"Yumi!" The voice called again, this time much louder then before not just a whisper but like someone was yelling at her in her mind. "Yumi.... Your the only one who can help me, the only one I can trust................" a long pause and then. "Not even Utsukushii can help me with my problom, I need help before I turn back into my old self before... Before I the Darkness in my heart is all that's left..." -----
Ai sat up and looked around Mel was gone and a large hole in the wall being her way out. "Damnit... Dai's going to have a heart attack when she gets back......." Ai started digging aroundfor what ever meds she had left.

Yumi was rather shocked to say the least.
Must be going crazy... the Hi Nu Girl thought. And yet, there was no denying it; the voice, the cry for help, the sense of familiarity... (not to mention the first kiss *shudder*, but that's for another time...)
Mel?

"Please help me Yumi..." And then silence. ----- Ai fished through the small pouch on her belt and looked at some of the small bottles and what was inside. "Hmm nothing much for the way I'm feeling now..." Ai looked around for a moment and stared at the hole in which she thought Mel must have left through. "Damn I didn't know she had that type of power..." The hole was clean cut not rough in any way but looked as though a fine laser had cut the big O in the wall open.

Dai had finally collected herself after a few minutes alone, she was going to have a lot to think about over the next few days.
As she left the building, she saw a strange trooper fly through the air, but thought nothing of it. The East Coast had been hit particularly hard in just about every conflict of the last few decade, and as such was still very lawless. Rogue troopers running around weren't exactly unusual.
Of course, when she got back to the motel and found a hole in the side of the wall, she was understandably concerned. She made her way inside, "What the hell happened while I was gone?"

Ai walked out of the bathroom and looked at Dia."Um... I'll make this short and quick cuz what ever happen is still effecting me.." She leaned agastin thr bathroom door frame. "Mel went nuts while you were gone but... I don't know what happened to her... I think she made that hole in the wall.." Ai finished what she said quickly and went back into the bathroom and shut thr door. The reason for which could be heard through the light wood door.

Dai stood there silently for a few moments, absently rubbing the fingers of her left hand against her temples. She could only keep the aparent calm up for a few moments, though.
"Fuck her," she muttered out.
"What?" she heard Ai call from the other side of the door.
Dai opened her eyes. Her torment and sorrow had very plainly been replaced with burning rage, "I said. Fuck. Her. Was I not clear enough? I did not waste three years looking for her, dedicated to her, just to have that bullshit thrown in my face!"
A snarl escaped her throat as she continued, "And not only that, she goes and pulls a stunt like this to top it off! I've put up with a lot for her sake, as I'm sure she's done as well... but this is it. She can just piss off, if this is how she's gonna act, I don't give a shit what's happening to her!"

Ai came out of the bathroom and looked at Dai. "Dai... I'm sure Mel still loves you, But you saw what happened... Her body is still very unstable Dai, This happened months if not a year before it was planned..." Ai looked at the floor now. "If your going to blame her blame me too, I wasn't there to help defend the base..." Ai slid to the floor and leaded against the bathroom door frame. "I could have saved them...." She whispered.

As Dai finished her outburst, Drake walked into the room, his armored feet strangely making no sound on the floor. He gave her a grin. "I see you're back," he said as he reached up and snapped the faceplate of his helmet closed. The single visual sensor in the center of the helmet flashed red. "Judas and I are going to go check out that other DC unit," he said in that mechanical voice.
Draecaena walked out of the bathroom, toweling off her face. "I'm going with them," she said with a meaningful look at Dai. "I think you should come too."
"Capital idea," said another mechanically augmented voice from behind Dai. Judas flashed into view, having turned off his armor's cloaking device. "We could always use another pair of hands."
Drake nodded. "I don't want to get the rest of the Claws involved. If we can't handle it, then we can tell them." He looked Dai over. "So how about it?"

Dai glared at Ai, "If she does, she sure has a crappy way of showing it. Look, you go after her, but right now, I don't want anything to do with her. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lower my intelligence to the level where I'd just blindly chase after her. She made it pretty clear she doesn't want to be near me."
Dai turned to look at the Claws, "I think... I think I might just do that. Sitting around here feeling sorry for myself isn't going to change anything, so at the absolute least it's something to do."

Ai looked at Dai and the others. Mel needs to cool off if... She made it clear she wants to be alone and I want a crack at that thing that killed two of my friends..." Ai said and stood up.

Drake smiled behind his faceplate. "I've already called in a favor. A smuggler friend of mine's flying down here and then taking us up north to the base. With luck, we might pass 00 on the way up, but if nothing else we can see what we're up against."
Dai nodded. "Okay. When's the smuggler getting here?"
A high pitched whine filled the air as a wave of light washed through the hole left in the wall by Mel. Drake waved his hand in the direction of the hole and the dropship-mounted spotlight abruptly switched off. The ship outside the hole was a thin, aerodynamic craft with a wide pair of wings and three massive engine pods mounted at the rear of the craft. The barrel of a large autocannon swung by the hole as the craft turned to present an opening airlock to the Claws. A pilot waved to them from the canopy, barely visible through the heavy polarization. Drake looked back at Judas, gave a thumbs-up, and leaped out the hole to the doorway.
When all five passengers had cleared the gap between the airlock and hole, the door slid shut and pressurized. The craft's engines flared and then lurched forward into the sky.
Drake made his way up the length of the craft and opened the door to the cockpit at the front. He stepped inside and sat down heavily in the copilot's position mounted directly behind the captain's seat. "A flashy entrance, 'Captain.'"
The man in the pilot's seat turned his head back to look at Drake. "No problem, Drake. Lazek Killigan always makes a scene."
Drake grinned. "How's the pirating thing going?"
Lazek turned his attention back to the controls. "Not well, without a crew. You know how it is. I need hands."
Drake sat back in the chair and put his feet up on the back of Lazek's. "Speaking of that...I know a young lady who would love to join you, by the name of Jenn Kestrel..."

Yumi slowly stood up from her seat, staring up at the fan spinning slowly on the ceiling.
"What are you doing?" WeiLi asked.
"Shh..." the Hi Nu Girl hushed, shutting her eyes in concentration, and opened them quickly.
"What is going on - "
"Nothing," Yumi quickly replied. "At least... nothing just yet." WeiLi had a look of apprehension on her face as Yumi muttered those cryptic words. "Don't worry," she assured her. "It's nothing dangerous as far as I can tell... though still want to be cautious."
As the Hi Nu Girl was about to walk out the door, WeiLi quickly bolted from her seat and grabbed her by the forearm.
"And just where do you think you're going?" WeiLi snapped.
"I won't be too long - "
"You're the one who's telling me to sit still," WeiLi snarled. "I expect the same courtesy from you. Let me remind you that you aren't the only one with a promise to keep."
The two women stared at each other in silence for a few brief moments, neither woman budging from their position. A light crash from another part of the hotel followed by a feline-ish 'yelp' broke them out of their silence.
"S-sorry..." Delilah mewed sheepishly, inching away from the broken pot she had accidentally stumbled upon, while listening on the two women. Yumi gave the catgirl a sigh.
"Fine," the Hi Nu Girl growled. "We'll [i[both[/i] go together. Delilah, stay here and... watch Souffle for me. Please."
The catgirl perked her tail at Yumi's words. Though her stay with the women hasn't been very long, Delilah knew for a fact that Yumi was awfully protective of Souffle in so more ways than one, and wouldn't want anybody around the Xi Gundam Girl unless Yumi either trusts the person, or has full confidence that the person will be able to look after her. What Yumi is asking of her is literally asking Delilah to protect what is the equivalent of her life.
And that made Delilah blush.
"A-are you sure?" she asked shyly, her voice almost a squeak. The Hi Nu Girl looked the bioweapon in the eye, and nodded with a smile. The catgirl's face lit up excitedly, and quickly pounced onto the seat next to Souffle. "I promise I won't let you down!"
"Thank you," Yumi smiled, then turned to the door and walked out, with WeiLi following close behind.

"Is... is that who I think it is?" WeiLi muttered.
This time there wasn't any mistake, and WeiLi was also there to hear it.
"This way," Yumi motioned to WeiLi, and made their way towards a small clearing.

As Yumi and Winnie left the scene, Souffle --- who was momentarily left in Otomi and Delilah's care --- was still unconscious. But not completely. Not on the nanomolecular level, at least.
NANOATTACK STABILIZED, SYSTEMS NOMINAL
Otherwise, still reeling from the shock of the nanoattack administered to her, Souffle was not in her senses.
SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICS REPORT BLOODFLOW NOMINAL BRAINWAVE PATTERNS NOMINAL HEARTBEAT NOMINAL NEURON FUNCTION NOMINAL MUSCLE MOVEMENT NOMINAL BONE STRUCTURE NOMINAL BODY TEMPERATURE NOMINAL BRAINSTEM-SPINAL INTERACTION NOMINAL
But as none could understand, none noticed.
ALL BODILY FUNCTIONS NOMINAL, BEGIN NANOSYSTEM CHECKUP ... ... ... NANOSYSTEM NOMINAL. ADVANCED NANOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS NOMINAL. ... ... NANOSYSTEM CHECKUP REPORT COMPLETE.
And hence, something new begins underneath the skin...
BEGIN STAGE 1 STARTUP BEGIN NANODEFENSIVE PROGRAM STARTUP SYSTEM ∀-99 STAGE 1 RECOVERY PROGRAM ACTIVATED ... ... ...
