On arrival into Nhode, I've come face to face with people from other dimensions. And the rest of the IPF is reporting people missing from the Colony.

This is frustrating... it won't be too long before the Bureau puts out bounties... I can't let that happen...Any Japanese people who have found themselves outside of the Colony, please do not panic.

I'm Japanese.... but I have no idea what you mean by 'Colony.'

[holyknightky]

You... are, are you? You don't look quite like the Colonists...

But perhaps, you could help identify some?

[a_newlife]

Identify more Japanese people? Uuuhhhh.... there's me. And there's Papillon, and Tokiko.

That good?

[holyknightky]

Papillon is a Japanese person's name? Could it be him...? But he wouldn't know other languages, would he...

A-Ah. Yes. Though... the ones in particular that I am looking for are in the announcement above. If you see them, please let me know?

[demonofdesert]

Heh, interesting...I'll be sure to let ya know if I see either one of these guys! Though, what kind of currency is World Dollars?

[holyknightky]

It is the currency of our world. We can have it converted to other dimensional currencies, if necessary.

[cicada_boy]

Um...why exactly is your organization after the pink-haired woman? Just asking..

1/2

[holyknightky]

Organization?

[holyknightky]

It's nothing like that. We are merely protecting the Japanese race from possible eradication. We're here to help them.

[cicada_boy]

Japanese? I'm Japanese... I'm confused. Are the Japanese special in your world, I guess?

[red_under_glass]

Important to the Colony, hm? In what way, Commander?

[holyknightky]

They are Japanese people, Colonel. Users of pure ki. After the destruction of Japan, they have been made to remain in the Colony, and there are those who would wish to eradicate them for good. These two have managed to breach the barriers thanks to this new nexus, and for their own safety, they need to be found before they are harmed.

[red_under_glass]

I see. The terminology is unfamiliar to me, but your meaning is fairly clear. I believe I've seen the woman "Baiken" comment and make posts, but I've never spoken with her, nor am I aware of her current location. I apologize for not being more helpful.

What is "ki," incidentally?

[holyknightky]

I apologise, Colonel. I will be more than happy to explain if you want. Ki is life energy, a core element in magic. Japanese people are able to use it to perfection, if honed, and this makes them a threat to the same enemies who were responsible for their eradication years ago.

I did however, get some books on the subjects you wished, and they contain details on ki as well, if you would like that instead.

[sharkfangs]

I get money if I have a vague idea of where a couple of weirdos are...? Sweet!
