Seeing as Haruka had so kindly logged right onto the internal network so that Michiru could access the internet, the young reporter feels a twinge of guilt at what needed to happen next. But her job called for it, and Michiru was not one to prioritize anything, even her rapidly growing feelings for the charming business magnate, over her duties.
Dialing her friend's number by heart, Michiru drops her voice to a whisper and listens as Ami Mizuno, aspiring genius at Harvard University, guides her through a complicated series of steps. Soon enough, Michiru has set up her laptop to download all of Haruka's files from the Tenoh Motors server onto an off-site data storage controlled at Ami's end. The information begins transmitting slowly but surely, and Michiru is glad that Haruka will be occupied for at least a couple hours.
Meanwhile, as the files are downloading, Michiru slips out of her empty room and makes her way towards Haruka's office. Fortunately, relying on the ever useful "Where is the ladies room?" line to get past a few curious secretaries, Michiru is able to situate herself at Haruka's chair without a problem. The aqua woman laughs quietly to herself - Haruka was right that her office was a total mess.
Being careful not to disturb the files too noticeably, the journalist begins taking pictures of the many documents that are spread around the office. Emailing copies of each photo to her own email and to Ami, Michiru soon catalogs the entire collection.
Slipping out into the hallway, Michiru heads swiftly back into her spare room. Seeing that the files had successfully transmitted, she unplugs her laptop and returns it to her oversized purse. Closing the command screens, Michiru opens up a regular web browser and logs into her Vancouver Post email account. There is not too much in her inbox, though Setsuna has finally reviewed Michiru's story on Haruka and approved it for publishing.
Minutes later she hears a knock on the door, and Haruka steps into the office. "Babe, I'm exhausted. How about we forget about meeting anybody else today, and just head back to the hotel? Get some room service, use the jacuzzi, all that good stuff?"
"Sounds delightful," Michiru agrees with a smile. "I just finished up here anyway."
