Well, I've not too much to say at this point, other than "enjoy the next chapter!" XD

Kira woke up the next morning, and was about to head downstairs for breakfast and coffee, but she happened to hear Sam talking, followed by Star responding sarcastically to some things she was saying.

"Heh... I think it really suits you!" Sam said.

"Oh, I bet it does..." Star responded, clearly aware that Sam could not hear her.

Kira decided to investigate Sam's room, making her way back across the upstairs walkway. She wondered what they were doing.

"Aw, you look so cute in it!"

"Yeah, I know. Aren't I always cute?"

Kira peeked in through the semi-open door, and saw that Star was wearing a pink T-shirt with a red heart on the front, and blue jeans. There were holes cut in them for her tail and dorsal tubes. It appeared that Sam was dressing her up or something.

Kira opened the door, and both Sam and Star looked at her.

"Well, what's going on here?" she asked, smirking.

"Well..." Sam began. "...I figured maybe Star could use a new... look. So, I just decided to let her have some old things that I don't wear anymore."

Star nodded. "Yeah, I've always wanted to know what clothes feel like."

Kira examined the clothes that she was wearing... and happened to notice what was right underneath the T-shirt.

"...A bra? For real?" Kira asked.

Sam shrugged. "One of my old ones... just figured she'd need a way to keep her bust firm!" she said, chuckling.

Star, however, was pulling at it.

"But... I really don't like how... binding it feels." she said.

Kira figured that it was nice for Sam to interact with her Xeno family to know what they were like... even if her methods were a bit unorthodox. Still, as long as Star and Aster were okay with it, Kira did not have a problem with it. Plus, at least they were now pretty comfortable around each other.

"Well, you two have fun!" Kira said. "I have to head to the university for some classes today. You think you can manage without me?"

Sam nodded. "Totally."

"And I often help her interpret what Aster and Star say, so that she can effectively communicate." SORIA said.

"Oh," Kira said, caught off-guard by the sudden interjection once more. "well, thanks SORIA."

With that, Kira was off. She had quite a few classes to take care of for the semester, going full-time. However, fairly soon, after a bit of training... she would be able to go on space mission. She has recently gotten word that her first mission would be for a satellite launch.

(XXXX)

Shortly after some of her classes, Kira spent a bit of time in the library. She was simply working on some material for some projects, not bothering anyone else... but then trouble arose soon enough.

"Well now..." a girl's voice came. "...look what we got here!"

Kira looked up to see a group of girls walking towards her as she was sitting at the computer.

Kira narrowed her eyes. "Andrea..."

"What's the matter, Sykes? You just sittin' here pathetic and alone? What, don't got yourself a guy to go out with? You just wanna be a loser all your life and not be any fun?" Andrea asked.

It was Andrea Barlow, the president of the Gamma-Kappa sorority.

Why do I always have bad run-ins with sorority presidents...? She might be even worse than Ashley was... Kira thought.

"I don't think you can go around judging people you don't even know!" Kira said.

"Oh, well I just did! So I can!" Andrea said.

Kira glared, but all of the sorority student just laughed.

"Anyways, if you were part of our group, you wouldn't be having this problem! Because we'd help you to stay away from all the stupid bums and bitches at this campus!" Andrea said.

"...I think I can tell who's really a stupid person on my own, thank you very much." Kira said.

"Good," Andrea said. "because there's no bitches like you allowed in Gamma-Kappa!"

"That's it! I'm out!" Kira said, storming off from the computer just after logging off.

She made her way out of the library, away from the laughing, bratty group of sorority girls... however, there had been someone, or rather something, else that had been watching them...

The com-synth of Kira had managed to spot what the real input on the computer. Immediately, the clone made her way into the library to the closest available computer, and input Kira's username and password. At that moment, Andrea happened to spot the Kira clone.

"Not givin' up, huh?" she said, making her way over to the clone.

The clone looked at Andrea briefly, just before returning to what she was doing on the computer. Right now, she was trying to access information about Kira, namely where she lived, as well as contact info... all of which Meyers was planning to use. However, she was facing some... human difficulties.

"Oh, you think changing your hair and your clothes that fast makes you think everyone sees you as another girl?" Andrea asked.

The Kira clone simply dismissed Andrea... up until she started waving her hand in front of clone-Kira's face.

"Helloooo? You still got a brain in there? Oh, wait... you never even had one to—"

Andrea stopped speaking right as the clone, without even the slightest change of expression, grabbed her wrist... hard. She pulled Andrea's arm out of the way of her face, and slammed it to the desk.

"Ow! OW!" Andrea shrieked. "Get her off me!"

The other sorority members rushed over and tried to pry the Kira clone's arm away... but they could not get her to budge.

"Stop! Let her go now!" one of the students said.

The clone complied and released Andrea. All of the girls quickly rushed away, leaving the clone alone to do her work. She began to access Kira's school files, looking through all of the folders. When it could not find anything, it accessed the school database. Using the information from the quantum supercomputer from which she had originated, the clone managed to input a master password for the student databases.

Once inside, she looked up Kira's name, and was able to identify her address and phone number. The Kira clone then began to remotely transmit this information back to the supercomputer. With the job done, she logged out of the computer, and prepared to stand up to leave... but someone else decided to interrupt her.

"Kira Sykes!" an instructor said as they approached.

Knowing to respond to the name, the clone looked back at where it was coming from. The instructor grabbed the clone's arm, making her stand.

"Dean Vaughn would like to have a word with you..." the instructor said, just before escorting her to the administration center.

(XXXX)

The com-synth Kira was escorted to Dean Vaughn's office, where he spent a good quarter of an hour scolding her for what she had done to Andrea earlier.

"Words cannot describe how upset I am!" Dean Vaughn said. "This isn't like you, Ms. Sykes! Deliberately hurting the president of a sorority house? Why would you do this? Ms. Barlow is still very upset! She was in tears when she reported the incident!"

"...That girl was harassing me when I did not do anything to her..." the clone said in a monotone, emotionless way.

"It does not matter! You do not take matters into your own hands! You report it to a staff member or security! So, for this, I'm giving you four hours of detention in the library!" Vaughn said.

The Kira clone sat, staring at the floor, and saying nothing.

"What do you have to say for yourself, Ms. Sykes?" Dean Vaughn asked.

The clone still said nothing, continuing to stare at the floor.

"Why won't you answer me?" Vaughn demanded.

Again, the clone held her tongue. Dean Vaughn's face began to lose some of its anger, and became more concerned.

"Kira..." Vaughn began. "...has something been... troubling you?"

Kira's clone glanced up for a brief moment, and then returned her gaze to the floor.

"...Would you care to tell me what's being going on?" Dean Vaughn asked.

The clone turned her head off to the side, looking out the window. Still, it showed no emotion... except perhaps very slight anger.

"Kira, I'm here to help you. That's part of my job." Dean Vaughn stated.

When the clone continued to stay silent, Vaughn was beginning to lose his patience once more.

"Ms. Sykes... do I need to call your family to tell them about what's happened?" he said, reaching for the phone.

The clone stood up, putting her hand over the phone to stop him from picking it up. She glared at him.

"...Not my family..." she demanded.

"Let go of the phone immediately, Ms. Sykes!" Dean Vaughn said, raising his tone.

With that, the Kira clone started trying to pull the phone away from him, but he clung on to it.

"Not my family!" the now-angered clone said.

"Ms. Sykes, if you do not comply right this instant, you will be suspended!" Dean Vaughn shouted.

The clone snapped the phone out of his hand, holding it above her head... and for a fraction of a second, he saw the silhouette of the WY logo flash on her forehead for a brief moment.

"W-what the...?" Vaughn stammered.

But he did not say too much more; Kira's clone brought the phone down hard, striking Dean Vaughn over the head and knocking him to the floor. He hastily tried to press the alarm button on his desk, but the clone pinned him with her leg. She then punched him in the jaw... hard. He slumped over, completely unconscious.

The phone made an idle "busy" beeping sound that broke what would have otherwise been dead silence.

The clone then knelt down next to the unconscious Dean, placing her right-hand middle and index fingers on his forehead. Her fingers, and the spot on his forehead, began to glow a green color, generating criss-cross patterns of visible binary codes. She continued this for a few seconds before stopping.

The clone had just wiped his memory of the incident... and happened to copy a few vital memories of his own to the supercomputer, where they could be useful to Meyers...

Now that she had obtained the information she was instructed to. The clone promptly left the office, being careful not to draw any attention to herself on the way out... aside from the inhuman, robotic-looking walk and dead stare that some of the students noticed.

Well... things are getting worse as time goes on. Let's hope the heroes can come up with a way to stop these potential attacks before they happen! So, thank you all for being so patient with me! I promise to keep going strong! Keep holding on...
