[Video -- Open post this time!]

[Athrun has not been seen much in the past 24 hours. He's been out searching for bombs, getting food, or getting rest. Finally, once 24 hours had passed, Athrun had gone home to get himself cleaned up.

So when his face appears on the screen, he has that fresh shower look.]

As you might have heard, the bomb threat was almost fully neutralized. We were able to find and disarm all but one of the bombs, which was apparently well-hidden inside a slot machine. But no one was seriously hurt in that plot, and the damage should be fixed quickly. I'm sorry for the worry that all of this caused.

[Video -- Locked to PGC]

All the bombs have been disposed of, except for two. The fuses have been cut, so there's no danger of a detonation. I plan to investigate the bombs and see if we can get any insight into who made them based on the structure and technology used. Would anyone like to give me a hand with this?

[Video -- Locked to Shinn, Lacus, and Miki]

I'm at the house right now. Come stop by when you get the chance.

Will it be alright for Miki to do that? [ Her concern is easily seen in her expression and soft tone. ] To come visit you, Athrun-kun?

[One bomb, when he'd threatened to destroy the entire building. All in all, this is a win for them. Thank Etro.]

How much do you think you can get from them? Do people leave signatures when they build things like that?

Athrun ... Are you hurt?

[ Nods. ] I am on my way ...

Enjoy your victory while you can.

[Whoa, you took care of that bomb threat? Not bad!]

Great job. It's good to hear no one was hurt. What about that guy behind it? Did someone catch him?

Of course. It's safe now, and I'm still in one piece. Just come see it for yourself if you don't believe me.

Not exactly, but you can still learn where a person might have come from based on how the bomb was built. Especially here, in a place where people from all sorts of different worlds meet.

[Athrun gives Lacus the most reassuring smile he can muster.]

I'm fine. I'd just like a chance to relax, and having some friends around would help me do that.

I'll be sure to do that. Like I said, you can't expect to always win.

Unfortunately, no -- no one was able to figure out exactly where he is, so he's still at large. He has to be somewhere within the city limits, though, so I'm sure the search will continue for now.

Really? And you're sure he's still in the city? Do you need any help?

[Well, he was planning on leaving today... But it won't hurt to stick around a bit longer.]

Unfortunately, I won't be involved in the search today. But if you could help, I'm sure the others would appreciate it. Do you know a man by the name of Major Armstrong?

I am glad ... so very glad ...

... Shinn? Is he alright?

[ She was still worried ... she won't smile until she can see for herself that he is fine]

I will be there soon. Wait for me, okay?

Oh yeah, I know Armstrong. He's from the same world as I am. I can get in contact with him.

Shinn's okay, too. He's a little more banged up than me, but it's all minor scratches and such.

I'll be waiting. I have nothing else on my plate for today, after all.

No. You can't. I hope you'll remember that in the future.

Oh, really? Well, that makes things simple. Just tell him that Athrun Zala gave you permission to help search for the culprit.

Sure thing. Thanks!

[ A few minutes later, Athrun will find Lacus knocking on his door. ]

Athrun? It's me, Lacus ...

Would it do us any good to know that, though? It's not like we'd get the name of a world from how the bombs are constructed, so we can't go and ask for anyone from that world to see if they built them.

Okay, but Miki has a lot of things to carry right now, so it might take Miki a while.

A lot of things to carry? Like what?

That's not necessarily the case. Do we have any double agents in Team Rocket? If we do, we can supply them with the information and let them investigate.

[Athrun gets out of the chair he was sitting in and opens the door. A slight hint of aftershave floats in the air around him.]

I'm glad to see you in person. Please, come in.

[With that, he'll step aside to allow Lacus entry.]

Miki might have visited the Breeding Centre since it seemed pretty safe yesterday...
