Akane wakes up, finding herself lying on a bed in a empty room. The room has just one window. Behind it a man with short blue hair and round glasses is sitting by the table looking at Akane.

TAGGi: David, she's awake.

Another men with dirty blond hair joins beside him and starts talking into a microphone.

DAVID: Hi.

Akane looks at him with cold look in her eyes. A shiver through David.

DAVID: Ummm... I would nicely ask you, what is your name, where are you from and why do you need the Uglax?

Akane continues to stare witch makes David even more uncomfortable. She then slowly turns back around without saying a word.

DAVID: Ummm, okay? Could you just give us a name?

Akane takes a knife out of somewhere and throws it at the window. The guy next to David screams and falls off his chair. Akane turns back around. Taggi lookes at David, his body shaking.

TAGGI: Didn't we took all of her weapons?

Davids look is fixed on the knife stuck in the window.

DAVID: They were supposed to...

He moves his eyes back to Akane while three more people enter the room behind the window. The shortest person of the trio runs to Taggi and David, her wavy colorful hair, tied up in two pony tails, jumping through air.

SHIRO: Taggi, Davy! What are you up to?

David sighs.

DAVID: I said not to call me Davy.

He lookes back at Akane.

DAVID: We captured someone. We don't know who she is, what's her name, where is she from... Nothing.

A woman with wavy white hair steps to the window, crossing her hands before her.

MIRA: Why are you keeping her here?

TAGGI: She is dangerous. What did you think we could-

Mira puts her finger on a button and speaks into the mic.

MIRA : I'm sorry for this we'll get you out of here-

David pulles her away from the mic and turns her towards him.

DAVID: We can't do that!

MIRA: Why not? She doesn't look dangerous.

DAVID: She was trying to steal The Uglax!

Miras eyes narrow.

DAVID: And defeated 20 of our ''guards''.

Mira slowly looks back at Akane, who doesn't seem to acknowledge their existence.

MIRA: W-what?!

She touches her right gloved hand.

MIRA: W-well we could still give her some blankets and other clothes.

She types something on the controlboard and blankets and clothes appear beside Akane. Mira sighs and moves to the mic.

MIRA: Ummm, this is the least I can do.

Shiro runs to the window and leans on it.

SHIRO: I love her hair. It's so beautiful.

Mira takes Shiros hand and moves her away from the window, her voice barely a whisper.

MIRA: Common' Shiro, let's go.

SHIRO: Why? I wanna stay here.

Mira doesn't turn to meet her eyes.

MIRA: Shiro.

SHIRO: Okay.

Shiro lookes down and leaves the room with Mira. The other men who was patently leaning by the door, stepps forward.

SEI: So she hasn't said a word?

DAVID: Pretty much.

Sei points at the knife stuck in the window that Shiro and Mira didn't seem to notice.

SEI: What's that knife doing there?

TAGGI: She threw it.

Seis red eyes with a pintch of blue sparkle.

SEI: Nice.

David leans to the microphone.

DAVID: Can you tell us anything... Anything?

Akane doesn't even flinch. David sigs.

DAVID: I can't let you out until I know why you want The Uglax.

TAGGI: I have a feeling that she won't tell us anything.

DAVID: Yeah you're right. Let's go, we can try tomorrow.

Taggi and David start leaving. Before they exit the room David turns around to Sei.

DAVID: Sei are you coming?

SEI: Yes I'll be right behind you

David leaves and Sei says into the mic.

SEI: If you need anything just tell us.

He leaves the room. Akane doesn't move, her look cold as ice, fuming with anger.
