Chapter 6
And so the day went on for Milady. Of course, we can be productive outside of conspicuous metal buildings, indeed? Let’s have some fun.
On a particular summer Sunday, the Valentine sisters were metaphorically and literally flopping around their house, as they hadn’t been called to Infinitum and they had literally nothing else to do. So they called someone themselves.
“Hey, it’s Luka. Milady, ya free? Yeah, we’re going to Gurnburg. The one on E and a half. Yep. Yep. Heavens no, I’m not a delinquent. Oh, and is your cousin still there? Aight. Bye.” Luka hung up and announced that they were going to the local burger place. There they met Milady Cherry, Luka’s “Bestest Friend in All Existence and Every Alternative Timeline.”
Milady decided to break the ice as they waited for drinks. “My time with my aunt’s goin’ well,” she said. “She’s nice, sometimes she acts weird but she’s fun. And my internship is pretty good too. Ms. Moir is, like, the sweetest person I’ve ever met.” Nami managed to disassociate to the point where she was practically invisible, that is until the waiter came back to the table with two lemonades. In her disassociation, she started pondering the philosophical implications of Cantaloupe’s existence-did he live merely to work at Caelum, or was there anything more to his existence? Nevermind, she thought, existentialism was never her thing. But then she started wondering what exactly made Milady’s hair that vibrant color, almost glowing. Almost as if on cue, Nami got a call from Dolores, and the girls parted ways.
At Caelum, they did the usual-training for piloting mechs, getting lectured, stealing bagels from the cafe out front-and they romped about as if it were a normal evening. They even got a live lecture from Jeanne-whose last name is apparently Smith-on the psychology of dragons and some other species that seemed boring. But as soon as one fateful event occurred, everything changed.
“Nami and Luka Valentine, Lady Moir needs to see you. I repeat...”

Chapter 7
I’m sorry I haven’t told you yet, but Ms. Moir...has a sister named Rachel Moir, who is a high-ranking dragon hunter. She wants the girls for a project of some sort involving her own pupils. In other words, she’s Dolores’ equal. Let’s get back to the story, shall we?
“So this is who Ms. Moir is,” Nami thought out loud. “I thought she’d look more mysterious, but she’s wearing a purple business suit.”
Rachel was wearing a purple business suit. Her strawberry blonde hair contrasted jarringly with the suit, and Luka was going to criticize the other Ms. Moir’s fashion sense until she figured that if she did she’d be buried in the dumpster out back if she did. Then Rachel started talking with the girls, and that’s when it got really heated.
“So, dollies, how would you like to join my team of pseudo-dragon hunters on a mission? Your first few runs were...alright, I guess. I’d give it a B plus,” Rachel began. “I heard a lot about you from Dolores, and it seems you’re competent enough.” Nami watched Luka’s expression change from an energetic grin to a drained frown. “My squadron’s short on members-I have one person, and you have two people and a sphere. So do ya wanna?” Rachel finished.
It took Nami a bit to comprehend what Rachel had said, but once she did she figured it couldn’t hurt. “Sure, Ms. Moir,” she replied, “it wouldn’t hurt to have some more teamwork out here.” With that, they signed a contract and got out of there, with Nami’s phone set for June 5th. A couple hours later, Rachel Moir was in her own home, on the phone with her sister, reading some books on biology.
“Yeah, Satise. I didn’t forget about your little student. I haven’t met her, but from what I’ve heard she’s pretty cool.” She flipped to a page on Novis sapiens, a humanoid with 40% dragon DNA. “Is she one of those...?” Rachel got bored and grabbed a paper on Felis sapiens, another humanoid with cat ears instead of normal ones. All of a sudden she fell out of her chair.
“W-w-w-what?!? You’re s-s-serious, right?! I’m so happy! We’ve found another one!” She began laughing hysterically.
She almost tipped over her pot of witch rosemallow.

. Chapter 7.5
Satise Moir was truly no good. Neither was her sister Rachel. It was just hard to notice untold they’re ten seconds away from stabbing you in the back.
At one edge of the universe was the fabled Novis sapiens, with the toughest constitution of any animal. Eventually, two sisters on that planet got bored of the peace and went around burning everything they could find-their town, their planet and eventually everything in space they could find.
At one point, the space warlords got to Perfani, a utopia of people with cat ears. When they had done the usual pillaging and seizing and burning with the Felis sapiens, they felt something. That was when they realized there was a Perfanian shuttle being sent to Earth, containing 6 teenagers.
The race was on.
But the truth was that there was a similar program launched long ago, on the planet the Moir sisters first inhabited, back when they were just itty-bitty space warmongers. All these species had at least two remaining specimens on Earth.
