Lucien put his hands on his cheeks and yelled out, "OCH MAH GAWD!" In pure fright, upon realising that Kelly's eyes were turning against him in a most undignified manner.

He watched as Shinji deactivated the offending article with bated breath, and he calmed down considerably. He still had a wide frown on his face for bringing this down on a fellow man, "Methinks I owe ya a beer 'er two as well."

He was starting to ignore the screaming from both parties, and wondered what all the fuss was about. However, he thought it best not to investigate, for his own sake.

Maya Kaname started to make headway as traffic finally cleared up. As the nurse of the Atuan's crew, it was her duty to make sure everyone was in tip top shape. The voidwalker suit sat in the passenger seat next to her as the car raced on towards the spa. "I'm just glad traffic's cleared up and the crew killed most of the Mishhu. Yep. No need for more squids..."

She often talked to herself to alleviate the tension and relax herself, but that was not meant to be this time. From some sick twist of fate, a life size movie poster had been sent up into the air from the prior explosion at the spa. Just as she stepped on the accelerator, it came loose from the street lights and fell onto her windshield, making the nurse see nothing but Mishhu.

"OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!"

Tires screeched, glass smashed, and a hubcap rolled away.

Kelly slowly took in deep breaths, and started to calm down from having his mechanical eyeball pop in its own socket. Inside, he was loosing the struggle to maintain seriousness, and simply burst. The dark skinned Nepleslian wrapped the other two up in a hug and let out one of his most favorite cheesy lines.

"I love you guys." After a few moments, he finally let go and let out a breath. "Really, I don't know what I would do w- uh oh..." At that moment, something returned to the surface of the Ensign's mind. "I just remembered something. H-hang on." He spoke, now shaken again.

He turned around so that his back faced them and held up one hand to the eye. With the other, he slapped himself in the back of the head, and with a "Pop!" the culprit came out.

"So, uh, yeah. Sorry I panicked and made you waste that..."

As Meena came close to the door frame, minus the door, another figure came to a stop before her, blocking the path out. The newcomer was wearing the Origin Industries Nurse Scrubs. Maya's hair was frazzled by some sort of shock or even an accident, right eye twitching as her left hand clung onto the Voidwalker suit to the point her knuckles turned white.

"Hello Meena. Let me drop off this suit for A-" She stopped and had her eyes go wide for the second time of the day. They narrowed to malicious slits. "One of you is deathly ill, and you're all sitting around with, with...oh my."

By then, Nurse Maya Kaname saw the open chest of 'leather goods' and other miscellaneous things. Her cheeks went bright red.

Murakami Kensuke entered his office. It was large, very spacious, yet undecorated save for a few filing cabinets, table and a volumetric access point. Just crossing the empty threshold felt like an eternity, especially if someone was sitting in the high backed chair and waiting. The Senior Executive sat down, and quickly reviewed the overall report. During their unveiling, two Ashigaru frames were absconded with, the perpetrators unknown. In the next mission, information was to be collected as to where the stolen mechs were headed. Mishhu intrusion inside, the data obtained had been decrypted and analyzed. He steepled his fingers and smiled.

"Keikaku Doori"

"Ignore the mess in the middle of the room and just give me the suit." Taela told the newcomer, taking the suit from her. The Neko then brought the envirosuit to her Freespacer compatriot, placing it in her outstretched hand.

"Async, here's your suit. Now please, stop trying to drag people in with you."

"J-just need to w-w-warm up a bit-t-t," she shivered, showing a few signs of life by climbing, nay, crawling out of the fever-soaked covers in her birthday suit.

The Freespacer, who displayed an amazing lack of metal on her body except for a small charm that seemed to be implanted under her right breast, shivered as the nominal temperature of the room cooled her naked flesh, "n-nurse, the radiation treatment?"

Maya Kaname nodded and fished out a large and heavy-looking case, "let me set up a barrier before we go unsheathing and fuel rods, okay?"

Async nodded, slumping to the ground as she began to work on the heavy suit she should have been wearing this whole time. Once nurse Kaname had erected enough emitters to shield everyone in the immediate vicinity, she passed the contents of the case through the field where Async pulled out several dull metallic rods, color returning to her hair as the ambient neutron wash began clearing away the surface pathogens almost immediately. Pulling out the charm imbedded into her chest, the 'Spacer revealed its purpose, a hollow cavity in her body that housed the currently unpowered radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

After reactivating her implants, Async placed the remaining fuel rods into her voidwalker and finished donning the suit. Standing up, she wobbled, though it might as easily have been from the added weight of the suit as from her illness, "huu, okay, much better, my cold should be gone by tomorro- oh- ah- chu!" she sneezed, letting out a nauseated groan as the Freespacer's optimism reached the limits of its effectiveness.
