[After the team returns in haste from the Cardinal Shaft, Kagura's severely damaged armor is brought hurriedly into the Graveyard installation. Kagura is a valuable asset, and panicked pilots demanding a valuable asset is repaired don't get asked as many questions - plus everyone is shook at the report of the mission that they are finally now getting, since Kagura set it up so a message would go off if she went down.
Therefore, half an hour later, the normally grim and quiet Graveyard installation is a boilerplate of activity, with everyone rushing every which way. Graveyard technicians and medics rush around while the Executors are looking somewhere between dazed and in disbelief. The thing that resurrected the PRAYERs is gone. All that is left is cleanup. It can be over. And the Major is down, so nobody is entirely sure who takes over now until Graveyard sends another officer. Her second-in-command is sort of organizing everyone now, but he seems more shocked than anything. He never liked Kagura, but well, it's Kagura - he expected to be dead before he saw her down.
In this chaos, it could be doable for concerned someones to get in and see how Kagura is doing if they're willing to be bold about it. And what such a person would find is... Kagura's huge body left listlessly against a corner, nobody paying it any mind at all. It's opened up while the hole in the gut remains, still vaguely glowing like heated metal - and instead of looking at it, technicians and medics beaver around a center table that looks very much like an operating table staffed with strange, esoteric crystal-y tools. And in a moment when a few of them move away to get some weird flask, what is on the table can be seen.
A tiny, clothesless, fairylike female figure with a semispherical lower half, and an upper half littered with scars that don't look new.
A Mistletoe.
It seems most definitely hurt, its lower half is chinked, but the technicians around it are wiping off their brows. It looks like she's out of danger for now, and resting. Kagura's armor is still laying on the corner, lifeless.
What the hell is going on?]

I thought Mistletoes worked in conjunction with other Executors.

...I guess there's no point tossing you people out anymore, is there? [The young woman shrugs]
Yeah, they normally do. Kagura doesn't. Don't ask me more than that - she comes in here for a checkup every week, that's all I know about her. You'd have to ask someone higher up to know what's up with the KOG suit.

Besides... everyone's so in the dark when it comes to the PRAYERs what's another mystery that'll never be answered?

"It's all pretty much academical anyway, right? Aren't we out of a job, anyway? No PRAYERs anymore, after all..."
"Eh, I'll believe it when I see it. Let's see if we can go two years without a PRAYER attack and I might believe it"

"Who, Kagura? That's ridiculous. Must have had some secret orders from high up or something"
"Yeah, remember that time they tried to bomb a Shaft? She got the order to carry a several megaton bomb through a PRAYER attack alone and she didn't even complain. She's crazy."
"She's a Mistletoe, man. They told her to do it, she did. It's like saying your oven is crazy for overheating when you left it on"

[Albhard repeats the word, looking between Kagura and the technicians.]
That's a very strong word considering the thing you're talking about is a person, not a thing. In front of her, for that matter.

"You want me to play you a violin? I can use "bump off" like she was a person, if it'll make you feel better about yourself. Hell, she's killed people for betraying orders before, if you wanna make her a person it's fair play the same happens to her, right?"
"You shouldn't believe everything you hear, man- wait, she's awake? Shit!" [Another one of the technicians, however, seems to feel kind of bad about gossiping about someone in front of her]
"What, you're going to feel guilty now? We open her up every week. She's just a Mistletoe. There's no secret soul there"

[Albhard spares the jerk technician one more dirty glance before he looks over at Kagura's tiny little body.]
Considering what you have had to work with prior to coming to the Unity Group, quite a bit's starting to make perfect sense now.
