However, that leaves one, glaring problem right after the mission: the Horseman, or woman, who is still very much alive. Efforts were made by Abel Meyers and the Metis Group to take her back to their facilities to study her, since it was a rare opportunity...]
"...that being said, we would appreciate your cooperation in this-"
No.
[But each time the request was made, the girl refused, and instead hid behind the closest UG member present.]

"Ahem! So, after some...careful deliberation, we've decided that it is best to leave the Horseman in your care. She doesn't appear to pose any sort of threat, and we have at least managed to find out what those pieces stolen from the tomb's antechamber were.
"According to her, they contain location information on the other tombs; like coordinates, only fragmented! Unfortunately, this means that Stigma now has access to them...
"Not to worry. The Metis Group will continue to decipher our own set of information through the scroll that started all this. This is one race we will not lose!
"In the meantime, excellent work. We will surely be counting on you again in the future, Unity Group!"
[Despite his cheery disposition, there is a feeling of disappointment coming from Meyers as he ends the broadcast.]

Nearly everything seems to pique her interest, and a number of things, she prods gently. It doesn't help that she has forgotten her temporary ID card, though...]

2. [As for where that ID card is...it lies on the ground just outside Sakihama Base, flanked by a black scythe embedded in the ground, and a horse of a cybernetic nature.
Should one try to lift the weapon, they will find that it isn't physically possible, no matter the physique and means.
Whether the person is trying the above, or just approaching for another reason, the steed just stares at them quietly.]

[First she was hiding behind Sielje during the talk with Meyers, and now just wondering around.]
What are you doing?
From:

[What she is doing, specifically, is staring curiously at a coffee machine.
When Sielje asks, the girl looks at her, then back at the machine, as if expecting an answer.
However, she doesn't wait for one, and gives it a gentle poke in the corner. Nothing happens.]

H-how do you stop this infernal mechanism?!

"It finally happened..." He says, before running away screaming.
"IT FINALLY HAPPENED! THE COFFEE MACHINES ARE REBELLING! THE INSURRECTION HAS BEGAN!"
From:
no subject
[Fyra is at first puzzled by the guy who just ran off yelling, but seeing Sielje taking the hit as well, she knows this can't continue...]
[So she lifts the machine up high, which is easy enough, and tries to throw it away. She stops just short of doing so, though, because that movement also unplugs the coffee machine and causes the flow to cease with a noticeable splurt...]

[Sielje tries not to frown too much from the painfully hot coffee. She stares at Fyra - oh great, another supernaturally strong person.]
I suppose I should have expected such...

[Sielje looks down on the coffee-stained attire. Will she ever get these stains off? No, that is not the important thing here.]
What is your purpose?
From:
no subject
[Despite her very fancy dress being coffee-stained, Fyra does not look worried. She does mirror Sielje a bit by looking down at her own outfit though.]
I do not know.
When I awoke, I could not access that information.

Regardless, do you realize the meaning of this? It means you side with those who swear to protect the innocent. You cannot break this vow either, do you understand?

To stand up to this injustice, to grow strong so you can defend others. This is what it means.
