I'm sure all this talk about about the new Duel Links system is exciting for a lot of people but I can't help but wonder how all this stuff about the VR tech is going to make my job a nightmare. Not like OOPARTS doesn't have enough stuff to worry about...

That said, we're always hiring. We have reasonable hours, a well-stocked R&D division, and low overhead. Inquire with me or Niyo if you're interested. We've seen a pretty reasonable growth in non-action roles in the past few months.

Speaking of, though, with the resurgence of D-Wheels I've finished refitting the garage - if you've got your own D-Wheels, stock 'em there. If you don't have one, there's some old SpecInv models I've finished refitting and tuning up. If you need someone to look at your stuff, let me know, I learned from Shiyoko and she's the best in the biz, so I know what I'm doing with these machines.

...Can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something... oh well.

Oh gods.

Hello, Trena, what's the issue?

It's probably just that tech demonstration of Duel Guards we had to do with the lingerie models including Everheart.

I know you and her have weird tension.

Many hotdogs in face.

Everheart...?

Wait, yeah, now I remember. Ugh. Yeah, that might do it.

Look, I know she has a lousy attitude, and you and her mix like oil and water, but she's really good at modeling work.

She just also happens to get under your skin easily.

That might be a bit much.

You can never have enough hotdogs.

Ook.

There's some cosmic irony at work in someone getting under my skin, of all things.

At least we didn't have to deal with her sister at the same time.

Vidya's fine.

You just don't like her for all the stuff she's done.

Oh she's fine, misgivings aside, it's just that dealing with Vidya and Priti at the same time is recipe for disaster.

WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW

That's why no one does.

The OOPARTS office.

[ Opening his windows before he sends this message, because he's pretty sure of what comes next. ]

Or they try not to, in my case.

Anyway, I can bite my tongue for the purposes of professionalism, especially since with the new regulations coming out for Action Duels the actual 'protective' element of the Duel Guards is going to end up being more of a non-issue.

You're wise. There's a shrill screech and then a scramble as Trena comes into view.

... she's in her 'detective' gear, with cowl and a deer stalker hat.

"ALRIGHT NERD

WHAT'S UP

WHY DO GEO AND SUGURU WORK FOR YOU

WHY IS KIKO NOT LOOKING LIKE SHE'S GONNA EVERYTHING IF ONE MORE BAD THING HAPPENS TO HER

WHY IS SERENA REIJI'S BROTHER

WHY IS YOUR HAIRCUT SO DUMB"

I dunno, they can be useful.

Try considering how to make them work with Riding Duels and Duel Links.

[ Trena you realize he has open office hours, yes. You don't have to do this every time. ]

...My haircut's the same as it always been...? I thought it looked fine...

And I... uh. Don't understand. Geo's been working here a while. Kiko's never been that on edge... and, hasn't Serena always been Akaba's brother?

[ He's looking confused, like he's got a headache already. ]

"AM I THE CRAZY ONE THEN?!

I WAS NEARLY A GODDESS ONNI

A GODDESS OF DESTRUCTION, IT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT."

That's been the next step, yeah. I've got a couple prototypes in the work for a version you can install on a D-Wheel. It's got less options for cosmetic changes because a lot of that takes actual mod work on the D-Wheel but the protective field should work for the D-Wheel and driver in tandem.

Still working on a Duel Links compatible version. I might've minored in CompSci, but a lot of this VR tech is flying over my head in some regards.

I- hold on, Trena, slow down for, like, two seconds. Just this once.

Are you saying something happened? Cause...

{He's wracking his brain. A part of him feels like he -should- remember what Trena's talking about, but he doesn't.]

Yeah.

I might be a STEM graduate but this "Data Material" stuff I'm hearing from SOL, Leo Corp and Kaiba Corp is making me dizzy.

THERE it is. That's all she needed

"... I think so. I am unsure. I saw you posting that you felt like you were forgetting something big... But also feels like I alone am remembering?

But on other hand, things seem to also be better for most part? Is weird seeing Geo and Kiko happy, but also very good. Have not run into birth father yet, but... he does not work for you any longer, yes?"

Kaz? Not in an official capacity. We call on him for consultations occasionally, but... no. Do... you remember him working for me?

[ He's hitting a switch as a hardlight whiteboard pops over his desk, he's scribbling things down as Trena's talking. ]

We should get together and try to work some of this out. I bet we each understand about half the puzzle. That's how this usually goes.

Only if you bring the fast food.
