DIARY ENTRY 4: Report

The next day, Ichiro was back on his desk, analyzing carefully the evidence that he had gathered, when suddenly, a figure was again sneaking up on him, and covered his eyes.

"Guess who?" a sweet voice that Ichi knew entered his ears.

"Ana... I know it's you... what is it that you want?"

"Well for one thing, this..." Anamiya answered, then kissed him.

"Uh... thanks, I needed that..." Ichiro answered gleefully.

"And this... you're needed in the director's office..."

"Okay then... tea time later, same place, same time, okay?"

"All right then, later..." Ana again kissed him, and left the scene.

The director's office was the civil seat of defensive power in the base- actually in the entire Terran sector- planets and all, even though alien immigration was still limited by the 'prejudice law'- the law formulated after several attempted invasions of Earth, most noted are the "Gatekeeper Incident" that the defense agency AEGIS brought under control and the Kyrelian invasion the pressured the forces- the Internal Galactic Security Forces (SF for short) to reveal themselves in what was now known as the "Unveiling". Now, five years after the event, elite and high-ranking soldiers of the SF- commonly called "Agents" are now either respected or feared. Ichiro entered the room and closed after him.

"Well what do we have?" the director asked him.

"For one thing- we may have found a match... or exactly our persocon"

"Explain it to us..."

With a bow Ichiro began his report.

Ichiro points to exhibit A, the tag plate

"This tag plate is embossed in a graphical cipher known as 'Graphic A', a special encryption of sensitive data from high command to its subordinate bases. It is rarely used, and only a few people can read and write it outright, among them, Dr. Pfelhausen. I ran the cipher on the computer and it read 'IRIS System Ver. 10.6 Included, Chobit A. If found and decoded, remove and throw away the included disk to operate simple.'"

The director nods, and Ichiro now points to exhibit B, the paeksis reactor

"I've also found this, a paeksis reactor. This model is amazingly similar to the energy cells that power persocons, so even trained non-SF experts can't even tell the difference between the two. It's unusual that this reactor is running hot... and you know what a hot biological- paeksis reactor can do..."

"Yes... I know... it will adapt to the situation..." The director replied.

"Already some major changes are happening as we speak. For example, her positronic brain (the same as any other persocon) will begin to gather information and store it in its- her memory. The cognitive skills will develop, gradually developing her vocabulary to..."

"I know that already!!! Now move on the next exhibit..."

Ichiro nods and points to exhibit C, the "super weapon"

"This is by far the most shocking discovery. By the looks of this, this weapon could only be the Magnetic Anomaly Generator (MAG) that Dr. Pfelhausen developed. It can cause the magnetic field to either weaken or intensify at will. I wondered why this weapon is in that persocon's interior..."

"Well then, you have the case... diary and all. You better provide me with some answers. Luckily, the first priority has already been dealt with, and time is not important."

"First priority?" Ichiro asked.

"Yes, it seems that the disk that you've found is a very important copy of IRIS's OS, thank you very much... ah and one thing, here!!!"

The director threw Ichiro a package. With that Ichiro left.
