Say, I've always wanted to go take a tour of Yamaha. Can you two show us around?" Dex asked her.

She thought for a moment, putting her hand to her chin. "Um….I do have to go in for an update….I guess you can come with. Just don't eat the Cafeteria's Curry. Lan made that mistake a while ago, or mention project humaloid" T replied.

"You get updates?" Asked Yai.

"Well naturally. Why?"

"I really want to see how that's done" She said.

T turned and looked at her. "Unfortunately, your family's company will have to pay a huge sum of money to Yamaha If you try and mimic our technology. So don't try it. Like even if you take a picture of the things you might see, you'll get into a legal case."

"Fine…." Yai grumbled.

T led them to the building. "Hello, welcome to Yamaha. Please fill out this paperwork to continue" said the receptionist. T took the papers and ripped them up. She showed a holographic symbol from her gauntlet.

"You really need to chill out Terminal. I'm just playing" said the lady at the desk as she let them pass.

"I'm not" T replied angrily.

Dex looked to face her. "Uh, hey, is Miku here? I really want to date her."

"Sorry, but Miku wouldn't date you, even if you were a navi" She told him.

the building had almost transparent Dimensional area walls covering various doorways.

"Why are there dimensional areas all over and why can we walk through them?" Tori asked.

"Vocaloids are staff as well. We need to be able to access the building as freely as the human workers. Some areas are restricted but the commonly shared ones aren't. Like over there" T said as she pointed to Macne Nana who was walking into a room holding a stack of file boxes. Macne leaned her head around the boxes and grinned.

"Hey T, catch" she called as she moved the stack so the top box fell towards T who smiled and caught the box.

"Hey Macne, you know these are your own update notes, right? What would have happened if they had spilled all over the floor when you attempted that?" She asked her.

"Oh shoot, you're right, leave the box by the door" she replied quickly, walking through it. T placed the box down and led her group away.

They arrived at the room with the pod beds after going up an escalator and through a pair of double doors.

"Ah, hello Terminal. I see you got the message we sent" Said a middle aged lady in a white lab coat. She had a clipboard in one hand and shoulder length black hair tied in a bun behind her head.

"Yeah, I mean I didn't want to ignore it and these guys wanted to come along so I didn't really have a choice" T replied.

"Who's she?" asked Dex.

T smiled and put a hand on the lady's back. "She's an update specialist. Denise here is one of the people who manage our updates and associated processes."

"Miss Denise, what happened to Project MPPH!" began Tori before she covered his mouth.

"I said don't bring it up around here man!" She whispered.

"It's fine Terminal. I worked on it, remember?" Denise told her. T slowly uncovered his mouth and baked away, muttering about him being too curious about confidential information.

"So all I can say is that we stored it away in a warehouse. Terminal, Maylu, and lan are some of the select few who know the exact location" She said.

T tapped the scientist's shoulder. "Um, can we move things along here Denise?"

"Hey, can we watch her get an update?" Asked Yai.

"If It's ok with her then I suppose it's alright" Denise answered.

She led them inside the room and began to type some things into a keyboard connected to an update chamber.

"What are these things? It looks like some sort of alien mothership or a cloning lab" Dex said as he looked around. There where were a few rows of capsules which consisted of elliptical, glass dome covers, an irregular hexagonal indentation with sides the sloped up at 235 degrees to the bottom. These were lined with a few vents, black panels, and some orbs about the size of a tennis ball. The backs had currently unlit tech vector lights covering them.

"These are the update Systems. A vocaloid lays down in the bed and it downloads their update. They seem to enjoy it quite a bit" Denise explained.

"Can I try?" Tori asked.

"Absolutely not. The last human to attempt it was cooked like a deep fried chicken tender, minus the crust. These machines are highly dangerous, seeing as if they are activated, they close and lock shut until the procedure is complete. The glass is a carbon nanotube based one and it cannot be broken so if you truly wish to end your lives in the most excruciating way possible, go ahead" she said.

Maylu, have you gotten your update already?" She asked to which Maylu nodded. "Good. T, please lay in here" she said. T lay into the bed and It's cover closed. She shut her eyes and relaxed. the orbs on the sides shone brightly while the bed was filled with fog. They could see the vector lines through it, which were shining in various colors.

"So is this gonna hurt her at all?" Yai quizzed, clearly interested in the foreign machinery.

"No, as I said before, they enjoy it quite a bit. Just ask Maylu" said Denise.

"So Maylu, what's it feel like?" Dex asked her.

"Well it's warm and comfortable…the rest is hard to explain. I'll admit I was pretty nervous my first time but it was actually enjoyable" she replied.

The cover of the bed opened again and T walked out of the steam. She straightened her blouse and adjusted her bow.

"Much better now. Thanks Denise, see you later" she said before leading her friends away.

She took them through a few other rooms and then to the cafeteria.

"Whatever you guys order here, don't eat the curry form the shop right there" she said before turning to Maylu.

"So you wanna preform for the school tomorrow?" She asked.

"Maybe….why?" Maylu asked.

"Eh, long story short, there's a fundraiser tomorrow and they need music. But hey, it'll be your first performance so I won't go too hard on you" T said. Maylu thought for a bit, Then nodded.
