Hal raised an eyebrow when he heard her 'name'.

And already he was starting to suspect something.

".........fine." he said.

"Do what you will." he told her.

'Not like things can get much worse.' he then thought, shaking his head.

'...so let's see if this Chloe can help us.' he went on.

As she removed the cover without any delay or hesitation, Hal was literally able to see the electric shock that was affecting so many within the building, the reason for the lockdown.

it coursed over her, through her, and he could see the different mana's there. It was something that no one had been able to see before.

Chloe, meanwhile, just looked to Hal.

"Do you happen to have a container?" She asked. "I believe that this is the cause for the electricty I feel."

"A... container?" Hal asked in response, still amazed by what he saw.

"I... yes, I should." he responded.

He then started digging through a cabinet in the office, before pulling out a large glass container.

"Will this work?" he asked, showing her.

"It's meant to specifically contain mana, but there might be something rubber I can put it in if this isn't enough."

"Ah, that should work perfectly." Chloe answered before he set the container down. She reached for it, grabbed it, before collecting the mana, directing it there. Once in there, she stopped the container, trapping it in there.

"I was created to have resistances to mana, all of the basic elements." She stated, realising that he was likely confused.

".... and this cannot affect one that does not have a soul." She added as she looked at the mana within, mana that was moving rather spastically.

"Someone will need to return this to Austrailia. I do wonder how it even managed to get so far from home."

Hal was... amazed, to say the least.

"That's... impressive." he said.

"...wait." he then said.

"Wait, wait, hold on." he said further.

"Australia?" he asked. "Did you say Australia?" he asked her.

"I did." Chloe confirmed.

"...are you saying this attack originated all the way from AUSTRALIA!?" he exclaimed.

Chloe was silent for a moment, almost as if she was processing what he'd said.

"Attack?" She asked.

"As far as my information details, this insect that is colloquially know as the 'Soulless Spark' is here and merely acting out of survival instinct. I would wager that the poor thing is terrified." She told him simply as she looked to the small insect she had in her hands, technically, again.

"Do you happen to have a location that is more natural for this insect? Or Someone who could easily and reliably take it home, quickly? I am rather certain this is the only one, but I can check through the wiring to find out, if you would like?"

Hal was stunned for a moment, unable to say anything.

"This entire thing was caused by... that insect?" he asked.

He paused once more, before shaking his head.

"I do know of someone that can relocate it, yes." he told her. "It's just a matter of getting them here to do it." he went on.

"And... I admit, checking for more would... be comforting." he then told her.

"I don't want another one of these to cause another incident."

Chloe nodded.

"Of course." She said simply.

"I will just need access to the main electrical hub of the building to do a widespread sweep of all wiring and such within." She paused a moment.

"However, if you would prefer that I did it room by room, I could do that as well. Just tell me how you would prefer I do this."

"...." Hal was silent for a moment.

"In order to gain access to the main electrical hub, answer me this question." he told her.

"What do your eyes see?" he asked.

"They see the code." Chloe responded.

"...I'll need to have a word with my daughter about this." Hal then commented, before thinking about it.

"Ah!" he said.

"Are you, per chance, the project that her and Leonard have been working on for the past while?" he asked her.

Chloe just nodded.

"I am." She answered honestly.

"They finished with me and sent me here while The Sandman and Miss Trinity said she was going to go home, shower, and sleep." She added.

Hal was again silent for a moment, before groaning slightly.

"I swear, her being introduced to that movie started an obsession." he mumbled.

He then sighed and made sure that Chloe had the access she needed, and shook his head.

"Now go." he told her.

"...maybe this damn barrier can come down a lot sooner than anticipated." he went on.

".....and the damn insect can be removed from this building permanently." he added quietly.

"Thank you." Chloe said simply. "And of course. I will do all I can in order to help." She added before pausing a moment.

"I was not originally sent here to help with this, though. I admit." She then said.

"... is there anything else I should be aware of before I start what I was originally sent here to do?"

Hal paused as well.

"Hm." he muttered. "Well, we're having an issue where people's souls are being separated from their bodies, and we have yet to find a way to bring them back together." he told her. "THAT'S a siseable thing we're dealing with." he informed her.

"But this begs a question first." he then told her.

"You were not originally sent here to help with this, you say." he commented.

She nodded in response.

"What IS your original purpose?" he asked. "Why did my daughter send you here?" he asked further.

He was wondering that ever since Chloe showed up. WHY was she here? What purpose was she to serve while here?

"My name, simply put, is Chloe. But it's fully - Calibrated Hotspot 1.0 Eternal." Chloe answered, as if she wasn't answering his question.

"I am meant to be a mobile resource for any agents or staff that may need my help. I can be here and access everything, or I can be out in the field, halfway across the world, and be able to access as well." She continued.

"However, the first thing I was tasked with, is to upgrade your cyber security, as I was created to help stop several attacks in the immediate."

Hal's realisation came to him instantly.

"...because of what I was complaining about months ago..." he mumbled.

"Of course." he said, pinching the bridge of his nose again.

"That girl, I swear." he muttered.

"Well, that is going to have to wait." he told her.

"As it stands, we're in a crisis involving the shocks, and the soul separation."

Chloe nodded.

"Of course." She said simply.

"Is there anything I can do to help with the soul aspect? The insect has been caught, and I will find if there are any others, as well." She continued "But that will do nothing for the soul detachment that has occurred."

Hal just sighed.

"I doubt it." he said.

"Not unless you have soul-manipulation mana in you, or know a lot about advanced alchemical equations." he told her.

"Either of those would help." he said further.

"Otherwise... no." he sighed.

"Alchemy?" Chloe asked before nodding.

"I presume the lab would be the best location for this?" She asked. "I have a vast directory devoted to just alchemical equations, theories, and mixes." She told him simply.

"Anything that those that created me could access, I have." She finished with. Surely that wouldn't be much, right? Neither Leo nor Lunet were alchemists.

However, Cain was.

"Hmmm." Hal mumbled.

He thought for a moment, before raising an eyebrow.

"Go to the lab when you can." he told her.

"I'll let them know you're coming." he said.

"Help them with what they're doing." he continued.

It was a long shot, but he had to try it.

Chloe merely nodded before bidding him farewell and heading off to find out if there were any other insects within the building. She knew that was the first thing to do.

Robyn just sighed as she stared at the whireboard she was standingin front of, a marker in her hand, and an annoyed expression on her face.

"I .... don't know where the incompatibilities are." She admitted.

"I just... I have no idea."
