Toji had received an e-mail from his friend in America about him visiting for a moment, it didn't really say why but it had to be something important.
In a short while after getting the e-mail and preparing the guest room ready his friend, Kaiohte, had arrived on his doorstep with the news that his parents have been severally beaten and placed in the hospital. Soon Dexter appeared and just made things very complicated.
A hour had passed and a bit of rearranging Toji, Kaiohte and Dexter sat in the center of the guest room.
"Okay," Dexter said. "Let's go over what happen again, you came home and you found your parents beaten to near death and your mother said?"
"Aenisis," Kaiohte finished as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"The maker of Chemical X?" Dexter asked, "what do they have to do with this?"
"Your guess is as good as mine," Kaiohte lean back and stared at the ceiling. Deep within he was restraining his emotional rage for a benefit of a doubt, he didn't want to place him and his parents in any worse danger.
"This has to be connect to a strange movement of illegal uses of Chemical X activity," Dexter said. "What type of work your parents were in?"
"My parents' line of work?" Kaiohte said a little stunned, "'tou-san is a man that works in a media station; he fixes the equipment there and 'kaa-san is a news reporter... Do you think she stumble onto something?"
"Maybe," Toji said. "But let's not play that angle until it has more of a solid connection."
"I guess the best thing to do is investigate Aenisis," Dexter said. "But let's wait before we do something like that, it could be a little rash to go chasing a non-solid lead."
Kaiohte wanted to say that his mother would never send him on a wild goose chase, but of course his parents normally wouldn't get almost get killed. It could be a weak lead.
"Maybe I should investigate the doings around here," Dexter said.
"Makes sense."
Six months ago his family ran off away from Townsville in fear of the outbreak, but he fixed up his most advance computer/robotics system into a portable weapon and a companion.
He had shaped it into a oversized cybernetic wolf, complete with metal plating and a red orb in the center of it's chest. The system used is called S.O.U.L., and right now it was the only thing Susan Astronomicom has to fight with.
