It was starting to get late in Gingdale as Vice President Rengo was in the president's office, looking over paperwork. His eyes darted to the phone and back to the paperwork, debating if calling the Helix Division would be a good idea. He eventually heard a knock at the door and looked over to see a secretary standing there.

"Um, Mr. Danve," said the secretary. "Where's..."

"President Eldersmith is out in a meeting with the Helix Divison. He asked me to get some papers together. I don't know what time he'll be back," said Rengo.

"O-Okay, I just wanted to let the President know that we have another mutated here that was interested in joining the Helix Division," said the secretary.

"O-Oh, please, let them in. I'll be glad to talk to them," said Rengo as he sat down in the chair. The secretary nodded as she ushered in someone. A female anthropomorphic gazelle walking into the room and sat down at a chair across from Rengo. The gazelle's face seemed like a piece of artwork with a pair of thin rimmed glasses. She was wearing a white tee-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, a black satchel bag on her shoulder, and a pair of white sneakers.

"So, you're the other mutated right?" Asked Rengo.

"Yes, Zeldina Banchu, Mister Vice President," said the gazelle. "I heard about the group from King and Lighting. They helped me get here a while ago."

"Ah, so you've met some... So, um, exactly what power do you have?" Asked Rengo.

"This," said Zeldina as she held out her right paw. A white orb of energy appeared in her paw as she threw it upwards. The orb stuck to the ceiling of the room as Zeldina leaned back. "Is that all?" Asked Rengo with a raised eyebrow.

"Hold on," said Zeldina. An image suddenly appeared in the corner of Rengo's vision but no matter how many times he tried to look at it, it always stayed there in the corner.

"Try to focus on it, it'll center itself," said Zeldina as she leaned back in the chair. Rengo focused on it, making the image come to the center of his vision and blocking out Zeldina and the room. The image was of the room from above, coming from the sphere that she had created and tossed.

"Wow..." said Rengo.

"Yes, I can control who sees them or not," said Zeldina as she made the orb and image disappear. "I'm sure you heard that I was interested in joining these Helix Division members. Of course, I'd like to know more about them first before fully committing to anything."

"Right, unfortunately all of them are out right now on a classified mission and I don't know their time of return," said Rengo.

"So, they're out rescuing the president? I guess I can wait."

"The president isn't missing. He's..."

"Just out for a walk or meeting or something? The meeting would be fine in his office or something and a walk wouldn't last long enough for you to take over anything in his office. Let's be honest, the details spell out the lie."

"...Fine, yes. We're trying not to let the people know because it might cause a mass panic... I've been meaning to call them anyways so I'll mention you to them as well."

"Very well then, I'll be here if they have to interview me." Rengo quickly called Valor, not leaving Zeldina alone in the room.

"Hello?" Asked Valor into the phone.

"Valor, it's the VP," said Rengo. "What's your status? I haven't heard anything."

"Sorry, we've been busy playing peacemakers and politics. Silence's idea. We've located Incubus and have him in a hospital under a fake name. He's in some kind of coma which we believe can be broken by killing the Puppeteer. We're in the process of doing so at the moment," said Valor.
