"I took the libery of informing ESUN - and the SSR." Suddenly there's an important announcement from Commander Howe.
"Gavin has all three seals he needs to bring the Lady back to this world. The good news is that he needs to be in the Discovery artifact to do it. It's under guard and the second anything suspicious is going on - we're moving in. The bad news is... I don't really have to tell you, do I? Efforts to track down Gavin, his allies, and his units are underway. Pray we find him before he makes his move."
"This is all."
That's all for the announcement - but the commanders are involved in another discussion behind open doors. Which means overhearing it by accident or purpose, or just outright joining in, is not difficult.

"Hmm? The Grungust Alpha and Huckebein Omega are dedicated psychodriver weapons, that's nothing new. But this part... the combination mechanism was originally planned, but the half-created project was stopped when it turned out the powerful psychodriver had no predisposition towards piloting. While still military, he became a commanding officer instead - who could this be talking about, I wonder?"

"The seal made the two able to combine somehow regardless. It didn't create anything new. The mechanisms were already there to begin with."

"What I want to know is where we are getting our money from. The council of sponsors turned out to be an elaborate hoax, same as Gavin's uncle. You mind shedding some light on that?"
The three faced towards the last person in the room.
"I have no comment. It's my job only to relay orders from above to you. I didn't know they came from a source that didn't really exist."
The one the reports always went off to, and who reported back with the council's reaction be it good or bad. The ESUN inspector.
