Chapter 1: Bad News…
Inside a city in a desert…
"So you are taking over the duty of Diplomat?" Otto asked as she gave a sigh of relief.
{That isn't everything, we will tell you more when we get there.} A male voice replied closing the link.
'Wait that was a normal ship… unless they are going through dimensional space they wouldn't dare use one.' Otto thought as she left her room.
As she entered a stairway…
"Hi puppet-boy." Otto stated as she walked by Kankuro.
"I have a name." Kankuro muttered as he glared at her.
"I know and it is Make-up-boy." Otto stated as she snickered.
"It's war paint!" Kankuro shouted as he went to attack her.
"Kankuro that is enough." Gaara stated as he walked up to the girl. "You shouldn't rile him up."
"It is too easy to do that." Otto stated as she looked at the teen. "So how do you like your new position?"
"It is boring." Gaara replied as he sighed. "My lack of sleeping has helped with the bane."
"Paperwork… the bane of any leadership position." Otto stated with some distaste. "I've had my fair share of those evil things."
"I can tell." Gaara stated as they got to the doors.
"So what have you guys found out?" Otto asked as she looked at a researcher.
"That it is very old." One stated jokingly. "The rock formation that is the walls of the village was formed when this impacted with the ground."
"Oh… so it is deeper than we actually thought?" Otto asked as she placed her hand on a wall and a door opened up.
"I wish you didn't touch anything, Sergeant Takamachi." The leader of the research team stated as she walked up. "Every time you touch something down here a new area opens up."
"Sorry." Otto stated as she looked at the new door that lead down a long hallway. "If you want I can check this one out, and I promise not to touch anything."
"Alright. I'll let it go since I'm short handed today." The Leader replied as she looked at a screen.
"Sure, Xion." Otto stated as she walked down the hall. "I'll call you if I find something."
"Seal it first!" Xion shouted.
"I'm not my Uncle!" Otto replied back as she went down the hall.
"Long story?" Gaara asked as Xion nodded.
In the hallway…
"Stupid place reacting to me." Otto muttered as she walked down the hall and stopping at a large twin door that opened as she walked up. "Damn, well… I can say I didn't know that there was a door here." Otto stated as she pulled out a green gem. "Shadow Wake up.
[Standby Ready.] Shadow Heart replied as it formed a staff. [There seems to be an energy reading in the room.]
"Kay." Otto stated as she walked into the room and lights came on. "That's new."
{Otto… hear… re… ck… port… b…} Xion stated as her image has some interference.
"I can barely copy that, could you relay that?" Otto asked as the screen blurred out and the image faded. "Shadow Heart can you contact Xion's device?"
[Negative.] Shadow Heart replied.
"Crap." Otto stated as she started to head for the door and it closed on her. "Hey open up."
[Tiden for aktivering er kommet. Slipp den lagrede enhet.] the room stated getting a sigh from Otto. (The time for activation has come. Please release the stored device.)
"I don't have time for this." Otto stated as she looked about the room. "And I don't see a device."
[Enheten er lagret i midten av rommet. Det ble utformet i tilfelle dette stedet ble oppdaget av vår leder Dame blå.] The room stated as Otto then saw what it was talking about. (The device is stored in the center of the room. It was designed in case this place was discovered by our leader Lady Blue.)
"If I take it you will let me get back to the others… Wait, Lady Blue? My mother's name is Nanoha Takamchi, not some Blue." Otto stated as she walked to the case.
[Takamachi? Du har blod av Dame blå. Leder av vår Kirke av mor. Det er ingen feil.] The room replied before the case opened and a blue gem rested on a pillow. (Takamachi? You have the blood of Lady Blue. The leader of our Church of Mother. There is no mistake.)
"I'm like my aunt then, two devices." Otto muttered as she picked it up. "So what is the name?"
[Kaos hjerte.] the Blue gem replied getting Otto to look at it. (Chaos Heart.)
"What is with my family and that one word in our device names?" Otto muttered as she pocked it and moved to the door. which still didn't open. "I have the device."
[Er det en feil i systemet. All strøm til dette anlegget har blitt avsluttet. Feil skal det være mer strøm. Alle systemer viser en mangel på energi. Beregning av forventede power grid feil. Strømbrudd på 100 %. Dette ikke beregne. Aktivering av restaurering protokoller.] The room stated making Otto blink pull out the gem. (There is an error in the system. All power to this facility has been terminated. Error there should be more power. All systems show a lack of energy. Calculating projected power grid failures. Power failure at 100%. This doesn't compute. Activating power restoration protocols.)
"Could the power failure come from this being removed?" Otto asked.
[Utstyret ble lagret med ingen strømforbruk. Minimalt med strøm ble brukt til å åpne tetning. Systemet skanner avslører at tre av den geotermiske ventilene har blitt tettet. Magma kammeret har avslått.] The room replied getting Otto to sigh. (The device was stored with no power usage. Minimal power was used to open the seal. System scan reveals that three of the geothermal vents have been sealed. Magma chamber has declined.)
"Great…" Otto stated as she sat in a chair.
{Otto, finally I got through.} Xion stated as the screen appeared with no interference.
"Hey Xion." Otto stated as she looked at the exploration leader. "I'm stuck in a room at the moment."
{What! I thought this place was constantly opening the place for you.} Xion stated annoyed,
"That was my thought too. Turns out the room I'm in lost power, so I have to wait at least for some power to restore for the door to open." Otto stated as she leaned into the chair she was sitting in. "So has the new diplomat arrive yet?"
{That is why I was trying to reach you. You have a family emergency, and they sent in a high class military cruiser for you. I'm not sure what is going on, but the entire crew is male.} Xion stated with an odd look. {My sister was supposed to be on that ship… wait she is what! That's not good… Sorry I guess I'm to report back… wait I'm not allowed back but she is… Of course I'm not seeing anyone… why is… Sorry Otto, but I got to cut you off.} Xion stated as the screen cut.
"You heard that?" Otto asked as the door opened making her eye quirk.
[TRUKKET strøm fra main motor.] the room stated as Otto just smirked. (Pulled power from the main engine.)
"Thanks. Sonic Flash." Otto stated as she blurred and reappeared in the main room. "What is going on?"
"Sergeant Takamachi, are you dating anyone at the moment?" A man asked as he looked at her.
"No, not yet at least, I want a boyfriend… but I'm waiting on that." Otto stated getting several to blink.
"I though she would be like her mom." An explorer stated quietly.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Otto asked as she sighed.
"Good, we'll tell you more on the ship." The enforcer stated.
"I'm not getting on a ship till I'm told what is going on." Otto stated annoyed. "You told Xion that I had a family emergency but you haven't said what it is."
"You wouldn't believe us." The enforcer stated as he looked to the side. "Some of the facts are still surprising."
"Cut to the chase." Otto stated as her hand went to her pocket.
"Your family is pregnant." The enforcer stated in a deadpan.
"Yeah… right." Otto replied as the enforcer revealed a screen. "A Klarwind report… on my mom!" Otto nearly shouted as she read it over. "I'm going to be an older sister… wait… Mother too… DEED! Okay… I really didn't need to know that." Otto muttered as she looked it over. "Okay, you proved your point. Why am I being brought back."
"Stars Six, you are to return to base, and take command of Stars team till further orders." The enforcer stated as Otto tilted her head. "Yes?"
"What about Stars Two?" Otto asked getting a chuckle. "Three and Four too… Dare I ask about the other two?"
"Out of the Stars team, you are the only one still active, besides the reserve members." The enforcer stated as he sighed.
"I'm the only one not pregnant in my squad?" Otto nearly shouted as she had an eye twitch.
"That is correct." The guy stated as he started to back away. 'Knew we should have gone with the communication to tell her.'
"Fine, I'll go." Otto stated as she blow out a small breath. "But when the team is back on their feet, I want back."
"Not my place to say, that would be up to your commander." The enforcer stated with a shrug.
"My family, besides Sun Three, are the only ones that can open the place up." Otto stated as a white glyph appeared under her. "There better be a good reason why this happened."
A/N: Will Otto find use for this new device... and how does the Takamachi's have this Lady blues blood... Will Otto stay the only one in Stars that isn't pregnant or will she be safe... Why did Harry pull her back from the dig... Will there be repercussions of the find that Otto made... And Who does Otto like... What will happen next...
