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!"

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.]

It would seem so...
[Even if he isn't all that sure about it. This is still new news to him.]

[Someone talking to it like it's normal is better than someone freaking out. But now, the horse is the one looking confused.]

[There is silence from the steed as it contemplates something.]
This makes things a little clearer then.
However, we have only just awakened. While her power is certainly of that nature, it is impossible for her to have achieved all that without my knowledge.
And this apocalypse you speak of...

At this point, I cannot say for certain.
Though from the way it sounds, you know more about us than we do about you.

There were no people in armor, nor any who wore masks. Only those wearing the garb of the researchers of the time.
As for this civilization, we know close to nothing.
