4. Abjection. [Backdate to the 15th, locked from hostiles]

[accidntlgoddess]

Yesterday afternoon, a Tamer here, Noir, was attacked in Tetha by various...hostiles. He was knocked off Tetha by a blue-skinned creature I've never seen before. I've been told it's called ADR-01.

I...ask DATS's help in searching for him. His D-Comm isn't bringing up any response.

[Sounds like she's very tired, hasn't slept all night]

Honey...

[accidntlgoddess]

Don't. Please, don't get me emotional. Now I just have to look for him.

[badluckbabe]

...I've tried calling his D-comm honey. You know that thing it says? User not found?

[accidntlgoddess]

Stop it. We're going to find him. I don't care what his D-Comm says, we're going to find him.

[spirit_kanji]

I'm not with DATS, but he is my boss. I will assist in searching for him.

[accidntlgoddess]

Thank you.

[spirit_kanji]

It's the least I can do...

[accidntlgoddess]

He'll appreciate it when we find him.

[xtrnlmonologue]

We will see what we can do, ma'am.

The involvement of ADR-01 is concerning.

[accidntlgoddess]

Thank you. Others were there as well, but...at the moment I can only remember LOT.

[lotsacute]

Did Uncle Noir get hurt?

[accidntlgoddess]

...Yeah. He got hurt. But we'll find him.

[lotsacute]

And then Yu will be happy again?

[arc_saver]

Of course. I'll personally visit the crime scene myself.

Can you give us a more detailed description of events, however?

[accidntlgoddess]

Um, I. He-

Let me take it from here, Gaia. Don't worry. I'm her partner. Noir's D-Comm broadcasted a distress signal and we went running. Gaia and I tried to fend off this being called LOT, while some of the others - Yu, Shade, and Terra, I saw - dealt with other hostiles in the area. I didn't get a good look at them. Anyway, during the fight we lost track of Noir and found him after he'd knocked this ADR-01 creature off Tetha. That...thing came back when we weren't prepared and tackled him off. I think it...stabbed him too.

[Little sniff from the back, sounds like Gaia.]

...I tried to get to them, but they were falling too fast. I couldn't find either when I reached the ground. They went through a string of trees.

[arc_saver]

I see. Can you tell me who else might have been involved in the incident other than ADR-01...?

[accidntlgoddess]

We didn't get much of a look at the others... But I remember there was an odd girl there with - I think they're called Black Plotmon. And a very fat...man with a long tongue.
