Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city...."Interesting. Very interesting."On one wall, multiple camera angles of the previous night played out of Galactic☆Fairy, KNIGHTMARES and Afternoon fighting the Amanojaku. Next to each Mirager, a visualisation of their waveforms can be seen, Biorhythm levels fluctuating with their fights.
"Biorhythm levels are....higher than expected."A masked man in a dark blue coat stood in a small, cramped laboratory, a young woman lying on a chair resembling a dentist's chair before him. He spoke quietly into a small microphone clipped to the collar of his coat, the wire leading down to a recorder somewhere on him.
"Mirages display heightened activity according to sensors. Biorhythm levels rising due to unknown stimulus. Presence of False Biofold Waves did not significantly reduce Biorhythm levels unlike previous tests."The camera began focusing on three people. Setsuna, Hikari and Misaki.
"Waveform patterns BRS and MLT are of interest. BRS was activated during the attack and acted as a force multiplier. Exposure to the wielder of waveform pattern BRS increased waveform output significantly; current hypothesis is that the BRS waveform has amplifying effects upon the waveform output of other Miragers. More testing will be required to understand if this was as a result of the wielder or the Mirage. Waveform pattern MLT matches onto waveform pattern ISH, last detected seven years ago."The masked man gazes at Setsuna briefly, pausing the footage on when the Amanojaku ceased attacking her, roughly around the same time she started singing.
"Unknown waveform pattern was detected last night emanating from Kamisato Setsuna. More testing will be required. Waveform pattern resonates with False Biofold Waves, causing unexpected behaviour in Amanojaku."He pauses.
"Waveform patterns NGH and KQN of interest. Waveform patterns match missing Phase One prototypes."The masked man strides over to the young woman in the chair. Her only clothing was a sleek black bodysuit, black metal leggings and gloves, framed with light brown, almost dity blonde hair, her face hidden behind a violet visor.
"Waveform pattern MRD remains stable. Waveform pattern MRD was not attacked by Amanojaku, as per the hypothesis. With proper modulation of output, it is possible to alter Mirage waveforms such that they can work with Amanojaku and output False Biofold Waves. However, False Biofold Waves still prove to be weaker than Biorhythm output as a result of audio output, which defies expectations. Waveform patterns BRS and AYM of high interest, as is the unknown waveform. Wielder of waveform MLT to be investigated for connections to the potential wielder of ISH. Phase One testing will continue to determine the source of strength of Biorhythm output."He pulls out the recording device from the folds of his cloak and clicks it closed.
"...you were unable to execute the plan. Why?" "Other Miragers appeared. I determined their threat level was too high to engage directly. I was able to remove Luna from battle for the foreseeable future, but termination was unsuccessful." "...it is what it is. You will need further testing and further modifications." "I have something to report. I...crossed swords with Shirokawa's Mirage. It was an unusual feeling. I could name the Mirage being wielded by her. Dyrwyn. That should not be possible."The masked man rubbed his chin.
"...that is interesting. Thank you." "Will this affect my performance?" "It won't. I will...make sure."He clicked the device in his hand again.
"Waveform pattern MRD performed synchronisation with waveform pattern DYN. False Biofold override may not be complete. More research necessary."Suddenly, he heard a loud vibrating, before pulling out a phone. With a light sigh, he stopped recording, putting the phone up to his ear.
"...Nago. I was expecting your call after the events of last night. Yes....Hm. Well....the EUFON High Command have some requests." "We will need you and Shirokawa to investigate Fire Soul. Yes. We suspect Professor Ormrsdottir had-""Need me yet, boss?"The masked man was interrupted by a young woman leaning in the doorway, clad in a red-and-black hoodie, short blond hair tied back with pink ribbons, and lavender eyes. Her long pale legs were clad only in denim shorts and a pair of worn black sneakers. Around her neck, a necklace held what was out of sight, but what the man knew was a Mirage.
"Well?" "Not yet. But....hold on. Next time, you may need to accompany her. Our opponents are proving rather difficult to combat and I need more combat data. Stand by for further orders, Mina." "Heh. No problem."
