"...and as recently proven by the 10th Nova Clash, the Nova have been appearing more and more frequently as the years go by. In response, Chevalier has officially announced that they have approved the brand new 'E-Pandora Project'; it has been officially proposed by Dr. Scar Ohara. All men are required to take a Pandora compatibility test after their eleventh birthday, and only those who are deemed compatible with Stigmata can live as Pandora; however, no one is necessarily FORCED into being a Pandora. That said, some men want to become Pandora, but CAN'T due to being incompatible. The E-Pandora Project seeks to implant artificial Stigmata into ordinary men and create new Pandora. This is a groundbreaking approach; however, not EVERYONE is open to this approached; namely, Head Nova Specialist Dr. Aoi Ginger, as shown in this interview..."

"Dr. Aoi, can you please comment on your opinion about the E-Pandora Project?"

"Unfortunately, the project has been officially approved, so I cannot express my opinion at the moment."

"Should this Project succeed, will these volunteers be considered Pandora?"

"..."


At West Genetics, the Faculty members, including Young Kim and Elgar Schmitz, stood before Father Marco.

"So, as you might've already heard," said Father Marco, "the Chevalier have selected a four Pandora of West Genetics to take part in the E-Pandora Project at the Alaska Research Facility. The chosen Pandora of West Genetics are...first-ranked fourth year Clifford Fairchild, second-ranked fourth-year Elliot Mably, second-ranked third-year Satellite L. Bridget, and unranked third-year Ra's Linchen."

"Wait! You mean we're sending TWO third-years?!" protested Young. "And Satellite of all people?!"


"Hi, Kazuha-chan! Satellite-san!" greeted Ra's at lunchtime. "So, how was Bali~de arimasu?!"

"It was GREAT!" said Kazuha. "I got you a souveneir!" She handed him a package wrapped in wrapping paper.

"Wow, thanks~de arimasu! What about YOU~de arimasu, Satellite-san?!"

"*GROAN*" Satellite didn't say anything; he didn't even eat his hamburgers, he just looked away and remained silent while smoking his cigarette.

"Satellite-san! What's wrong~de arimasu?" asked the concerned Tibetan Pandora boy. He reached out his hand and grabbed Satellite's shoulder to—

*PUSH*

"FUCK OFF!" Satellite pushed Ra's back upon being touched.

"Geez, Satellite-san! What's gotten into HIM~de arimasu?"Ra's asked Kazuha.

"I...REALLY don't we should talking to him about that right now," said the Japanese Limiter girl.

"Oh, sorry~de arimasu..." said Ra's sadly. "Anyways," he suddenly shouted with a bright smile on his face, "did you hear the news~de arimasu?"

"What news?" Satellite asked as he looked back at the Tibetan Pandora boy.

"Some Pandora have been selected to take part in this new Project called the 'E-Pandora Project'~de arimasu! And guess WHAT, Satellite-san! You and I have been chosen to take part in it~de arimasu!"

"*INHALE*—WHAT—*COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *GASP*" Satellite inhaled some smoke into his mouth, but upon hearing what Ra's said, inhaled a TOO much and began coughing. "WHAT did you—*COUGH* *COUGH*—just say?!"

"In one week from now, you and I are going to take part in the brand new E-Pandora Project in Alaska~de arimasu! AMAZING, right?!"

"Wow, congratulations, you too!" cheered Kazuha. "I'm so happy! Although I'm REALLY gonna miss you both because I don't—"

"You know they're Limiters are required to accompany their partners, right?" asked Ra's.

"Oh, really? Well...that's GREAT!" Kazuha said as she smiled at Satellite.

"Yeah, I guess," Satellite said as he nervously smiled back.

"HEY, you DID hear me say that I've been chosen too~de arimasu, right?" asked Ra's angrily. "Sheesh! Those two have been very close to each other, even before going to Bali~de arimasu...WAIT!" Ra's suddenly made a square mouth as his eyes were covered in shadows by his hair as he realized something. "They...They COULDN'T have..."


(Alaska Research Facility)

"Dr. Ohara, the Pandora you've requested shall be arriving next week," said a scientist right behind Dr. Ohara.

"Finally, it feels SO good to get official backing...now we can openly use our Pandora," said Dr. Ohara; Dr. Scar Ohara had mauve-colored hair and wearing his lab attire.

"Yeah, but we have to hurry and give the higher-ups some good results..."

"Don't worry. We've got ALL the data we need. We haven't been able to get Genetics to operate with us for a long time...and now our positions reversed, we can finally have some fair competition around here, right?"

"I suppose..." the other scientist said before leaving.

Once the scientist was gone, Dr. Ohara smiled as he looked up at some large cylindrical glass containers, and inside these containers were a bunch of human males in stasis. "Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh...enjoy your time for NOW, Aoi Ginger...for soon, we'll see who TRULY superior!"
