[After her failed attempt at Shadow hunting with Allen, and her very short conversation with her brother, Shion had totally avoided anyone attempting to see or speak to her for a few days. But now, her face pops up on the network, with the late afternoon sky as a backdrop.]

Is there a good place to purchase a weapon?

Comments

[papermache]

Hopefully yours is decent. Mine's good for groups but useless otherwise.

[uzuki]

Really? I wasn't sure how they differed. After all, the only one I've seen so far is Allen's, and it seemed pretty powerful.

[papermache]

He's been here for ages, though. So you two know each other?

[uzuki]

I see. Yes, we worked together on the same project... For a long time, actually.

[papermache]

Sounds like a long story.

[uzuki]

Well, no not really, actually. He joined the project, and we worked together a little until I became the head of the project. Then he took over after I quit.

[papermache]

Anything big?

[uzuki]

[She nods.]

The KOS-MOS project. I don't know if you heard anything about our world from Allen, but there's something called Gnosis there. They're hostile creatures that have cause immeasurable destruction.

KOS-MOS was a weapon designed to defeat them. She's quite special.

[papermache]

Oh yeah, the thing that's like Black Rivers only not. Does every world out there have one of these things?

A person?

[uzuki]

Well, she's not really a person, she's an android.

[But Shion still speaks of her really fondly anyway.]

Black Rivers?

[papermache]

And?

*Mila groans.* Long story short, these things came up out of the ocean and they go around doing whatever they want. They've already driven a lot of the population into space.
