[Anyone around The Bay would likely notice something happening. A light seemed to be shining from within, and after a few moments that light would explode into a dazzling rainbow of color washing over the surroundings, making it dull by contrast. At the center of this light was a woman. Tall, slender, and wearing a fashionable if revealing dress and hair that encompassed just as many colors as the light surrounding her. She stood at the entrance of The Bay, looking around with mild disdain before finally beginning to walk, wandering the streets as she gathered her bearings, the light seemingly following her everywhere.]

[It had been a couple hours and Ragyo was shown seated at an outdoor cafe, a coffee next to her as the pamphlet she'd woken up with and the odd currency laid out in front of her as if she were analyzing everything that came with her. As the video started, she was putting down the pendant she had received with a soft sigh.]

La vie est drole... I would commend the audacity of anyone brazen enough to attempt to kidnap me, and the skill to follow through with it. However, cowardice is unappealing. Shoving me into that pod thing was simply uncalled for. As for the hologram claiming this is some other world? You'll forgive me if I maintain some doubts.

I suppose I should introduce myself anyway, should any of that information prove true. My name is Ragyo Kiryuin. I am CEO of the Revocs corporation, and a very powerful woman. It would be in the best interest of my kidnappers to release me and return me to Japan. I have very important work yet to do.

Leave it to an educated business owner to know not to lose their head.

We really need more people here who can think with their brain instead of their feelings. You should have seen the state of the network a few days ago.

There has always been a divide though. Those of rational thought, and those of emotion. Emotion has its place, but ultimately reduces most to simple livestock to be herded by those who can use reason to the benefit of the masses.

[Why yes, that may be a hint of affection she has when referring to the masses as pigs, albeit in a veiled sense.]

Well most people are little better than panicky herd animals, it's not hard to start a stampede.

A rational, reasonable brain among them to direct them is nothing short of entirely necessary.

Exactly, and I like to think of myself as a sort of shepherd, guiding the masses with a gentle hand.

[And a dog to muscle anyone who would step out of line back into the herd.]

Goodness, we do need more people like you here. Maybe it would tone down the random fits of meglomaniacal morons screaming over the communication frequencies that they're going to blow up the civics center because it's a Tuesday.

This place is in dire need of some order.

I do detest that type. They are like storm clouds on a windy day. All noise and fury, but ultimately signify nothing.

Though I do suppose I could outfit the local law enforcement to better deal with those types if they really are a problem.

[She leans back in her chair with an amused hum. She's plotting already.]

What a delight that would be. Some peace and order here.

I'm sure even those who'd complain the loudest would come to their senses about it eventually.

After seeing the alternatives I offer, I can't imagine they wouldn't. After all, order is simply the natural state of things. Once they experience it, they will naturally accept it.

Of course, of course.

I'm sure once everyone gets a taste of what order and sanity is like, they'll be much more compliant.

If you need any help while you're here, madam, I'd be more than willing to offer it. I thought it would be the neighborly thing to do.

Oh, I will be sure to take you up on that offer. However, I didn't catch your name. What should I call you?

It's a long and ethnic sounding name.

It's far easier to call me Szel, everyone else does after all.

Very well. Szel it is. As for the 'ethnic sound' I wouldn't worry about that. I'm rather proud of just how inclusive my company is in terms of ethnic and gender diversity.

[After all, doesn't matter who or what you are. Life Fibers are indiscriminate in who they eat.]
