She had run all the way here.

"Zidane!" AndrAIa yelled.  The foyer was empty; her voice echoed, as did the slam of the door behind her.  "Zidane!  Are you here?"

His last post said he

What was going on? What happened to Rosette? There was no way Chrono had fallen that far behind. Or had he just kept his eyes closed a little longer than he thought? Instead of helping him, that journal thing and the inhabitants speaking through it were only seeming to make him more worried and anxious. Just what the hell happened

AndrAIa sensed rather than saw or heard the person behind her. And through the doors to the building, he looked remarkably similar to the journal's picture of him. Great timing, she thought. She beckoned him inside with her left hand, hoping that Zidane had heard her calls. It would be so much freaking easier if they had VidWindows! This whole ordeal was making her very, very homesick

Terra had no idea since joining the Clan, that someone would need help so quickly. At the same time, what better opportunity to make herself useful? She'd been near the area that the Clan was located in when she saw the note on the message board, so Terra had quickly darted in that direction.

By the time she reached the Headquarters, she was mildly winded - it was far easier (and more fun) to simply fly from place to place, but she decided not to try that just yet. How many citizens looked up anymore anyway? As she stepped through the door, she heard the voices of two others - and a third, coming from a recording of some sort.

Rather than lurk in the doorway like a rude guest, she cleared her throat softly. "Hello? You must be.. AndrAIa, right?" She cast an inquisitive glance over her surroundings, "I'm Terra," she added for the benefit of the pair, ".. I'm new here - to the city and the Clan. I thought I'd come and help if I could, when I saw your message."

Makoto was glad to find out that the headquarters that had been mentioned on the message board wasn't too far away from there she had been staying. She had been in the Actua Are close by, and had ran over when she had seen AndrAIa's post on the message board.

When she entered the headquarters, she heard voices talking inside already. She didn't want to seem rude, so she knocked on the entryway before walking fully inside.

"Excuse me...I saw a post about meeting here...to help."

His thought of her being a threat diminished after the woman introduced herself. But his worry was still there. What she had said bothered Chrono. Hiding? Since when did Rosette purposefully hide? It all just seemed off.

The voice post he had heard made Chrono feel nearly helpless. Dammit, why hadn't he been there? And who was she-- Aion? Was Aion the one that caused this? Chrono's worries were only increasing and it didn't feel like he was getting anywhere by staying here. He couldn't just stand around and wait. He had to find her. This day was just becoming worse and worse.

"I have to find her." He said, more to himself than anything. "Please, tell me if you find out anything." He waited for a response of some sort, anything would do. With that he ran back outside. He'd search this whole place if he had to. How else could he find her? Dammit, why did she even do this in the first place? And why wasn't he there?

AndrAIa's mouth fell open. He was leaving? "Where're you going to look?" That was exactly the reason she had come here first -- but he was looking at her with such earnest that her heart went out to him. "Okay," she relented with a sigh. "I'll tell you. But what you're doing is basic..."

And then he was gone.

AndrAIa lifted her eyes to the ladies who had just entered, giving them a worried smile. "Come in. Terra? I'm AndrAIa." That left just one more introduction....

With a sweep of her hand, she said, "Well, I think we should begin -- and, hopefully, others will show up to help us run a search program in a few nanos... Either of you know this sector?"

It also looked like Zidane wasn't going to come out -- if he was even here at all. But if he saw her message on the boards, he'd come to help if he could.
