1.
[A video message is sent to the UG bases, though its intended recipients, at least for the first part, are mainly those who were on the recent mission...]

Everyone...

I know that this is a difficult time for many of us, but...

...thank you...for your assistance against Maga. It would not have ended the way it did without your presence...and I could not have asked for more.

[There's a notable pause before she continues.]

There is...something...I did not mention during the mission...that being that Maga was one of the primary reasons for the Gloster Foundation's alliance with the Unity Group. With her demise, I will likely be returning to the Foundation in the near future...to take the place of our agent that was lost.

However, I have witnessed the bravery and skill shown by all of you, in your own ways. So, when that time comes...rest assured...I will make the best use of what I have learned here...

That...that is all. Thank you for your time.

[The message ends immediately. Afterwards, Seta can be found by those who are venturing outside in the woods by Alhambra.]

[Not too long after the goodbyes are said, another female - who, at least in appearance, looks much younger than Seta - arrives. Her manner of speech, however, is much more mature.]


"Ah, there you are, Seta. Sorry for being late...I must've taken a wrong turn at that last town..."


Ms. Circe? ...You are my escort?

[The other Kijin sighs and puts a hand to her own forehead as she answers.]

"The Unity Group aren't the only ones who've been busy, you know. Each person in the Foundation has been filling in for another every time we're off combat duty - division leader or not. You can tell that's the case when we had to send our 'beloved' Lady on a job that has basic manners as a requirement."


Y-yes...I have noticed...

"Anyway, let's not hang around too long. She'll have my head if we're not back soon. Have you said your goodbyes?"


...I believe so.

[With that, and a quick nod of acknowledgement from Circe, the two turn around; slowly fading into the mist that blankets the woods. Seta however, pauses to take one last look at Fort Alhambra before she completely disappears from sight.]

[After that message, one of the other nonhumans takes it upon herself to track Seta down. At least it's somewhere with plenty of shade.]

Heard your message... you sure you're going to be okay there?

Well then... no matter what, don't let them make you think you wouldn't be welcome back here. You're not the only one who's gained something from you being here, and you've made a great difference out there.

Any time.

And remember... it never hurts to be honest about who you are when in mixed company. A lot of times, people can be more accepting than you'd think.
