$#00GGRm@n(R (8:04 PM): HEY! biggrin

scienceinsocks (8:04 PM): ...hello?

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:05 PM): Hao R U??? XD

scienceinsocks (8:05 PM):...fine. Who is this?

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:05 PM): pr0mii3u$! razz

scienceinsocks (8:06 PM): If this is Jack again, I'm blocking you. Enough of the leet speak.

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:06 PM): OK, sorry. I'm just getting used to this internet thing. I always wanted to try it, sorry. ^_^;;;

scienceinsocks (8:06 PM): So? Who is this, really?

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:06 PM): Berkana, it's me....Prometheus. :

scienceinsocks (8:08 PM):....really? -_- How'd you get my SN?

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:09 PM): It wasn't easy, let me tell you. XP (???) and I have been searching for you for roughly 5 years. crying

scienceinsocks (8:09 PM):...could you really be Prometheus after all? o_O I mean, who else but you and a few others even know about (???) anyway?

$#00GGRm@n(R (8:09 PM):I was just as surprised when he found me. Anyway, we'd like to speak to you in person. We have a proposition for you.

scienceinsocks (8:10 PM): Heh. Don't get too friendly, gingerbrat. Even if I do believe what you're saying, why should I put myself out there just for you? After what you did, I'm surprised Heaven's letting you waltz around like this. I'm not interested in whatever it is, so beat it. >_<;

FocusLotus (10:26 PM): Berkana, this is (???). I'd like to have a few words, if I may.

scienceinsocks (10:30 PM):I suppose you must be. Who else would would try to pronounce that?

FocusLotus (10:31 PM): My apologies, but it's the name I was given, although I'm also called (???) these days.

scienceinsocks (10:31 PM): What? I don't quite understand...

FocusLotus (10:31 PM):If we meet, you'll know soon enough.

scienceinsocks (10:32 PM):Hmm, well I suppose I should at least hear you out.


FocusLotus (10:33 PM):I'd like to meet in the Accent Core of Area XX in 6 days, around 3:00 PM. No one's there anymore as far as I can tell. Unless Shin's men are still lurking about.


scienceinsocks (10:33 PM):Uhh....there's still a 32.677% chance that they are. I'd rather not risk getting involved with the government, so I'll just teleport you both to the lab instead.

FocusLotus (10:33 PM): .....what...?



*in an instant, Prometheus and (???) are transported to Berkana's hidden lab. Not even the government knows were it is. Convenient, because there's a sign that says "Funds from couches:" with an increasing amount of money coming in near it. That can't be legal. There are no windows, but there's plushies and cute things everywhere. Yet, it's a fully functional laboratory with machines and magical experiments about. While Berkana herself is not that well known, she is a Techno Mage Scientist that's second to none. Though she always seems to have enough free time to be a shut-in Otaku, or Hikikomori, whatever you prefer to call her.*



*Berkana is working on a new device on the lab table. She's wearing a harness with multiple limbs. One is holding her Caffiene Plus Coke with a curly straw, one is holding a "OMG This Can't Be Legal" box of truffle in the other, one is holding a wandrench, and the other is playing a lightgun arcade game off to the side. Basically the harness isn't helping her do things productive in any way.*



"Welcome welcome. Make yourselves at home. I'm almost done with my infinite assistant project. I can't think of a name for it yet. There's too much of an x-factor to pin everything about it, not to mention undermining what it actually does. ....'X-chan'! Infinite possibilities, plus cute...yeah, that'll do...."

*she doesn't even bother to turn around, as she's too wrapped up in....stuff...*




"Umm....Berkana? You've become quite the Otaku, haven't ya?" ^_^;




" 'Otaku'? ....I don't like that term. You should probably avoid calling me that in the future...." *she turns her head to reveal a strange face.*




"Alright it's done. Say hello to X-chan!"



*An adorable, white creature floats in the air. It wiggles and giggles, then bows to everyone. It coughs up cookies and awesome-flavored crisps for everyone, and also some Dark Matter.*

"Interesting reaction. I guess I need to tweak it a bit. X-chan, put the Dark Matter in Slot W."

*X-chan does as she says, and then Berkana snaps her fingers and her clothes magically change to more casual wear. It's somehow nostalgic...*



"Now then. What is it you needed to talk about?"




"As I'm sure you're aware: I am still here, and thus (???) is out there as well. It's my responsibility to rectify all the wrongs he's done. Now that I've regained nearly everything, I finally can do something about it. Prometheus and I have formed an organization. However, the two of us are not enough. We would greatly benefit from your prowess, skill, and your resources. I've been observing humanity and others for some time now and I still feel that despite their need for war, there is enough good in them to warrant our aid. I know you didn't do much last time, but this time I need you to help us. At the very least, help me maintain the balance in this world."


*Berkana snaps her fingers again, trying out a different outfit. She pours her Extra Caffiene Coke into her Hot Cocoa in her mug, then stares into the glass as she stirs. She doesn't seem too interested in the offer.*



"So? What's in it for me? Why should I help you guys? I personally don't really care much for helping people. All I want is to do my own thing. If I really cared, I'd be out doing charity work like the Gingerhead Man over there."




"Hey...." *Prometheus didn't seem particularly pleased with that comment, though he didn't say anything further because he had it coming after all.*


*(???) removes his cloak, exposing his true appearance.*

"Well at the very least, you should find this interesting, as a scientist."




*Berkana snaps her fingers and changes her clothes once more, and when she looks back at (???), she drops her mug....completely stunned. She didn't expect this at all*

"Given your voice under that cloak, I figured your form was a bit different...but this? What exactly...?"



*she smirks* "Intriguing. So that's what you meant by 'nearly regaining everything'." *she paces and mumbles to herself for a few moments.* "Alright, I'll help you on the condition that I can study you and find out how this phenomenon happened in the first place. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity after all. You're incomplete, yet the same as before. You're also half of that. Where's the other half? Hee hee, this sounds like fun."
