Neptune: Guys!
Nepgear and Histoire heard Neptune from the other room.
Nepgear: Huh?
They came as quickly as they could.
Neptune: Noire isn't waking up!
Histoire: Huh!?
Nepgear: What the goodness!? Why?
Neptune: I... I don't know!
Histoire: What were you doing in here in the first place?
Nepgear: Oh, she was cuddling with Noire.
Neptune: I was?
Hisstoire: Ugh... Neptune, you must've sleep-walked again...
Neptune: Oh, heheh, woops.
Nepgear: Who cares, it's pretty clear we have some sick CPUs here.
Histoire: If they are to sick to go home, Then what will happen to Lastation?
Nepgear: Don't worry, I'll talk with Kei later.
Neptune: okey-dokey, but, what about Noire and Uni?
Histoire: They can stay here as long as they need.
A few hours passed and Histoire was studying the glitches effects on Candidates.
Histoire: Hmm...
IF: Miss Histoire?
IF walked into the room where she was.
Histoire: Yes, IF?
IF: Me and Compa came over to see how everyone was doing.
Histoire: Ah I s-
IF: I'm assuming Noire and Uni got sick from those shares.
Histoire: Hmm? How do you kn-
IF: Neptune didn't keep her mouth shut.
Histoire: What!?
IF: Go ask her yourself, she actually had good reason.
Histoire: Okay, I'll take your word for it for now, where is she?
IF: She's out there playing games, like usual.
Histoire: Thank you.
Histoire: Neptune!
Neptune: Huh? Histy, why the sudden outburst?
Histoire: Now isn't the time for an innocent act, why did you tell IF and Compa about the glitched shares!?
Neptune: O-oh.
Neptune set her controller down and stood up.
Neptune: I had good reason.
Histoire: Then tell me what that reason was.
Neptune: Okay, one, they're my friends, I can trust them with info like that, two, IF is a guild member, she could help look through the city for them.
Histoire: Hmm?
Histoire's face lightened.
Neptune: And, uh... Three.
A tear ran down Neptune's face.
Neptune: Do you know how hard it is for me to act like I'm fine to Nepgear all the time!?
Histoire: Huh?
Neptune: She's a perceptive girl, she knows when I'm feeling down. I had to tell someone how I felt Histy!
Histoire: Neptune...
Neptune: So is it really so bad that I told Iffy and compa?
Histoire: No Neptune, it's fine.
Histoire dinged.
Histoire: Ah, the research is done.
Her eyes went blank for a moment.
Histoire: Strange...
Neptune: What is it?
Histoire: The side-effect on candidates... Causes... Odd effects that I would never expect.
Neptune: Hmm?
Histoire: If both candidates mutually have about 5% received shares they... Switch bodies.
Neptune: Huh!?
Nepgear: Kei?
Kei: Oh, Nepgear? What are you doing here in Lastation?
Nepgear: I came to talk about helping Lastation.
Kei: Hmm?
Nepgear: Noire and Uni got sick at the Planeptune basilicom, I wanna help Lastation in their place.
Kei: Ah, I see, although some citizens may be confused by your presence flying around Lastation.
Nepgear: No, I look close enough to a Lastation CPU if I use my Judge processors.
Kei: Okay, I forgot about CPUs equipping different processors.
Nepgear: Yes, what is the first thing I need to do.
Kei: For now, just get yourself acclimated to our basilicom.
Nepgear: Okay, thank you
-Hey, you there?
-Yeah, what's up?
-I'm starting to get really worried about you guys.
-Huh, why?
-I just got news about Noire and Uni from your dimension.
-Oh, well, don't be worried.
-Neppy, I really think I should come over.
-No. Not yet, seriously. We're okay.
-Peashy wants to come to, we have feelings to, Neppy.
-I... Uh...
-Neppy?
-...
-Neppy, you there?
-...
-USER DISCONNECTED-
-Ugh... Neppy...
Noire: Neptune..?
Neptune: Hmm? Yeah, Noire?
Noire: Are you sure about Nepgear?
Neptune: Yeah, she'll handle herself fine in Lastation.
Noire: How are you so sure?
Noire sat up out of bed.
Neptune: She's mature enough, if I can handle myself in my own nation she can handle Lastation.
Noire: Did you just admit to Nepgear being more mature than you?
Neptune: Uh, yeah, I don't remember ever denying that.
Noire: Neptune...
Neptune: Yeah?
Noire: You're a weirdo, but that doesn't mean you can't do things right.
Neptune: Oh, thanks, Noire.
Noire: No problem.
Histoire: I see...
Histoire was speaking over the phone with Mina.
Mina: Yes, we have identified our first Glitch thanks to Blanc.
Histoire: How?
Mina: Blanc used the satellite system to scan over the city, she found a strange person and went to them, sure enough when she found it...
Blanc flew down into an alleyway.
Blanc: Okay...
She turned to her normal human form.
Blanc: Hello, sir?
She tapped a mans shoulder
?: Yes, young lady?
Blanc: We've been tracking down strange people and monsters in the city, would you care to help?
?: Oh, sure.
Blanc: Good, then come with me.
She brought him to a building and closed the door.
?: Huh?
Blanc: Let's get to the point.
She transformed.
?: Lady White Heart!?
She swung at the man with her axe.
?: Whoa!
The man shifted to a copied form of White Heart.
Blanc: Found you, ya' damn glitch!
She swung again.
Mina: However, even finding that ONE, took immense effort.
Histoire: I see...
Mina: And eradicating it took quite a toll on her.
Histoire: Did-
Mina: No, Rom and Ram are still unaware, although we had to lie about how she got injured.
Histoire: I see. How is Blanc, herself?
Mina: We still have a reading of .11% percent shares resonating from our crystal.
Histoire: I wish we were as lucky... Planeptune is at .56%
Mina: Oh my...
Histoire: Yes.
Kei: Excuse me.
Mina: Kei!? How did you get on this line.
Kei: Oh, I saw Histoire, and Mina, were in a call and Nepgear here hacked me into it.
Histoire: My, how rude.
Mina: That sounded like something I would say.
Kei: I did it for a reason, I wanted to tell Histoire that Uni and Noire being sick is rather confusing.
Histoire: Why?
Kei: Lastation's resonation factor is only at .45%
Histoire: But CPUs only feel sick after 1%...
Mina: That's quite confusing...
Kei: And I'm more worried than ever now, I think out starting centers might be closer to .3%
Mina: Huh!?
Histoire: Oh, one moment,
Chika: Hello everyone.
Histoire: I patched Chika in as well.
Chika: Look at you all, so lucky with your low-resonation. Here in Leanbox our sharicite is already a whopping... .78%
Mina: Oh my...!
Histoire: That's not good...
Chika: I hate to say it, but it's because we only have one CPU, so Vert has to juggle: work, searching, and doing what she would to keep herself clean. At this point she hasn't even played a game all today.
Kei: Wow...
Mina: I was unaware of your trying situation.
Chika: That's okay, I've made a special call to someone for help.
