"Hello, and welcome to Nature World!" A petite blonde wearing khaki exploration garb and
a pair of dark sunglasses said, smiling at the camera.
"My name is Midii Une and I will be your host. Today we are exploring the wilds of the
suburbs of Coloney L4.97165. Please join me on this exciting journey!"
She set off down a carpeted hallway, the beige material on the ground causing little sound
to be heard.
"Holy--Come! Look at that! Get a close up of that!" She motined to the camera to zoom in
on a footprint in the fabric.
"That," She squatted down on the ground next to her find, "Is, I belive, the footprint of a rare
species of homiosapian. The scientific name for such a creature is Justus Maximus, but is
commonly called 'Wufei', or just 'Fei' for short. Now," The camera closed in on her find, "You
can tell this footprint belongs to this specific species because of it's shape. Notice it's
pointed tip and the way it is pressed so far into the ground. In fact, because of it's depth
towards the front, I think that this creature was in a hurry, probably chasing after something."
The camera followed her as she stood back up.
"Justus Maximus is at the top of the food chain in these parts, sharing this position with it's
close cousin, Perfectus Soldiarium. It is very dangerous, so I recomend tracking them with
only extream caution," She began to follow the trail of footprints along the ground.
"You can see that it was headed this way, I belive it was chasing it's prey, usually a smaller
species of Homiosapian whch, if we are lucky, we will see later today."
She went back to studying the footprints.
"He made a turn here, spun around, lept over this chair, landed, struck," She gestured to a
large indentation in the wall, "Missed, was in turn attacked, fell over, and wandered off this
way, upset and cheated out of his catch."
She walked to a closed door, the pressed her ear against it.
"Just as I suspected. He is in here," She said, pointed to the door.
She slowly opened it, motioning for the camera to follow her as she made her way inside.
In front of her was the Chinese pilot, sitting crosslegged on his bunk, a pair of headphones
on and loud music blasting out of them. He had his eyes tightly shut, but stiffened when she
entered the room.
"At this moment we are entering the teritory of the highly teritorial Wufei," She said in
hushed tones.
"Be quiet, he can hear us, but we don't want to startle him."
He opened his eyes, glaring at her, but she continued.
"Careful, now. He has noticed our presence and just sent us a warning not to get much
closer. We will stay over here,"
He closed his eyes again.
"So as not to disturb him,"
His entire body rose and tightened.
"Because our number one rule is to not harm the wild life."
His head snapped over to look at her and he pulled the headphones off his head, resting
them around his neck.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to relax, here!"
"Oh, wow!" She said, excitedly, "It seems that it has made attempts to communicate with
us! If you notice," Midii said, bending down and pointing at the headphones, "He has
lowered his frill; which serves as a sort of defense mecinism. A kind of 'you can't see me if I
can't see you' thing. And the call it made, I belive means, 'I'm a pretty woman, won't you
hug me?'. Or something to that extent."
The camera jerked and backed up a few steps.
Midii continued.
"Oh, now we've gone and made it upset, poor little bugger. As you will notice, it has
extended it's talons or claws, as you might call it. Now," She called to the camera, which was
quickly moving away, "It's nothing to worry about; the most that could happen to me is a
small scratch."
As the camera continued to move further away, Midii frowned.
"Oh, all right. I'll go. But I really did want to explore his habitat; you realize what a rare
occasion it is to be allowed in here?"
She said, standing up and walking out of the room, leaving behind a puzzled and annoyed
Wufei, Kantana drawn and raised.
Standing back out in the hallway, Midii spoke cheerily to the camera once again.
"Since we found the preditor we had been tracking earlier, let's see if we can find the
creature he was stalking."
She backtracked her way into the living room where she once again came upon the
footprints she had decoded earlier.
"Here is the footprints of 'Fei...Now these, over here," She said, pointed to a different set of
lighter footprints, "Seem to be the footprints of it's quarry."
She studied them for several seconds, her brow furrowed in concentration.
Finaly, she spoke.
"Juding by the pointed toe and the size; a little smaller than Justus Maximus, I belive these
are the footprints of the American Shinigami, commonly known as Duo. It is fairly common in
these parts, but still relitively rare."
She stood up and began following the footprints.
"The American Shinigami is easy to track because of it's habit of marking it's territory. Let's
see if I can find an example... Aha!"
She pointed to a scribble on the wall in pencil.
"This is an example, although it is also fond of leaving behind 'trophies' from past kills. You
see," She said, stopping outside a door and turning to the camera.
"It is not at the top of the food chain in these parts, but still poses a threat to the other
homoisapians living in this area, even the ones technically above it."
She pulled the door open and strode inside, the camera following.
"However, it is perfectly safe to aproach, so long as you do not provoke it. Here!" She
said, gesturing to a braided boy digging into the refridgerator in front of her.
"This is a fine example of a male American Shinigami! Observe it's sleek brown coat, one
of it's trademarks. The long mane is thought to be used as a way to attract females, along
with the feats of strength and agility common to all homiosapians. As you will notice, this
specimen is currently stalking it's prey: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."
Duo turned around, sandwich in hand.
"Hey, Midii! What's with the camera?" He asked, pourig himself a glass of tap water.
"He is at the watering hole, quenching his thirst. Notice how he never lets his catch out of
sight,"
As she spoke, Duo's sandwich lay next to the sink from which he was getting the water.
"This trait saves him from having to share his hard-won meals from other homiosapians who
also come down to get a drink. In fact," She said, pricking up her ears and turning to face an
adjourning door, "If we wait long enough we should have another species or so come to us,
without us havning to move at all."
She smiled, "Isn't that convienient?"
As she finished speaking, the door opened and Heero Yuy walked in, striding to the fridge
and opening the door, pulling out a carton of milk.
"Hey, Heero!" Duo said, gulping his water, "I thought you had locked yourself in your room
by mistake, I hadn't seen you for so long!"
The camera rolling, Midii said, "Here we see a rare species of homiosapian. It is the distant
cousin to Justus Maximus I mentioned earlier, Perfectus Soldiarum. This species is one of
the strongest and most powerful in these parts, right up at the top of the totem pole, so to
speak. It is interesting to note that this species also has a sort of beneficiary relationship with
the American Shinigami. It won't attack this particular species unless espesialy provoked,
and even then it rarely unleashes it's full power."
Heero stared at her.
"What is she talking about?" He asked, turnign abck to Duo.
"No clue," Duo shrugged, "I have a feeling she's insulting us, but I really can't figure out what
she's saying. I think she thinks she's that Croc Hunter guy or whatever."
Heero nodded. He opened the carton of milk, drinking out of the carton without a glass, then
wiped his mouth on the back of his hand and spoke again.
"I need to finish this paper. Don't bother me." He then turned around and left, putting the
milk back on his way out.
"As you may have noticed, this animal is very reserved, prefering not to share his territory,
and constantly keeping track of the others inside his bounderies."
Duo rolled his eyes, walking past her and out the door, waving at the camera and slamming
the door behind him.
"There is one more known species living in this area," Midii said, walking out the door herself
and down a hallway, "A very friendly creature, fairer in flesh and fur than the others, and
called Rebabra, commonly known as Quat."
She flashed a grin at the camera before opening a door to reveil a teenaged boy seated
on a swivel chair in front of them, busily typing away on a computor and talking into a phone.
"Here you can see a male Quat in his natural habitat, busily marking out his territory."
As she spoke, Quatre muttered, "No, no, I said buy, not sell. No! Buy! GSCP stocks down
by 20, Maria, listen. ...Are you on a cell? You are going all staticy. Oh. Oh, I see. All right,
then," He typed a few numbers into the computor, then pushed off the desk in front of him,
flying down the room and almost hit a flie cabinet, which he then pulled open, selecting a
paper from the jumbled mess inside.
"Yes? Oh, thank you Maria! Yes, tell her for me, will you? God, I really owe you one. So
can you buy 15 stock in RST? Yes, yes, that's the one,"
The camera turned away from him and back to Midii.
She adjusted her safari hat and began to speak.
"Rebarba form large family groups, usualy one male and up to thirty females all working
together as one. This is the single male, he appears to be currently communicating with one
of his many family members. Let's leave him be, although he is without doubt my favorite
of the four known species, we don't want to distract him from his work. Goodbye, Quat!"
He waved distractedly at her before turning back to his computor screen.
"Now," She said as she walked out of his room, "I think this show is over for today. I have
shown you the four known species, Justus Maximus, the American Shinigami, Perfectus
Soldiarium, and my personal favorite, Quat."
As she spoke she walked down the hallway, heading back towards the living room, when
suddenly a movement in one of the doorways caught her eye.
"Huh?" She turned around, but whatever it was, was gone.
"That's strange. There are only four known species..." A glint came into her eye and the
camera sweatdropped.
"A new species! What a remarkable discovery! I must capture it! Come along, camera!"
She said, racing off towards the now-empty doorway and looked around.
"Down here!" She set off down the passage way that it led to, kakhi vest flapping behind
her and the camera bouncing as it's holder ran after her.
"Quickly, this way," Midii glanced at the ground, "It has left it's footprints, fairly large, I'd say
the tallest of all the species by a good amount,"
She rounded a corner, darted around a table, and saw a single closed door.
"It's in there."
She grinned, slowly walking towards the door.
"Wish me luck. Camera! Follow me."
She placed a hand on the knob, slowly turning it, then opened the door and walking inside,
leaving the camera out in the hall.
Her eyes widened at the sight of her discovery.
Brushing a strand of blond hair out of her face, she breathed, "Quickly! Come get a shot of
this beauty--"
She was cut off by the animal roughly grabbing her and pulling her out of view from the
camera, then, before anyone could react, the dor slammed shut, locking Midii in with the
creature.
Midii Une was never seen again.
All that was ever captured of the creature on video was a blurr of brown fur, creamy flesh,
and a sleeve of a green turtle neck, covering the lens.
