Here it is, another short chapter. I'm working on the rest, so enjoy!

CAVE DRACONIS DORMIENS

1900 Hours, AC 205: Sanq Kingdom. Personal Database of Yuy, Heero.

Vice Minister Dorlian very upset after my actions this afternoon in Mission New Clothes (see Database AC205SecMis, file dxt2001x3.txt). Return to Base precipitated "bitchfit" in words of Duo. Thus, am not certain it is wise at this juncture to antagonize V.M. with further news before Sanq Charity Ball. Noted information follows:

Have located card of suspect who approached V.M. today, and preliminary search seems to indicate that he is not currently a threat to her. In fact, he appears to be notorious for his pacifist stance on world issues—a published and rather famous professor. Hn. Must be a first, all other candidates for V.M.'s interest have been in security business for some reason. This may be due to inability to find free time—or better options on her part.

Card was actually retrieved by Dorothy Catalonia, and after VM vacated premises out-of-sorts, was offered chance to "redeem myself" with resultant blackmail that all security footage concerning Relena and her new …Candidate will be able to be viewed by D. Catalonia at any time. With consideration of all variables (Anger on V.M.'s part, time and expense in attempting ID match from mall security cameras with Preventers' database) have acquiesced to these demands, with the addendum that all footage must never leave the estate in any form, to prevent scandal, which might in turn cause destabilization in government or world affairs and affect the peace.

D. Catalonia agreed to these terms. Information on Candidate follows:

V.M. apparently will want this information. Method of delivery will have to be determined, as information is of a sensitive nature. Also, V.M. is unlikely to be receptive to usual oral delivery methods during daily morning briefing on daily agenda/schedule. Mission planning will commence at later hour towards disseminating this information to the appropriate people and locations. Possibly scheduling V.M. a time slot to attend lecture by Candidate would ameliorate any emotional upheaval experienced via Mission New Clothes, and any remaining tension between V.M. and Operative.

Furthermore, investigation into charges of groping by V.M will have to be instigated. Even undercover, appropriate behavior of service staff should not be dictated by sexual orientation or experience in industry field. Did not witness alleged groping incident, however, examination of security video records of mall stores should yield further information before charges can be possibly brought to level of Preventers authority/purview.

Initial contact will have to be made with Candidate by Operative. Unspecified whether Candidate will be receptive to face-to-face meeting with V.M. Peacecraft, but likelihood is rated at 87.8 on standard scale, based on previous behavior and subjects discussed by Candidate. Additional info may be found in database labeled VMCL.(suffix for db?) in dossier file Cno56.txt on Candidate of V.M.'s interest.

Thank you to the reviewers that responded! You are awesome...Yes, Duo would be better to take out for any semi-social outing...or any outing that required basic socialization. Heero's a bit of a rock that way. And yes, the plot will evolve/proceed, but keep in mind that with all the different methods of indirectly telling the story, it will not move terribly fast---as it IS told in the everyday writings/records of the characters, and moves at the speed of everyday life (which can be slow, even in the digital/technological age)! Yay! I'll be posting up to Ch. 12 probably, as I'm stuck on a section for Ch. 13 (I write them out of sequence, whenever I feel inspired by a certain character).

Cheers!
