[Who has two metal thumbs and looks really confused? This guy. Have yet another of those giant robots that keep showing up.

This one looks distinctly like a very traditional Japanese police officer, though. He veen has a little crest on his chest that looks like the lapels of a jacket. He speaks very cautiously and is extremely formal.]

Excuse me... if anyone is here, would you mind telling me what is going on? I was resting one moment, and I just woke up here.

If this is some kind of criminal scheme, I'll let you know right now, you won't be getting away with it.

If it isn't... a little assistance and an explanation would be wonderful.

Also, if anyone has seen a child around? He's small, about nine years old, his name is Tomonaga Yuuta. He was with me before I woke here. If you've seen him, please tell me.

[He seems visibly anxious about that last part.]

Deckerd. I haven't seen Boss around here, and it looks like there's only one other person from Nanamagari.

It's... sort of difficult to explain.

Gunmax!

What are you doing here? How did you- I- we end up in this place?

And... well. Try me.

[Because right now he's ready to believe anything.]

Me? I ended up here awhile ago. Just a few days. It's been... interesting.

Based on the information I've gathered, no one seems to really know how we end up here other than "just because." I was warned that this place seems to eat memories.

Some people have been stuck here for almost a year. I'm still working on getting familiar with the layout and seeing what we can do to get out, or at least meet the lady in charge.

But I just saw you yesterday.

Ah- great. Memories. You mean it will be erasing our Super A.I.?

Lady in charge?

That's impossible, because I was here.

Something like that. The way it was describe to me, a word at a time goes away during particular "events". The "events" are triggered by a specific person and this place reacts accordingly. I'm not really sure what that means yet, but I suppose if we're here for long, we'll find out.

Yep. The Queen. She sounds like the nasty sort, to boot.

I just was on patrol with you last night.

That sounds bad. I don't want to forget anything. Not after all we've been through.

She's behind all this, then. I hope she knows reason.

And I'm telling you that I was here, Deckerd. Believe me, I'd rather be on patrol with you.

I know. I feel the same way. A word doesn't seem like much, but after someone's been here for a year...

Not sure. People have said otherwise.

Hm. It's like we're in another dimension. You still exist back home. Maybe I do, too?

A year... you'd be missing so much. We can't let this happen.

We're just going to have to treat this like another case and figure it out. I have to get back. We all do.

I don't know how it works. I've been trying to figure it out, but a lot of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I don't plan on letting it. We kind of have a lot of stuff to do back home. You know, picking on Drill Boy, listening to Duke's philosophy rants -- that sort of thing.

...I know. We'll work on it. In the meantime, Yuuta's okay with the others.

[His anxiety is apparent in the long pause he takes.]

Where can I find you?

I'm outside. Where are you?

A hallway somewhere. I woke up in a room that was my own size but it looked like it was made for humans...

I'll find some stairs, as far as I can tell I'm a few floors up.

I'll go park Gunbike and try to find you. Be inside in a few.

Sounds good.

I think I found the stairs, so meet me at the bottom?

Good plan, partner. See you in a bit.

[And there he will be, waiting at the bottom of the stairs, the anxiety he shows is less for fear of what may happen to him, but for missing his best friend.]

[It's odd, how the mansion accommodates to their size. But Gunmax has no problem running inside.

It's nice to see a familiar face.

He lifts a hand.]

Hey, Deckerd.

Gunmax.

[He won't say what a relief it is to see him in person.]

When's the last time you fueled up?

Last night before Yuuta went to bed.

Hmm. Running low?

Ah. Perhaps a little.

Well, fortunately, I have you covered.

[Gently, he tosses a container at the other detective.]

...Gonna be okay?

[He catches it and nods thankfully.]

I will be. Stranger things have happened, I'm sure we'll get out of it.

Glad you feel that way! Honestly, I'm a little glad there's a friendly face around here.

done
