After questions were answered, a man finally appears into the room, after having talked with his daughter.

"I apologize for making you all wait."

After introducing himself, Takeharu begins to explain in more detail what they've learned from this world. He goes on about the life in the city, the hurdles they had to overcome...and the strange phenomenon of the 13th hour.

"...and once midnight hits, a 13th hour commences. We had a name for a similar phenomenon in my world; the Dark Hour. However, this one doesn't seem to be caused by rampaging Shadows. We are still investigating as to why it exists...and in due time you might aid us in this task. You will all be able to observe it for yourselves quickly enough, although I would strongly suggest doing so in your own apartments. Not only are you all new visitors, previous Persona users or otherwise, but the moon is full tonight, which means the demonic population will be at a dangerous, aggressive level."

"Now before we continue, we should talk about the--"

"I repeat..."

"Damn! Six out of Twelve," A gruff-looking man stepped into the room. Judging from his outfit, he was important.

"I only know one group who's able to pull this off...the Anoli."

Takeharu looks at Kiyoshi and both men nod silently.

"We were going to talk about this later, but we don't have much time to explain who they are..."

More men appear; members of the city's Special Assault Team. About half of the men have a small flame insignia on their uniform's elbow; this signifies they are Persona users.

While Takeharu explains to the new arrivals, Kiyoshi is busy on some screens, and is talking to others by holographic projection.

"Give me a status report!"

"Sir! I've got two men down here. The doors are holding but we'll need backup as soon as you can give it to me!"

"I've got a group in route, and soon a Persona team as well."

"Reiko and myself are holding, but I believe they've been sending the blunt of their force here and in the Gemini area. No doubt to steal the prototypes we've been working on..."

"We should be able to fight them back for now, but I can't tell how many they are."

"I've got team Beta heading over. I'll send a team of Users as well."

"Sir! Massive attack in the Virgo Sector! They've broken some of the fences holding back the demonic population. There's risk of civilian casualties at this rate..."

"DAMMIT! Send a team of Wands there to patch that up as soon as they are available. I'll send a team with them to protect while they do their work."

"Sir! The Gemini Power Plant is under attack! I think they're attempting a blackout so they can get into the Laboratory."

"This is a nightmare. And where is--"

"--he went off to fight them."

"DAMMIT! We can't let him get harmed. I'm sending a team after him."

"Libra's Coin Office Tower is under attack, Sir! They're trying to get to the upper levels where we have the monetary databanks."

"A heist as well...damn they really went all out for this one...trying to cripple us from all angles."

When he's finally done, he turns over to the entire crowd. His voice is as booming as his body language. Despite the crisis he is calm and collected, easy to see why he is the Commissioner General.

"Alright listen up, since I can't repeat myself twice! We have a major crisis our hands. Anoli have broken into six sectors and my men can't fight all of them at once. None of you know me and I only know your names. Most of you haven't used a Persona yet, but I bet you've all got a few tricks up your sleeves. Magic, Weapons, Technology, whatever it is, bring it with you and we'll form you into teams. We were going to do this much more quietly later, but it looks like the Anoli have a different idea."

"Priority number one is to protect all civilians and to keep deaths as low as possible, even against the Anoli. Disarm, disable, diswhatever, as long as it's not kill and destroy. I'd rather let them in jail and face justice than to spill even more blood from this conflict." He turns around and starts to leave,

"If any of you lack weapons, talk to Q. I'm sure he'll be happy to provide you with some."

Policemen swarm around him and they start to go off in work and prepare, leaving you a bit of time before you are all called out in groups.

[OOC - Groups will be rolled later tonight, and then each mission will get it's own log. Those who wish to join in the first mission must do so in the sign-up post [LINKED HERE], but signing up doesn't mean you'll get picked - only that you are okay with joining this mission.]

...a high frequency light blade...

...made by the sentient robot...

...Q, do you have any idea how hard you just pinged Yu? Can you just feel the curiosity and interest rolling off of him? Can you?

That glint in his eyes. He saw it in his dear old friend, back at home. That old fool who never returned his things.

The case was open, revealing a reddish sword.

"The blade is actually a series of light beam and particles moving at high frequencies. Total usage should be well over four hours before it requires recharging. It can cut metal, stone...human skin, although I suggest not to do that if you can."

He pressed a small button in the middle and the blade disappeared completely.

"It is much easier to carry around like this. However, if you press this button..."

A large metal rod rose in the middle.

"A simple way to club someone, should you feel that cutting off their arm might be too barbaric." Personally, after working for agents with licenses to kill, it was said on a matter-of-fact tone. He pressed the button again and the rod slid back in place, before he handed him the hilt.

>You have gained: One high frequency light blade (prototype).

Yu gingerly accepted the hilt, his mouth hanging open in a slight o as he stared down at this beautiful weapon of excellence. So much excitement was building up at him as he touched the hilt, as he rolled it over in his hands. He had a sword... that was both a light beam AND a bludgeon... and it was developed by that awesome robot guy, and...

"...eee!"

...it was such a brief, high pitched noise that Yu didn't even realize he made it at first. Somehow he managed not to turn bright red once he finally did, however. Instead, he managed a polite cough, and discreetly shuffled away, tucking the hilt into the inner pocket of his school jacket.

...Ladies and gentlemen! Izanami's human representative of hope and salvation! Everyone give a roar of applause for this fine sci-fi fanboy!

But no, really. She is far too amused by his reaction. It's all she could do to keep her chuckle under her breath.

"Try not to break that, would you?!"

Yeah, Brainstorm had been watching. He's going to have to have words with Q over just handing out prototypes like that...

At this point, Yu really didn't trust his voice, so he just turned enough to give Mr. Awesome Robot a thumbs up.
