"Nigredo, how have thing's been going?" Helmer asked from his desk.
Gaignun glared at the man before him.
"Helmer, it's Gaignun, not Nigredo, and I'm afraid the foundation's been threatened by the U-TIC....again. I thought it best to warn you just incase they decided to attack 2nd Miltia again." Gaignun grimly stated.
"I see. How did this happen?" Helmer asked. Gaignun sighed and explained about the whole "peace negotiation" thing, "...It seems like the U-TIC is getting bolder by the day. At this rate it's only a matter of time before they awaken...U-DO. That is, unless the Federation notices the spies within and tries to stop the U-TIC, and get rid of those spies. Vector, 2nd Miltia, and the Kukai Foundation can only last so long. I would've thought the Federation saw this by now, what with the U-TIC framing us, and Proto Merkahba's recent reawakening and destruction." Helmer sighed. Gaignun chuckled.
"Jr.'s always been saying things like that, even before this whole fiasco with Proto Merkahba, Albedo, the Zohars, Vector, the 100-series proto-type, and so on." He said with a slight smirk.
"He has has he? Interesting....if you don't mind me asking, how has he been? I haven't seen him in awhile, not to mention Albedo's back again..." He trailed off.
"He's fine. Though, he was rather irritated when I commanded Captain Mathews and his crew to take Jr. back to the Foundation. I guess Jr. told them to wait here until he can go back. I've noticed the pilot and navigator wandering around the foundation."
"I see...well, it's been nice speaking with you, old friend. We've already tightened security since The whole Proto Merkahba incident. I'll tell you if I learn something about the U-TIC's new plans." Helmer said.
"Thanks, I appreciate it. I'll tell you if we find anything else out as well." Helmer nodded and the screen turned blank. Gaignun let out a sigh and slumped back in his chair, "It seems the Song of Nephillim just marked the beginnings of our troubles."
"WASHU!! We've been wondering around fro HOURS! What are we supposed to find?!" Ryoko growled. Everyone groaned in agreement. Washu just sighed and rolled her eyes.
"C'mon!! It's good exercise! Besides, who knows where Kagato is, right? We should find him before he tries to destroy this place." Washu said.
"The foundations meeting room." A voice stated.
"Wha?!" Aeka exclaimed as everyone turned around. They were surprised and slightly worried when they saw a 16-year-old boy with silver hair and translucent blue eyes.
"You said you were looking for a man named Kagato. He's in the foundation's meeting room with Gaignun Kukai and Gaignun Kukai Jr. I believe they're talking about peace negotiations." The boy said. Azusa eyes him suspiciously.
"And how do you know this, boy?" He asked. He shrugged.
"I passed the room. I heard some yelling, something about 'not surrendering', It sounded like Gaignun Jr.'s voice." He explained.
"..Hmm..What's your name?" Washu asked. He smiled at them.
"I'm sorry, my name is chaos, yours?" He asked to everyone. The Tenchi group exchanged nervous glances, unsure of what to do.
"..Sasami, my name's Sasami." She said with a smile.
"Sasami! What are you doing?! For all we know this boy could be a spy for Kagato." Aeka hissed. Chaos just blinked in confusion from the accusation.
"A spy..for Kagato? Actually, I'm part of the crew of the Elsa, a small ship that took Gaignun Jr. here from 2nd Miltia. We're waiting for him to finish what Gaignun sent him here to do, that's all." He explained.
"...My name's Washu!" the red haired scientist exclaimed. Now she was getting surprised looks.
".Uhh.well..I guess since Washu and Sasami trust you..My names Tenchi Masaki."
"Yosho."
"..I can't believe I'm doing this...Ryoko."
"My name is Aeka."
"Kiyone and this is Mihoshi my partner." Kiyone said as she gestured to herself and the frantically waving Mihoshi.
".My name's Misaki!!"
"Funaho, it's a pleasure to meet you, chaos."
"..Hmph, Azusa."
"and this is Ryo-oki!" Sasmi said as she held out the furry creature.
"I see, well then, if you don't mind me asking, why are you looking for this Kagato?" chaos asked.
".......it's..a long story." Washu carefully said. Before chaos could ask anymore questions, another voice was heard,
"Hey chaos, there you are! Master Gaignun wants to see us." Mathews said as he spotted chaos.
"alright, I'll be there in a minute!" he called back. Mathews shrugged and walked away, waiting for him outside the alleyway.
"Well, I'd best be off, but, before I go....here. I believe you'll find it useful." Chaos quickly said as he handed Washu a small Vector computer, "I got it from a friend of mine. They gave it to me a while back. I believe it'll be much more useful for your..cause. Good luck." He said as he ran off leaving behind a surprised..group.
"What is it?" Mihoshi curiously asked as she peered over Washu's shoulder. Everyone curiously crowded around the scientist, each of them eager to find out what the new mysterious stranger gave her. Washu studied it for a while, before carefully pressing a small button. They gasped in surprise as a mirage of images flooded through the mini screen.
"Whoa...what is it?" Kiyone said in surprise as the images continued to show one of a blue haired battle android sucking in a bunch of strange whale looking things (Gnosis ships.) from atop a ship. One of a big white ship like thing blowing up a fleet of smaller ships around a strange floating colony, and another of the same blue haired android cracking the glass from atop the ship saying something. A strange battle in some tunnel like thing.(Hyper space.) The next one of what looked like the insides of something, the ship casually flying through the insides, as if it were looking for something and yet another image showing the big white ship like thing crumbling to pieces and heading towards what looked like Earth, and the last one of the ship crash landing onto.Earth? Then, finally the images stopped, leaving a confused and curious Washu behind them. Taking their knowledge down with them.
A/N: ^_^ I liked this chapter. As for the whole "image" thing. I wrote it from the Tenchi gang's point of view, and the "memories" from the Elsa. That's why there's no Encephalon flash backs. The Else wasn't IN the encephalon. Get it? Anyways, please R&R, thanks!
