Sorry for the wait, I'm taking a driver's training and have been occupied playing FE:3H, which I got recently.

Robot: Certification Failure... Subject has yet to obtain access permissions.

Bileam: Huh?

Robot: Visitors must acquire access permissions from Miss Clara.

March: Clara? Oh! The girl we saw in the Great Mine?

Stelle and Bileam nod, confirming March's question. Though, Bileam does wonder how Clara became friends with robots, was it because of Svarog's influence, or was it because of her kindness.

March: We need to get permission from her? What's she got to do with this?

Stelle: She's Svarog's family.

The usually energetic and lively pink haired girl mood switches from questioning to down in the dumps as she puts one of her hand to her head.

March: Family... Huh, weird.

Dan Heng: Don't trouble yourself about it. We need to find her.

Bileam: Already did.

Everyone turns to look at the white haired male, who is currently yawning.

Bileam: She's .... in Rivet Town right now.

Seele: And how do you know that?

Bileam: I hacked the robot.

Deciding not to question it any further, they listen to Bileam explain where she's at and what she's there for before the six heads towards Rivet Town. They reach the railway, and start to look for her.

March: This is such a big town. Where should we start?

Bileam: Natasha's storage room.

So the group heads off to Natasha's storage room, easily dealing with weak fragmentum creatures along the way. They soon reach the wide open, large, metal doors as they see a broken down robot, which lets them know that Clara is in danger, so they quickly head over to where they hear her and a large fragmentum monster known as "Blaze out of space."

Bronya, shoots her gun at its body, turning its attention towards them. March quickly puts a shield on Seele, who rushes forward and slashes the monster across the chest, dealing a decent bit of damage.

Then, with her bat, Stelle swings it in an up-down pattern, causing curved lines of energy to stun the opponent. Taking his chance with the stun, Dan Heng stabs the creature with his spear, dealing wind after effects to hit it.

Recovering from the shock, The monster charges flames into itself, making it more powerful, but it was all for naught, as Bileam comes in with an ice spear, stabbing it in the creature's body. Then, Bileam manipulates the ice, causing thousands of icicle shards to stick out of the monster's body, effectively killing it as they watch the monster turn to dust.

Clara walks up to the worried Seele, who immediately ran up to her.

Seele: Are you okay, Clara? Are you hurt?

Clara: Th-thanks everyone. I'm fine. Just a few scratches.

Seele: You shouldn't be running around by yourself. It's too dangerous. What are you looking for here?

Clara: There's a fault with one of the energy supply units at the base, if I don't repair it soon, everyone at the settlement will be affected. I knew there was a workshop in this town, so I decided to try my luck here. I found all the components I need, but then I ran into a monster...

Bileam: Can I see the components?

Clara: Sure.

Clara hands Bileam the components, who flashes out of the workshop, and flashes back in around 30 seconds later.
