I'm sure I don't need to tell you all about the incident the other day, on Nanoha's world. Part of my job is to protect Unadministered Worlds - those that don't have magic, or do have magic but aren't part of the Bureau - from the dangerous effects of Lost Logia, as well as dimensional criminals that might think a nonmagical world is a safe place to hide. To that end, my mother and I are formally taking on the case on UA #97, locally known as Earth. We're setting up for some plans; our preparations are going to take a while, and we need to make sure everything looks good before we get started.

I need some help with those plans, though. It's a little bit of an odd question, but... what does one look for in a place to live? My mother is still letting me lead the mission, and she's helping as little as possible; I have no idea what I'm looking at here, and I've spent the last several years of my life chiefly on starships. What unit of measure is an "acre"? Why do I care if there's natural gas hooked up? Are these numbers for crime artificially inflated?

[As he speaks, Chrono looks through papers in front of him in the briefing room, trying to make heads or tails of anything more arcane than "two bedrooms".]

[Her voice is tired-sounding and she stifles a yawn as the recording starts.]

Excuse me, community. The hour is quite late here but... I am having difficulty sleeping. The move back to the capital's taken it's toll and, well. I would like to have some conversation over the community.

[There's another yawn.] How about riddles? I'll start! What's as light as a feather but even the strongest man in the world can only hold for a minute? No cheating.

((From now on, Lilith will only be able to respond in voice.))

[ This locking thing just doesn't work when it comes to Edgar, it really.. really doesn't. Whether it's to Edgar or from Edgar, it seems like it never works.

This case is no different, so Lydia's voice is going to sound as though she's trying to keep herself from panicking. ]

Edgar?

Edgar, If you're getting this, it was the fairy egg that I had and now.. I'm at the cell. The one that you thought you saw fairies in when you were younger.

[ There's a pause in her voice. ]

I'm sure you knew who Miss Doris and Miss Rosalie were when you started me on this case, but.. even if you promised me you wouldn't lie again, I won't be angry. I'll keep trying to get out of my own power, but please don't leave me here alone. Come find me.
