Detective Henry is inside the Station's basement. He gave the blood bag to the Stations mortician and the tired and still pretty lady underneath the stoic and staunch posture of her lack of energy with her striped skirt and jacket underneath a lab coat checked the labels and their database to where it was supposed to go. She then writes down the information and confirms the Detective's suspicion.

"AB Type, this is good blood. Surprised it ended up all the way here."

"I took it from Woodstock, a metro train was carrying it. Supposedly to be transported via plane to Neo Tokyo after getting processed in an underground bunker."

"Mhm, well you're onto something now that's for sure. This is as concrete as it gets. Strange though, if your notes are correct. One goes to Sky Garden, which I presume is for personal use, and what about the black marketed one heading to somewhere else?"

"Hence why later, I'll be meeting with Fumiya san. He's a mid level merchant, he should have the skill for this."

"As expected from you. I'll confirm your findings and put it in the database. Also, if you're gonna take it home. Put it in your fridge please. Its freezer would be ideal."

"Yea, but first. I want to know, what'd I miss?"

"Nothing much. Everyone is still living in these cities pretending that the end of this world isn't nigh and we'll be with them if we don't get out."

"And the natives?"

"Lots of stuff, I traveled a bit while you were gone to Gareth since the UN was asking for Mortician Volunteers."

"Nice to see you also finally got around."

"Seeing that you went out there, from twelve months of being a scaredy cat and even to the Vampire Kingdom of all places, I knew I couldn't lose to you."

She then picks up her Mug with a text "Got Corpse?". The tired woman sits down on her office chair and puts her head down after sipping some coffee.

"But... It was tiring. The Pope really did mess it up big time by announcing the allowing of Demons and Beastmen to join the Holy See. I was sent there to investigate the corpses of the various creatures so that we could at least record the vast numbers of sentient races in this world and bring it home. It's an amazing symbiotic relationship between inferior and superior thinking species all in one planet."

"The more you describe this world... the more I find it to be absolutely crazy. One would imagine things would be more chaotic, but to a degree. Things are pretty quiet here. Apart from the stares I got as a human in the Vampire Kingdom, there seems to be a hierarchy here that everyone knows and respects the boundaries of."

"Because if they don't respect that boundary, they'll die. Though the fact that we're walking amongst Gods, Bahamut herself is present on this very planet and is helping a General from our world is fascinating to say the least."

"And the upcoming war between Good and Evil of this world..."

"Hm, I've talked to a Priest from the Holy See. He told me that one day, very near to the present. The hordes of Hell, whatever that is, will walk upon to the shores of this mortal realm as the Gates of the Underworld are opened to free them. Only the most powerful or luckiest of all the races will survive."

"This is crazy. Yeah, it is."

"But have you met Bahamut? You went and..." she stands up, animating herself once again and closes her computer and the glass door to her room in the basement morgue. "Talked to Queen Elizabeth? Is she as insane as the story makes her out to be? Or is her beauty really that great?"
