Author's Notes:

This new short chapter is here to serve to tell you that I'm not dead yet!
Some things have changed. Due to my one month inactivity there are going to be a few new things Church will have. I've been playing way too much Halo 5 lately. Anyway, that new armor isn't permanent. You'll see why soon enough.

5 weeks after the Zant incident.

Disabling life support on deck 1…

Successful.

Unlocking capsule storage container…

Activating onboard AI “Epsilon”

Systems normal. No abnormalities detected.

“Wake up, Director…”

“Huh?” I sigh as I come to. “ How long was I-”

“1 Month, 3 days, 20 hours.”

“Scheiße.” I try to move an armored palm but it is frozen solid, “Some help please?”

The delirious voice of Songnam is my only answer, “One moment please. You have been out a very long time. I will need to rewrite the functioning protocols for your battle skin.”

I groan, “Oh great. More boring stuff. Just hurry up.”

After I had finally gotten free I noticed my armor looked different… Way too different… It looked like someone had combined the Arbiter's armor into MJOLNIR.

“What is this?”

“I believe it is called Helioskrill.”

“Wait.” I pause, “Where did you get this?” I was baffled, I didn't remember all these new items and weapons being here.

“They started appearing when you went under. I thought you'd like this one since you kept complaining about HAYABUSA being gone.” The impatience in Songnam’s tone was almost overwhelming.

I started wandering around the stasis room. “What's happened since I was out?”

“Well, let's see… Civil war has broken out in some countries. The princesses are searching for you and have been for an entire month now. I think you know why. All in all, things are not going well. Glad to have you back director.”

“Thanks.” I said with a roll of my virtual eyes.

“Oh, and before you go out there and get in more trouble, someone needs you.”
