>> Lotra City; Raining

> Lux, A pale face girl wearing a simple blue dress walks along the streets of Lotra in the pouring rain her long cyan hair falling to the back of her knees. She's holding the hand of a girl no older than eight. Tamashi now a human wears fake felpier ears a white vest with a furry grey jacket and dark grey trousers.

Tamashi : Are you sure this is the right thing to do Lux? Lux: My logic is undeniable. We will proceed as planned. Tamashi : But doesn't seem just a little heartless? Lux: Since when did you start caring? Tamashi : She's only a little girl, her sole purpose in life would be to die... does that seem right to you? Lux: Given the situation; if you can think of a better idea then please let me know. Tamashi : Can't we just delete the file? Lux: The file has protection on it that prevents it from being deleted. Tamashi : Okay couldn't we just put it on a computer and smash it? Lux: Any computer powerful enough to handle the code would be nigh indestructible. Tamashi : There has to be another way. Lux: Is all this pointless speculation arising from the fact your sister is dead? Tamashi : N-No Lux: She is dead and no act of kindness will bring her back. Just be thankful you are still alive Tamashi : Yeah... I am but still Lux: 'But' nothing Tamashi , My logic us undeniable. We will proceed as planned Tamashi : ...why ask me to be here? Lux: Because anyone else I can trust is too nice. Tamashi : And given what I've done in the past you think I'm trustworthy. Lux: You no longer have the capability to utilize the code. That's not to say no-one can. Tamashi : Go on... Lux: Given the celestians recent movements the file is no longer in a safe place. That is why this must be done. The file will be safe in this girl. Tamashi : *sigh* let's just get this done. Lux: Agreed.

> A small while later they reach the entrance of a large house a little out of the way from the main city.

Tamashi : Is this the house? Lux: Yes, these are the coordinates. Tamashi : Well here goes.

> They walk up to the house and Tamashi rings the doorbell. Shortly Auran a young well-dressed man wearing a tuxedo answers the door.

Tamashi : Hello Auran.

> Auran glances up and down Tamashi

Auran: Nice to see you again Tamashi ... how's the human form treating you. Tamashi : It feels weird. Auran: It's to be expected.

> He then glances over at Lux

Auran: Pale complexion, simple blue dress and very long hair. You must be the Lux I read about in Lunar Stories. Lux: That is correct.

> Lastly he looks at the young girl

Auran: If you're looking for a caretaker, I'll get you in touch with Oscar.

> He begins to turn and walk away

Tamashi : We don't need an orphanage... Lux: ...We need to restart the Hybrid project.

> Auran glances over everyone and then looks down the street

Auran: You had better come inside then

> Everyone is sitting in a large room, the young girl plays in the corner with some soft toys that were laid out for her.

Auran: Allow me to start by saying... that you are both out of your goddamn minds! You are both completely insane if you think I'm gonna restart that project and if you're that determined you had better have a damned good reason for restarting it.

> Tamashi looks over to Lux

Lux: It's for the good of all people and the world. Auran: Uh huh... funny cause that's what they said to me first time and look what it led to. Lux: I admit we got it wrong the first time but we must utilize one more hybrid. Auran: Persuade me. Tamashi : You're familiar with that one file right...? Auran: Of course. Tamashi : It's no longer safe and frankly it never was, it must be destroyed Auran: Do explain Lux: As you may know there are very few computers powerful enough to process it but any computer could still open it as a text file and modify. Are you following this? Auran: Yes, any computer could open but not run the file Lux: Correct, this means anyone could copy or change that file... Tamashi : We could theoretically end up with one million different copies of a world destroying program, each one requiring a different patch to stop it running. Lux: The celestians are looking for it if they found any one of these copies we would never be able to create an appropriate patch in time. Auran: Right. So what's any of this got to do with restarting the projectcause I'm assuming that you would have just deleted it if you could. Lux: Correct. If we could have deleted it we would have. Auran: Thought as much... Lux: Utilizing this young girl we will turn her into a Human/Yggdroid Hybrid powerful enough to hold the file, unfortunately this would inadvertently make her incredibly powerful. We must wait until she died of old age only then would the code be gone for good. Auran: If we did make a hybrid out of her couldn't we just kill her immediately afterwards? Tamashi : As Lux pointed out she's be incredibly powerful even at a relatively low level her stats would be very high. She'd have no problem wiping the floor with us; furthermore if she was ever in a combat situation its probable the celestians would notice her incredible power and start questioning how she got that powerful. Lux: We must store the file in her and then hide her from the world until the day she dies of old age. Auran: Even then, do you honestly expect me to put this poor girl through the absolute torture involved in becoming a hybrid. Lux: Yes. You are the only one we can turn to on this matter. Auran: But wouldn't you agree that this is completely heartless. Lux: I agree but this is the only way to safeguard the future and ensure the sustained presence of life on this planet. Auran: You celestians are all heartless. Lux: I suppose but it must be done. Tamashi : She's right Auran, we don't have time to find out what will happen if we don't do this. We must ensure CODA's destruction. Auran: ... Lux: My logic is undeniable. We must proceed as planned. Auran: ... Lux: Auran! The other celestians are already looking for CODA there is no time to waste. Auran: Fine... you win... you win goddamn it, where is she? Tamashi : Over there playing.

> Auran shakes his head

Auran: To safeguard the future huh...

> Lux and Tamashi look anxiously at Auran

Auran: I never thought I'd be involved in this again... bring her over here.

> Tamashi brings the young girl to him.

Auran: Hey... what's your name? Young Girl: I don't have one. Auran: Where are your parents? Young Girl: I don't have a family. Auran: Lux... Tamashi ... you can go now... leave it with me... Lux: Very well. Tamashi : Thanks again Auran.

> As they leave, they here Auran pick up the phone and dial a number.

Auran: Hello...? Claire. We need to talk.

> As they leave Tamashi closes the door to the house and they once again enter the pouring rain.

Tamashi : Is this going to work Lux...? Lux: I have every confidence it will. It's a simple case of waiting then seeing.
