Characters Present
Jackal
Raiden Mei
Raven
Start
Mei meditated silently in the digitally constructed space.
It was a familiar state of being for practicing kenjutsu and allowed her to attain the highest levels of focus.
After re-acquiring her Herrscher powers, she spent most of her time in the sealed training cabin.
This was the place where she could forget about everything and concentrate on what she needed at the moment.
Machine Voice
Training module activated. Initiating environmental algorithms. Projecting virtual training targets.
The cold artificial voice echoed its protocols. Several mechs materialized and landed heavily on the ground.
Mei opened her eyes slowly, gripped her weapon, and drew it with a deafening hum.
< The screen goes black, then switches to the battlefield, where the Captain will have control of Mei's [Herrscher of Thunder] battlesuit. >
Training system: Algorithms complete. Generating battlefield...
< Defeat the enemies. >
< Enemies defeated. >
Jackal:
You're a hard working girl, Herrscher of Thunder.
Wild electrical sparks danced in the air. The shattered mechs disintegrated into data fragments.
< The screen goes black. >
Mei silently sheathed her blade. The digital environment disappeared and revealed a poorly lit corridor.
Someone hidden in the darkness approached slowly.

Jackal
The Honkai energy within you is stabilizing. I knew it. You can indeed wield those powers.
Mei
I've said I don't want to be disturbed.
Jackal
Don't be so mean. We're friends, and friends are supposed to get along with each other.
Jackal
Hur, hur... I really want to get to know you better...
Raven
Stop wasting time, Jackal.
Jackal was suddenly interrupted. Raven appeared out of nowhere and stood between her and Mei.
Raven
Get on with the business at hand.
Jackal
You just spoiled all the fun.
Jackal
The time has come for you to unleash your powers for the Serpent, Raiden Mei.
Jackal
Imaginary Singularity observations predicted a Honkai event that shall create an apex entity crucial to our plans...
Jackal
Yes, you know it, Raiden Mei. It will give birth to a Herrscher like you...
Mei
......
Jackal
Simply put, a key objective of Project: STIGMA is to acquire every single Herrscher.
Jackal
But our Sire will not personally lead this mission as he is busy elsewhere.
Jackal
This is our chance as our Sire's most steadfast followers to prove our devotion and ensure the success of STIGMA.
Raven
Raiden Mei, your power will be an indispensable weapon for the World Serpent.
Raven
This is why we need to work together and face the impending Honkai eruption.
Mei
I will honor my promise.
Mei
But don't treat me as a friend. We're both using each other for our own ends.
Raven
I'm a mercenary. I don't treat anyone as a friend.
Mei
So our mission is just to kill a Herrscher?
Jackal
No. A dead Herrscher means nothing to us. The Serpent needs "suspended" Herrschers.
Mei
Suspended?
Jackal
I have prepared a small gift for you...
Jackal
Behold, the Scepters of Duat, the WAS of the Underworld.
Jackal revealed a gold and black box measuring several inches long. It looked like the mask of Tutankhamun.
Mei did not know what the box contained. Like its maker, the box made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Raven
Oh, this must be the Imaginary Disrupter mentioned in the briefing.
Jackal
Disrupter? Please, do not sully this majestic device with such common labels.
Jackal
This is a marvel from the Previous Era that even Schicksal couldn't replicate. You can't even fathom its value.
Jackal
Truth be told, I hope you can experience its powers for yourself.
Jackal
Unfortunately, these Scepters are too valuable. Our resources only let us craft 8 of them. Do be prudent with their use.
Mei
How do you use them?
Jackal
Hur hur... you will know.
While the masked lady chuckled, a slight vibration accompanied by electrical noise spread through the corridors.
Mei heard an unfamiliar voice in this electrical data stream.
???
Attention, everyone.
???
A Honkai eruption occurred at the Southeast Asian island city of Coral just a minute ago.
???
Schicksal has deployed their Valkyries.
???
It's time to start our mission.
