Apparently Utopia was one of the Blessers. Suzume remembered well that DragonierMan had trouble with MarriageMan in an earlier altercation. Blessers had strange, reality-altering powers. It was not just a simple task of defeating them in a straight up fight. Although, paradoxically, Utopia seemed to be giving Mullonde just that: an opening to defeat her in a straight up fight. Simultaneously, Utopia was also giving Mullonde the choice to mold reality for her benefit. To give Mullonde the ability to act out any fantasy she wanted, seemingly for no cost. Suzume wondered if there was a catch that was left unsaid, or if the Blessers were just as crazy as the rumors implied.
DragonierMan's and Aya's jack-in attempt was blocked, forcing them to stay in their PET. They looked at the white void where everyone disappeared from their big screen vid window. They called out for Mullonde, but couldn't reach her. Aya tried to send more signals on Yasu's, Escort's, and Arch's comm links, asking for their status and location. If she managed to get through to any of them, and they could relay their position, the two dragoniers would divert to that location as best they could. If not, they would continue to watch the strange anomaly.
Mullonde listened to Utopia as she explained what occurred. She was interfering with Neo-Shogunate recruitment missions in cases where she thought the people applying wouldn't be able to successfully complete the mission assigned. Mullonde's eyes zoomed and panned-out, her ears twitching, as they continued to record, even if the stream was not reaching her PET. Utopia seemed to know that Mullonde was already a member of the NS, so Suzume deactivated her .GMO and returned to her base armored form. She got off of Utopia and deactivated her

Accuracy: B / B then B
Description: Creates an impressive bear claw. Can be used to slash or throw enemies or objects.
Duration: Until Overridden/Broken. Breaks automatically after 6 uses.
Element: Null
Special: Throw: The wielder must first grab the target to be thrown, then the target is thrown in the direction/area indicated. A second check is made if against another object/enemy. Throw deals damage to both thrown object/enemy and the second object/enemy. Damage occurs at point of collision with the ground/wall/ceiling/etc. or an object/enemy, not during initial grab attempt. Objects deal their max HP in damage (instead of the chip's damage) if they hit an object/enemy, then break. If they miss, the object just takes the chip's damage. This chip has a variety of uses.
Trader Rank: C battlechip. "I am not going to destroy you now. You were just doing what you thought was right. But I am actually already on a mission, so I'll need to ask you a bunch of questions if you wouldn't mind."
Suzume did feel like she was cut off from her PET, which concerned her. But it didn't seem like she was in any immediate danger, so she would use her professionalism to see her through. "First thing's first. I am looking for those people you 'put into your program', as you put it: Messenger, Plastique, Wasteland, Puppet-Show, and now Escort. They had gone missing so I was brought in to find them. I would like you to give them to me, intact and unharmed, in their entirety, no simulations. Now Puppet-Show was an independent, but a part of your simulations and considered one of the missing, so I'll need to ask her some questions as well."
Suzume continued. "My next question is why? Why go through all the trouble to make these simulations and grant wishes? And for a more specific question, how do you determine who has 'a near zero percent chance that the navi could join and become a functioning member of the Neo-Shogunate'? As you said, I am a member of the NS. And these people seem to be just like all the others who have joined and became functioning members within the faction."
Suzume took a moment to let Utopia talk as she thought up more questions. "And this all begs the question: why are you targeting the recruitment and officers of the Neo-Shogun Empire? Why not the NetMafia, or NetPolice, or even the GNA itself? Or have you already done that before?" Suzume scanned Utopia's face for clues as to her thought process. "Now, your work with Puppet-Show was pretty amazing. We could use people of your skill within the NS. Perhaps you would see fit to join us. What do you say?" Suzume asked, either granting Suzume's own wishes, or giving Utopia the chance to perhaps follow Utopia's own wishes.
