My name is Michael Naegis. I'm nineteen years old and I work as fourth grade auditor for Galactic Union (GU). My current mission is that, I have infiltrated among the smugglers and I marked their cargo. GU was very satisfied with my work. GU had me in their files marked as smuggler; it was the best for my cover. Files that contained my work, were top secret and I was called there as Shadow. But one day it tuned wrong.
12/5/2467 ---I'm on deck of big smuggler ship, and I don't expect any raid. But suddenly two girls working for GU appeared. They were Special ops.- Assault Shadow Unit(SU). Because I didn't want to blow up my cover, I didn't use my powers. I did use neither Power, neither Particle nor Puppet. So I fell to their captivity. They arrested me as leader and rest they had arrested by local police. They tried to interrogate me, but I didn't tell them a single word. I was silent like a grave. Their names were Éclair d'Rose and Lumiere Granger. They interrogated me from behind of half-transparent glass. But Lumiere had very peasant voice. I wanted to see her, but at first I needed to get of cell. In this moment it was an advantage to be an auditor, because we were allowed to have three fully developed skills contrary of the SU member, who had allowed only one, eventually two. At first I used Puppet, (ability that allows mind unite with electronics and to control it) to disable security system and to neutralise my handcuffs. After that I used Particle, (ability which allows to manipulate with electron bonds and to partially control particles) to corrode the handcuffs. And at the end I used Power, (ability to fire energy discharge and to be stronger and faster) to get through the door. The door flew away and I went out of the cell. An in that moment I saw young SU member Lumiere. We were looking one onto another for a while and then Éclair came and started shooting at me. I jammed her weapon and with that I gained a extra moment. I ran into the Escape pod and I fired off myself to the planet below us. Its name was Etina. It was Headquarters of GU. As soon as I landed, I ran to my supervisor to give him report. He was thinking for a moment and then he gave me a new mission. The mission was: to observe Éclair d'Rose and Lumiere Granger. It couldn't be better.
24/7/2467 --- I've been observing Éclair and Lumiere for two months. Today they took the day off and with that the work should end for me for a while. I decided to get to know Lumiere. So I observed her a little longer. In the morning she went into one of better restaurants, so I went after her. I came to her and I asked: <"Can I take a seat beside, young lady?"> <"Of course you can, sir.">, she answered, I took my coat off and I sat down opposite of her. <"You? What are you doing here?">, she said wonder-struck, she took out the gun and aimed it at me. <"Yes it's me, but nothing is as it seems.">, I started to explain. <"Really, explain it to me, I'm curious about it. We can thou, if you want">, she said. <"Of course we can. So I'll begin. My name is Michael Naegis and I work as auditor for GU. I had a mission among the smugglers for some time. But now I have better one. By the way how are you doing lately?">, I answered and asked. <"Thanks for asking. I'm quite fine. It's interesting, what you say. It means that, we arrested a GU auditor.">, she said and smiled. We had a breakfast together and we talked about almost everything. When we finished the meal, she pulled out the credit card and showed the waiter, that she wants to pay. <"No, Lumiere. It would be impolite from me. It's a habit that man always pays.">, I chided her for it. <"Indeed, true. But I'm used to always pay.">, she answered me <"Not today. I hope, it won't hurt your pride.">, I reacted. <"No, more to the contrary.">, she said with smile. I paid for the food. We walked together out of the restaurant. <"May I walk you home?">, I asked. <"Yes you can. I have to change into conference dress. And then I'll go to theatre.">, she agreed. <"What they are playing today?">, I asked. <"Swan Lake. I haven't seen it yet.">, she answered me. <"Is it ballet or acrobatic version?">, I continued my questions. <"I think it is acrobatic version.">, she answered. <"If it's the acrobatic version, you'll see my sister.">, I remarked. <"Which role does she have?">. she asked. <"The leading role. Yeah. My little sister Sora Naegis.">, I answered. <"What? That Sora Naegis is your younger sister.">, she said with astonishment. <"Yes that's my younger sister, younger about two minutes">, I said with humour. We shortened the way, by going through fusty alley. At the end fifteen rebels rushed into us. <"Who do we have here? Isn't it SU member Lumiere? And she doesn't have her lover Éclair. What she the poor little will do alone? That ordinary boy won't get us, he looks so weak.">, uttered the leader of the group. <"I smell rats, but I don't see any, aren't you it, what smells like summer village sewerage. Crawl back to your sewer. Against me, you won't stand chance even all of you attacked me in same moment.">, I provoked him. Evidently it provoked them, so all of them attacked me. Lumiere hid behind me, because she didn't have much chances in the battle with Puppet. I swayed with my right arm and with Power, I created linear pressure wave. <"Lumiere, fourteen of fifteen. Don't you think, that I deserve punishment?">, I said. <"I think it is culpable">, she replied. The rebels ran away as soon as it was possible. I escorted her home. She had a small villa in villa estate. We stood in front of her house. <"Now the punishment for the not brought down rebel.">, she said. She came closer to me and kissed me passionately. <"Don't you want to come in for a visit?">, she asked. <"Maybe some other time. Duties are calling.">, I answered. I went away.
24/9/2467 --- It is two months from my straight encounter with Lumiere. I've never broken orders or code of rules so far. Because they were sacred for me. Today I flew behind the ship (Rosseta) of Éclair and Lumiere in new cloaked ship. They flew to arrest small wing of rebels. It went smoothly, till the time, when it turned bad. And seriously. From the five fighters it was a hundred fighters, fifty corvettes, twenty cruisers and thirteen heavy cruisers. My orders were: don't engage into the battle. After five minutes Rosseta was heavily damaged. And transmitted SOS signal on all union wavelengths. My orders were still: don't engage and don't try to help. But I broke my sacrament. I attacked all cruisers and heavy cruisers with shrinkage (gravity) torpedoes. All cruisers fell after three salves. And rest of fleet retreated. I flew closer to the ship and I boarded it's deck. From the hull was oxygen eluding. Nanotic shields hardly prevented eluding of oxygen from the bridge. When I came to the bridge, girls were lying on the floor without consciousness. I came to Lumiere I lifted her head and I put it on my lap. <"Lummi, wake up. You have to punish me for disobeying the orders. Lumiere! Please. Please wake up. Don't leave me."> I spoke to her. Lumiere didn't respond at all. So I carried the girls to my ship and attached Rosseta with guide ropes. And I took the girls to the hospital in prayers to take good take of them.
25/9/2467 --- Lumiere has regained consciousness, bud she doesn't remember much. Last thing that she can remember is our breakfast in restaurant and kiss. With Éclair it was worse; they had to create her new body and to move her mind into it. And I was promoted to first grade auditor.
