     I was in the technology construction lab checking out the progress on the new suit blueprints I brought back from the Lava Diamond group. The engineers and scientists were doing some changes to the design on my orders. I wanted it to fly. I wanted it to be capable to operate without a pilot inside it. There were a bunch of other stuff I wanted it to be capable of doing but I didn't want to overwork the engineers. I walked over to the Basilicom's garage and performed a status update on the suit I gave Noire. It needed to be at top efficiency! The update resulted with no glitches or system failures. I went back to Noire's room and saw that she was in her office doing some paperwork. I went over to the balcony and looked out over Lastation. I wondered why everything seemed more peaceful than two weeks ago, most likely the destruction of the Lava Diamond's base of operations. I started walking around the Basilicom, checking in on some construction labs. I went back to my old office that I kept to myself ever since I became a CPU. I looked around my old office and remembered that I kept a secret safe in the dresser. I went over to the dresser and put the safe on my desk. I honestly forget what I put in here, I entered the combination and opened it up. Inside, I found my old taser, my magnum 45, a few old posters, a flashlight, the spear gun Uni gave to me, my old chest armor, my old special forces badge and my uniform hat. I looked through the objects and remembered when I got these items. The gun, taser, uniform, hat, badge, chest armor and the flashlight was given to me when I got the job. I got the posters from my parents when I was a kid, and the spear gun...wait...THE SPEAR GUN!?!?!? I still have this!? 

I haven't actually fired this thing once yet! And Uni gave this to me! How ignorant am I? That's when I thought of something

I haven't actually fired this thing once yet! And Uni gave this to me! How ignorant am I? That's when I thought of something. Where is Uni? I haven't seen her in a long time. I'll ask Noire and see if she knows. I arrived at her door and knocked.

-"Noire, can I come in? I've got a question to ask you." I said.

-"Sure, come in!"

     I entered her room and closed the door behind me.

-"So what was the question?" She asked.

-"Do you know where Uni is?"

-"Oh she's just over th-...wait...no that's not right."

     I heard her talk to herself, trying to guess where Uni was.

-"I don't actually know." She said.

-"I'll try calling her."

-"Sure."

     I typed in her number and held the phone to my ear. 

*BZZZZ*

*BZZZZ*

*BZZZZ*

It went to voicemail and I hung up.

-"She didn't answer." I said.

     Noire started pacing the room, worried. I went to her side and put my hand on her shoulder.
