Description: Incident 32435-H-E1


“This is Soledad security forces to Orbital Command. We have detected an unidentified ship approaching landing pad X-15543. Groundside would like to request reason for failure of notification from Orbital Command.”

”This is Admiral Rathnashyam confirming that all orbital sensors and defense platforms have returned negative for this IFF. I will forward a report on this security oversight to the office of the Navy Chief of Staff. Observe and be prepared to engage with caution.”


A police bot approached the ship as it landed and opened its bay door.

“All non-Citizens and Level-0 personnel are restricted from this area. Please identify yourself with a photo ID and submit to a genetic scan at the checkpoint.”


The soldier walked out of the security booth to greet the mysterious stranger.

“Good afternoon. If I could ask you to remove all metallic items from your person, including keys, loose change—”


In an instant, the stranger produced an array of weaponry.

“Holy shi—”


Before the guard could finish his sentence, the stranger gunned down both him and his robotic assistant.


”This is Soledad security requesting backup. We have a security breach on landing pad X-15543.”

Trattorian reinforcements streamed in towards the landing pad, taking aim with their guns. The stranger discarded her USA M16 in favor of an Assyrian heavy laser.


The soldiers’ effort was for naught, as less than an eyeblink later the stranger had perfectly gunned every one down.


“They never learn” the stranger remarked, shaking her head as she advanced.

Nice Matrix reference.

Follow the white rabbit.

The mysterious stranger entered the lobby of the Biology Department headquarters with a flourish, her steps clanging against the metal floor.


“Is she holding a gun?”

“Why is an armed middle-schooler here?”

The secretaries, businessmen, and scientists flee for their lives, the stranger simply shaking her head at the pathetic sight.


”Target is a confirmed Stannic-class anomaly. Containment operations now fall under Black Box Bureau jurisdiction. Trattorian Recovery Force 10687 “FedEx Handlers” en route to deploy via teleport with Lancelot support.”


”TRF 10687, flank the target while Dr. Narcisse provides fire support...”


“This might require something heavier,” the mysterious figure commented to herself. Discarding her Terrorkhan rifle, she pulled an RPG out of her buckler.

”...Slade and Cap, advance on the target at a steady pace until I give you the go-ahead to fire. Prepare to use tel—”


The tense scene froze as the stranger calmly turned her time buckler.

“They always assume that I have a teleport ability, or some form of super-speed.”

She allowed herself to smirk a little.

“Of course, they never learn.”

Hefting her RPG, she took aim at the petrified Lancelot.


Firing off rocket after rocket, each one hung still in the air shortly after launching.

“Not my most impressive work. Still, it should suffice” she noted disinterestedly.

“And now...”


“What the—!”

”TRF 10687, please report! Dr. Narcisse, please report!”

Dr. Pang relished dissections. As a Department Chair of Trattoria, he was always so insulated and harried with paperwork and administrivia. He enjoyed the visceral satisfaction of cutting through flesh and examining the inner workings of a once-living organism.

“Dr. Allen An Pang, I’d like to have a word with you” a harsh feminine voice addressed.


“Who dares interrupt me during a middle of a...” Dr. Pang’s voice trailed as he saw the stranger.

“This is an XMB-11 man-portable surface-to-space missile” the stranger replied. “If you try anything, it will atomize every particle in your body until there is too little left for even Miracle Cure to resurrect. I’ve already disabled the teleport and shields in your labcoat, by the way.”

Trying his best to keep his nonchalant composure, Dr. Pang responded. “Well, it seems I have no choice but to listen to you. What are your demands?”.

The stranger clenched her fist. “I despise you Trattorians. Your lack of emotions and cold, uncaring calculi remind of someone I hate. I know how your Black Box Bureau has treated other magical girls in the past. Sometimes you’ve pushed them so hard that they [TRANSCRIPT EXPUNGED]—the ones who merely died were the lucky ones. And most of all, your damn Dr. Liang’s meddling with alternate universes is what put me in my current predicament.”

“Very well then” Dr. Pang replied. Preparing himself for the worst he asked once again, “but what is it that you are seeking to gain from all this?”.


“I am willing to work with your race, however distasteful I may find it. I will cooperate with your Black Box Bureau, even contain and destroy other magical items and enemies for you while operating under a new Trattorian Recovery Force.”

She paused for a moment, as retrieving a long-ago memory.

“My one condition is that I be allowed access to all intelligence and computational resources at your disposal to find a certain person. And when I do find her, I want military resources expended to ensure her safety.”

Dr. Pang sighed in relief.

The stranger continued. “And in case you ever consider double-crossing me, never forget how close I came today, and can come in future days, to taking your life.”

She turned to exit the room.

“You may call me Homura Akemi.”

Overwatch Elite. That is who Homura whats-her-face spoke about in international memo thing. Homura is a Quantum Surfer. Do I win with my theory?

Homura's a magical girl, not a quantumsurfer. Overwatch has nothing to do with this plot so far, although quantumsurfers might get involved later.



Also, Dr. Pang wrote the memo.

Oooo, interesting stuff.

Dat time freeze, though.

Well, this is not a good thing. Not one bit.

Lets hope she hasnt done this month too many times. We already have angels, I don't know if the brikverse could handle pinky with god powers.

Bah, show killer. In one of them blacked out lines, there was exactly the space to write Overwatch Elite.

Maverick, it's better this way. Hush.

This is interesting.

My interest levels are at medium high...more may raise them.
