...So what are you actually be supposed to be doing, anyway?
[Marie said, looking at Kotomi's laptop.]
I'm afraid Unc - Big Boss didn't really explain the details...
[Kotomi smiled at her.]
Oh, um - I'm supposed to be translating something, and then doing something with the translation, except that it's a partial translation of a partial translation, and trying to figure out what it originally said is pretty hard!
But hmmm...Say, Marie-chan, what level of clearence do you have, anyway?
[Marie blinked.]
I have no idea, actually, but - Whatever it is, it should be high enough, I think? Since I'm supposed to be helping you do your "special project", among other things, after all...
[Kotomi nodded, then.]
Alright, then - Follow me!
[And then she grinned again.]
I'm going to show you something...Special.
[15 minutes, later, Marie in someplace that looked like a very big storeroom, looking up at a massive something, halfway covered in a blue sheet.]
- This is Artifact A-17. It doesn't look like much, but it's almost as heavy as one of those not really gundams they're making in the upper labs - It took usdays to figure out how to get it in here in one piece...
[Marie sweatdropped, then.]
...Does everybody here know about those robot things?
[Kotomi laughed, then.]
- Oh, the robot things aren't even really a secret at all, well, not in this Base, at least - Everybody's saying that they're probably be on sale all over the world in about 5 years, anyway!
[And then she grinned again, and then pointed at a slab of something that looked like slab of rock, covered with strange writing and what seemed to be pictures and symbols.]
Oh, and that's Artifact A-23 - It's almost as important as A-17 is, I think...
[And then Kotomi took a deep breath, and touched the slab.]
[Marie started as the slab started to humm, and then glowed a faint pink.]
[Kotomi took her hand away, eventually, and then the thing just looked like a rock slab again.]
Some people can make it glow, some can't. Professor Mizuki can't make it react at all, and he was really bummed out when he realized that...

- Soo - Do you want to try it out?
