"Well, that's weird..." Caps replied, suddenly turning to Fade. "W-What? Inefficient? Wasteful? Maybe the attacker was trying to send a message, did you ever think of that?" He huffed. He thought it had been blatantly obvious...

"I'm a corpse, yeah. And I have no idea where my leg is. I hope it hasn't gotten too mangled or something, it's a nightmare to heal later. And if it's bunt I'm in trouble..."

She trailed off there. Having a burnt up leg would cause no end of trouble. As her mind went over that, she tightened her grip again and her trenchcoat seemed to go a few shades of grey darker.

"And yeah, I've seen much better days. Nrmally, my trenchcoat isn't this trashed..." She added thoughtfully.

Tokugawa strode up to Caps, "Thats what terrorists do, and I've seen one. Destroying two skyscrapers with one vehicle, that triggered hundreds of deaths, and eventually, a huge war. But no matter where, a detonated bomb certainly is not good. Now more importantly, where in hell is the bomber and where in hell did his mind, and sanity; go?" He unsheathed his razor-sharp katana, in an attack stance. "And where in hell did he get the bomb, or more importantly, HOW?" He muttered.

"Not exactly...but for some reason I keep thinking that it was something to do with the sky." Coolpikaaa said in response to the robot's question.

He started walking away slightly.

"We should go. Standing around won't get us anywhere."

501 nods, and after a great deal of fumbling, manages to somehow fit the sword in a spare weapon holster on the other side of his body. "Sky, ground, city, trees, whatever, I agree." He marches off determinedly for a few feet.

Then he stops and turns around. "Actually, based on my recent luck, it's probably this way instead." He marches over briskly to a perceived gathering. Cloud, Fade, Caps and Danikat - he didn't recognise or know any of them, but one out of the small group of mostly conspicous people might have had some ideas as to where the sword originated from.

He marches onwards, assuming CP can keep up with a robot with untiring motors and artificial muscles.

"Indeed" Fade said, raising an eyebrow at the newcomer and agreeing with the cat-bat woman. The mutant then turned her attention back to Cloud, lowering her own voice "That was wise of you. If others found out they may try to blame the Council"

Coolpikaaa went down on all fours and tried hard to keep up with the robot. Though the occasional bit of debris tripped him up,he managed to make it through quite fine.

He noticed the group ahead, and called out to them, hopefully they had some idea what was going on.

"Any of you guys lose a sword?"

Cloud gave a swift nod then turned his attention towards this newcomer who seemed to be itching for a fight.

"I wouldn't draw a sword and immediately take a threatening position, it could get you in a lot of trouble," Cloud said to Tokugawa, "Just a friendly piece of advice."

Then he addressed the group, "It seems like we're creating quite a large crowd. Shouldn't we set to work on some investigating?" Cloud then thought longingly of his investigating cap...now where did he leave that particular item of clothing again?

Tokugawa released his grip on the sheathed blade. "Ever since I held off a small force of ninjas alone, my battle skills have been honed greatly. Maybe the wine I had the night before got into my blood and raged greatly. Or my imagination and vision went crazy."

"Well then, ready when you are." Tokugawa threw his hair to the side of his head, wiped the sweat off his red headband cloth, and tapped his feet in waiting.

501 arrives at the gathering promptly with the assumption that either CP is right behind him or was left behind a good distance away.

He flings his arms open and raises his hands, addressing Cloud, Fade, Tokugawa II, Caps and Danikat from a suitably high piece of rubble.

"Attention! Attention natives! Could the owner of a short blade about yea big and this shiny-"

He draws Cloud's short sword and holds it aloft, pointing it to the sky.

"-please come forward and collect it? Or do any of you know who owns it?"

Truth be told, he's expecting at least one member of the group to just claim the sword as theirs. And if more than one did, he'd just throw the sword to the ground and let them fight for it. Pfft, like knowing who threw this sword will actually help me find someone in charge. Although on the offchance it does...

He holds it in both hands and raises it further aloft above his head.

"You, sir!" He deftly points the sword at Tokugawa. "You look like a man who appreciates a fine sword. Recognise anything of this? Where it was made? Where it came from?"

After a calculated pause of 0.2 seconds, he then swings and points the sword at Danikat. "Also, you, does the word areeni mean anything to you?" I never can tell with them.

"Eh? No I have a blade already." Tokugawa indicated towards his katana, hanging at his waist. "No I have no idea where, what, or how the blade came into existence, sir."

Obed, (the bi-ped, winged lion sphynx,) checked the images of the suspects in his communication device one more time, and approached the group.
He still had SFOT riding in his carrying harness, as he said to them,
"Good day all !"
he looked at Cloud and said:
"Do we know each other?"
they of course did, as they had worked together briefly, in Corp Dev 2, but not knowing the social situation, he would follow Cloud's lead before stating that out loud.

The noticing Danikat, He straightened up and said:
"Well, my good lady, we may have met, I can't remember for sure, but I do know some of your little friends. I actually did NOT eat one of those armored rats Wink

one time when I caught him up to something. And then, after that, I found our conversation most informative. I'm sorry I can't remember his name, but I'm pretty sure he worked for you. A fine employee, ma'am."

now addressing the whole group again he says
"Excuse my manners, I should have introduced us first, I am Obed, Protector of the Holy Arc, Master of the Scared Plagues, and proud owner of Obed's Sandwich Shoppe, just two blocks down that road, and on the left. If you come on a Tuesday for lunch, you can get a free esspresso drink with the purchase of a regular sized hot toasted sub sandwich.
and this..."
pointing at Sfot,
"is Sfot, and yes, she is actually dead,.. for now ... sort of, but thats another story,... if any of you see her leg would you let her know? I'm sort of her mode of transportation untill we find that, or one close to size."

Cloud looked at 501 for a second, then held his hand aloft. The sword sprung to life, trying to free itself from 501's grip. He then was addressed by Obed.

"We may know each other but my memory is not what it used to be. Actually, it is what it used to be but back then it was never any good."
