"Ugh. . ."

>The researcher looks up, opening one of her eyes as the computer makes a sound, jumping back in her chair as she notices something in the data being streamed to her workstation as it scrolls up. Grabbing the mouse, she scrolls back to the specific part.

"That's. . . that's. . ."

>The researcher moves back from the computer, scrambling through various documents on her desk until she finds the one she's looking for.

"What-"

"She was the one who called. Her 'voice' was urgent, so I decided to get here as soon as I could."

"You have bought yourself time, star spawn, but I will correct your abberation in the song. . ."

>The woman throws her blade into the ground, embedding it into the floor.

"The same applies to you, Mind, you cannot run free forever, brother."

>As she finishes the sentence, the woman begins fading away in a fractal pattern.

"Beware the capricious nature of these creatures, their removal would have been for the protection of humanity."

>With no further words to add, the woman disappears completely, her blade soon shattering into a cloud of diamond dust.

The Charon remains hovering over the night skies of San Francisco's Bay Area, as Chimera refines his handiwork. The component sockets of Chimera's blaster weapon are then fitted with plasma cells - before he stands up and turns around.

>Mosaic, leaning on the wall nearby and with his arms crossed, says:

"I want you to make as much noise as possible to draw Eukaryon out. There's a good chance that they're going to try and compromise the shuttle launch that Yoshimura Corporation has planned next week."

>Thinking for a moment, Chimera then states:

>Aiden rubs his eyelids as he walks into the kitchen - seeing a bunch of food sitting on the table. Curious, he then picks up a plate and begins placing some food from the bowls onto it. He then grabs a spoon and starts eating as he walks around.

>Finding Stella in the living room reading a book, she doesn't even move a muscle as she says:

"Long day? I'm sure watching over your protégé took a lot out of you."

>Stella says, finally turning around with a smirk on her face.

>Aiden sighs as he moves to go sit down on the couch beside her. Now eating from his place, without spilling a bit of food, he then says:

"I just wanted to see how he'd do. He's supposed to take over for me anyways. Eventually that is."

>People lazily wait in the queue at a trendy coffee shop, all of them dealing with their own business as they wait to get their daily lunch, their time far too precious to be worried about the lives of others.

>One such person, a young man engrossed in his phone, makes his was into the shop, casually walking forward while not looking ahead, focussed entirely on the stream of messages going in front of him in a group chat.

>After a few steps in, the man stops abruptly as he hits the person in front of him in the queue.

"Oh. . . sorry about that. . ."

>The man takes a step back, looking up at the person who he bumped into, a woman who easily stands at 7 foot tall, her black hair interrupted by unnatural-looking streaks of white hair. Not saying anything, the woman turns slightly to look at the man, staring at him with two empty, glazed over eyes.

"You ok. . ?"

"I'll see you at home later today, honey~."

>Giving him a wink, Stella unlocks the door and leaves the room - leaving Aiden with a realization.

{"She's not talking about the Archeon Complex. She means my actual home back in the Residential District. Oh."}

>Feeling his face blush uncontrollably, Aiden then looks down at his hand intently.

"………."

>Aiden finds Stella leaning against his car - waiting for him to arrive. Sighing, he then says:

"We're really serious about this then?"

>Rolling her eyes with an amused expression, Stella then walks over to Aiden and gives him another deep kiss. She then looks at the car Aiden drives, taking note of its black color and red accents, before laughing.

"Phoebe's right. You are compensating for something!"

>Now rolling his eyes in return, Aiden gives a playful scoff before getting inside of the driver's seat. Looking at Stella as she enters the passenger side - he then waits until she's shut the door before he does so as well.

"Wouldn't you need to come back and get all of your belongings before you move in-"

"I'm almost done with the steak. What would you prefer?"

>Aiden thinks for a moment, before saying:

"Medium rare please. Thank you."

>Nodding, Stella smiles at Aiden as she then picks up one of the floating salt shakers - seasoning the meat as it finishes cooking.

"I already cancelled your lower priority meetings for the rest of the month. They were all extraneous. Business consultations. Partnership suggestions. The usual."

>A cry of pain rings out through a castle undercroft, echoing against the walls and reverberating out and then back to an isolated chamber where a white-haired woman hangs by a chain, a mix of a dark ichor and blood dripping from her.

>In front of this sight, a young girl with black hair trembles, a ritualistic dagger in her hands, as she trembles, she breathes heavily, the walls of the undercroft moving in and out as she does.

>With one final breath, the girl falls backwards and the undercroft fades away.

>Ceridwen wakes up with a start, immediately turning to a table on the side of her bed, on which she can see a small stone with a rune engraved on it, reaching over to it and picking it up, she moves it around in her hand, notincing several cracks on it.

Why do I keep on using you. . ."

>Ceridwen flings the stone at the wall, causing the stone to break apart from the force.

"I wish, but I can't. . ."

>Ceri reaches into her pouch again, taking out the dagger she used earlier. Which she pulls out of its sheath slightly and gently runs her finger against, splitting open her skin enough to cause it to bleed.

>Taking her finger, Ceri puts it in her mouth for a second, the schlera of her eyes turning black. Then, she removes it from her mouth, closing her hand enough to stop the flow, but not before a drop falls on a blade of grass below, causing it to wither.

"There are only two people left with the blood of Ambrosias running through them, me. . ."

>Ceri opens her hand, the wound having closed, leaving a scar, which is soon covered by the illusion.

"Ha, I'll be lucky to make it to twenty before I have to be put down. With how fast it progresses with me."

>Stephanie opens up a portal leading back to the Axiom's library, stepping into it.

"But that likely still won't be for a little while. Still, I assure you. You'll make it past twenty."

>She waits for Ceri to step in the portal as well, and then closes it.

"Oh and one more thing. You should be able to come and go to the Axiom as you please now. Just reach into your pouch and you'll find what you need for it."

"Thank you for the invitation, though, I'll definitely make a lot of use of your library. . ."

>Magister nods in Orion's direction while focusing on the ground. Thinking for a moment, he then says:

"This 'Great Vampire' - there may be a reference to it somewhere in the texts. Depends on how well of chronicler Thoth and the rest were. If there's anything that can help us figure out a solution, like with a replacement? It'll be there."

>Looking back up at Orion and Hiroki, Magister then states:

"But given how they seemingly just removed themselves from existence - I'm wondering if Time doesn't have a way to reorient itself towards stability. Some sort of backup mechanism so to speak. If it does? Then we should be fine. But if not? Then…."

>Sighing once more, now clearly lost in thought as his mind races for an efficient solution, Magister concludes with:

"We're going to figure out something to fix this. We always do."

>Looking back at Hiroki and Orion, Magister then states:

"We can't ask you to do all of that, frankly because that'd be very bad manners for us. There is a more workable solution that shouldn't require anyone's sacrifice of personal time. We just have to find it."
