Gene went on with her journey after leaving Pandora.
She was briefed on some of her mother's operations and many things that were related to it.
Gene was inspired by what her mother had achieved. "Wow.. so mommy has maintained peace with the demons, the aliens, and other groups!"
She was given all kinds of information during her time in stasis but everything helped to update her on parts that were missing.
ALCHEMI preserved Earth in Universe Seven while handling many other matters like fighting threats, protecting individuals, providing asylum, and much more.
The Dark Demon Realm was no longer a problem and so were many other places so long as ALCHEMI existed.
A new age arrived and new methods were used to protect rare species or races along with visiting aliens or others from other realms.
Races could coexist in peace and stability so long as they behaved and stuck to the rules.
Gene headed to her first mission with a purpose of her own for the first time in her life.
She wanted to discover what kind of world her mother had created!
Gene soon arrived at a pet store and she looked around carefully.
She examined the cats while commenting with a frown on her face. "Not this one."
After looking at each one individually, Gene spotted one that matched the description. "I will buy this one!"
She pulled out her Zeni and paid right away while watching the purple cat be placed in a cat carrier.
When she left with it, she went into a back alley and lifted it in front of her face. "Visitor Zimo, I found you!"
The cat widened its reddish eyes and glared. "Who sent you?!"
Gene. "ALCHEMI!"
Zimo. "Oh, those guys... They found out I got caught again."
Zimo explained how it got caught on the streets and was sold to the pet store due to their rare breed that was worth a lot of Zeni and it had a hard time keeping a low profile.
As they were talking, someone was already on their tails as Rayne followed news of a strange talking cat which was deemed as an alien threat while someone else followed closely.
Rayne. "Step away from that!"
