1. (Open - takes place right after Astara and Seta's battle)
[If you are one of those who attended the ceremony, you are suddenly interrupted. There is a violent tremor, followed by an explosion that shakes the entire building. The guards in the event chamber immediately leave to investigate.

Should you follow them...you'll find a complete mess in the adjacent hall: an enormous hole has been carved through the floor, and parts of the walls and ceiling are on the verge of collapse.

Seta lies unconscious on the ground nearby. And Astara, who is also injured, but still on her feet, is also there.

The guards are immediately moving to surround the Kijin in the red outfit. What will you do?]

2. (Open)


[The aftermath of Seta's battle underground is not pretty, even when she finally regains consciousness. Other than the collateral damage, her injuries have not yet healed completely; proof of just how badly her opponent had struck her.

She sits with her back against a wall, staring at the giant hole in the floor, before addressing you.]

Why...would Astara go this far...?

I am sorry...but you should leave. The Unity Group has much to do, and there is something I must make sure of myself...

3. (Semi-locked)


[As soon as she is well enough to walk (or rather, limp) around, Seta ascends to the Gloster HQ's grand chamber, where Lady Grey and the Foundation's chairman are.

Officially, Seta is here to give her report. But there is something she feels that she has to confirm, even if she does have her doubts. In all her years of knowing Astara, she had never behaved the way she did. Even though Seta didn't believe that the situation was exactly what her friend had said, something extreme must have made her act that way...

And so, she approaches her superiors with a respectful bow.]

Madame, Sir Chairman...please forgive my intrusion.

I am here to give my report on the incident that has just occurred...

[She pauses and lowers her head.]

...However, I have a question to ask you as well...and I apologize if it sounds as if I am stepping out of line...

[Despite all of her injuries Astara does not seem to miss a beat as the guards dashed in. The air around her grew colder, Astara chilled all of her injuries suffered from Seta so that she could defend herself. The first Kijin that approached had his attack deflected by Etraire while she holstered the handgun in the same motion. A second later her broadsword appears in her free hand again and she only barely deflects the multitude of attacks that were now directed at her. Naturally they eventually overwhelm her, however she continued to completely chill injury she was taking.

If she didn't look like a villain to enough people yet, Astara manages to impale one of the Kijin guards and slams him into another. She did not show any mercy, one after another she cuts down every single guard that tried to attack her. Fortunately, Astara is forced back when she notices more guards approaching. With one last look at Seta she slams her fist into the ground, creating a huge wall of ice to cover her retreat. When it disappears Astara is missing and thanks to her improvised first aid there wasn't a trail of blood to follow. ]

[In the time it took for Izuru to draw a gun, it was already over. He can only stand in the middle of the carnage, useless.]

Astara...

[He blinks, noticing that tears are starting to gather in his eyes.]

Why are you doing this?!
