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.

... Are you nervous?

...A little? Not really sure why.

I've had a weird day. My brain's on the fritz.

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.

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.

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.

That's why no one does.

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.

I dunno, they can be useful.

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

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.

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.

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.

Hmm. You drive a hard bargain, Shiyoko.

I accept these conditions.

Though, if I need to run out, keep in mind, Shinoko, Kamala and I are moving in with Mom.

Since my step-dad is overseas for the next year or two.

Right, you're all down by the property Shiroko and I have been fixing up, yeah? I can drop by over there.

I'd prefer we did it at the office so you don't get distracted.

Hey. I don't get that distracted.

...But fair enough.

Yes you did.

And got blackout drunk. So excuse me for being skeptical.

I don't get blackout drunk!

...Anymore.

Look, you've made your case.
