Nova was now alone in the basement, the book where the kiddy had picked it up from, and the only reason she knew she hadn’t been imagining it was when her sensor sweet piped down the data from orbit on “kiddymage”. A fat lotta good that was, because basically all the sensors came back with was “we have nu fucking clue how she did it” which she knew was data in and by its self but right now she needed something else… SLEEP!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Calling in from her car ride to the staff dorm she was out before her head hit the pillows, and the next morning at around 11. coming out of her bed she rolled out of her satin “Jammies” and walked into the bathroom, where she brushed her teeth and did all the other regular “early morning” things. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Walking out into her room she noticed she had made quite the mess last night all her clothing on the floor from the door inwards. She was lucky it had been close to 0530 when she had hit the sack or there would have been pictures online by now. And while she could get those removed easy enough she hated having to put up with her AI for when she needed things like that. He might have been coded for servitude that didn’t mean he wasn’t a complete fucking PITA when he felt like it. Hell he was worse then Ku at times. Well she had the ideal punishment all figured out now... She had always been a bit “odd” with punishments but the faculty tended not to care aslong as she returned the students in good shape… <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Well she needed to be all stern and demeaning again, walking out the front door of her apartment she walked the mile to the primary school building, which took her a little longer then she liked, she’d need to start training again. Well she was still well on time in her office. Where she sat drinking a cup of good Italian Ristretto, Japanese coffee was better then the crap they served in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">America</st1:place></st1:country-region> but still the Italians had it all figured out. Hell any country in which its considered “faux pas” to order the wrong kind of coffee at the wrong time was cool in her book. Well she was about to start o her second cup of the day while she was reading the Washington Post, Bush was going even more nuts now that he was “back home” and he was pretty bad back home. Well she hadn’t voted for the guy. When her 2 misbehaved students came in. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
*Well well, if it isn’t Higa-chan and Sato-chan, have you 2 gotten some sleep? I do hope so ‘cause you 2 have some ‘splainin’ to do* Nova started *Well don’t just stand there, Sit… Want some coffee?* Nova continued while motioning to 2 chairs that stood in front of her desk. *Now you do know that the most you guys are to me is a troublesome menace, I mean if I want to find you I don’t care if your on the moon or something because I’ll find you…* Nova was in fact quite capable of tracking them on the moon which was of course unknown to the 2 students *So I think we’ll start with you telling me why you are so obsessed with the Liber Salus.* <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
*Well common, speak…* <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
At which point the 2 of them started to ease out a bit, they had heard some pretty intense stories about Nova’s punishments, and they started taking about a sick sister who was dying in a hospital bed somewhere and that modern medicine couldn’t help her anymore. At which point nova just piped the stream through to her AI for verification, it all seemed to check out, so they needed the book for a sick sister… <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
About a pot of coffee later they were done, and nova made them the offer. *Okay how is this? I know some people who can probably fix your sister but as usual theres a few strings attached, which are non conditional, A) you will never ask who, how, where, when or any of the sorts she leaves she gets better she gets back you don’t ask if you do ask we will find you and it wont be pretty, B) I will give you a little demonstration of how this finding will happen. I think you both took some of my classes? Then you should be farmiliar enough with the basic outlines. Here’s what we’ll do…* She said as she walked to one of her cupboards… getting out a few paintball markers, *I’ll loan the 2 of you these SL74 EGO paintball markers, these are state of the art, here’s some ammo and a pair of goggles and some chest protectors.* she said as she was walking to another cupboard. Those things fire off about 20 rounds per second and with all the mods on them you should be able to win versus little old me right, especially since I’ll be using this.* she said as she took out a rather pathetic looking pistol. I’ll give you ladies some privacy and I’ll see you in the park in 15, how’s that? Ooh there should be some t-shirts somewhere in that cupboard, the paint wont stain your clothing but it never hurts to be safe… <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Nova walked out of the door and walked up to the park where she had agreed to meet them, she had gotten paintball written up on the curriculum and so they SHOULD be able to get at least some shots off before she found them. The part was more of a forest to be sure but still this was about as one sided as things got. A while later the 2 girls came walking up to her fully geared up and dressed for the occasion although the size O male shirts looked more like dresses on the rather petit Japanese girls. *Well here’s how we’ll do this, in this forest you gals can go and hide, I’ll give you half an hour to get ready for me and then I’ll come in after you. Remember each of you has well over 2 thousand rounds; (OT: yes there are paintballers who use this carry this kind of ammo don’t ask me why tho) while I have 8 rounds.* she said while sliding in the clip of her pistol.

*Time starts… Now* <o:p></o:p>

OOC: I'm not bothering with seperate brackets for English and Japanese for now as all all spoken words are Japanese for now. I will when it starts to matter.
Also I don't have word on this PC she there are bount to be a lot spellings errors.

Ravona landed near an old factory site. Though the factory itself hadn't been used in years a small light burned inside. Looking at the light Ravona mumbled to herself:
"It seems they're still here."
Ravona walked towards the heavy metal door that lead into the factory hall. Though old and almost rusted shut the door opened itself after a single hand gesture from Ravona. As the loud noise of the rusted doors died out Ravona entered the building and two heads turned her way. Two young girls were sitting next to a small camp fire, the eldest of the two was 15, only 2 years younger then Ravona, while the other was 10.
"I see you are still here." Ravona spoke as she walked towards a metal staircase leading up.
The elder of the two sisters bowed and said: "I'm sorry, we'll leave as soon as possible."
Ravona turned her head away "I have no desire of chasing you out.... just don't die, having a couple of corpses would be annouying."
The elder sister looked a little pale, and replied with a single "Yes."

Ravona quickly assest the two from the corner of her eye as she climbed the stairs. The two sisters had come here yesterday, Ravona guessed they had run away from home or no longer had any, the elder sister looked pretty dependable while the younger seemed to rely solely on her sister.
Ravona had only spoken a few words with them when they arrived and only to tell them that could stay as long as they wouldn't come into the room Ravona had claimed for her own, a small room which was probably once used as a recreation room for the factory workers.

The two didn't seem to do as well as yesterday, they had come with a single bag of clothes for the two of them and no food or water. Ravona doubted they had money to buy anything today so probably they had not left these halls. If this continued they would die within two days. Ravona decided that for now it would be best if she herself rested and looked into this matter next morning.

Ravona reached the room, the door was locked from the inside and only Ravona who could move the handle with telekinesis was capable of entering without forcing the door. After entering Ravona closed the door securely behind her and lay down a the improvised bed made from a pile of blankets and clothing. With a few handmovements Ravona protected the area with magic and closed her eyes. Minutes afterwards she fell asleep.

Morning came and Ravona got out of bed, Ravona silently opened the door and walked downstairs. The metal stairs were even colder then before after the night though Ravona had gotten used to walking around barefoot so she no longer felt it. After reaching the end of the stairs she walked towards the two sisters that were laying on a think layer of clothes with their arms around each other in an attempt to fight the cold night.

Both were breathing though the younger sisters face was bright red. Without waking them up Ravona touched the younger sisters face, it felt like a fever. Though a fever was usually nothing someone should felt alarmed about the younger girl had not eaten and slept in the cold for two days. Her body was too weak at the moment and without medicine it could be fatal. Ravona looked at the older sister, the older sister seemed like she was doing fine. Because she was older her body was stronger and hence more resillient to the cold and nutricion.
Ravona reached into her cloak and took out half a bread as well as a bottle with water and lay it down next to the sisters. Though it wasn't even for the two of them Ravona didn't want to make them think she was looking after them rather then handing out scraps.

Then Ravona walked outside, she knew this world was more advanced then the ones she had been too before so perhaps they also had something to cure the fever, Ravona would have used magic if such thing had been possible but such magics were not possible with Ravona powers.

"Well, it's not everyday that I meet warriors like you than bring out my senses like that. But yeah, for some reason or another, I wound up in this crazy, confusing world. Plus, you don't seem to be a bad guy, but you do seem to need a bit of help. Though you're going to have to fill me in on things first."

He wouldn't be lying if he said that he was a little bit startled. Hudson found his hand instinctively on his blade. Hudson's sense were flaring up again. He couldn't help it, he just had to ask.

"There's more to you than my eyes can physically see right? Correct me if i'm wrong, but there just seems to be... something different about you. I an't help but feel it."

When He arrived in this cold world, he felt like his energy had been set back to square one again. But it turned out that every living thing on this planet had some sort of energy signature, that he felt inside of him. And when he closed his eyes, everyone had some sort of heat, some light. This one right here though, well, he had a very bright light.

But why couldn't he see his? Was he able to? Was he allowed to?

His mind wandered momentarily while still in conversation with his new visitor.

Nova waited about 10 minutes before following the 2 of them into the forest, walking into it without even bothering to keep cover, if they beat her then she deserved to be hit in her book. After a few minutes she hunched down and took some time to check out the ground, it seemed they had done something smart, they had ditched there cleats which while providing plenty of traction also left a trail even a mole could follow. It seemed they had shifted to sneakers which were a lot harder to trail. Nova had never had the patience for tracking, so instead she searched back in her mind to what she still remembered from their tactics and deduced they’d head to the woodsball field she had made in the forest and try to get a defensible position in one of the bunkers. This would be fun because Nova was going to try to do this without “cheating”. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So she took one of the back roads to the field and sure enough a while later she saw them sitting in one of the bunkers, middle of the field with a decent view of the surrounding area. Nova would have to actually try this time. Checking her clip and her pressure she snuck around to behind the bunker. And then after tightening her laces and zipping up her shirt to keep “everything in place” -she really needed to get back into the habit of wearing sturdier underwear rather then the lacy “Agent Provocateur” kind, because while they were better for wearing as far as material was concerned they weren’t designed for the kind of abuse Nova habitually put them through. But anyways, after doing all the prep work she made a quick dash for the fort they were hiding in. With a bit of luck and a bit of skill she made it before they had seen her, since by now they were wondering if she was going to show up at all or some such. Hopping over the backside of the fort she was standing right behind them and then she breathed into Higa-chans ear “Got any last wishes??” while aiming her gun at Sato-chan. At which point they almost jumped out of there skin. Hell nova almost considered this punishment enough, *do you 2 want me to actually shoot you or will you yield?* It didn’t take much prompting for them to actually yield, point blank paintballs were very painful at the least, and could leave nasty bruises. *Okay now that we’ve proven we can get to you hear and that I have already had your sister relocated to the best hospital in the world proves I can get to you anywhere on the planet. I would rather have I didn’t have to do this again, as its rather troublesome.* <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
And with that said she turned around and left the 2 visibly shaken students in the fort in the woods before calling over her shoulder *I’d like my stuff back if you could drop that off on your way home…* she spend most of the rest of the day grading some papers and making some phonecalls to “her people” mostly about the surgery and with assorted branches requesting info on “kiddymage” as her file has been named and doing some other assorted work. On days like this she missed the field, she didn’t have the disposition for a fucking deskjob. Well she could always get back to the field anytime she wanted to, its not like this school could get back to her anyway. Well at around 1800 the call came, the surgery had been successful and the memory extraction had worked flawlessly, they had implanted a new set of memories involving County general hospital in Chicago where she had been operated on by Doctors John Carter, Mark Greene and Peter Benton, of which Nova could appreciate the irony as could any American kid from the 90ies as they were from the fictional series ER over which many a girl had dreamed, especially over Clooney as Dr. Ross and Wyle as Dr. Carter and just as she was about to hang up the 2 students seemed to have come into her office. *Good news the Hospital’s on the phone and they say everything is all right, Here talk to them* she said as she stuck the phone in the direction of Sato-chan. <o:p></o:p>
