Mei: Kiana... Why...?

Mei utters as she stares outside the window as the ruins of Nagazora come into view.

Mei: Why did you come here

Mei: Why did you come here...?

Currently, the Helios is in the skies above the eastern part of Nagazora, or what's left of the city. The once prosperous and bustling city with three million residents is now completely deserted and abandoned after the large-scale Honkai invasion a few years ago.

Most parts of the city are flooded with water, so finding a spot to land the Helios was difficult. Still, the ship eventually found a suitable place and began its descent and deployed its landing gears as it touched down on top of a large concrete structure.

Tesla: Let's go through what we know so far

On the bridge of the ship, the sole three passengers gathered around a holographic projection table, showing a satellite view of Nagazora.

Tesla: Around 19 hours ago, the World Serpent attacked a Schicksal lab in North Africa, where Kiana was being held. Kiana seized the moment and she escaped

She explained.

Tesla: A few hours after that, our Far East post detected a strong Herrscher energy pulse in Nagazora that matched signatures from Arc City

A red pulsing dot then appears on the projected map.

Tesla: This is where it originated, but I doubt she stayed there. She most likely relocated to somewhere nearby

Mei: Kiana teleported herself to this place with her Herrscher powers...

Tesla: Most likely. But she has gone off radar since then. Our posts and satellites picked up nothing else

Akiri: She's good at covering her tracks. Probably used to it from skipping classes all the time...

Tesla: But at least, we're 90% sure she's still here. We might find more clues if we search around in the city

Akiri: Any signs of Schicksal forces?

Tesla: Negative. I'm not detecting any Schicksal ships nearby. We're most likely the first ones here. For once, we're one step ahead of them
