Vicki accepted the device and nodded.

"All right then." She said.

"Thanks. That's most definitely good to know." She commented after a moment or two.

"I really do hope I can help..."

"Only one way to find out." Ash responded.

"Anyway, see ya." he told her, before leaving.

About 30 seconds later, Taylor showed up.

"I heard the last bit of that." he told her.

"Because I'm willing to bet he didn't share how to contact what person, want me to write down some key people and numbers?" he offered.

"You don't need to be blindly pressing buttons to find a number, or speed-dialing the wrong person, seeing as that device doesn't have a proper contact's list." he then reasoned.

Vicki was silent for a oment before sighing.

"That would be amazing." She commented with a laugh.

"Seriously. I'd appreciate it. I assumed t would have something akin to a contact list."

Taylor then nodded and entered the room. He sat down at one of the small tables with a paper and pen, before writing down about 10 key people, 2 of which being himself and Ash.

"Here." he said, handing it to her.

"Vic never wrote them down as she had them memorised, but... well, you're not her." he reasoned.

"But there you go. 10 people to contact, and the inputs to reach them." he said.

"...you doing all right?" he then asked, concern in his tone.

Vicki looked over the contacts and sighed lightly.

"This... is going to be amazing handy, I think." She commented before pausing.

"And allright? That's... probably a stretch." She admitted after a few seconds.

"This is... well... it's stressful. I feel like I don't know what the hell is going on, and I also get the feeling that's not entirely far off." She added.

"At the same time though, I just... " She paused, shaking her head.

"Honestly, it's a headache. How about yourself? You doing all right?" She asked

Taylor looked out the window, to the sky, and just bit his lip.

"I hang in there." he said.

"Or try to, anyway." he said further.

"Every night I pray that we find salvation, but... I don't know, I wonder if it even works. If it's even worth doing." he then admitted.

"I keep hoping that heaven will help us. Save us." he continued.

"But each passing day, that hope wanes a little more."

Vicki paused a moment.

"Well... I would like to believe that Dad wouldn't have let this planet go to ruins completely." She commented before biting her lip slightly.

"But with some of what I was told... I con'd actually know if that's something I can accurately say." She added.

"Sadly. I just... I don't know."

Taylor looked confused for a moment, before shrugging.

"I'll keep trying." he said.

"Can't hurt, anyway..." he mumbled.

"Sorry to bother you." he then apologised. "I'll get out of your hair." he told her.

"Oh, and there's a good chance you'll be able to mingle about by the start of next week." he then said. "People are starting to realise you're not Vic, or that you're not going to attack, at the very least."

"You don't have to leave if you don't want to, Tay." Vicki told him.

"And good to know. I just... am not enjoying being locked in here, if I'm being honest." She dded.

"I understand why I am, but that doesn't mean I'm enjoying it."

"Well, that should end soon." Taylor told her.

"There anything I can do to help?" he asked.

"Even if it's cleaning or organising or anything?" he offered.

"I know you're devoting almost all your time to this, so... if anything, I can make things a little neater or more tolerable in here." he reasoned, as he looked around slightly.

"Yeah, just... lemme know if there's anything."

Vicki was silent for a moment.

"Yeah... I really have been." She agreed.

"But, it needs to be done. I need to get the information." She added. "And if the only way I can, is by spending all my time studying, reading all these notes, then that's what I'll do."

"as for cleaning or organising.... that's never been my strong point." she admitted after a few seconds. If you feel something should be straightened, please, feel free. It would likely just not occur to me."[/b]

Taylor looked around, before nodding.

"Right." he said.

"Yeah, I think I can... definitely do some things here." he told her.

"Actually, on that note, I'll be right back." he then said.

"Getting a broom, a dustpan, and some cleaning supplies." he continued.

"Vic might not have been big on cleaning, but damn it, if you're going to be in here, it may as well at least be hygienic!"

Vicki just laughed.

"Do as you need to. Trust me, she may not have cared, but I do." She said. "And than kyou."

After he'd left to get what he was after, she just sighed, heavily, as she looked back to what she'd been trying to research.

"Fuck it, I need a break. Let's see if I can get anywhere with trying to find Alice this time." She muttered before mamking her way to the windows and just concentrating, causing a small stream of mana to head out one of the holes. It was tiny, nigh on imperceptible, and for some reason she already knew that it wouldn't draw the monstrous things attention.

The stream of mana seemed to start to go out into the world... but then it stopped... and looked like it wanted to go back to her. But it didn't. It went off to the left, and continued on from what she could see.

She then noticed that same stream of mana come from the other side, off to the right, and continued on to the left.

And then it did it again.

Which meant that her mana stream was just... circling the building.

Constantly.

As Vicki got a feel for what was going on, she paused. When she looked to see the confirmation, she sighed.

That meant... well, it could meant a few different things.

One being that her sister was dead, and it had nowhere to go.

The second being that her sister was actually somewhere protected, somewhere her mana couldn't reach.

And finally, it could be that her sister was in this very building, but she was sure that someone would have noticed it at some point if she was. Why would Ash stay quiet about that?

As soon as she finished recalling her mana stream back, and pondered the options the result could mean, Taylor came back with several supplies.

"Hey again." he greeted her.

"Anyway, I'm going to get to work." he told her. "Lemme know if I start becoming a bother." he said further.

"I'll start with the bathroom, though that should still be decently clean." he went on.

"But... start there, work out from there." he shrugged.

"...pretty desolate-looking out there, huh?" he then asked with a small sigh.

Vicki was silent for a moment before shaking her head and looking to Taylor.

"It really is." She agreed with a nod.

"But... hmmm." She started, wondering if it was even worthwhile to say anything. She didn't debate for long, thinking he could use some hope.

"... I think my sister is alive." she then said bluntly as he started to make his way to the room in question.

Taylor froze in place when he heard that.

"...wh... what...?" he asked, looking at her.

"How...? How do you know?" he asked her.

"Like... what makes you say that?" he clarified.

As he spoke, there was definite hope in his tone... but caution as well.

She could tell... he was scared to hope, but it wasn't gone. Not yet.

"That's just it, I don't know for certain." Vicki told him honestly.

"However, .... her mana is here. I think. Maybe." She added.

"Look, I know it's not much, but..." She filled him in on what she did, and what happened with it.

"I think it means she's alive."

"...I see." Taylor responded after a pause.

"Well.. thank you for telling me that." he said.

"It's something, at least." he reasoned, before walking into the bathroom.

It might have looked like her info hadn't changed his attitude much, but she could tell it did something for him... especially when she heard light whistling as he worked on the bathroom.

It was slight, it was soft, but it was there.

And it was upbeat.
