FROM: @CMDR | TO: @ALL

ATTN: ALL PERSONEL.

We have had recent recruits that have joined our fight. I understand you have been briefed and given training for this mission and our stay in Aranean society. As for the rest: I am your Commanding Officer, Grothia, previously of the Regency. Unfortunately, at present, I am often tied up in diplomacy meetings with the high court. But you can reach me via your BCE, or at certain times during the day in COST's supplied quarters.

Field Officer Young, who is at present wearing of her human appearance, is also present. She can be found at similar through similar means.

If you have any concerns, you may bring them to either of us.

As for your mission here. Our main concern is to secure COST's supply of Ymir, this substance is responsible for powering all forms of time travel in the Galaxy and the dimension shifting required to do so. It is the bones of the fallen God, Ymir and it seems mankind was not made to touch their Gods. Aranean's are a species genetically made to mine such a thing and no human is capable of it. That is why they are absolutely crucial and our alliance with them over the Regency, at all costs, must be assured.

At present, High Queen Thsch is our best bet of this. There is no denying the woman is cruel. A slight is enough to make her snap your limbs, one by one. But the natural Jhashcn bias to those who would eat those who suppress inclines her to us, and we need to foster that fondness.

Her daughter, on the other hand, wishes to overthrow her mother, as is their way. So far in my dealings with her, she has been far more moderate. She favours neither heavy slavery nor absolute forms of punishment. She even has an open, qualitative relationship with her brother as I have observed them. They frequently whisper together at the meetings I have attended. That may be appealing, but she will have no bar with us, as we cannot at present assure what she needs to take the throne.

That is as much as my limited position has allowed me to learn. Sadly neither Officer Young or I can move too freely due to our high profile scrutiny. Remember: if it moves, it is a spy, here. There is nothing you say, or do, that is not being reported to someone unless it is done through the BCE.

As such: COST operatives, I require a debrief of your actions, so they we may assist one another. If you have an idea, a skill, speak up, so that we can use it. This is not a usual type of battle, more's the pity, and awareness of movements is needed more than ever.

You can hack them? (☉_☉) How does that work, and what sort of information does it give you?
deem: (say)

The ones that have cybernetic implants, anyway. A unit like me is designed to be able to force a connection, and override whatever defenses are in place. I don't think they've encountered anything exactly like me before.

Since they don't store data the same way an android does, files and such, I can pick up bits and pieces of information while that connection's there. Thoughts, recollections, things like that.


[Spooky, right...]

[ Literally hacking into someone's mind? It is spooky, there's no getting around that, but it also could be quite useful in this situation.

Given that Genji has all kinds of cybernetic implants, he also has to wonder if he should ever be wary of 9S. But... he wouldn't do such a thing to a fellow agent, would he? It seems rude to even ask. ]


That's quite the skill! (ʘᗩʘ’) I can only imagine you've learned all sorts of things, then.
deem: (turn)

[It would be sacrilege to hack a Noble Human Being, it's true]

Bits and pieces, so far. I think discussions here give me more of a direction to focus on though...

Scanners get pretty curious about pretty much anything.

So you needed some idea of how to narrow your search? I see. All the same, this seems like it would be a valuable asset to our work here. ( ・`ω・´)

[ If bordering on morally unsound. ]

It'd be nice to be a little more useful around here, anyway. And it seems like we need more information to work with.

[One gets used to it when both sides of a war use certain methods]

Don't sell yourself short, 9S! I'm sure you have plenty to contribute here. ゚*。(・∀・)゚*。
deem: (support)

Thanks, I'll do my best.
