Next day, the group is sitting by the table, annoyed that they got nothing out of Akane.
SHIRO: She won't talk to us...
Ai laughs.
AI: Even I'm not that stubborn.
DAVID: Well you're more emo than stubborn.
Ai punches him in the side.
AI: I'm not emo!
MIRA: We can't keep going like this.
Taggi is looking in front of him, his look traumatized.
TAGGI: That look...
MIRA: She's obiously not from here.
DAVID: She has different ears.
MIRA: And eyes.
Taggi curls inside and shuts his eyes.
TAGGI: Not the eyes, not the eyes...
Shiro stands up and shouts.
SHIRO: And hair!
Everyone looks at her.
SHIRO: What?!
AI: Everyone can color their hair red.
SHIRO: But her hair is different. It's red.
Sei just smiles to himself, not bothering to look up from his drawings.
DAVID: Eather way, we need to do something about her. If anyone can get anything from her ...
SEI: Akane.
DAVID: What?
SEI: Akane...
He looks up and meets eveyones confusing looks.
SEI: Her name is Akane.
MIRA: H-how do you know?
SEI: She told me.
DAVID: Wait she was talking to you?
SEI: Well not talking. She just told me her name.
Ai rolled her eyes.
AI: Yeah that's talking.
MIRA: You need to get more information from her.
Sei puts down his sketchbook and looks at Mira.
SEI: I can't do that.
MIRA: Why not?
SEI: I can't just force her to tell me everything.
MIRA: But we need to know why she wants The Uglax.
SEI: She won't tell us... We need to gain her trust.
DAVID: We're trying to do that.
Sei stands up, tugging his sketchbook under his arm.
SEI: Well, I guess you're not trying hard enough.
He quietly leaves the room. Ai caughts.
AI: Savage. Not trying hard enough my ass.
Sei walks down the hallway and stops in front of the door that has his name written on it. In the room theres a lot of machines, technologies, boards with papers, screens and a big table pilled with notebooks and papers. He puts his scetchbook on it and sits down.
SEI: Not trying hard enough... Ha.
He looks at the board, full with papers. On them are sketches of a machine similar looking like a portal.
SEI: You're the one who's not trying hard enough.
He sighs and looks at the drawing of Akane and looks closely at the mark on her neck.
SEI: Hey Perl?
A programmed female voice anwsers him.
PERL: Yes Sei?
SEI: Can you scan this symbol for me?
He puts the drawing on the middle of the table.
PERL: Yes sir.
The programmed voice scans the picture and a 3D projection of the sign appears from the table.
PERL: It will take sometime.
SEI: Take your time.
PERL: It's a beautiful drawing sir.
Sei smiles and blushes a little.
SEI: Thanks.
PERL: I got something, but there's not much about it. The symbol is called Rabidscar.
SEI: Are there any associations with it?
PERL: I can't find anything... Just this planet.
The 3D projection changes into a planet.
PERL: It's called Vulmone. It's in the Zagreus Star System.
Sei is carefully looking at the planet and then smiles.
SEI: Got it! Thanks Perl.
PERL: No problem sir.
