Souffle giggled, oblivious to Wind's grief --- and her apparent good luck, as she didn't know a thing about Sara's death. "Well, it's good that the weather isn't bothering you any, of course," She nodded. "But I haven't talked to you in more than a year! You must've been really busy, right? I'm living around here now with Yumie and Miss Wei-Li, I'm sure they'll miss you, too...
"But the city's getting more crowded, though, Wind, people moving in and out, workers and scientists bustling around. It's almost like everywhere we go there's a scientist every block now!" Another laugh, causing Souffle to hold her sides in restraint before the laughter died down. "So, uh, Wind, I'm just wondering...does the name Kally Lyedalla mean anything to you?"

"Hello?" Souffle blinked in noncomprehension for a moment, trying to recognize the second voice and the person it came from; and then, it hit her, and she remembered that she knew him. Instant relief at that flooded her and she sighed, relaxing and smiling at the person she recognized as her friend: "Wind? Is that you?"
Before anything else, Souffle then ran towards Wind and stretched out her arms to hug him --- before she stopped herself with a slide within a few centimetres of her target, remembering that she was still wearing Xi Gundam armor which would've resulted in a lot of pain for both Wind and Souffle in turn. ^^; Instead, Souffle settled for a relieved, friendly grin, placing her hands behind her back casually.
"It's so nice to see you again, Wind --- I missed you! How are you? Where have you been lately?"

It was only awhile into her thoughts that Souffle managed to notice a second, distinctly uneasy feeling creeping into her heart, and this feeling nevertheless startled Souffle enough to cause her to turn around hastily, looking around her with nervousness but never managing to really find what was bothering her. Souffle didn't know why; perhaps it was something she had picked up from Yumie or Wei-Li, but Souffle could feel it nevertheless, and strongly as well.
But she soon realized that this second feeling was different than the first, than what Kally Lyedalla gave her; Kally's bad feeling was of a strange, enigmatic one, of someone who Souffle didn't know but only sensed that she was up to something terrible; this second feeling, in turn, was as if Souffle was feeling someone else's sadness, uncomfortable --- but somehow familiar, as if she actually knew this someone...
Still, Souffle's eyes were failing her in searching for what this feeling came from, and it was growing little by little. Trying to take deep breaths, Souffle eventually decided on a course of action.
"H-Hello?" Souffle called out nervously, preparing herself to flee and checking her Xi Gundam armor mentally. "W...w-who's there? Who is it...?"

It had been to Souffle Reeds' obvious relief that Millenium's development hadn't warranted Nebin Cybrionne's grave be levelled completely into the dirt; over the years, it was still exactly where Souffle remembered burying her late foster father, and it was there that she'll always find 'Cybbie' when she needed or wanted to --- even if he had been dead for three whole years now. Souffle was glad for this; if Millenium even touched Cybbie's resting spot Souffle would never stand for it, no matter whose tail she would end up stepping on...
Then again, Souffle wouldn't be the only person who might have a score to settle with Millenium if so, but if it was Yumie who did it, Souffle simply didn't know how things would go. Three years of living with her and Wei-Li had told Souffle that Yumie could definitely still be tough-as-nails and a mean fighter --- much meaner than Kouji still --- when she needed to be, even though that demeanor had actually taken a toll on Yumi Sonchiro's well-being in the past. But while it wasn't why Souffle liked Yumie, it was still a comfort to know overall.
"Hi, Cybbie," Souffle began, lowering her head in reverent silence. "How're you? I know it's been a bit longer in coming here this time than before...I'm sorry, but with whatever this Millenium thingy is being built here, there's just been so many people around, and I didn't really want to fly unless I had to..."
There was a slight pause as Souffle took a breath. "Yumie and Miss Wei-Li are fine, don't worry. They're somewhere in the city, probably having a drink, so I just decided to come here first. They'll be here later, I think, provided Yumie doesn't get into any fights on her way here..." A chuckle that soon died. "Must be good news to you to hear that Yumie's doing well, hmm, Cybbie?
"...Are you lonely? Do you see anyone else we know where you are? It's been so long since I've talked to our other friends from the ship...I don't even hear from Wind or Saki anymore. I wonder how they're doing compared to me..."
"I wonder when we'll go back to the Garden for vacation next..."
Before Souffle could continue that thought, it was then that another figure, movements quick as the wind and silent as night, appeared and walked her own casual way towards Souffle and Cybrionne, stopping behind the taller, gracefully slender young woman in contrastingly bulky Xi Gundam armor. A sigh from her brought Souffle out of her reverie, and caused the newcomer to in turn look at the gravestone as well in amusement.
"...Um...hello...who're you? Are you a friend of Cybbie's, too?" Souffle asked blankly, blinking; the newcomer was a woman, notably older than Souffle, with green hair that protruded out from the back of her purple-painted helmet. The first reaction that came to Souffle's mind was that with her armor, she looked strange enough already; the armor was of a type she hadn't seen before, light and relatively undecorative, painted purple and black but looking like a gigantic purple scarab beetle in appearance --- right down to the talons on the forearms and legs. Who was she? Souffle never knew and, for all she knew about the outside world, couldn't hope to...
For awhile, the newcomer didn't answer, green eyes unwavering towards the gravestone's markings; it was only after a few moments that she even registered Souffle's words at all. "Here lies Nebin Cybrionne, veteran of the UEG, brave warrior and endearing father..." She read emotionlessly before turning to Souffle, expression unreadable. "Pink hair...I always thought I'd find you here of all places. You must be Souffle Reeds."
Souffle nodded mutely, prepared to run if it proves a viable option.
"I've heard of you --- Cybrionne raised a fine daughter, yes." The newcomer turned away, back to the grave. "It's a shame he died. I'm Kally Lyedalla, if you're interested to know --- I knew Cybrionne before he found you."
The name sounded familiar, but Souffle couldn't place it at all. "So, uh, Miss Kally..."
"Actually, I have a question to ask of you, Souffle Reeds." Kally interrupted before Souffle could even start, eyes glaring at her with a look that could freeze magma. Souffle shivered nervously at it. "With your previous involvement with the Shining Hope, I am wondering if you have any way I can contact a certain person by the name of Kouji Kamishima."
"You...you want to meet Kouji? Why?"
Ever the innocent girl. It's a shame, Kally thought to herself inwardly, sighing. "Curiousity. How can I contact him?"
"I don't even know...I haven't spoken to him in a year..." Souffle shook her head, trying desperately to keep herself collected; Kally was giving her the shivers and something didn't feel right with her questions --- mainly why she wanted to speak to Kouji --- but it wasn't a good thing to panic right now. Souffle could only wonder how Yumie would've handled this. "I'm sorry, Miss Kally, but I can't help you..."
Wait, I shouldn't even have to ask, Souffle smiled in comfort, Yumie'd throw a hissy fit and beat her up to the sky! Speaking of which, I'd better go find them soon...
"Fair enough." Kally took one last look at Cybrionne's gravestone before turning around, giving Souffle a sideways look. "If you see Kouji again, tell him that I'd like to speak to him. He can find me in New Mexico. I'd like to stay, but I have a meeting; Goodbye, Souffle."
Without as much as a wave, Kally began walking away, leaving Souffle blinking at her in her wake. Kally paused at one last thought, chuckling mirthlessly for some reason.
"Nebin Cybrionne was a fine warrior, Souffle. You've got that right." Kally commented. "But he's not your father by blood. Your blood father is somewhere in the horizon...and I'm sure Cybrionne had told you to look for him as well, has he not?"
And then Kally leapt, taking to the skies with insect wings and flying away in a trail of sparkling stars. Souffle frowned, finally allowing herself to relax, struggling not to fall to the ground; Yumie had taught her well, but Kally Lyedalla still scared the heck out of Souffle for some reason. Souffle could only hope Kally wasn't up to anything bad...
"My father..." Souffle bit her lip, forcing her eyes closed at Kally's comment. "I know, yes, but I don't know what I should do. What should I do, Cybbie...?"

Cyb's Boss Character #2Name: Hiroshi Ishikawa Aliases: Chaos Knight (friends) "You Thrice Bastard" (enemies) "Darth Vader-wannabe" (everyone else ) Age: Unknown Sex: Male Hair Color & Style: Unknown Eye Color: Unknown Height: Unknown (unarmored), 8'5 (armored) Weight: Unknown (unarmored), 510pds (armored) Race: Cyborg Armor: GF13-001NHII Master Gundam, Integrated Armaments: Master Cloth x1, Near/Distant Crusher (forearms) x2, Hand Cannon x2, Beam Shinai x1 Optional Weapons: Master Bit x8 (used solely for Juuni Ouhouhai attack) Special Systems: Power Manipulator x2, Mobile Trace System Special Attacks: Darkness Shot, Juuni Ouhouhai, Choukyuu Haou Den'eidan, Darkness Finger, Sekiha Tenkyoken Favourite Weapon/Attack: Master Cloth, Darkness Finger Likes: Perfection, Power Really Likes: Martial Arts, defeating opponents, wanderlust Dislikes: Weakness Really Dislikes: Toho Fuhai-ryu Martial Arts, Kouji Kamishima --- and anyone else related to him and his school Theme(s): "The Droid Battle", Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Original Soundtrack Background: Harbinger of the Dark SideBefore the War of Ages, Hiroshi Ishikawa used to be the brightest and most powerful of the students of the Toho Fuhai-ryu school of martial arts --- even beyond the school's most famous pupil, one Kamuri Kamishima of the UEG's 'Avenger Unit' --- and even the sensei of the school himself, Nobusaru Masuta (later Kamuri's father-in-law and Kouji Kamishima's own grandfather), had all but the highest hopes for his star pupil and initially slated Hiroshi to be next in line to become master. When the War of Ages began and both Nobusaru and Kamuri established the 'Avenger Unit' to counter the AOL's ground invasion, Hiroshi didn't hesitate to join as well and became Kamuri's first second-in-command --- a fact that Hiroshi secretly resented and, later, would boil over. As the War of Ages progressed, however, the differences between Nobusaru's two star pupils became more and more apparent; While Kamuri remained humble and loyal to the UEG and Toho Fuhai-ryu, Hiroshi became proud, confident of his abilities, and eventually arrogant, often recklessly rushing into battles even before the Avenger Unit would decide to participate in one. This arrogance, of course, did not go unnoticed by either Kamuri or Nobusaru themselves, and they became increasingly concerned with Hiroshi's recklessness, but Hiroshi would heed no warning --- and finally, when Hiroshi suffered his first defeat in the hands of the AOL's "Black Knight", former Knight GEAR Ohga trooper Millicent Sadalfas, it seemed Hiroshi would finally be made to learn his lesson. He remained obstinate, however, and the next two events that happened only served to also make Hiroshi Ishikawa very unhappy...and very bitter towards the UEG in general, when he found himself censured from a placement in the UEG's 'Ace Corps' by Field Marshal Gunther Van Helsing himself for the defeat while Kamuri in turn became a member of the elite group. When Nobusaru also established his own grandson, one Kouji Kamishima, as the next heir to Toho Fuhai-ryu in Hiroshi's place, however, that was the last straw, and some corruption from the AOL's part finally convinced the former star pupil to revolt against his former best friend. Only shortly after Kamuri's wife, Miki Masuta, died and became the First Hunter, Hiroshi led 20 defectors --- as well as 20 members from the AOL's 'Neo Shogi-Tai' force --- to the Toho Fuhai-ryu Dojo in Tokyo and launched a rebellion against its students. The rebellion reached a climax when Kamuri and Hiroshi themselves duelled each other in single combat, Hiroshi in Kowloon Gundam armor, Kamuri in Rising Gundam garb. In a surprising turn of events, it was Kamuri that emerged the victor of the battle and showed Hiroshi exactly how much more he still had to learn, and Hiroshi Ishikawa was last seen falling into Tokyo Bay, all but critically wounded and Kowloon Gundam armor destroyed, presumed killed and branded a traitor in now-lost UEG records. Five years later, just after the old Yamato found itself defeated and the Dragon Faction rising in its place, a heavily-armored MS Trooper known as the "Chaos Knight" began appearing at various places of the world, at various times, terrorizing just about everyone who came across him. This Chaos Knight immediately drew suspicion and doubts as to who he was, with the most prominent rumor being he was once a member of Yamato, and for good reason; He was fully armored in Master Gundam armor, without a hint of flesh, and looked for all purposes as if he was a complete robot like Yamato's Four Elders were. As such, despite his efficiency, skill and power as a self-proclaimed master of 'Toho Fuhai Shinkage-ryu' martial arts, the Chaos Knight --- once a proud, arrogant Hiroshi Ishikawa --- had never associated himself with anyone, never joined any faction, and nobody knew what personal agendas he was after when they actually met him. It seemed almost like he was wandering at random, trying to sow discord wherever he went against any and all factions... To this day, the Chaos Knight remained an overall wild card; He mostly preferred to either run off by himself for months on end whenever he saw fit, doing whatever he felt like doing at the time. His allegiance is not known; one minute he could be helping the Alliance, and the next one could find him turning against them, only to side with them again in a third minute. However, there nevertheless seemed to be reason to his madness; One of the few things that the Chaos Knight had found himself doing was hunting down the remnants of Hiroshi Ishikawa's old martial arts school, the Toho Fuhai-ryu, which he despised with a vengeance and went after its students with only the utmost fervor...

Cyb's Semi-Boss Characters #2, 3 and 4
Name: Amy Sex: Female Age: 21 Hair Colour & Style: Blue, short and finely-combed Eye Color: Blue Height: 5'7 (Unarmored), 5'10 (Armored) Weight: 133 lbs (Unarmored), Unknown when Armored Race: Human Armour Name: MS-09 Dom Armour Type: Exosuit Fixed Weapons: Scattering Beam Gun x1, Heat Saber x1 Optional Weapons: 60mm Giant Bazooka x1 Special Attacks: Jetstream Attack Favourite Weapon: None Likes: Winning, Pizza, Kimmy, Sammy Dislikes: Losing, Beer, People who Drink Beer
Name: Kimmy Sex: Female Age: 21 Hair Colour & Style: Green, short and finely-combed Eye Color: Green Height: 5'7 (Unarmored), 5'10 (Armored) Weight: 133 lbs (Unarmored), Unknown when Armored Race: Human Armour Name: MS-09 Dom Armour Type: Exosuit Fixed Weapons: Scattering Beam Gun x1, Heat Saber x1 Optional Weapons: 60mm Giant Bazooka x1 Special Attacks: Jetstream Attack Favourite Weapon: None Likes: Bar Fights, Heavy Weapons, Amy, Sammy Dislikes: Peashooters
Name: Sammy Sex: Female Age: 21 Hair Colour & Style: Red, short and finely-combed Eye Color: Red Height: 5'7 (Unarmored), 5'10 (Armored) Weight: 133 lbs (Unarmored), Unknown when Armored Race: Human Armour Name: MS-09 Dom Armour Type: Exosuit Fixed Weapons: Scattering Beam Gun x1, Heat Saber x1 Optional Weapons: 60mm Giant Bazooka x1 Special Attacks: Jetstream Attack Favourite Weapon: None Likes: Classical Music, Swords, Amy, Kimmy Dislikes: Ninjas
If the Black Trinity ever had a Cosine Law applied to them... Amy, Kimmy and Sammy were triplets who made up Cerberus Unit's infamous 'Witches of Macbeth', a unit of three specializing in heavy ground assault; in fact, the only thing different about them physically were their hair and eye colors, and to the untrained Yamato rookie --- if such even existed to begin with nowadays --- there was virtually no way to tell which triplet was which. This, of course, suited the triplets fine, as their own teamwork were based around confusion...and confusion was built upon not knowing who the heck was attacking them, anyway...
Otherwise, it was not known to most how the triplets came to be associated with Yamato to begin with, but it was said that a certain Kyte Soran had recruited the triplets personally during his associations with the UEG's General Khall; whether or not Kyte had 'stolen' the triplets straight from the UEG Academies or were assigned to Kyte by General Khall as a show of faith, though, was left up to suspicion. Nevertheless, while relatively new, the triplets were nevertheless proven of their worth in a few missions, as their nickname implied.
Currently, Amy, Kimmy and Sammy are stationed at a Yamato remnants base somewhere within the New Mexico outskirts, and it is not known what their exact mission was there. Equipped in identical MS-09 Dom trooper frames, the triplets were capable of carrying out ground assaults at very high hovering speeds; while each triplet was powerless alone, together they were devastating, especially when performing the infamously co-ordinated "Jetstream Attack"...

Non-Playable Character
Name: Millicent Sadalfas Sex: Female Age: 28 Hair Colour & Style: Violet, long and braided Eye Color: Violet Height: 5'9 (Unarmored), 6'5 (Armored) Weight: 126 lbs (Unarmored), Unknown when Armored Race: Human Armour Name: GEAR Fighter Dendoh Armour Type: Exosuit Special Systems: Advanced Data Command System, Advanced Hyper Dendoh Battery Fixed Weapons: None Optional Weapons: Unicorn Drill x1, Viper Whip x1, Bull Horn x1, Dragon Flare x1, Leo Circle x1, Boar Gatling x1, Shining Katana x1, Phoenix Aile x8, 7 Gods Blade x1 Special Attacks: Hadouryuushingeki, Bakusaichourakka, Data Weapon File Load, Data Weapon Final Attack Favourite Weapon: Viper Whip, 7 Gods Blade Likes: Red wine, nobility, civilization, honorable battle Dislikes: Crude, unrefined people, poverty, dishonor Really Dislikes: Aya Hinogami
The Daughter of the Night The former 'Black Knight' of the AOL Earth Forces during the War of Ages, Millicent Sadalfas had been the first --- and as of now, only --- GEAR Trooper in existence, a genuine ace of space until the Massacre completely brought the war to nothing. Since then, for the five years afterwards until the end of Yamato, Millicent had carved out a nobility life for herself in London, living off her own hands, grace and a nasty reputation as the "Vampire Countess of London", until a request by Colonel Alec Orome of the AOL once again set Millicent off in the hunt for the Shining Hope. After helping deal with Yamato and having finished a heartfelt wish of hers by killing Field Marshal Gunther Van Helsing in single combat weeks later, Millicent had since returned to that life, and while her reputation had died somewhat her efficiency hadn't.
Still living in London, Millicent had become a genuine, wealthy and powerful noblelady who had tempered down somewhat from her earlier years; her influences in London with the rich, powerful and government officials all around the world was superb, and she had many connections whenever she needed favors called in. She was also a new Peer of London's New Parliament and had considerably say in English politics, recently having helped bring a highly beneficial trade agreement with France into law. Recently, Millicent was instrumental in negotiations between England and the new Alliance, although she still distrusts the two sides that formed it.
While Millicent had rarely found the need to get into actual combat anymore, when she needed to she was still more than capable of defending herself --- she is a master of the Data Command System which converted weapons and even her own armor into easily-called data bytes, and while she had given herself a new, voluptuous and fully human body over the years, Millicent could call her GEAR Fighter Dendoh armor --- taken from her old nemesis Gunther Van Helsing as a trophy --- onto her with a single thought.
In the RPG, Millicent Sadalfas could come across as an 'anti-Aya Hinogami'; in fact, for some reason unknown, Millicent utterly despises the latter. Some say it was because of some rivalry the two had incurred before the fall of Yamato during Aya's Shining Hope days, but most likely it was because Aya, after the war and still in the information business, had played a very instrumental role in nearly incriminating Millicent in a particularly nasty scandal two years ago. Even now, Millicent wanted nothing more than to see Aya killed and occasionally tries to have her assassinated as a sort of 'game', but her self-imposed regalness and honor prohibits Millicent --- and whoever she hired --- from additionally harming Aya's family and friends in the process...

(Boss Character data updated to reflect recent events.)
* * *
Cyb's Boss Character #1
Name: Raidou Reeds Age: Unknown, seemingly 28-31ish Gender: Male Hair Color and Style: White, long and flowing --- but there's only half of it on him Eye Color: Pink Height: 6'1 Weight: Unknown Race: Human/Humanoid Bioweapon Armor: None Armor Type: None Armaments: None Special Systems: Regenerative Nanotechnology, also contains slight Morpher properties Favorite Weapon: Martial Arts Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown
The Forgotten Frontiersman of the War of Ages Raidou Reeds was once the UEG's most brilliant scientist --- eight years ago --- and had been the leading expert in biotechnology and dynamic cell transformations before Yamato had gotten their hands on it. Not much had been known about Raidou's past before his years working for the UEG as a researcher; it had been suspected that Raidou's file, and everything else about his past, was deleted by the UEG to protect his and the UEG's interests against the AOLID before the war. It had also been known that Raidou once had a wife and daughter before the war, and that both had indeed died five years before the April Fools Massacre due to undisclosed circumstances. It never seemed Raidou ever recovered from his loss, or that he ever had a chance to...
It had been Raidou who was instrumental in bringing Morpher technology into the UEG armed forces for their own MS Troopers and Officers, and before the April Fools Massacre he had been working on an experimental 'Regenerative Nanocell' that could self-duplicate and regenerate any MS Trooper armor from any form of damage --- in time, Raidou had once boasted, it would even be capable of complete self-evolution! However, in the latter stages of the war and with the First Hunter, Fuunsaiki, being successfully pushed onto the battlefield by the UEG, Raidou found himself working against time and the UEG's Hunters Research in the latter days of the war.
It was perhaps because of this, and that his own funding was cut and granted to the Hunters researchers, that Raidou Reeds seemingly went insane one day. Locking down the facility he was in, killing everyone and using them (and himself) as his own private guinea pigs for his almost-finished Nanocell technology, Raidou was eventually stopped, in the one incident they had actually participated together against, by the UEG's elite 'Ace Corps' (subsequent file of this action has been officially removed from UEG databases). Raidou was killed, seemingly atomized, and all his experiments --- save one --- were destroyed likewise.
After the Massacre, parts of Raidou's research that could be recovered would be discovered by Yamato and implemented, ultimately, into Kyte Soran's Pallas Athene armor.
Recently, it had been revealed that the Creature lurking the sewers in New York, preying for unknown reasons and all but a walking corpse of nanotechnology, was actually Raidou Reeds himself in half his flesh. It was still unknown how he had survived the Ace Corps and later the April Fools Massacre; the most likely explanation was that the Ace Corps were not thorough enough with Raidou himself and that his nanotechnology already had been developed to the point where Raidou could gradually reform himself. Eventually, Raidou's presence drew attention from the right sort, and he found himself pursued by both Yamato and a former Ace Corps member, Kally Lyedalla of the UEG. Yamato won, and managed to capture him...until his recent breakout, stronger and more functional thanks to absorbing Kyte's nanocell technology.
Where does Raidou go from here? What does he want? Nobody can know for sure save himself...

Also...
War of Ages Secret Disk #045 --- Historical Data Set #2: The Ace Corps
Despite its name, the Ace Corps existed within the UEG Ranks as more of a mark of society ranking than an actual military unit, although at the time when it existed the Ace Corps actually did become the pinnacle of military and accomplishment recognition within the UEG's armed forces. It was officially established by Field Marshal Gunther Van Helsing on September 7, NC1999, as a measure to increase troop morale on the Southwestern Front; eventually, the Ace Corps idea spread and encompassed achievements from all over the world and in space as well. As a mark of the elite, members of the Ace Corps had first preview of the newest UEG technologies and research, had first pick over troop transfers and assembly, and generally had first priority above all others when reinforcement calls were made; with this view, it was easy to see why the Ace Corps eventually became the envy of the UEG and the fear of the AOL forces at the time.
At the time of the April Fools Massacre, the Ace Corps had already encompassed most of the best and most famous ace MS Troopers and troop commanders in the UEG armed forces, the mark of the elite of the elite; as the war drew onto its last weeks, such faces could be seen in the Ace Corps as Hokuten commander Nebin Cybrionne and Hokuten ace Lieutenant Toshiro Kude, Avenger Unit commander Colonel Kamuri Kamishima, Special Operations ace Captain Jerid Albright, and last but not least the 'Violet Honeybee' herself, First Lieutenant Kally Lyedalla...
Despite the grouping, however, the Ace Corps generally were separate in operations, and its members remained scattered and with their own tour of duties all over the world. It was rumored that the Ace Corps had only seen and participated in one military action together in the last weeks of the War of Ages, against a classified but dangerous target, in what --- had it been made public --- would certainly have been the deadliest, worst and most attricious of battles ever known to the UEG short of the Massacre itself...
