Haruna continued to cry for a while, until she saw Alexander's hand. Holding onto it, she tried to pull herself up, but was too overcome with grief to do so. She heard Alexander's proposal, as well as the thoughts of Angelo, Orphis and Borphis. She nearly wanted to go back there herself, but she realised that it would be futile. The Yui was lost on her maiden voyage, and someone would have to pay the political consequences. More tears flowed down Haruna's cheeks as she thought of the burden which now burdens her, and for the first time, she felt herself in Alexander's shoes.
But they are waiting for her. Not for Haruna, but for the Vice-Admiral of the Yui.
"Get us to the transport." She said, her voice low and even. "We'll use it's Warp Engine to get out of here, hopefully we'll reach a speed to we cannot be intercepted on our way back."
Taking a remote, Haruna looked at it reluctantly.
"We know what happens when the Invaders take over us. I'll detonate the Muscaen lines within the Yui with this controller. It's fail safe against any defence we have. The Yui will explode once this device is kilometer away from the ship."
Getting to her feet, Haruna yelped in pain as Alexander caught hold of her.
"Sorry... Omega got me hard, I could still feel her touches..." Haruna whispered with a voice full of fear. Alexander was reminded of the girl who was crying against the Cursed Torpedoes, crying in her room with Alexander. Yet Haruna steeled her resolve, as she began to move to the exit.
"Alexander, make sure Archive is safely tucked in. Orphis, Borphis,help Angelo and lead the way. We are getting out here."
In the transport, Haruna, assisted by Alexander and the others, plugged herself into the cockpit, guiding the vessel away from the Old Archive, away from the Yui. The transport was deceptively spacious, with a small bunk area for six people, complete with a small neuronal room, a provisions storage, and a room with a table for discussions and relaxation. During their boarding, no one needed to use any of those facilities, otherwise they might have guessed that Jupiterran transports double as civilian transports during peacetime.
As the transport left, they could see light signals from the Yui, telling the transport to get away.
[Do Not Come Back. We Are Overrun. Go Back To HQ.]
While Borphis and Orphis tended to Angelo with the transport's medical supplies in a provisions storage, Haruna's hands trembled as she held onto the detonator. Knowing that it was her duty for her and her allies, to prevent the Yui from falling into Invader hands, she has to press the button. As the transport reached a safe distance, Haruna held onto the device, but before she could activate it, explosions could be seen from the Yui, as the ship's nuclear arsenal was detonated, triggering a chain reaction of explosions along the entire ship which was connected by Muscaen Lines. Generally stable, Muscaen Gas is highly volatile when coming into direct contact with explosive energy, but only at the strength of a nuclear warhead.
The Yui's nukes were installed for this purpose, and the crew did not wait. They knew that Haruna could not bear to trigger their deaths, and as a last act of loyalty and care, they spared her the burden of sentencing them to death.
Haruna went limp as she felt the deaths in the juggernaut, and would have collapsed onto the floor has it not been for Alexander, who caught her in his arms. Haruna was crying, and Alexander slowly wiped her tears off, resting his hand on her pale face, as Haruna slowly drifted off to sleep. Bringing the girl into the bunk, Alexander realised that she still wore her armour, and that it would be best for it to be taken off. No matter how much one is trained in discipline and stoicism, Alexander knew that removing her armour without consent was simply wrong.
Just as he was debating within himself, Haruna opened her eyes as she looked at Alexander.
After a moment which seemed like an eternity, Haruna was the first to speak. "Get changed out of your armour, meet me in the neuronal room in ten minutes..."
Ten minute later, Haruna stepped out of the bunks, dressed in a light t-shirt and shorts, the only clothes she could wear under the armour without being restrictive. Alexander was similarly dressed, as Angelo was, looking better with the help from the Pink girls. Looking at them, she wanted to do a debrief when one of them shook her head, seemingly telling Haruna to relax, that they will have alot of time for conversation later. In between them, Angelo gave Haruna a thumbs up as he controlled the transport, it's controls almost similar to a universal format.
Haruna nodded as she timidly held onto Alexander's hand, guiding him in, all the while blushing. Inside the dark room, Haruna led Alexander onto a seat, as she sat next to him. Still holding his hand, she realised that Alexander could probably feel her racing heartbeat from the thumping of her wrist.
"Hey Alexander... do you want to bring me out on a date?"
Realizing how outrageous she sounded, Haruna let out a whimper as she seemed to lose her nerve, only to have Alexander hold on to her hand, pulling her back down. Haruna, slightly confused, slightly hopeful, waited for his response...

As he sat down in the dark, neuronal room while holding Haruna's hand, Alexander soon realized that her heartbeat was simply racing, and that she was probably blushing. Before he was able to say anything though, Haruna asked him if he wanted to bring her out on a date. As soon as he heard that, the black haired boy also blushed, even if it would have been hard to see that in the dark room. Probably considering his initial silence as a sign that she had said something bad, Haruna whimpered and wanted to leave, but he hold on to her hand, pulling her back down, as he tried to say something. Anything at all. But for some reason, he found speaking right now be difficult. Really difficult.
"I.. I..", Alexander said, repeating the pronoun as if it was going to give him a little more time to formulate an answer. His heart also started to race, a thing Haruna would have noticed since they were holding hands.
"I.. of course..I.. w-would love to.. but..", the black eyed boy said, involuntarily stuttering a little. He remained quiet for a few more moments, trying to find a way to say it, because he was pretty ashamed about it.
"I've.. I've been in the military for so long... it's just.. it would be my first date... and.. I'm.. I'm not too good.. at civilian stuff... I.. wouldn't know what to do..". Pretty embarrassed about that, he once again made a pause before he continued. " But. if you want to.. I'll try..", he said, then waiting for a response from Haruna, hoping he hadn't done anything wrong

Hearing Alexander, Haruna then turned back to Alexander, placing a hand on his shoulder. Sensing his nervousness, Haruna reached over to a console and tapped a few buttons. A plastic cup appeared from a dispenser, filled with distilled water. Looking at Alexander, Haruna smiled, despite her nervousness, as she handed him the cup. Seeing him drink and clear his throat, Haruna then took a sip before continuing.
"Well, then we'll have to start somewhere, don't we, Mister Werther?" Haruna asked gently, using a civilian title instead of a military one. Haruna herself was feeling nervous, this being the first time she'll activate the neuronal terminal for recreational purposes. It's used by crewmen who would like to experience civilian life while being aboard a ship, using virtual reality to substitute real life until they returned to the Constructor.
"I think you... look good in any proper set of clothes." Haruna muttered as she typed in several commands into the neuronal terminal, the letters 'V.R' appearing on the control terminal. Haruna passed Alexander a headset, like a pair of headphones. Before he could put it on, Haruna stopped him. "Inside, you might feel overwhelmed at first... I'll bring you to a place which I always wanted to go to..." She whispered as she helped put on the headphones on Alexander.
"I'll see you inside, Alexander, just relax." Haruna said as she closed the door behind her. Soon, the two are surrounded by darkness, only the light from the terminal present. Haruna put on her own headphones, tapping the screen. A moment later, Alexander felt drowsy, as he slumped onto the back of his seat, falling into a deep slumber. Next to him, Haruna turned, her eyes closing with a smile as she entered the Virtual Reality. A timer showed 2:00:00, and began to tick down... 1:59:59... 1:59:58...
Inside the Jupiterran VR world, anything and everything could be crafted in an instant. As long as an image exists, the world was crafted according to the programmer's image. That was why programmers were required to have almost perfect accuracy as they replicated the real world into virtual reality. This way, people could experience the places they've never been before, with whoever that was free to join them. The best thing? Everything was perceived to be real, until they wake up.
The Date
Haruna hopped lightly on her feet, keeping herself warm as she waited for Alexander. Dressed in a purple jacket, with a red scarf and a short red skirt which ends at her upper thighs, Haruna wore a simple white shirt as well as her brown thigh boots, exposing just that bit of skin. The temperate was cold, but not cold enough that she would need to be fully dressed for winter, or be shivering. Her casual outfit was picked by Kanzaki, who mentioned that a girl should look comfortable and cute at the same time.
Cute... Haruna thought. For her personality, being praised for who or what she is always brought a blush to her face. However, some words are simply out of bounds, where upon being called, might cause Haruna to melt in embarrassment.
Cute was one of them, and Kanzaki spent almost a week persuading Haruna to accept the outfit. Until now, Haruna felt nervous as she waited. She knew that Alexander would take the initiative. He was after all, a military man, who knew that whoever makes the first move might just be rewarded.
Hearing a shuffle behind her, Haruna turned to find Alexander walking towards her. It was the first time they're getting to know each other better in a casual setting, without the rigors of discipline to bind them. Looking at the Colonial, Haruna could feel his eyes on her, wide eyed with his mouth hanging slightly, the Jupiterran blushed as she looked to the side, on the pretense of adjusting her hair. As Alexander moved towards her, Haruna felt her nervousness increase, the Admiral looking much more handsome and cooler in a casual outfit, than the uniforms he was bound in almost every minute he spent awake.
"A...Alexander." Haruna whispered. "Well." Haruna extended her arms as she twirled around, giving Alexander a full view of her out of her uniform.
"What do you think?"

Alexander had to admit it, he was a little nervous. It wasn't his first time using a virtual reality machine, after all, similar but maybe more primitive machines were used by the Colonial Fleet in some of their training simulations. But using one in order to go on a date.. for a purpose like that... yeah, he was a little nervous. And since this was connecting directly to the brain, it was most likely going to be extremely realistic. Still, taking a deep breath, he started to feel drowsy, and then, it was like he fell asleep..
Walking towards the place where he was supposed to meet Haruna, the black haired boy was pretty amazed by how realistic this simulation was. If he wouldn't have already known that this was inside a virtual reality, there would be no way to differentiate this from the reality. It really seemed like the Jupiterrans knew what they were doing with their technology. Even the weather was perfectly replicated. It was just a little cold, not too cold to actual be a problem. For someone who had lived on a planet with a slightly colder climate, it was perfect. This was really reminding him of back home, even if he was feeling a little uncomfortable in these casual clothes. Well, after only wearing military uniforms for quite a while, this had to be expected. He was wearing a black jacket, slightly opened up at the neck, letting the black shirt beneath to be seen. The black jeans and black shoes he was wearing weren't only matching with his other clothes, but also with his black hair and black eyes. In the few occasions he had to wear casual clothes in real life, he was always wearing more darker colors, simply because he liked them. This specific outfit he was wearing right now was the one he had to wear once while visiting a planet for the Geheimes Polizeiamt, the Secret Police Office. How he got there was an entire other story, but he had to pick up some clothes, and he picked something like this, being fairly similar to the type of clothes he used to wear back when he was little, a civilian.
Approaching Haruna, the golden eyed girl turned around and looked at him, leaving him literally speechless. This was the first time he was seeing her in a casual outfit, and she was really cute.. Seeing him look at her like that, Haruna blushed and looked to the side while adjusting her hair. As he came even closer, she twirled around, giving him a full view of her outfit, and asking him what does he think. Also blushing, the black eyed boy remained quiet for a few moments, thinking of what to say.
"Well? Are you going to remain quiet?", Alexander heard in his mind. Even if he was in a virtual simulation, the fact that Mosrael was in his mind didn't change. And probably unlike the more calm and quiet Azarael, Mosrael probably just couldn't refrain herself from jumping in from time to time. "Say something you moron, have some more confidence. You don't even blink when you have to obey an order, but you're now hesitating when talking to a girl? Just tell her what you think already!". Immediately after, Alexander felt what was the mental equivalent of a slap, and started to speak.
"It looks p-perfectly on you.", Alexander said, blushing a little."You're.. cute.". Coming even closer, Alexander offered her his arm."Shall we go?", he asked.

Haruna smiled as she heard Alexander praise her. He was in a style which fit his looks and form too, and Haruna knew there and then that she'd wish to see Alexander more in such an outfit, rather than the Colonial Uniform. Also, for once none of them were wounded.
Haruna was smiling as Alexander walked over, but the word was said, as Alexander called her cute, causing Haruna to turn red in embarassment. Before she could react, Alexander has offered his arm to her, allowing him to lead her around the place. Nodding, Haruna gave him a shy smile as she put her arm around his. Alexander led the way, the couple walking through a park where festival decorations were put up. This was part of a Winter Festival back in Jupiterra, where people would gather near the end of the year to exchange gifts and meet for reunions. It was also one of the times when couples are able to meet up after a year of hard work.
Haruna walked silently next to Alexander, her arm securely in his own. She did not say a word, but Alexander could see that she was clearly enjoying the scenery with a smile on her face. Alexander has never seen her with such a look before, even when she previously seemed to be happy around him, her expression was flat, measured to a degree of control. This time, there was nothing to stop her from taking in the atmosphere. Virtual people existed in the simulation, as other couples and families walked past the couple as they proceeded through the park. Round bend, a small building stood, as the smell of freshly cooked food reached the couple.
"Alexander, are you hungry? We could grab a meal there. These restaurants exist everywhere, and they serve every food available at their best." Haruna said, explaining that the role of the VR Restaurants, which served 'food' that tasted at their best quality to the consumer. Alexander could see Haruna beaming at him, but his gaze caused her to turn away shyly more often than not. "I have not asked too..." Haruna said before they entered the building. "How'd you like this place? They used to call it 'Tokyo' back on Earth. My ancestry said that I came from this place too. This is my home."

Walking around the Winter Festival with Haruna, Alexander was happy to see her like that. For the first time, she really seemed happy. She was probably feeling well in this place. Even for him, it was comforting. Seeing such a.. civilian place was a really relaxing feeling from all the military things he had seen during these last years. He had almost forgotten how nice it was, to spend good time in a nice place like this, away from the war, away from the rules, away from the Military Index, away from the military...
For most of the time, the black haired boy simply remained quiet, enjoying the atmosphere. They were in a virtual simulation, yeah, but it was just.. so real. There were people around. Couples. Families. An entire festival going around. From what they saw, to what they heard and smelled, everything was just like in reality. Haruna was right, he was a little overwhelmed. And the fact that Haruna was walking right next to him, holding arms, was making him feel a little nervous.
When Haruna asked him if he was hungry, as he smelled that incredible smell of freshly cooked food, Alexander's stomach growled, reminding him that at least in real life, it had been quite a while ever since he had eaten the last time."Yeah.. I'm a little hungry..", the black eyed boy admitted, a little embarrassed. "Some food would be really nice.. especially if it would be some normal food. I'm sick of the synthetic food of the Colonial military rations..". Saying that, Alexander followed Haruna in her building, while she asked him something else. After a moment of silence, he answered. "It's.. amazing. I've never thought that such a place existed... the planet I was born in wasn't necessarily bad, I really loved it but.. the weather was quite brutal sometimes, and.. I was born between two Intergalactic Wars.. I've never seen such a nice and happy atmosphere back there.", he started to say. "I must admit.. I'm a little envious. As someone from a small Outer Colony..if places this wonderful existed on Earth, I don't wonder why all the Colonials have envied Earth and its beauties."

Haruna smiled as Alexander shared his story. Indeed, this would probably be a culture shock to him, but Haruna knew that these moments are limited. Looking at Alexander, Haruna gave him a smile as they walked up the steps into the restaurant. "Well, perhaps that's why the Colonies are working hard. Perhaps one day such places would exist in our homes, and we can simply enjoy the fruits of our labour... I'll take you to Jupiterra one day, I heard they have wonderful places too. It's a promise!" Haruna said with a teasing tone, patting Alexander's arm as she said her promise.
As they neared a table, Alexander, perhaps with some prompting from Mosrael, gently took Haruna's arm off as he moved to pull a chair out for her. A surprised "Oh." could be heard as Haruna took her seat. Just as Alexander took his, a waiter came over to hand them glasses of warm water, as well as a small digital pad with almost every human cuisine in the known galaxy. Taking off her mittens, Haruna adjusted her golden hairband as she surveyed the surroundings. A restaurant in a park, where the Festival was in full order. A Ferris Wheel, one of the highlights of this place, loomed in the distance, as if inviting her to ride it later.
Hearing a slight cough, Haruna snapped back to Alexander, who seemed really nervous as he placed his order. His eyes were mostly stuck to his plate, while sneaking occasional glances at Haruna. Well, it's his first time... So is it mine... Let's see if he has the initiative...
"Hey Alexander." Haruna said as she tapped her order in. "It's alright if you want to try something outrageous. After all, it's just the two of us, and it's our first time... I won't hold you at fault if you try something, a girl loves to be surprised, you know?" Haruna said as she looked at Alexander, again ending her sentence with a wink.

Hearing Haruna's words, Alexander thought that yeah.. maybe on day, peace would return again to the galaxy, and cultures like the ones from the Old Earth would rise again. As the galaxy was now though, there were small chances. While the Central Colonies managed to develop their own cultures, the Outer and Middle Colonies were an entire different problem entirely. Often, those planets weren't exactly the most welcoming places for humans. Alexander's planet, ad an example, had a pretty half climate for almost an entire half of the year. And being so far away from the comfortable center, the Outer Colonies were almost always at war. Bandits, Pirates, Keltakens, Invaders, anyone attacking the Milky Way would pass through there.
As he placed his order, the black haired boy couldn't refrain himself from looking at Haruna from time to time. After all, she looked so cute right now.. but of course, what she said next took him by surprise. If he wasn't already nervous enough, what she said and the way she winked at the end made him blush.
"What..", Alexander started to say, interrupted in the middle by Mosrael once again speaking in his mind. Sometime, that demon girl simply had no rest." Are you sure? I mean..yeah.", he said.

Haruna giggled as she heard Alexander's response to her. He was clearly nervous, and Haruna enjoyed teasing such a person when he's helpless in front of a girl. Deciding not to upset their meal by making Alexander too nervous to eat, Haruna simply engaged in small talk with Alexander, learning about the daily activities of a Colonial officer. Halfway through their talk, their food arrived. High quality food whose taste could hardly be replicated, VR technology ensures that the user would taste something nice, unless the person has a conscious awareness of a food which he or she does not like. Haruna and Alexander loved their dishes, with Haruna feeding Alexander some of her fish by hand, again giggling at his nervousness whenever she called him.
The meal was over, but the two continued to sit and chat for a while. Haruna, in particular, kept the topics solely to what Alexander was comfortable with. Not only was this a time for them to relax, but she did not want to risk any awkward moments. After a toast of wine before they headed back into the cold, Haruna stood up, and found Alexander right infront of her, smiling nervously as his eyes darted to the table, to Haruna, to the floor, to Haruna, to the window, to Haruna's eyes which suddenly seemed so much closer. Haruna has tiptoed and shot herself to bare inches from his face, keeping her eyes open all the while. Yelping in surprise, Alexander sighed as Haruna giggled again, pure laughter echoing around the restaurant as she reveled in her successful prank. Several virtual glances were thrown their way, and Haruna quickly grabbed Alexander's arm as she pulled him downstairs.
Out of the restaurant, Haruna wrapped her arm around Alexander's, as they continued walking down the path. Soon, they reached the Ferris Wheel, but it was there, near the entrance to the cabin, where Haruna stopped. Alexander, sensing her hesitation, looked at her, the shorter girl seemed to blush furiously, seemingly in conflict with herself.
"H-Haruna?" Alexander asked, concerned if she was unhappy or upset in any way. Suddenly, Haruna's hand covered his eyes, as the girl squealed, "Don't look! I'm thinking..."
"Alexander..." The hand came off, and as Alexander looked at Haruna, the girl planted a kiss on his lips. Tiptoeing so she could reach him, Haruna seemed to wobble before Alexander put his arms around her, steadying her as he got over his shock. Seeing Haruna's expression, a look of longing on her face, Alexander was slightly conflicted on what to do. Haruna herself waited, wondering if her sudden action was too impulsive, as she could hardly contain her emotions, to the one who made her experience in the VR possible. Time slowed for Alexander, until he heard an urgent voice in his head. Mosrael.
"Hey boy! Time's running out for the two of you! Can't you see it you hopeless one, she wants you to take her like the man she's hoping you are! It's a girl's test! Give her your best kiss, and while she's still swooning, carry her into the ferris wheel for your private moment! You want to spend time with her sitting or lying on your lap dont you?!"

Even if he was a little surprised by Haruna's sudden kiss, after hearing Mosrael's words, Alexander new what he had to do. Until now, he was mostly used to.. following orders. Acting only when others ordered him to. Maybe that's why he was hesitating from time to time. It was psychological thing. But right now, even if following a demon's advice might not always be the best thing to do, the black haired boy did it.
Without blinking, Alexander kissed Haruna back, responding not only to the girl's kiss, but also to her feelings. Haruna might have been worried that her action could have been a little too impulsive, but everything was alright. Alexander could also just barely contain his emotions to her, and it would have been only a matter of time until he would have probably tried to do something similar. The fact that Haruna was the one to firstly do it was making him feel even happier. He was so glad, that he was here, with her, so far away from any problems.
As Haruna was a little overwhelmed by the kiss, the black eyed boy took her up, princess style, and carried her in the ferris wheel before she was able to react. Entering the cabin, Alexander sat down, but since the place was so small, Haruna had to remain where she was, practically on his lap. Looking at her, Alexander noticed that she was really blushing hard, and he started to blush too, just realizing exactly what he had done. It wasn't something he had stayed to think a lot about. But now that the wheel started to work, the two just decided to admire the view, even if the situation could have been considered a little embarrassing. After a short while though, they calmed down, simply enjoying not only the view, but also the sensation of being close to one another.
As the cabin reached the wheel's highest point Haruna and Alexander where able to see an incredible sight, the sun slowly but surely setting down on the crimson and a little cloudy sky. Realizing the possible importance of the moment, Alexander looked at Haruna. "Haruna.. I..", the black eyed boy started to say, looking directly in her eyes, and putting his hand on her cheek, trying to kiss her. "I.. l-...". Before he was able to continue though, the wheel suddenly jerked, making the two fell on the floor of the cabin. Haruna beneath, directly on the floor. Alexander was above her, and somehow, his hands ended up on her chest, groping it. For a short moment, the two looked in each other's eyes, unable to realize what was happening. When they realized exactly the type of situation they were in, the both blushed heavily. Alexander though, probably influenced a little by Mosrael, that little devil, leaned forward, and kissed Haruna. Haruna responded to his kiss, and when they ended, Alexander whispered something, finishing what he wanted to say, even if technically, he was still groping her chest.
"I.. love you..."
Before anything else happened though, the cabin reached the end of the wheel, down, and it stopped. Both of them seemed to fall asleep, as the simulation ended.
Slowly, Alexander started to wake up, back in the dark neuronal room, inside the transport. As he was coming back to his senses,he quickly remembered something that he had forgotten during the simulation, more exactly the place where his hands were towards his end, He was going to be killed for that. He was going to be so dead, once Haruna would also wake up..

She... could not believe it. That Alexander would be so daring, it would seem that he has grown so much during their short time in the VR. As Alexander picked her up, Haruna was pleasantly surprised at his guts, carrying her into the cabin of the Ferris wheel. Haruna blushed the entire way, hanging on to Alexander as he sat in the cabin. It was small, and having Haruna to get up and sit would be extremely inconvenient, not like she would mind being on his lap...
For a moment, the two just looked at each other and smiled. Haruna, because she felt happy, that Alexander has finally taken the lead... she would love it if he would do it more often. At the peak of the ride, Alexander turned to her, causing Haruna to gasp. Knowing that this was the critical moment, Haruna held her breath, waiting for Alexander to move in for the kill.
"Haruna.. I.." Haruna felt Alexander's hand on her cheek, as she realised what he was about to do. "I.. l-..." Almost the- whaaaa!
The jerk knocked the couple off balance, Haruna as she was leaning backwards as Alexander tried to pull her in for the kiss, and she found herself on the floor. For a moment, she just felt Alexander lying on her, dazed and confused, when she felt his hands move... Panicking slightly, Haruna, totally red and about to burst into tears, was not given the chance to wail as Alexander planted his kiss on her. Suddenly his hands felt like they were in the right place, suddenly all Haruna felt was bliss.
"I.. love you..." Haruna heard as the drowsy sensation overcame her. Her head slowly spun, as she felt Alexander fading, out of the VR, back into reality.
Haruna woke first, immediately taking off her headset. Getting off her seat, she quickly moved to Alexander's chair, where he was only starting to stir. Quickly, Haruna got in front of him, pulling Alexander up and taking his headset off. Before the boy could react, Haruna was giving him a kiss, a real kiss, which he fiercely responded in kind.
"Al... Alexander..." Haruna breathed as they broke the kiss. She was perspiring, her nervousness and excitement showing as she turned a permanent red. "Th-thank you... It was wonderful..." Haruna said as she held onto Alexander. Sighing, the boy returned the hug, enjoying the moment.
"I love it. I love this." Haruna whispered, before releasing herself from Alexander "...and... I love you..." She said before a final kiss. Switching the machine off, Haruna helped Alexander up to his feet, giving him one last hug, before opening the door to the main compartment.
"Debrief me on the V.R later, Great Admiral Alexlander." Haruna said in a strict tone. "I want to know what went through your mind right after we fell onto the floor of the wheel's cabin."
Haruna, Alexander, Angelo, Orphis and Borphis sat around a table, munching on preserved fruits and rations on board the transport. They had enough for two weeks, more than enough to reach Colonial Lines. Now that the shock of battle has worn off, it was time for a new sharing.
"Orphis, Borphis. We thank you for helping us, for finding the Cure." Haruna said as she bowed, Alexander instinctively following suit. "I'd assume you were of the Old Archive... but... what are your stories? Where have you all come from?"

Before he was able to completely wake up from the slumber induced by the VR machine, Alexander was suddenly pulled up by the golden eyed girl, who immediately kissed him, completely waking him up as he passionately responded to it. As the broke from kiss, they hugged, and then Haruna said something that really made him happy.. before they kissed again. He was so happy to be here, with her. Still blushing slightly, Alexander let Haruna help him stand up before the hugged again for the last time. Even if he was happy right now, Alexander sighed when he heard Haruna's strict words. Despite everything that happened, he still had the bad sensation that she was going to kill him later for that.. still, he followed her to the main room.
After hearing Haruna's question, both Pinks remained quiet for a few moments,probably thinking about how to answer. Orphis started to speak. Or was it Borphis? It would be impossible to say. The two pink haired girls looked the same, with the same pink-reddish eyes, the same hair styles, and the same smiles always on their faces.
"We were on the ship at the time, yeah, but we were just passing by....You could say that we were somehow connected to that place, but that's a long story...Just like the story about where we come from... We're pretty old actually, even if we might not look like that... About our origins, well, we guess we can't tell you to much, but we existed long before the first man had looked at the stars on his sky... But, you could say that we are old acquaintances of the human race..." The two said, still speaking in their strange way. One of them said a proposition, and the other one immediately continued, as if they were able to read each others minds. " For the humans, we were the origin one of their mythical animal things... They called us Ourobouros... The Ones Who Bring the End and the Beginning... A long story, as we have said... On that specific ship though, we were searching for someone... Or better said, for information about the possible location of someone... and then we decided to help you, we guess..."

Haruna nodded. Indeed, the humans stumbling across the Pinks have turned out to be a blessing, with the help rendered saving the lives of Alexander and Haruna. Haruna shifted her eyes to Alexander, who despite was focused on the conversation, seemed a little nervous. Perhaps it was because of her tone when she requested for his thoughts later... after such an incident she wasn't going to let him off easily.
"Will you find your answers in the Old Archive? This transport cannot access an AI of such a scale... not even the VR, but when we get back, we might be able to assist you in searching for your answers." Haruna replied. She has not heard much of the Ouroborous, but plenty of stories revolved around such legends. She knew that these girls were not normal beings, and she just had enough information to establish their identities.
"Also, we thank you, for helping us in the old ship... without you two, we might not have survived in any way..."

"It would be possible..The Archivist should know where our sisters are...", the two pink haired girls answered, speaking in the same way."Our sisters, unfortunately, have decided to help the race you know as Invaders in their plans.. We have to find them and stop them, before they do something we won't be able to repair... The First Seal has already been broken, in the planet you call Tau Volantis...We can't allow them to open the others.."
Alexander sighed. "That's indeed... worrying. I know that something has happened in Tau Volantis, there was an incident that happened to the Intergalactic Armada, but I don't know the details. It was something big though... and even I have no idea what seals are those two talking about, we should help them.", Alexander started to say."This is something that should go to the Hegemon itself. That of course, if he returned alive.. We could use one of the testing computers of the Science Division to start the Archivist and question it.."

Haruna nodded. Yes, they have to help the sisters. Since they were directly connected to the Abyssals, surely they would be able to lend them a hand to strengthen their position. If Orphis and Borphis could get their sisters back, they might even weaken the Abyssals, giving the Milky Way an edge against them.
"Yes, we will help you. Anything that the Science Division needs, the Star Fleet will provide." Haruna said, addressing Alexander. "If it is necessary, I'm willing to talk to the Archivist as well. She seemed to be acquainted with Azarael, and you sisters should come as well." Stretching, Haruna tapped her fingers on the table for a moment. "We'll also... yes. We'll also aim to protect the 'seals' which you spoke of. You two have helped us so much, there is no reason not to trust you."
After Haruna stood and bowed, she turned to Alexander, who suddenly returned the look in shock.
"You, into the bunks. Now." Haruna muttered, her voice quavering with a tinge of anger.
Inside the bunks, Haruna closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms in nervousness. The opening of the door signaled Alexander's entry, and the moment it closed, Haruna spun on him, pushing him back against the wall gently. Her golden eyes flared, but her cheeks were red with embarrassment. Slowly, she nodded as she thumped Alexander's shoulder several times, before stepping back.
"So... you touched them." Haruna said, maintaining her glare. "It's the first time any male touched them..." Haruna, who was conscious of her body, who often exercised and made sure that her figure was well maintained as a symbol of the Star Fleet, now faced Alexander, who technically was, although Haruna would rather not call him that, a molester. "And you dared to kiss me, even when your hands... they... uuurraaaaaaagh!!" Haruna continued to punch onto Alexander's shoulders. Soft punches which really felt like he was pushed rather than struck. Alexander turned red as he heard Haruna's rant, but decided to remain quiet.
Frustrated that she wanted to ask Alexander a certain question, Haruna ended her tantrum with a headbutt into his chest, which resulted in her bouncing back instead. Finally letting off some steam, Haruna turned her back on Alexander, although she was just in front of him.
"So, Alexander... how do... they... feel?"
