[The feed flips on to a new Google-head and....that is one sizable army of digimon behind him]

AH! I'm Kudo Taiki. Sorry I wasn't able to make it in time to help out with the attack, Server was a bit too large to cross in time.. I'll be leaving some of my friends here, though, to help with the repairs.

[There's an audiable groan from some his digimon in the background.]

But right now, there's a more pressing matter. We've been going through Server, since you guys appeared, and well...There's a castle, infested with hostile digimon. We can't leave it alone, because there are villages on that continent.

[The boy flicks his goggles as if he has an idea.]

So I was thinking, with the amount of you here, would five of you mind helping me scope out the place to get a plan of attack?

CITIZENS!!

[Good morning, Vietnam Terminal Tokyo! There's a midget shouting on the D-Terminal.]

First, to whomever is responsible for rescuing this humble Emperor from oblivion, you have my thanks; ready though I was to give my life, I can hardly complain about a pardon. Your service will be rewarded!

Ah, but... [The tiniest hint of hesitation enters her voice; she's not sure she wants to ask the next bit, but... really has to. Positive thoughts, Saber!] ...there was another, whose processes were running in the same application, who was in the very same danger as I. Could it be that she was also saved? [...] Or, if not, perhaps it is not yet too late...

Don't worry, Saber! [The second voice comes from off-camera, perhaps near Saber's feet...] If you're a Chosen Child, then she probably is, too! You keep talking about how special she is...

[Well, that perks her right up! Have some enthusiastic nodding; how could she have been so foolish?]

Indeed, it is as you say, Salamon! Magnificent though I might be, no-one in their right mind could pass over Hakuno; she is a treasure without equal! She must also have been 'Chosen'...

[...and then her face contorts into a peeved sort of frown; something else has just occurred to her.]

...however... age notwithstanding, she is no 'child'. And neither am I! There may be many women of thirty that would take such a label as a compliment, but my looks, my accomplishments, all have been refined by maturation!

Maybe it's because you're the right height for a child? Or even smaller...

S... Salamon-!

[Aww naw... that did it. Her D-Terminal forgotten, Saber kneels down, until her face is inches from that of the precious little puppy that's serving as the peanut gallery. For a long moment, she looks about ready to roar in the little guy's face; obviously, his offense was greater than the average onlooker could know. Maybe he was about to die? That would be awfully cold, though, even for her...

...but, after what seemed like ages, she finally relented, as she turned away, and puffed up her cheeks in a childish show of annoyance. Well, at least it's not murderous rage anymore?]

...t-topics such as my height are forbidden, understand?! [...] And so is making that face, when I am trying to reprimand you; no-one is heartless enough to remain angry before it...

[There's a little hint of a blush on her face, as she storms off... leaving her D-Terminal in the grass, near Salamon.]

But, Saber... this is my normal face....

[And, as obediently as one might expect from a creature that appeared canine, the already-beleaguered partner of the overbearing little person that's been assaulting your airwaves picks up the abandoned device in his mouth, and trots off after his partner, bumping the off button in the process.]

[Click! The video comes on. This is the first time Hakuno is using her D-Terminal to make a video of her own, rather than just reply to someone else's, but she doesn't look nervous at all.]

I've been thinking for a while... is it common for the people here to give their partners nicknames? [Ever since she ran into Cam, it's been sort of... wiggling around at the back of her mind. She'll have to address it sooner or later.] I mean, it makes sense, since there are some people here with the same species of digimon. But how many people here have started calling their partners something different?

[From off-screen comes a slightly exasperated voice.] Hakuno, really, it's okay. You don't have to do this...

[Hakuno laughs a little, but otherwise ignores her partner's words.] It just seems weird, to keep calling someone who's supposed to be my friend by what's more or less just the name of her species.

[If you're looking at the feed, you might see a Dorumon sniffing curiously at the camera. It seems as though he managed to turn it on somehow.]

Huh? Is this thing on? [He turns to talk to someone offscreen.] Hey, Sakura, I think I got this to work! You're supposed to use this to talk to other people, right? Go and say something!

Oh? Very well then, Dorumon. [The camera then turns to a girl, though at first you may mistake her for a man; most girls aren't as muscular as she is, nor do most girls have scars across their face and on their shoulder. For a moment she simply looks out at whoever might be watching--and the look on her face is rather intimidating, intentional or not--before speaking.]

Greetings. My name is Sakura Oogami. It seems that like many others, I have been brought to this place without warning. [Especially since...well...she'd been dead.] Though that has happened to me before, I must admit that a place like this is something of an improvement. [Suddenly, she remembers something.] Also, if there is anyone here who was previously at a school called Hope's Peak Academy before arriving here, I would appreciate it if you contacted me.

[Dorumon butts in.] Yeah, yeah! And none of you better think you can take me and Sakura by surprise. Her and me, we're real tough! We'll take you on any day! [He bares his teeth at the camera.]

You must not flaunt the strength you have in such a way, Dorumon. [Despite how Sakura is admonishing Dorumon for boasting, there's still a small hint of amusement in her tone. It seems she's warming up to her partner already.]
