Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Cicero placed a hand on Mima's shoulder to help her stay steady. He nodded in reply then helped guide her to the boat. "You'll be able to rest for most of the trip. You've been through a lot, and don't even realize it..." They got into the boat and Cicero quickly pushed off and unfurled the sails. He then quickly tapped a hand on a similar device that he gave Mima that was clipped on his belt and a multitude of energy particles emanated from the device and formed into a blanket ready to be grasped by the hand that tapped the device. Then, he handed it over to Mima. "Here, it'll be awhile till we reach the tower, might as well make yourself comfortable."

Mima took the blanket and smiled a little. "Thank you for your kindness."
She lied down somewhat on the boat and looked up at the sky, her thoughts wandering off into the corners of her mind as she held her staff close, clinging onto it's familiarity.

"It's what I'm here for. Quite literally." He turned to the sky and cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted out the next part. "IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO!!!" He then kept pointing at the sky saying "No, you!" to seemingly himself and finally he sighed and turned back to Mima. "Had to get that off me chest, anyway..." He undid the device from his belt and held it for Mima to see. "The device I gave ya has some grand old technical name...but everyone just calls it a digital bag. It can turn nearly anything physical into data to be stored in it. Here, you'll also need this." He quickly took out what seemed to be a patch with circuitry in it. Then he gently pushed back Mima's hair near her right ear and placed the patch just behind her ear. It quickly seemed to fuse into the skin, the circuitry along with it. "There... That'll help in the long run. What it does is...well..." he thought it through for a moment. "...You hungry? Anything in particular you want? Try thinking about it then tapping the device with your hand. Food that I've digitized will materialize and be suspended by energy so that you could grab it."

Walking through the wasteland of what remained of a city, Mara was searching for artifacts that could help her with her prototype. She heard there were people working in similar projects related to her idea of portal creations. The white haired woman was in the basement of what remained of the fifth lab in the city.
"There should be something to gather around here.." Mara said to herself while scanning the many archives with her arm brace. It was a wide area laser scanner that crossed around the room. Unfortunately there was no succes on the search.
Sighing for the eleventh time, the bioroid walked through the stairs to get outside of the building. Looking again to the wasteland of city, Mara felt sad for the now gone inhabitants. Poor people, she thought how this city was in its best years, but now there was nothing to see here.
Mara walked towards the forest preparing to leave on her small ship ("Looks like I will need to search in another place then, atleast I got some clues on the next part of the prototype) she thought while updating her HUD towards the closest path to her ship

"Ah...yea...that's right...your from..." Cicero chuckled to himself. "It does seem a bit like magic, doesn't it? You could say that with technology these days..." he then reached into his bag and pulled out what seemed a small little glass tube with two metal nodes and a red crystal suspended inside. "This is an Aura Crystal. Here, everything uses them as a sort of power source. They also have some inert abilities which can be accessed by strength of will. But what they can do in that regard is sort of a mystery." He then pulled out another device, an octagonal device that was as big as his hand. the center seemed to be missing a component. He placed the Aura Crystal into the center and put what seemed a sort of lens set of various colors to close the device.
"Aura Crystals are sort of raw energy in solid form. Just one thing you would need to be aware of...is don't touch one with your bare hands. It'll either just "kill" the crystal or do something that would...not be pleasant for you." Cicero turned to the horizon and saw that they were almost to the tower. "Kind of wish we had more time to get you acclimated..." He turned back to Mima. "I know it's fool-hardy to ask, but is there any other questions you want me to answer?"

Eleos walked through the forest, contemplating what he would do now. First, he thought, it would be best to distance himself from who he was. Forget the past, live for the future. Despite everything...despite what he had fought for in the war against the bio computer M.O.R.S.
As he walked on he came across a ship landed in a small clearing in the trees.
"Great...more vultures." he sighed and found a place nearby for him to watch in relative concealment so that he could see if the owner would return.

Near Nexus
Nhiome aimed the prow of his ship straight at the plodding transport ship and sped towards it, his research told him that this ship was from helios and should have some aura crystals among its goods. Due to this though, it was being escorted by 4 Drones. That was the reason he chose to attack this one, its cargo was more valuable and drones were slightly easier to fight, the pilots were not onsite and the reactions were slightly slower, he also did not need to worry about not entirely destroying those ships. KuroiKame was coming from behind the ships, which were headed for Nexus from the warp gate.
His speed allowed him to come up next to them within minutes from where he had been hiding just beyond the warp gate. KuroiKame turned to face her side towards them and fired a broadside, each gun aimed at a different drone. Nhiome watched in satisfaction as the pulses hit each ship in the engines and they started drifting in random directions, due to his need to only sabotage the ships and also his weaker guns, he had ensured that his fire-control was the best available. The two remaining drones turned to face him and one more was taken out by another pulse from the forward gun as KuroiKame turned to face them too. As he sped towards the transport, his receiver picked up a distress call from the transport ship and the drones, Nhiome grimaced, he would need to finish this fast before reinforcements arrived. As he sped past the last drone, he jinked his ship to avoid a pulse and used the rear cannon to destroy it. He trained his forward cannon on the transport and shot the thrusters. This way the ship was disabled but there was little chance of a hull breach.
He got in close and slowed his ship down, he then shot one of his special bullets from the third gun that fired projectiles. This special bullet was designed to do three things, first was to pierce the hull without releasing the atmosphere within. This was accomplished by releasing a small amount of molten steel behind it the moment it came into contact with the hull. The inertia and the coolness of space should cause the steel to cover up the hole behind it and solidify. The second was to release a special gas that knocked out any thing that came into contact with it, the gas didn't even need to be breathed in, as long as it came into contact with the skin it could do its job. He was a thief, not a murderer. After a duration which is set corresponding to the ships size, in this case 30 seconds, the fast acting gas should have spread through the ship. The third purpose came into play then, the gas was sucked back into the bullet to be stored again via means of a filter vacuum. Both the bullet and the gas were hard to acquire and he wanted to recover them if possible. This also had the advantage of not knocking out him when he boarded the ship, since he usually had no time to bother with the suit during raids.
He steered his ship into position next to the transport and deployed his modified airlock. It extended out wards and connected with the other ships hull, the edges of the airlock was actually a shaped welder and it heated up and sliced through the hull easily before quickly attatching vaccum seals that were easily removed to the inside of the other ship. The now detached part of the hull fell inwards leaving an opening behind. After the peration was done as well as a beep from the console behind him indicated 45 seconds had passed since the special bullet was shot, ample time for it to do its job. Nhiome quickly cycled through the airlock and recovered the bullet. He then started gathering the aura crystals from the cargo area of the ship, ignoring the unconcious forms scattered about.
He had done that and was lugging a third crate of finely-tempered steel towards the airlock when his proximity alarm sounded. So reinforcements were on their way. He increased his pace and after depositing the crate in KuroiKame, pulled the piece of the hull back into rough position. He quickly then reactivated the airlock and watched nervously at his radar as a few blips approached, soon they would be within sight. The airlock retracted the vacuum seals and released a small amount of molten steel to reseal the other ship's hull. Then it began retracting.
By the time it was done retracting and locked into place, he could already see fighters in the distance rising from Nexus. He quickly turned his ship around and sped off towards the Warp gate, escaping into it before the fighters even arrived at the transport. He emerged in Sol Incineron and after a small exultation of victory, sped away from inopia, towards one of the outlying planets.

Cicero first looked out and noticed the black obelisks that reached up from what seemed a chasm that seemed to curve. The water though didn't fall down, it fell up. They were sailing across one of the bridges that linked the Mirror Sea to the surrounding waters. They have crossed the Mirror's Edge. Cicero nodded in satisfaction and then addressed Mima's question. "Ah, yes...the Tower of Aquarion. No one knows why it was built, but all that is known is that it serves a link between Duon and Dua, the two planets. The way they orbit each other... makes the Tower able to exist." Cicero looked up and saw that Duon was even closer, and the edge of Pangaea, the sole continent of Duon, was visible.

She opened an encrypted channel to her squad. "Well boys, looks like we found ourselves another candidate." She leaned back, a smile forming as her green eyes shone. "Black Roses! Let's go hunting!" a loud 'Roger!' could be heard in reply and they quickly sped through the gate before the Alpha Division fighters could arrive.
