[A new day in Alhambra base, early in the morning! The peace, however, is disturbed when a cargo helicopter bearing the Graveyard insignia lands in the nearby pads.
Kagura comes out to receive them, standing in the open as a young man in black and purple uniform comes out and salutes smartly.
We brought the parts requested, ma'am.
DID ANYONE COMPLAIN?
Not at all, ma'am.
REALLY?
...well, nothing worrying, Major. Just a bit of grumbling by the guys at lab for the Xanthezes.
GOOD. THE HANGAR IS THAT WAY. HELP THE TECHNICIANS GET EVERYTHING SET UP.
Yes ma'am.
[The man in the dark jacket salutes smartly and heads back into the chopper to get everyone ready. Soon, there is a lot of bustle nearby, as a group of technicians, helped by a small handful of people in distinctive black and purple clothes, start unloading some odd-looking boxes. What might catch the attention of onlookers, though, is the fact that several of this personnel in the dark jackets moving boxes are doing so by flying around as easily as they walk. Or, looking more closely, the fact that all of said people are accompanied by what can only be described as tiny little fairy-ish humanoids, not much more than 20cm tall, whose legs end in a sort of twinkling crystal hemisphere, gabbing happily as they work.
Those who are really well informed probably recognize these as Executor operatives and the adorable little humanoids as the prized unique weapon of Graveyard, Mistletoes (everyone else, on the other hand, is probably going to feel pretty confused :P).
But then, Kagura is right there in the open, supervising everything as the technicians begin building a sort of structure in Kagura's assigned place in the hangar. If you want to ask questions, or simply talk with the artificial Major, now's probably the best time.]

[Some time later, a communication open to everyone pops up. A synthesized voice that sounds like a text-to-speech program comes out - Kagura's]
IS THIS WORKING. GOOD.
MY NAME IS KAGURA. MANY OF YOU OF YOU ALREADY MET ME YESTERDAY. AND SINCE EVERY TIME I WAS ASKED THE EXACT SAME FUCKING QUESTION I FIGURED I WOULD LEAVE IT ON PUBLIC RECORD AND SAVE US ALL SOME TIME.
NO, THIS IS NOT A POWER ARMOR. NO, I AM NOT HUMAN. NO, I DO NOT HAVE HUMAN PARTS NOR AM I BASED IN ANY WAY ON A HUMAN. YES, THIS IS VERY SPECIAL AND ALL THAT ROT. NOW CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON ALREADY.
THANK YOU.
[Well, someone woke up from sleep mode cranky today. Still, the communication is open, so it can be replied to, if you're willing to risk being grumped at.]

THAT'S WHAT YOU AREN'T UNDERSTANDING. A MISTLETOE IS AS WEAK AS A LITTLE BIRD, AND MUCH LESS FREE. THEY ARE DEPENDENT CREATURES.
THEY ARE EQUIPMENT. AND THEY CONTENT THEMSELVES WITH BEING EQUIPMENT, AND DO NOT STRIVE FOR ANYTHING MORE. SO WHEN THEIR USEFULNESS AS EQUIPMENT FADES, SO WILL THEY. WHO WOULD WANT A SHEPHERD DOG WHEN THERE ARE NO SHEEP. IT WOULD JUST BE AN USELESS EXPENSE.

PETS. COULD BE. LIKE PUGS. GOOD FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, WHICH IS EXACTLY THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE LIKE THEM.
IT'S BASICALLY HOW THEY ACT ANYWAY.

Any specific reason for that? Or am I intruding on private grounds?

[After that there's almost a minute of absolute silence. Nobody can be still like Kagura. Finally, the synthesized voice pops up again]
CALM NOW. YES, MORE DETAIL ON MY REASONS WOULD REQUIRE GETTING INTO INFORMATION ABOUT GRAVEYARD PROPERTY THAT IS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED, AMBASSADOR, IN ADDITION TO BEING WHAT IS MILITARLY TERMED AS NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS. BE THANKFUL THAT I'VE SAID AS MUCH AS I HAVE.
