"Yes? Ah, hello there Tabane."

...

"Yes, I do recall what we had talked about earlier. The 001 Core being in Byakushiki."

...

"Still haven't found a reason as to why Ichika can use the Infinite Stratos huh?"

...

"Well I am glad to hear it. I'll talk to you later."

*Clank, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap*

"Hello there STARIS Councilor."

...

"Yes, this is a secure channel."

...

"Yes, it is possible for her to be tapping into this conversation as we speak, but being the child that she is... It is like a parent cleaning up after a child's playtoys."

...

"No, I do not like saying that the IS is a plaything, but with the Akitsubaki around, policy about the IS will shift towards Japan for the time being."

...

"No, this seems to be a standalone project that Tabane has created. No other scientist has contacted me about how this."

...

"I do not know where she had gotten the materials for the creation of that IS, considering that it is beyond the stipend budget the UN gave to her."

...

"I'll have my trace on it soon enough."

...

"Indeed, both subjects of the Silver Gospel Incident have been recovered."

...

"As always, I am the first of the Three..."

...

"Thank you. Janus, out."
