"Well, once we have information on this Squadron of the King, such information would include how they got here - which we can then use to our advantage." Philip remarks, and then he frowns. "Unfortunately, while I've entered Squadron of the King as a keyword, there's still several hundred thousand results. I imagine there'd be less if not for the recent expansion of the Gaia Library..."

"Eh?" Shotaro's eyes widen in surprise, looking at Philip in shock - as he was saying that in English, Jolyne was providing a rather rough translation. She may not have the best Japanese, but she is still far more versed in the language than the average American.

"Oh - I never did get to tell you about that, did I? Considering everything else, it became a lot lower in terms of priorities." Philip then turns his head in the direction of the group, eyes still closed. "In any case, however, I'll need another keyword if we hope to find any information on the Squadron of the King."

At this point, Mayapple, who's been mostly silent, speaks up. "This might not work as well as I hope, but...how about you try 'time'?"

"Time?" Jolyne looks at Mayapple with a raised eyebrow. "Why ti-"

"And that narrowed the results significantly." Philip cuts Jolyne off, causing her to alternate between staring at Philip and Mayapple with wide eyes. "Well done! How exactly did you think of that?"

Mayapple laughs a bit. "Well, I have a friend who tends to notice certain patterns, and I remember that he once told me that anyone closely related to time, regardless of alignment, tends to be drawn towards clocks - part of the reason he swore off time travel, apparently; couldn't see himself doing the aesthetic while remaining true to himself - so when I thought about the clockwork around that portal, I figured..."

"Woah!" The sword is effective; out of reflex, Jenny drops Grimlock, allowing him to complete his transformation.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker look at each other when they see Wulf raise another finger.

"Well, that's certainly not ominous at all..." Tucker mutters, looking warily around him.

"We can worry about that when we meet it face to face." Danny then turns to Wulf. "Konduku nin al ili."

"I have no idea." Is the answer the boy in the crater gets as FF looks at the parking garage behind him. "The people yelling in there might know, though...want to check?"
