[The feed comes on to a worried-looking Asem.]

Guys, I've lost something really important thanks to that stupid Monkey King! I'm looking for a six-sided object, about half a foot long, shaped sort of like a keystone. It's gray and has a black screen. If you find it, you need to tell me, because I need to get it back!

So what you're saying is that you need help in finding it, huh? [ Just who he wanted to see, I'm sure. ] Well, I might be able to squeeze you into my schedule..

[second_destiny]

[He'll take whatever help he can get at this point.]

Look, just let me know if you see it, all right? That thing's got more value than my own life!

[aceattacker]

I know you're kind of an idiot, but that's no way to talk about yourself. If it was worth so much, that Valkyrie would have just taken that item instead of you as well.

[second_destiny]

Because it can't be used without an operator, and right now there's no one else who can use it. It's got data and stuff on it that's irreplaceable. But if I die, then Dad can just find another pilot.

[aceattacker]

You're really pissing me off, you know. If no one else can use it, then if you die, you're not going to be that easily replaced. [ An agitated groan comes forth. ] Stop being so stupid about it and just try to think of where it could be.

[second_destiny]

[Asem would say there's more to it than that, but this is an urgent matter, so he stops.]

The Monkey King took it. It could be in a completely different district, for all I know.

[aceattacker]

Then let's just stop wasting time with talking over this thing and actually go look for it.

[second_destiny]

[He looks surprised for a moment, then nods.]

Right. Thanks.

[hegemonstratos]

... What is that thing used for?

[second_destiny]

I need it to activate the Gundam! It's also got valuable combat data on it!

[hegemonstratos]

Oh.

That's not good. I'll let you know if I find it.

[second_destiny]

Okay. Thanks. I appreciate it.

[hegemonstratos]

Hopefully one of us will find it soon.

[departed_child_of_gods]

Hmm hmm. Some sort of magic artifact? Or... technological?

[second_destiny]

Technological. It's like a smartphone.

[departed_child_of_gods]

I see, I see!

...What's a smartphone?

[second_destiny]

...Uh.

Do you know what a cell phone is?

[departed_child_of_gods]

Ah, no. Bear in mind I missed something like 1500 years of human technological development tied to the mausoleum as I was.

[second_destiny]

Um...well, a smartphone is like a mini version of the PDA, and not like a book like these. You can use it to get in contact with people, send messages, store information. Stuff like that.

[departed_child_of_gods]

Remarkable! Humans really have become fantastically advanced. Though they are still highly aggravating. It really is a pity we will never see it back home.

[second_destiny]

Uh...that's nothing compared to other stuff we have.

[departed_child_of_gods]

Like the giant mechanical men, right? They would have been so useful back in the day. We had nothing approaching even the beginnings of such technology, however.

Ah well. I can fly and shoot things just fine in my current form anyway, I suppose. I assume you want me to try to find this, ah, "smart fone" thing?

[second_destiny]

Please. I'd appreciate the help.

[departed_child_of_gods]

I will see what I can do. No guarantees, however.

Is someone specific supposed to find it?

[numberofthefiend100]

Ahh... I would think something like that would stick out...

Well, it would to me. Can you re- No... [[She wishes she could've caught that Monkey King in a trap of hers...]]

Haven't worked that out yet, but leaning toward him finding it himself.

[second_destiny]

...Huh? What was that?

[numberofthefiend100]

Sorry... I was going to ask where you'd seen it last, but I suppose that wouldn't matter enough to help locate it.

Is this the device that... powers the machine you spoke to me about before?

[second_destiny]

It wouldn't. Damn Monkey King...

Yeah, that's it. That's what I need it for.

[numberofthefiend100]

Ahh... Well... I'll do my best to look for it. Nothing of mine was taken... but, then again, I don't have anything but my clothing to take...

[rewindingly]

Lost?

[ How annoying. ]

Very well. Where have you looked so far?

[second_destiny]

I've pretty much torn my apartment apart looking for it, and I've looked all over the place on the grounds of the Wards villa. It's not here.

[rewindingly]

Very well. I will begin searching at once. Are there anymore important details regarding this object that I should know about?

[second_destiny]

Not really. Just be careful with it if you find it, because it's essential not only to me, but to the war back home!

[rewindingly]

As you wish. I will handle it delicately. Shall I call you or bring it to you immediately if I find it?

[second_destiny]

Call me. Then we can arrange a place to meet up.

[rewindingly]

Okay. Leave it to me.

... The Monkey King's antics are not expected to repeat themselves, are they?

[second_destiny]

I don't know. I hope not...but with the way Thor spoke? I bet he comes back.

[rewindingly]

I see. Thank you, then.

I'll see what I can do for you.

[second_destiny]

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

[rewindingly]

... Comrades help each other out. This is nothing.

[second_destiny]

Even so, not everyone would go to this much effort.

[rewindingly]

Then I will work twice as hard in their place. It is only fair.

[second_destiny]

Uh, that's okay, really. I don't want you to push yourself too hard.

[rewindingly]

Do not worry. I am quite durable. I will be okay.

[second_destiny]

Sorry, but it's not that easy to assure me.

[rewindingly]

I enjoy helping. [ Which she does. Even if he didn't ask, she'd have hopped at this chance and searched in secret, whether she could be appreciated for her efforts or not. ] Do not be concerned.

[second_destiny]

Well, a couple other people have agreed to keep an eye out for it. It shouldn't take too long.

[rewindingly]

Mm. Let me know when you find it. I'll keep my eyes peeled until then.

[second_destiny]

Will do. Thanks.
