Inviting the Whole Madhouse
*** Inside the Meeting Room on the Director's Floor ***
"Gentlemen, your concern is flattering but there is no need for re-enforcements. My God Eaters have full control of the situation." Dr. Sakaki laughed nervously at the multiple screens of Directors from the other Fenrir Branches, looking at him with relentless eyes.
HQ had noticed a spike in the Far East Branch's New-Type Aragami attacks from their reports. At the moment it was the only Branch area that had discovered three new Aragami species in the period of a month. And their missions have ceased to ease up like they usually did over a while. Maybe it was due to the reminiscent of the Ark Project at Aegis Island that drew the Aragami to the area, and possibly catalyst their quick evolution jump. All in all, HQ and the other Branches did not believe the lone little Branch could handle itself... at least not for long.
"Enough with your stubbornest, Paylor. We're sending you re-enforcements and that's final." Replied on of the monitors.
"(Sigh) Why do I get the feeling you're either sending someone to babysit us or just dropping one of your problems on us?"
"Watch your tongue, Paylor!" Hissed another monitor. "We do not send some of our finest God Eaters in return for your sass."
"Your finest, for our little Branch? You're making me blush." Dr. Sakaki mocked with a grin.
"Tell us, Dr. Sakaki. How is Ms. Slade doing?"
"?" Dr. Sakaki got on guard at this turn of topic. His First Unit Leader was seen as a valuable resource to HQ, at times he worried that they would do anything to get their hands on her. But then he remember her wild character that even put his eccentric and mysterious behavior to shame. She was a salvation and a bomb all at the same time, and the thought of it made him flinch even when she wasn't in the room. It was as if even thinking about her would summon her out of nowhere. "Fia is doing well, why do you ask?"
"Hm, we were just wondering how she would react to a little... family reunion."
"Excuse me?" Dr. Sakaki said in disbelief as he tried to hide his interest. Fia never talked about her past, let alone if she had a family. The mere knowledge of the info peaked a curiosity inside of him.
"Ms. Slade comes from a long line of God Eaters. Second generation and... First. HQ split them up to separate- I mean, to evenly distribute the talent among Fenrir. But we think it would be wise to temporarily bring them all together until your Aragami excess is contained."
"I guess it wouldn't do us any harm." Dr. Sakaki sighed, finally conceding. "Besides, I think Fia would like the idea of seeing her family after so long."
"Ha, excellent! We'll be sending them over to your Branch right away." Dr. Sakaki began to regret his choice as he heard the excitement in their voice. And knew he regretted it once he saw the grins on all their faces. "Oh and good luck. Their eccentric behavior seems to be... genetic."
"Wait what?" But they had all logged off the screen before even answering his question. "(Sigh) Why do I get the feeling we've just became one giant experiment?"
