Ebisu took a few bites of his food while Blue was talking. He swallowed and then responded, "Well it's quite possible we have someone like that here, though I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. But even if they borrowed my portalling ability I'm sure it would still show up on the monitor. That is how I tried to design it." He sighed, "But the more I try to find answers the more confusing the situation gets." He laughed, "I'm almost to the point of considering spirits and other supernatural beings."<br/><br/>"Well," Mai said, "By no means am I suggesting Ari did it. She didn't even have a chance but, could someone with powers similar to hers, go somewhere and take something... without actually going there?"<br/><br/>Ebisu finished his food then replied, "I see. You're wondering if someone could go there in the dream world, touch the document to bring it in with them and just walk away with it. If they were some place like the astral plane, they could go somewhere in a spiritual form that wouldn't show up on camera, and use that same power to steal the documents. Well, I don't know if we have anyone here with that ability, besides Ari. But if it's like Blue said and someone borrowed Ari's powers to do it... That might actually fit the time frame. Though it would have to be someone who knew you'd just arrived, as well as what your powers were. Then again, there may be a totally different explanation for this that we're just over looking." Ebisu put his plates in the sink and turned to Blue and Mai, "Well then, are you two ready to go?"<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>Reina sat down and put her helmet on. "I have one question before we start," she said.<br/><br/>"What's that?" asked Insei.<br/><br/>"I'd like to know just what your mutations are," she said.<br/><br/>Insei crossed his arms, "Very well. I have super-human strength as well as 360 degree vision. Those are the up sides of my mutations. The down sides are as follows: apathy, insomnia, battle lust, and the constant images of war filling my mind. I can see the future, but only for matters of war. All of what you will see on those screens are images forced upon me every moment of every day. If you cannot handle them for such a short amount of time, you have no place trying to infiltrate Aiso's ranks."<br/><br/>Reina clenched her fists with determination. "Thanks for the answer. I'm ready."<br/><br/>Insei walked over to a panel along the wall and pushed a few buttons. Reina braced herself as her screen came to life.<br/><br/>Initially, Reina felt shocked. The images she was seeing were horrific. Strong soldiers, slaughtering helpless people, their bodies left to rot. Villages burning, bombs raining down relentlessly. Starving people, no more than skin and bone, desperately clutching their dying young. Two evenly matched armies, rushing at each other in a pointless struggle. Both sides steadily being irradiated. The slain bodies trampled to pathetic rotting mush, and forgotten. Children, mothers, wives, family and friends, being told of their loved one's death. Not even allowed to see his body because of how horribly disfigured it had been. But the terrible images of these bodies were displayed clearly on the screen before her. Flesh, torn open and rotting. A face crushed in beyond human recognition. Scarred, burned, and bloodied figures, thrown into massive pits in a large combined, half-assed funeral procession. And the endless cycle of all of this happening, with different people, in different times, for different reasons, all with the same ending. Eventually, a war comes too soon. Not enough people have grown to a war appropriate age. So they bring in children. They hold guns and fight for their lives. Those who live suffer from horrible injuries and mental scarring. They can never lead a normal life again. They run out of supplies. They starve and try to fight bare-handed against enemies who are fully armed. Unrest spreads through countries and soldiers fight against their own helpless people. At first Reina is horrified, then she settles into a cold realization.<span style="font-style: italic">So this is war...</span>she thinks.<span style="font-style: italic">It truly is not the battles of strong prevailing over the weak like some would like to say. It is slaughter on both sides. With the well equipped, and more vicious being the only ones to survive. There is no room for weakness in the place we will be going.</span><br/><br/>Insei watches the screens to monitor their brain waves. He sees Reina's start out in a frantic way, but settle down into a calm cold acceptance.
