Mystery Pix of the Post: Who is he? Why did the Angels hate him? Hint: Florida Good luck!
This is a devilish kawaii enjeru (Lovely Angel) Kei. A lil devil even without weapons!

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK Xavier, it's all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let's get to Ch 40 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- These towers are not Barad Dur and Isengard. Didn't know Reds was a codebreaker, did ya? Oro does this all mean? We'll find out momentarily gang. Here 'tis:-

CHAPTER 40

'The Two Towers' or 'Kei Cracks the Code'

"Sally and Kira will insist on them as well, I'm sure." groaned Gustav, his head in his hands and Garner nodded glumly.

"Hot damn! It's gonna be just like old times! Too bad we ain't going along eh Anton!" chortled Don Poporo and the other three chiefs dove for the 'Galusol' and 'Hydroxylein' on the table.

"Who says you ain't going, Mr Popo? You don't think that I'd send all four of those baka (stupid or dumb) idiots to a potentially deadly destructive power source without somebody to supervise 'em, do you? All four of you chiefs are going with them to 'Ariadne'. Your 'covers' will be as 'technical advisors' to the scientific guys. However, since in the field anyway (ahem) she does outrank every single one of you-" said Vito.

"Don't say it sir. Please?" begged Garner.

"Marshall O'Halloran is mission commander Dr Kleinholdt is project leader. The rest of you are welcome to send your own representatives along to oversee your own interests if you wish but they go as 'observers'- and nothing else. Katie (Vito Galadriel was one of the very few people who could call O'Halloran 'Katie' and get away with it!) will be in charge of all security arrangements, day to day daily shipboard routines, meals, lodgings, in short everything except for the actual 'time sight' endeavours. You will be permitted to return everyone else aboard to 'Shimougou' first, however, the 'LA2' will afterwards take 'Klink' and the rest of the teams to 'Ariadne. Katie will stay behind until these blasted 'Solo/Alorien' peace talks conclude. She will then either fly herself, as I fully expect her to do or be flown out to 'Ariadne' to take command from her new temporary exec Colonel and Acting Brigadier Marlene Angel. Wing Commander Donovan is to be the ship's (Vito thought a moment) chief weapons officer. I do not repeat do not want her in command of anything except the weapons and I want the 'God Gun' prepped and ready for use at all times. If these 'Coruscant'/'Dune' peace efforts fall through we may well have to use it to stave off a full blown war. Suba Sawaguchi will be comm and transport officer. Anyone who wants to that they want or need can accompany them but the kids must stay behind. I am not sending children into a possible war zone, that certainly am not. Thanks for coming and hearing me out. All of you have your orders. Good luck, tomos watashi (my very good friends). Galadriel signing off." said Vito and he blanked his vidscreen.

There was a general 'groan wave' from the rest of the constituents. Anton glared icy daggers at Don.

"When the Fxxx are you ever going to learn to keep that big fat mouth of yours shut?" he grumbled.

"Why? Oro did I do?" complained Poporo who was feigning innocence.

"It really would be quite unfair not to inform these four ladies of our changes in plans, gentlemen. So- who is gonna tell 'em?" asked Rafe Donnelly.

"I'll tell Kome." volunteered Don immediately.

"I got Marlene." put in Gooley just as quickly.

"Donovan for me." yelped Garner after Andy had made his choice.

"So I lose eh? I get to tell- her." said a dejected Anton Wilhelm Gustav sadly.

At dinner later that evening the 'Unholy Four' were quite amiable and even Kei seemed to be in a jocular mood so Anton asked her if she'd care to shoot some pool after dinner. When she politely declined his offer he suggested a private conflab in the ready room to discuss her upcoming 'Academy' duties. Kei eagerly agreed thinking it would be the perfect method of telling him she wanted out of this Academy gig. Maybe she could weasel Anton into trying to talk a transfer for her out of Charles Garner.

She hit the ceiling and then some when he disclosed her actual upcoming 'duties at the Academy'!

"Ya want us to nursemaid a Fxxxing bunch of scientific goofballs and kooks? Oro (What) about Leia and the King of 'Rygiel's peace talks? (Anton merely stared into space) Shit! That's oro (what) I thought you'd say. So I follow the 'LA2' when these talks end huh? And the Vacuumhead's in charge until then? Nai? Mar? But she's only a colonel and the airhead outranks her! Acting Brigadier? OK but only if you're sure it's only temporary because if Blondie's really a star officer I can't very well make her the 'LA3's commander, can I? And Mar's heart is set on a ship of her own. None of the kiddies are coming along this time? Hooray! In that case, Willy- I'm in! OK if I use the 'Raphael' for my own personal transport? Great! Where's the new lab gonna be? 'Ariadne'? A battle moon? They're gonna use a 'supernova' for a frigging power source! Willy, are all of you guys off your rockers or is this just a heavy acid trip you're all on, man! Did ya forget that it was the 'Kronos' nova energy source experiments that started all this shit in the first place?! OK Willy. I'll hold their little hands and protect their little asses but if things get too Fxxxing dicey I'm pulling the plug on this mission and yanking their Kami shimatta (God damned) ivy league asses outta there! Ya got that, tomo (friend) mine? (Anton nodded wearily) OK, then the sooner we rid of these brats the better! Gene expects to make planetfall ashita (tomorrow) before 1000 hours (10AM). Anton, I ain't gonna tell anyone about this crap until we ditch the kids. Are gonna need to use the 'zero room' this time around? Nai (No)? That's good to hear because some of my more important crewmen re on the 'staying' list and I need 'em at their stations not cooling their heels belowdecks. Oh yeah- Willy, I should tell ya that I do intend to demand a transfer outta the Academy and back to active TC agent duty with your Unit 9 and the Vacuumhead will probably want to go back to Don's Unit 237 Unit too. Kome might opt to stay on at the Academy but if Mar's got a chance at her own starship command she sure as jigoku (Hell) won't! Just thought ya oughta know, pal. Now about that game of pool--" said the redhead.

Anton agreed and the two of them went back down to the rec room. Anton secretly wanted the 'Deadly Dynamic Duo' back- Kei with his Unit 9 and Yuri with Don Poporo's Unit 237, however he already knew that Charlie Garner and Andy Gooley wanted to keep 'em both at the Academy where they couldn't destroy anything else and get the 'G Twins' (Garner and Gooley) into any more hot water!

After the redhead had beaten him five games out of seven Anton had had enough of her for one night so he conceded the eighth game, said his good nights and went to bed.

Meanwhile Don had simply flat out 'ordered' Suba Kome Sawaguchi to remain aboard the 'LA2' when they returned to the Academy and the strawberry blonde had grudgingly agreed.

Marlene Angel took her pseudo promotion to Acting Brigadier with a yawn and agreed to run things until the Boss showed up. Andy Gooley had expected this which was why he had volunteered to break the bad news to the blonde navvie/pilot/commander.

Garner figured that Maureen (Yuri) would be an easy job as well which was why he'd picked the violet-maned minx vixen wing commander as his assignment. He was, alas, sadly mistaken!

"Oro (What)? You are demoting me down to weapons, sir? I am the ranking 3WA officer right behind the dodo ya know! I should be the interim commander, sir. So I guess Kiva will be running our 'Angel' until the Boss decides to show up? Nai (No)? Then who, sir? Who? Marlene Angel? Charlie, she's only just made Colonel! She's an Acting Brigadier? Only temporarily of course, sir? I guess it's OK then. After all she's been virtually running the whole darned ship all by herself for the last couple of years, sir. You do know that Kei has promised her command of the 'Angel 3', don't you, Charlie? (He nodded) Will she still get it- after this mission? (He nodded a second time) And you do know that the Boss and myself want to be field agent TCs again and get outta that darn Academy gig? Sir?" prompted Yuri and Charles Garner nodded again.

"Yes and I also know that you are not getting transferred. Neither one of you. (He held up a hand when Yuri yelled "Shit!") Sorry, my dear Maureen. I know that Don wants you back and that Anton really wants Deirdre back too but 'God almighty' hath spoken so there is an end to it. Uncle Vito wants the two of you to continue training our cadets at the Academy. It really is all your own faults, Maureen. If you and Deirdre were not such damned good instructors Lee Chan and Stan Gazelle (Anton's brother-in-law and the Angels' beach volleyball coach a few years back) would be stuck with running the place instead of you guys. Kome will be asked to stay on with you but just for the next semester. After that, however, she is slated to become Mar's exec on the 'LA3'. Until then her exec will be Lee Chan. If all goes well, in another year or so Lee and Stan will replace Deirdre and you at the Academy while she and you will become the commander and exec of a brand new elite unit we are soon to form. I cannot really tell you too much about it now but it will have its roots in these 'time sight' experiments." said Garner and Yuri nodded her head abstractedly.

"Uh huh. Yeah, the 'Avenging Angels', sir. Tell me this, Charlie. Will our first two new trainees be Annie Hathaway and Keitarou Riff?" she joked with a grin.

"Even I cannot hope to know what the future holds, however, there are more things twixt Heaven and Earth than are dreampt (dreamed?) of in your philosophy, my dear child. If there is nothing else (Yuri shook her head) then I bid you good night." said Charlie Garner and he polished off his gin and OJ before seeking his own bunk.

Yuri yawned a few times and then went up to her own quarters.

Kei had checked on her bridge crew and then gone down to the 'star room' for a quiet think before turning in.

"Am I to be like Edward Nolan (the man without a country) slated never to go home again or am I to take after the Master of the 'Flying Dutchman' (the ghost ship doomed to wander the seas forever and never is her crew nor her captain ever to set foot on dry land for all of eternity. Her Captain cursed a storm and said 'may we reach land tonight or may we never reach land again!' and he got his wish if you choose to believe in curses that is) doomed to wander these galactic oceans and cosmic seas for all eternity?" she mused aloud.

"So philosophical for one so young. Is there something troubling you, my dear Boss?" said a quiet voice behind her.

"Just wondering if I'm ever gonna get back home again and get to stay there for at least a little while, Doctor. I suppose you've heard all about 'Ariadne's Thread' and about those damned peace talks and oh Hell! Is there anything a Fxxxing time lord doesn't know? I doubt it. I'm so bloody sick and tired of running that Kami shimatta (God damned) Academy it's Fxxxing pitiful, dammit! Why can't I just be a frinnin' tro con with Willy's department again like I was before all this 'Kronos' crap got started? That's all I ever really wanted, Doc. Can ya look into your magic crystal ball and tell me oro (what) the Hell my future holds for me? Can ya do that, me boyo?" said a very glum redhead who was still staring out into the nothingness of space.

"Even if I could, Poppet, I would never be permitted to tell you of your own future. I'm sorry but all I can say is that the future is not necessarily set in stone if you, as Perpigillian would say, 'get my drift', girl Don't worry so much, kid. Good night." said the Gallifreyan and he left for his own digs.

"Thanks, Doc. Night." replied Kei and she too headed for her bunk. Soon the only souls not asleep were the bridge crew and the guards. Just before the day shift took over at 0800 (8 AM) Joey Bishop spotted the 'Shimougouan' inner markers and locked onto them.

"Good morning, Mr Bishop. We'll take it from here, son. Ah, I see that you've locked onto the markers already." said Gene Starwind.

"Can you er land us OK, Cap?" asked Bishop and Han Solo smiled.

"Who the Hell do ya think's been docking this tub for most of this mission, kid?" he drawled and Joey left to get some food and sleep.

Gene warned all hands to 'strap in' at 0900 (9AM) and docked the massive starship the 'FC Aerospacedrome' a half hour later. The Boss reached her bridge at 0945 (9:45 AM) with Yuri, Kome and Mar and then she pointed at the blonde 'Brian Westbrook' of the 3WA. (OK if you don't know the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles' football team you will not know that the team would be lost without BW who can run, receive, run back punts and kicks and even fill in as guard and blocker)

"As of now Colonel Marlene Angel is an Acting Brigadier by the direct order of 'God almighty' himself- Mr Galadriel. As I have other duties to attend to I am hereby handing command of this vessel over to her. This ship's new mission is to provide both transport and security for Project 'Ariadne's Thread' and her new destination is the battle moon 'Ariadne'. Wing Commander Yuri Donovan is hereby appointed temporary weapons officer and Suba Kome Sawaguchi will be this ship's comm and transport officer. Acting Lieutenant Nami Richards will continue as the ship's naviagational officer and Lieutenant Rally Vincent will remain the scanning officer. Each of these officers has already been briefed by our chiefs. Until such time as I return to assume my command the mission commander will be Acting Brigadier Angel and she will have 'carte blanche' (absolute) authority over all aspects of this mission including these 'time sight' experiments. Anyone who has any objections to these orders is to be referred to me- personally. Good luck and may Kami (God) bless you all. Sayonara for now. Mar, the comm is yours." said Kei. Mar saluted but the redhead was already gone.

"Mugghi, Nammo. You're with me. I'm taking the 'Raphael' for my personal transport for my own mission. Let's go, Furball." she said and left for the docking bays.

The 'Raph' touched down at 'Takachiho Academy' a few minutes after 1000 hours (10 AM) and the kawaii (lovely) redhead left Mugghi and Nammo to watch the shuttle. She had already (reluctantly) changed into her brand new full dress Marshall's uniform and thought to herself that she looked more like 'Kommandant Colonel Wilhelm Klink' than 'Klink' Kleinholdt looked! The Boss clamped a 'morphing' bracelet on her wrist and spun her twin Mark XIII's into their holsters just like old Marshall Matt Dillon from Terran TV's 'Gunsmoke' shows. Kei debated on slinging a plasma rifle across her back but finally decided against it. It might have been viewed as hostile, however, as a 'UG'/3WA officer she was required to be armed while in uniform and/or on duty so there shouldn't be any objections to her sidearms or her laser sword hilt.

She drew in a deep breath and exhaled it. Then she quickly strode into the proctors' lounge which had been hastily converted into a makeshift conference room. Leia and the 'Rygielian' leader were already there and both arose from their seats at the huge oval conference table when the Boss entered the room.

"Good morning, my dear Marshall. Thank you for coming." said the King of 'Orlean'.

"Yes Kei. Thank you so much for your assistance and on such very short notice too. I really must apologize for--" began Leia Solo but Kei held up a gloved hand.

"No need for all this damned formality, is there? I'm just here to moderate these discussions. I appreciate that you both trust me enough to ask for me personally. (She then explained why Yuri wasn't coming as well. Both King and President agreed that Yuri Donovan's skills at space technology and PDO graphical engineering were needed elsewhere then a peace conference) Now before we begin could I ask you for a small favour? Might I please have some breakfast first? I am famished. It's been a long damned mission and I ain't really had an uninterrupted meal in weeks. Would you care to join me?" asked the redhead, her finger on the replicator's 'activate' bar.

Leia and the King gratefully accepted and Kei repped up the victuals. When all three had their plates in front of them and Kei had served java to them all she spiked her java from her silver pocket flask. Leia frowned but said nothing. The 'Rygielian', however, insisted on trying some of Kei's 'golden elixir' and pronounced it to be 'the best damned booze I've had in many a bloody moon!'

Kei ate like a ravenous jacaronda beast, Leia ate daintily and the King ate like he was afraid someone might take his platter away from him! Kei poured more 'java royale' for herself and the mellowed 'Rygielian' and plain unspiked java for the princess.

"That was great. Now I think we'd best begin eh? Since I'm merely a master of ceremonies here could one of ya tell me oro (what) the Hell this crap's all about so's I don't muck up too much and come off looking like a total Limurian jackass? How's about you, Leia?" asked the Red Marshall.

Leia glanced at the King who waved away any objections so she quickly explained matters to the redhead.

"So now you see why this matter is so secretive, my dear Boss Lady?" said King Galdonicus Alorien and Kei yawned.

"You two baka (crazy or dumb) idiots have got your knickers in a twist over that Fxxxing load of crapola? Get real, man! You guys remind me of the Lilliputians and the Blefuscans and their egg wars! (Kei explained that Jonny Swift was one of the 'grinning fool' Doctor's (Doctor 4) fave Terran authors and in his best known novel 'Gulliver's Travels' the title character came across a race of little people called Lilliputians and they were perpetually at war with the Blefuscans, another bunch of Munchkins, over whether soft boiled eggs should be opened from the larger or the smaller end of the egg!) Let's see if I've got this straight now eh? 'Coruscant' (Leia's 'New Republic' capitol) has a watch tower which just happens to face towards 'Rygiel 6' and 'Rygiel 6' (A planet in the 'Rygielian Empire' which Galdonicus Alorien ruled over as Emporer) has a watch tower which just happens to face towards 'Coruscant', correct? (Sadly Leia and the King nodded in agreement) The 'New Republic' wants 'Rygiel 6' to move their tower so it faces away from 'Coruscant' ("Yes." was Leia's answer) and 'Rygiel 6' wants 'Coruscant' to turn its tower 180 degrees so it faces away from them? ("That is correct, Marshall." stated the King) Have either one of you two morons ever tried to use giant antigrav units to move a whole Fxxxing building?!" exploded Kei angrily.

"Now see here, my dear Marshall--" interjected the King.

"Boss! Cool it, girl!" yelled Leia Solo.

"Shut up! The pair of ya! First off- Galdo- I ain't your dear anything and second- I hate titles so just call me Kei or Boss please! Now you two listen to me. My question was have you ever used a giant antigrav device to try to move a brick let alone an entire building? (Leia and the King shook their heads) Well I have and it ain't easy-believe you me! If you miscalculate by so much as a nano-millimeter you'll have yourself a nice big hole straight through the whole frigging planet! Do these two towers of yours have any weapons pointed at each other? ("of course not, Reds!" shouted Leia. "We would not dream of arming a simple listening post, Boss!" agreed the King) So why not just wall over the view ports on that side of each monolith and use the opposite side for the observation ports?" suggested Kei and she fired up a cheroot. Leia coughed discreetly and the King puffed away on his Meerschaum pipe. Slowly the nodded to each other.

"So? Are ya both happy campers again?" yawned the Boss and she stole a glance at the wall chromo. Almost 1100 (11 AM). If she was real lucky she might just be able to wrap this thing up by lunchtime and lift off for 'Ariadne' at half past twelve. She realized that she didn't need a 'yotsuba' (four leaf clover) for luck after all.

"Such a simple solution, Kei. Thanks ever so much." said Leia at last.

"I really must admit that it is a would never have thought of myself, Madam Boss." agreed the King.

"Glad I could be of service to ya. Shall we have some vidpapes drawn up for your John Hancocks?" asked the bored redhead.

"I had to hustle all the way back here and give up my ship for this schoolkid bickering? I'll retire to Bedlam." she thought sulkily.

"You know what we want so just put it all down fancy on a holo vid doc for us. OK by you, Princess?" said the Rygielian.

"Definitely, sire. I trust Reds completely. Shall we shake on it, sir?" replied Leia.

The two leaders shook hands and while Kei trilled one of her Academy's stenos (Tomoko Fujiraka) and told her oro (what) she wanted and how it was to be worded Leia and Galdo were chatting away like old tomos (friends).

"Rush this one through for me, please, if ya can, Fuji? The sooner these two sign it, the sooner I can get on my way again. Ten minutes? And you'll deliver it to me? No, not my office. We're in the proctors' lounge behind Donovan's office. Domo ariagatou (Thank you very much), kiddo and I owe ya one for this. Kei out." she trilled. Then she asked her guests if they'd like to join her for lunch after the vid docs were all signed, sealed and verified. They agreed so Kei trilled that she wanted a private room reserved for them at the Academy's dining hall.

"I'll hold the VIP Room for you, Marshall." trilled Wilma Deering, today's head hostess.

It seems that in Kei's Academy the students and cadets pulled KP duties same as her guests aboard the 'Angel' did. Finally the vid docs had been signed, sealed, verified, all the remaining red tape crap had been dealt with and Kei had finished her lunch with her two guests. She shook hands and then turned them over to the school's temporary headmaster Senior Tro-Con Lee Chan. His superior the real temporary headmaster Chief Steve Gazelle was on assignment. Then she bid them all adieu and trilled Mugghi.

"Hey Furball! Beam me up- now!" she trilled and dematerialized but just as quickly she rematerialized back in her own control cabin 'bridge' aboard the 'Raphael' beside Mugghi.

"We're late enough as it is so take us to 'Ariadne' and don't spare the hyperdrives, Furball." she said and strapped herself into the pilot's seat while the huge white nekomata strapped herself into the co-poilot's seat and hit the thrusters almost before Kei had finished securing her straps. When they reached Warp 15 Mugghi cut in the twin nacelles and accellerated to Warp 25.

"Hold us at this speed and put us on 'George', Mugghi. We should reach the moon around 2100 (9 PM) tonight. Better get yourself some rest. I'll be OK up here with Nammo. Continue to monitor all systems, Nammo. Use the room across from mine, Furball. I'll trill ya for chow at 1700 (5 PM). Off ya go, kid." said the Boss and the big neko (cat) meowed and left. The redhead wasted no time in getting out of her stifling 'party togs' and changed into black halter top and grey cut-off jeans. She reclined her chair and stuck her bare feet up on the console.

Frowning at her vidscreens she ordered 'CC' to pull up everything he could find in his memory data banks on the 'time sight' experiments. 'CC' dutifully did so and after she'd read through three entire screens of data which had read like a press release to the holovid papes the redhead advanced to the next screen and it was blank.

"Is that it, tomo (friend)? Are ya sure there ain't no more on 'time sight'?" she asked dubiously.

"Nai (No), there's a Helluva lot more Katie but you er don't have the proper security clearance for it, ma'am. Sorry." he replied.

"Need I remind ya who the head of Project 'Ariadne's Thread' is, my tomo (friend)? I order ya to release the rest of this 'time sight' crap to me at once. That is to be construed as a direct command from your commanding officer, 'CC' so put it onscreen now." she ordered angrily.

"OK 'Lovey'! Don't get your knickers in a twist, me darlin' 'Katrina'! Here 'tis, 'Bridget' me fine colleen and it do be agin me better judgment, that it be." replied 'CC' saucily.

Her vidscreen lightened and then a block appeared on it not unlike the name block on Hellcorrespondence.com which was used to summon the HellGirl on old Terra.

'**Eyes Only** Double Red/Grey Card Holders And Above Sole Viewers Permitted Access To File 666** By Order Of 'GOD ALMIGHTY'** was printed across the screen above a blank dialogue box.

"So it's encrypted eh? 'CC' cannot 'legally' allow me access but he can hit to me the proper coded passwords." she thought.

"OK, let's see. The highest echelon codes are in two parts, a password and an authenticating code word. Usually they use two word passwords of five symbols each. The authenticator word could be of any length of course but it can have no relationship to the password. Hmmn, he couldn't gimme both words together but he would gimme the first 'hint' early on in his message. He called me 'Bridget' but that's Yuri's 'cover' name. Mine is 'Maureen' or 'Deirdre' so he's saying the second part, the authenticator word, is a name, a seven letter name. So- that must be 'Katrina'. Now for the password. Tomo (Friend) or not he wouldn't dare call me anything affectionate so the first word is either 'Darling' or 'Lovey'. Probably 'Lovey' since it's five letters and 'Darling' is seven. But why 'Darling' so close to the authenticator word- 'Katrina'? Wait, Yuri's fave film star was that ancient Terran 'Dean Martin' and she simply adored him those old 'Matt Helm' films, right? Now oro (what) was the name of that dingbat secretary he had? Two names and they rhymed but oro (what) was it? 'Lovey' something. Got it! 'Lovey Dovey'. That was it and it explained the 'Darling Katrina' entry. The 'D' was for 'Dovey' and the authenticator was 'Katrina'! Clever, 'CC'. Very clever indeed." mused Kei silently.

She tapped in 'LOVEY DOVEY' and hit 'OK' which brought up a second screen with a dialogue box containing seven asterisks.

"Moment of truth. So far, so good." she breathed and tapped in 'KATRINA' quickly. Suddenly her vidscreens were filled with all kinds of 'technogeek' jargon and drawings of Kami (God) knew oro (what)! After nearly anm hour of reading Kei O'Halloran finally realized just why she had been chosen as this mission's commander.

"Shit! They must all be Fxxxing baka (crazy, dumb, stupid) lunatics! The whole Kami shimatta (God damned) lot of 'em! I Fxxxing Hell won't do it! Never again!" she fumed and began to download the 'Kronos Time Sight' project data into her own PDO.

"They tried this before, didn't they? In 2140 and look at oro (what) the Fxxx happened when Keisie accidentally fired her 'God Gun' into a bloody supernova! A gigantic black hole in the continuum which I had to put to rights! And now 'Klink' and his kooks wanna try it again?! Well no Fxxxing way in jigoku (Hell) is that gonna happen again! Not on my shimatta (damned) watch it ain't, that it certainly ain't!" Screeched the kawaii (lovely) redheaded firebrand Amazon with fire flashing from her emerald green aizu (eyes).
