[ Her attention didn't waver even as he warned her and admitted his background as a mage hunter. Instead of feeling any alarm, Ayame finds herself more curious about his skills and background, and finds herself relating to him more. Whether that's a good thing, she doesn't know. Whether it's bad because she's similar to him, or he's similar to her... that's an even harder question. Ayame doesn't want anyone to have a life like her's did. ]
Origin?
[ She utters in a question, but understood it's purpose as a potentially useful weapon against those with magic, something Nova City could use now that her colleague from home Troy is not around ]
We can use regular ammunition for now. Special rounds like these are not something you have a lot of, correct? And we don't have any magical creature to test it on at the moment, in any case.
[ Ayame gestures toward a few feet. A square on the matte grey floor lights up to indicate a starting point for the simulation. Ayame steps away as Kiritsugu steps on the illuminated platform ]
Very well, let's begin.
[ Ayame spoke as the entire room darkens. The echoes of their footsteps and Ayame's voice fades into dead silence. Moments passed and the first thing that changes is the temperature. Gradually growing cooler, colors begin to form around him until a realistic picture of the environment comes to life. Kiritsugu will find himself in an empty Nova City street, with the usual features of war showing in the form of damaged buildings the ghostly emptiness of the surrounding area. Only the sound of rain, random cracking flames from the destroyed vehicles littered over the dust-filled streets. Th sound of gunfire in the distance joins the silent symphony as Kiritsugu stands alone with nothing but his weapon. Then a simulated comm call disrupts the ambiance, with Ayame's voice coming from the other side ]
Kiritsugu. Your mission is to locate and link-up with local militia. I'm sending you their coordinates to your HUD, but be warned there are patrol parties that circle the blocks nearby. You'll have to sneak passed them to get to your location but you have to hurry and get there within a certain time frame... Good luck
[ First test is stealth. An augmented reality panel appears beside him giving him the time-limit, location, and distance of his target; and acts as Kiritsugu's heads-up display that he can switch on and off mimicking the standard-issue equipment Guardians of Nova use. Soon as Ayame's voice drops from the call, flashlight beams from a big patrol party started searching the street he's in, leaving Kiritsugu with three options: the open manhole to go under which is the safest but also would take longest to get to his destination, the side-alley with medium-level or risk, or a high risk one where he goes forward through the shops on the street where he'll be within feet from the oncoming party hiding behind thin cover. But it's the fastest route to his location and time is running low ]
