Phase 04 text (canon move)

[slowdown]

SOS or a different help signal, it looks like everyone in the club including myself has been kidnapped by this kinda scary girl in sunglasses.

I think we’re in one of the meeting rooms at the JAXA building now but… some sort of help would be great since I don’t think Jun could even take down one person even with her awesome finishing moves.

[That girl looks... familiar--]

[Wait. The hair. The face. The-- GOOD FUCKING GOD THAT'S THE WOODLAND ANIMAL!]

Are you alright?! I think I know that girl!

[slowdown]

I'm not hurt or anything and well we're just in a meeting room so things are pretty good for being kidnapped.

You know her? Who is she then!!

[zealous_steiner]

Good. I was concerned. [For very good reasons. He doesn't know what world-line this girl is on, what her story is, or why Nae's suddenly going after a club of high schoolers...]

[He's just sure that's the kid kidnapping her.]

I could be wrong, parallel universes and time nonsense and all, but her name is Tennouji Nae. She's the daughter of the CRT shop guy who lives downstairs from me. Well, a littler and... squirrelier version of her.

It's not impossible that she's with the Rounders. Does she have any large men in riot gear with her?

[slowdown]

Not that I know of? I mean there was a van and a few people in suits but they were all unarmed.

Ah.. so a little ver of her? Wait I get it you must be in a different time period like a few of the others I've talked to.

[zealous_steiner]

[Phew. Relief is audible in his voice - he doesn't know that he could let anyone get into a situation with Rounders and idly stand by.]

Well, at least it's unlikely they have you in their custody. At this point, it's best to stand by and see what they want from you. Don't go anywhere alone - you don't know what your situation is.

You know, a different point in time may not be so far off... You may be from a different world-line, though.

[slowdown]

Alright, stick with the other club members and wait it out.

World-line? I don't know what that is but I can tell you date wise it's 2019.

[zealous_steiner]

... 2019, huh.

[Suzuha's two years old in 2019. That guy snoring on the couch is raising a child in 2019. Nae's really grown up in 2019! In 2019, he and Kurisu might be...]

[His curiosity tingles, but he squashes it almost immediately. Fucking with the timeline is never good, especially considering she may be from a time where SERN is trying to take hold. But if there's a way he can help this girl...]

I'm in Akihabara, September of 2010. I don't think there's a way I can travel forward - I don't have a world-hop - but you should be fine as long as you stick together. [She might not be fine, but panic leads to more easily falling into the enemy's clutches.]

Again, if you see anyone who's armed, contact me immediately.

[slowdown]

Akihabara, that's not to far outside of Tokyo right? I'm in Tanegashima so it's pretty far away.

Will do, but I don't know if that will help if you're in 2010...
