"Is this the place?"
"Yes, general."
"Well, let's go."
As the men buzzed the doorbell, it was soon answered by a young woman in her twenties.
"Kimi Nishino?" a distinguished American man with salt and peper gey hair and a black suit that screamed government ask her in English.
"Err.. yes?" the girl replied in the same language with little accent. She seemed weary for some reason.
"I am here about the mathematic formula you published a few days ago. We would like to invite you as a civilian consultant for a joined American Japanese military project."
And now she seemed calmer. "But my math was about multidimensional physics."
"Well, ma'am, our chief scientist was so impressed, after stumbling into it, that he got us real interested. We will, of course recompense you well for your time, but we need an answer now, so if you could pack…"
"Pack? Just how far is your base?"
"Very . But you won't regret it, trust me. None of those who signed up for our program did. It's an exciting and engaging work. We could call Dr Kusanagi to confirm if you want.
"You mean the doctor Kusanagi that-"
"The very same. So, are you in?"
The woman asked for details, and received some of them, though most were classified.
O'Neil figured it to be a swift recruitment until-
"And what about my boyfriend? I can't just leave him alone!"
"Miss, Nishino, While a student deserving of the high praise he received, Your boyfriend, one Nishiki Nishio has neither a security clearance, nor a documented history older than five years ago. And unlike you, he is not a mathematical genius."
"No! When my family died in a plane crash, I was all alone, and he didn't leave me.
I won't leave him! You will either take both of us, or I will have to reject your offer."
One of the other men had his cellphone ring, as he answered, he apparently received unpleasant news.
He called the old man and Kimi heard him talking to her would be recruiter.
"General O'Neill, sir, we can't wait much longer. Protocol washout will activate soon."
The man (General?!) stood pondering for a few moments, before turning to the girl.
"Know what, we don't have time! If you get him now I will have the paperwork waiting for us. But you start immediately!"
Author notes: this one crosses Tokyo Ghoul with StarGate, with the premise that Kimi Nishino is a brilliant math whiz who got noticed by M'Key.
