"Perseus, come in." Chrome said over the phone. "There's been a change of plans."

"Got it. Not another word." Senku interjected, making the rest of them confused.

"Right. Since we're using radio waves..." Yuzuriha muttered worriedly.

"The enemy scientist could be intercepting out signal." Tsukasa finished.

"They seemed strangely aware on what we're up to." Ukyo commented as he stood behind the sailor.

"It's safe to assume that this enemy knows japanese."

"Respond briefly as possible. What's the situation?" Tsukasa asked. "Who's there."

In the other line, Chrome replied, "It's me plus Koha-err the woman. Just two of us."

The brunette almost said their names but what they didn't know is that someone is already listening to their conversation and one of them is recording it.

"So either Gen was abducted or he infiltrated by pretending to betray us." Tsukasa stated.

"My captain's instincts are telling me it's option B." Ryusui replied with a snap of his fingers.

Senku chuckled while putting a hand on his hip, "Heh heh heh, don't need stinkin' instincts to know it's ten billion percent option B."

He then turned off the phone abruptly.

"You hung up!?" Yuzuriha said in surprise.

"Leaving too long, they can pinpoint the signal's origin." Senku calmly explained as Ukyo continued.

"Right..... Since we don't know how advance the enemy's science really is. In most battle we had so far, science had given us the leg up. But this time, the enemy might have beat us in this department."

"Heh heh, a science user throwdown? Now that's a reason to get excited."

Just then the phone began to rang. Magma, who is the closest to it said,

"What's the big idea Chrome you big goof?! You aren't suppose to call right back-"

"Greetings." The voice interrupted. "I take it that this is your preferred frequency for communication?"

Everyone was in a state of total shock, except some of them who concluded quickly that the enemy is making contact with them right as this moment and they are indeed can speak the same language as them.

In a moment of silence, Magma was obviously the first one to say something.

"Mwah ha ha, so you're the big bad guy, you got guts..."

He was once again cut off by Nikki who held him back and Xeno who spoke,

"I apologize for my poor japanese language skills, but alas, this is a conversation unfit for troglodytes. I must ask to speak to your science leader."
