"Years ago, Dr. Einstein built a protype ship he called the holy diver and then it's finished version the Diver Two, it was to be used to travel across the void sea, and endless cyclone respectively.
However the government wanted to assign special operatives to go the first ring, whereas Dr. Alfonso wanted to go himself,
The day of the expected trip he took the prototype bow , along with some of his assistants, and they used the Diver Two to go to the third ring,
Not much is known after"
"From the audio projectors I've encountered back there, he was the only survivor, of that trip" I mutter to MF
"I'm just happy that after all these years the prototype was still intact," Metal fingers sighs happily
"Even though I can't replicate your bow, I am certain I'll figure out how the Holy Diver, works"
(Strange the government just didn't know where it was for half a century)
"Speaking of that, MF, Himari said Tielium can take more than one form, so far I've only had this bow,
I was hoping that I could get another weapon instead?."
"Hmm, well if you don't have other design schematics programmed in it, obviously it won't have any other form for you to use…
Maybe I can try to add something for you, but that is some old tech," MF crosses his legs thinkingly
"I felt kind of useless in that mission," I say detaching the glove from hand, giving it to MF
"I mean Himari usually makes people feel like that it probably wasn't you," taking the glove-like device MF connects it to the interface of his computer, beginning to run a diagnostic scan
"Are you well acquainted with that officer?
She comes across as one dimensional to me," I comment taking a seat behind his cluttered lab table
"We were in the same school, I wouldn't say she is one dimensional, just unshakably determined, and a bit of a workaholic, Himari is one of the youngest ever people to quickly achieve the position she has in the government"
"What about you, didn't you say you went to school with her, you're working here too?"
"My situation is a bit different, Karina got in here because she spent all her time since she was like six or seven studying to be here,"
"That young?"
"Mhm, after losing her father to the North she became obsessed with justice,
She's never let that drive go ever since,
Himari has deep disdain for criminals,"
"I can tell.."
"I got my job here despite my age because I didn't have friends growing up, all my friends were old computer parts, cars. and books on engineering,
Man I used to take apart the schools fire alarms and make them into music players,"
"At fourteen I got a bunch of scholarships, so I ended up skipping the rest of high school,
Got this job at eighteen and promoted to my current position four years later"
"Damn, I didn't know I was standing across from a genius,"
"Nah our science is probably nothing compared to what you have in the first ring, right?"
"….." not knowing what to say I simply shrug..
…..
"So,…
I may be able to add some schematics to this, not any newer guns though, but that depends on you,
What's your art Kage?"
"My art?"
(This question keeps finding its way back to me)
"What you see as art is what the Tielium can best transform for you,
It's basically a prerequisite of owning one,"
"I thought the tielium gloves were just for weapons?"
"Those ones are only for government and military use, regular citizen can create one thing that best represents their inner self, their art,"
"...
What is yours then?" I ask him
"Mmm, that's a usually a personal question to ask Kage,
I don't mind, but I don't advise going around asking others,
For me, when I wear the tielium I can make them into, ironically, gloves,
The ones I make are different though it's like wearing electromagnetic screwdrivers,
Any tech. I touch I can take apart in seconds,"
….
…(What do I want to create?)….
...

"Here is what we have assessed, Mr. Second,
After reviewing the audio-footage of the Roux island mission, Kage appears to not be as much a powerhouse as Apollo or Lyra, though his mental capability is high and his emotional state remains consistently leveled at every point,"
"So, they did not react in any way strange upon seeing the Diver?"
"No sir
Chief Kiefer was ready to detain him with as much force needed if he did act out,"
"Hmmm
It appears that Kage really must not know anything," Mr. second mumbles to himself,
"And what of the Caribbean people Stanton?" he asks
"We let them go, as usual,
I fear our interference in their business may either upset Satan, or the one they call Fairy, Mr. Second Sir"
"I will have Satan dealt with soon, he is also upsetting our higher, more important affairs,
As for the other one, we will…
Hmmm….."
Mr. Second pauses and thinks for a minute
"Call that girl Lyra in,
I think maybe she can help us."
