"So let's get on to the debrief, huh? Phen and I have been up forever now, and we're pooped."

"Ah, very well then." The first Lord said. He tapped on a table a few times and a visual display of the Shrine of Seasons and its telemetry appeared in a hologram.

"So this was the Shrine of Seasons, Hmm? Rather impressive architecture, if I do say so myself. I'm sure there were all manner of nasty surprises in store for you, Major?" Said the fourth Lord.

"Correct. As per our report, there was a guardian of sorts in the labyrinth that we traversed. Additionally, there was some sort of alien lifeform that took the body of the small shadow girl that I called 'Nyctores.'" Phenom responded.

"Ah, the umbra that lost her identity. Tragic... Perhaps if we were here before her people were attacked, we could have saved some lives. Shame..." said the second Lord.

"We will look further into these... 'Nihiliods,' Major. In the meantime, however, there's another planet we've been monitoring some strange activity on. We'll be entering its orbit in a few days, and when we arrive, you'll be deployed to investigate. The helmsman has already set course and we'll be on our way as soon as our deployed Angels are retrieved. Since you've had a long day, we'll keep this rather brief and send you on your ways now." The first Lord said, gesturing towards the door. "We'll be in touch with you, Major, as well as you, Captain. Bardock, should we have them accompany you to the Legion Barracks? I'm sure you must be as exhausted as they are after today's events."

Gaspard simply looked down at the documents in confusion. This had to have been his strangest deployment in his entire career in the organization. He decided it would be best to make his way to the Security office. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and called out. "Hello? My name is Gaspard! I was sent here by your leader with documents!"

As Phenom had debriefed the details on what happened within the Shrine on Alcyon, Bardock just found himself just... standing there as he quite literally did not have much to contribute as Phenom handled everything perfectly. For a moment Bardock even began to wonder why he came up here in the first place. However before he could do anything at all he found the debriefing over and done with as Phenom and Lachesis made their way back to the elevator. That was also when one of the Lord's had asked him if he was exhausted or not. Upon being asked this Bardock regained his more calm and stern stance as he replied.

"I... no sir. I'd rather like to know if there was a place to well... train?"

As Gaspard knocked on the door, calling out that the Chief had sent him. The door immediately flung open, with one of the Security Officers standing there in the doorway, standing tall over Gaspard by at least a foot. "The Chief did something stupid again didn't he? Or are you here because of the recent earthquake's? If it's the latter then I'll be honestly surprised." The officer replied as he looked down at Gaspard.

"I have been wondering something" Runa spoke out of the blue as she and Bryn headed towards the main building "What if the Nihiloids can become independent from each other?" she asked the bioroid. "Imagine if one of them can actually get out of the hive mind"

Bryn thought about it and gave her opinion "It would be difficult and if it happened, the others would try to destroy the deserter, but if it manages to escape, then it would be an interesting asset to get on our side"

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

The second lord held his finger up and responded quickly. "Yes, actually. There's a holodome that you can use. Major Ortus, why don't you show him to it?"

"Understood, sir." Phenom said from the elevator, "Come, Bardock. I'll show you to it."

As Phenom and Lachesis stepped back into the into the elevator, Lachesis leaned up against the glass and looked down at the city below.

"Erm... well... I'm actually here because of the Earthquake. It shook the entire planet, and my... employers had me sent here to make sure everyone was alright." Gaspard responded, handing the documents Dave gave him earlier to the security officer.

Bardock nodded to the Lords in thanks for their info. "Thanks for everything." Bardock replied quite earnestly as he turned around and entered the elevator with Phenom and Lachesis. As he entered the elevator he turned to Phenom and Lachesis.

"So what are you two going to be doing after showing me this holodome?" Asked Bardock as he crossed his arms, leaning up against the glass with Lachesis. Though he wasn't facing towards the glass, rather facing Phenom and the door.

The Guard sighed in relief after hearing that it's about the Earthquake's. He was honestly afraid that Dave had done something horrible once again, as indicated by the expression on his face. "Oh thank god. I swear if it was because of something Dave had done I would so make his death look like an accident and blame some faulty wiring or something... I don't even know how that man had managed to become Colony Chief." Replied the guard as he took the paper from Gaspard. "Well anyways thanks for stopping by to check in with things. I'll assure you that everything will be fine and dandy within a few days at most."

Lachesis sighed slightly and spoke up. "I'm going to take a nice hot bath and go to bed... I haven't slept in my own bed in ninety-thousand years... Oh yeah, did we mention we came here from ninety-thousand years ago? Twenty-one.....Sixty-Seven, if I remember correctly?"

"Twenty-One-Fifty-Six." Phenom corrected.

"Close enough. Anyway, what are you going to do after you show Bardock to the Holodome, Phen?"

"I figured I'd sit in for an hour or so, then go to bed." Phenom responded. The elevator beeped and the door opened, revealing the Atrium once more. Lachesis stepped out and spun on her heel to Phenom and Bardock.

"You boys enjoy yourselves. Phenom, if you come back within the hour, keep me some company in the Commons? I'll have hot cocoa~! I figure I should relax and enjoy the downtime for a bit before going to bed."

Phenom nodded and Lachesis went on her way. The door closed and the elevator continued descending.

"It's about 30 floors below us." Phenom said, in reference to the holodome.

Gaspard nodded and looked around a bit. "Well... I suppose if there's nothing more needed of me..." He placed his fingers against his earpiece, "Jensen? C'est moi. I'm done down here. Would you be so kind as to send me an extraction, S'il vous plaît?"

"Ninety Thousand Years huh? That's a long time... Anyways later." Bardock said to Lachesis, finding it hard to say anything else really... Either way as the door to the elevator had closed, Bardock looked at Phenom for about a minute before turning away, it was almost like he was going to say something to Phenom but decided against it. Instead he just yawned ever so slightly as the elevator started again. Bardock would continue to remain silent throughout the rest of the elevator ride.

Phenom noticed Bardock about to say something, but he immediately cut himself off.

"Hmm? What is it?" Phenom asked. "It's a ways to the holodome, so ask what you want."

Upon hearing that Phenom noticed Bardock's brief glance towards him not even a minute ago, and the fact that Phenom is now asking Bardock what the Saiyan was going ask. At that very moment Bardock's eyes darted around almost nervously as he tried to come up with a question for Phenom.

"I uh... was going to ask about... your coat..." Bardock asked, trying to avoid having to ask his original question.

Phenom raised his eyebrows at the odd question. "My coat? Like any other coat. Some Kevlar thrown in for extra protection. What about your armor?"
