1- Alhambra, an hour after Impact Again
[Some time after the mission, Kagura is coming out of the Graveyard installation, after a thorough checkup. She's walking fast, and her inexpressive armor doesn't give any clues as to what the results were.
But if you were in that last mission, there's a pretty good chance you'll want to ask Kagura what the hell just happened, and this is probably the best moment for that.]
2 - Dead of the night, Alhambra (Only for people with positive CR with Kagura)
[At a high point on the desert hills outside Alhambra, after most reasonable people have gone to bed after a hard day, Kagura can be found, standing. And the suit is, surprisingly, opened. The little fairy normally inside it is sitting on it with a very focused, strange expression in her glowing eyes, looking at her own hand - where, sometimes, it seems the light reflects oddly, as if twinkles of light were ocassionally coming from inside it.
Kagura frowns, as if concentrating, and there's a spark and the smell of ozone all around for a moment. This only makes her frown harder.
She vaguely looks aside at you as you arrive, though. She clearly felt you come, but didn't seem to feel a need to get back into her suit yet]

THAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM, KUGIMIYA. IT FELT LIKE A PLACE I HAD BEEN ALREADY TO, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE. AND ACCORDING TO ALL EXTERNAL SENSORS, THE WHOLE THING DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN.
IF YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD ALSO SEEN IT, I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED IT A HALLUCINATION. BUT AS IS, I THINK THAT IT WASN'T REAL, BUT IT WASN'T A HALLUCINATION EITHER.

I CAN SAY SOME THINGS. THINGS I SHOULDN'T KNOW. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TRUE THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY JUST POPPED LIKE I ALWAYS KNEW THEM AND THAT CREEPS ME THE FUCK OUT. I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE MESSING WITH MY HEAD.

THERE IS A LOT HERE TO MAKE ME CONCERNED, HOWEVER. IT HAPPENED WHEN I DIED. AND UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I'M QUITE CERTAIN I ACTUALLY DIED, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED HERE.
TELL ME, WHAT THINGS DO I KNOW THAT COME BACK AFTER YOU KILL THEM?

AS FAR AS I KNOW, MISTLETOES ARE BUILT WITH PRAYER TECHNOLOGY. BUT NO MISTLETOES KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY HAVE EVER COME BACK, SO CLEARLY WE ARE NOT AS HARD TO KILL AS PRAYERS ARE.
EXCEPT NOW I DID. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED THERE? I HAVE NO IDEA. WAS IT SOMETHING ABOUT THE DISTORTION THAT CHARISMA ASSHOLE WAS WORKING WITH? BUT I KNOW I GOT THE FEELING THOSE PEOPLE WE FOUGHT THERE WERE MORE THAN FIXTURES. THEY WERE GATEKEEPERS. AND THEY HAD THE SAME KIND OF ENERGY SIGNATURE AS EXECUTORS.
NONE OF THE POSSIBILITIES THAT COME TO MIND HERE ARE PLEASANT.

BECAUSE THIS MONTH HAS BEEN KIND OF A CLUSTERFUCK, AND YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A LOT OF IT.
IN NORMAL SOLDIER OUTFITS, THIS NORMALLY WARRANTS SOME LEAVE, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTENTION. THE WAY UNITY WORKS, I EXPECT YOU WILL GET FUCK ALL. DON'T WANT YOU TO END UP LIKE KLEIN.

I don't think anybody is going to end up like Leos, though.

And if I were to take some leave, where would I go anyway? I don't know anybody outside of Unity Group and a few students who were picking on us back at the academy. And I doubt just sitting in base, listening to stories of close calls and watching friends go out to fight and possibly die will give a lot of rest either.

THAT ASIDE. IF YOU NEED TO VENT OR COMPLAIN, I'LL LISTEN. FUCK KNOWS I HEAR PLENTY OF COMPLAINING AS IS, AT LEAST YOURS MIGHT MAKE SOME SENSE. AND YOU COULD PROBABLY DO WITH DOING SOME SHOUTING

[Oh right. Kagura was literally built by Graveyard to be a support AI, and somehow now she's a Major with all the trimmings]
I TOLD YOU ONCE, IF YOU INTEND TO GAIN INDEPENDENCE, SHEER STUBBORNNESS IS YOUR BEST ALLY, KUGIMIYA. THE ADVICE STANDS. IF THIS IS ALL YOU KNOW, WORK TO LEARN OTHER THINGS. IF A LAB RAT IS ALL THEY SEE YOU AS, DO THINGS TO FORCE THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU CAN DO MUCH MORE. YOU FIVE ARE MORE VALUABLE TO YOUR SUPERIORS THAN I EVER WAS. YOU HAVE NEGOTIATING LEVERAGE, AND YOUR FAVORABLE PUBLIC OPINION COULD BE EASILY MANIPULATED FOR FURTHER LEVERAGE.
AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO MAKE USE OF THE CONTACTS YOU PEOPLE HAVE GAINED WORKING IN UNITY. I'M PRETTY SURE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THIS BASE ALONE THAT WOULD CUT YOUR ADMIRAL'S BALLS OFF IF HE TRIES ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE RULES TO BRING YOU TO HEEL.
WHICH WOULD BE ADMITTEDLY AMUSING.

From:

BUT IF YOU WANT A BREAK, I CAN TELL YOU YOU CAN CERTAINLY GET IT. I CAN EVEN TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU GET TO INFLUENCE ITS PLANNING. BUT I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON TO ASK FOR SPECIFICS OF WHAT TO DO WHILE ON THAT BREAK. I DON'T "TAKE BREAKS". I ALREADY SPENT ENOUGH TIME CONFINED TO THE JUNK PILE.

I'm thinking about what to do. I need to also find the time in between missions, training and other duties.

No rush in answering this... but I'm having Elma review the footage and everything his sensors took in. If there's anything of note I'll be sure to get it to you, though not sure if there will be.

TELL ME IF HE ACTUALLY HAS ANYTHING. BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE SENSORS IN MY SUIT NOT A FUCKING THING HAPPENED. NOT EVEN THE PART WHERE I'M QUITE CERTAIN I DIED.

ELMA IS ALIVE AS I AM. MY SUIT IS NOT. IF ANY DIFFERENCE IS MADE IT WILL BE THAT ONE.
TO ALL BUT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS THERE WAS NO EVENT. THE MOVEMENTS I DID IN MY FIRST ELAPSING SEAL FIELD BLOCKING MANEUVER ARE NOT REGISTERED ANYWHERE. IT NEVER HAPPENED.
