(Nomad): Leraje ?
(Leraje): what are you two doing here ?
(Eurus): we would like to know more...
(Leraje): on what ? There is nothing to know.
(Nomad): yes. We would like you to tell us your story, with the Alphasts.
(Leraje): it's a bad idea. The other one must have placed cameras everywhere here.
(Eurus): at least that can prove to him that you are not a bad person.
(Leraje): you're not wrong...well, put yourself here. If you fall asleep, I can't help it.
(Nomad): don't worry about it.
(Leraje): good...it was several years ago, I had just been transferred to a new red team in England. They had already noticed my potency and therefore decided to give me a test. My mission was to eliminate these creatures.  Normally they were supposed to be all gone and...yes ?
(Eurus): why were they all exterminated ? Are they dangerous ?
(Leraje): The elites have never liked to be outmatched and the Alphasts are, by far, stronger than us. To give you an idea, the power of only one of their members is equivalent to that of five or six of us.
(Nomad): they are incredible. Some worshiped them as gods before.
(Leraje): when I arrived at the place indicated, I did not have to wait much. I saw them, they were beautiful. They were two men, two immense creatures, half feline, half human. I wanted to end it quickly but when I was about to attack them, two more arrived. Two children, surely theirs. Obviously, they were ready to defend them but I stopped. I was not able to kill this family. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen that I was being watched.
(Eurus): Did they follow you ? But did they kill then ?
(Leraje): no, I managed to protect them.  I held them back as they left. You surely know the rest: I was judged unfit to continue and I was excluded from the team with a warning and the prohibition to approach them.
(Nomad): and...what happened to them ?
(Leraje): I don't know. They must live peacefully, hidden somewhere. That's what I hope anyway.
(Eurus): it's incredible. I would love to meet them.
(Nomad): Creatures like them are legends now. Some people still believe in them, others think they are just pipe dreams.
(Leraje): What is certain is that they are the last of their kind and that they are in danger. Anyway, now that you know everything, go back to your rooms, it's late.
