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.]

"Well in that case I definitely have something for you. Both to fit your style and as a fellow Intel user."

He peered into a few boxes, muttering to himself before taking one out.

"Here we are. A white-feathered quill pen. Ahh but it is anything but a tool to write. Rather a sophisticated weapons system I designed myself. Observe."

First, he pointed the pen towards a manikin farther away from them and with a small flick, a dart fired.

"Just point and shoot. There's ten of those darts hidden inside. Well..nine now. They'll take out a full grown elephant with one shot. Perhaps later you can come back for more once you've used them all..." He moved closer to a glass and put on a pair of glasses, before taking out a gun and firing.

"Bullet-proof glass," he explained. "But once you turn the pen like so..."

He gave it a single touch of the tip...and the glass exploded.

"A high frequency sonic emitter. It will shatter even the hardest of glasses. And finally..."

He twisted the quill to the other side and write in the air. The tip of the quill began to glow a bright red and then as he moved it, the words he wrote stayed in the air.

"Tiny nano-machine based particles that will stay active for a few hours. Use it to mark a target, draw arrows if you're stuck somewhere...I'm sure you'll find other creative uses for it..." He gave the area a small movement of his hand, and the words disappeared.

"It's yours, my dear."

> You have gained; 1 Quill with tranquiler gun (9 darts), a high frequency sonic emitter and nano-machine particle laser writing ability.

[She gasps as she watches his demonstration, expression filled with awe at the advanced technology.]

How spectacular! Thank you very much!

[Naminé takes it carefully, afraid of accidentally activating one of its amazing features, and strokes her finger along the feather.]

I'll take very good care of it, I promise.
