After a nearly 16-hour flight, the jet landed at Hanamaki Airport. From there it was a short cab ride into the city. The village itself was still a disaster area and thus closed to outsiders. Sophie reasoned their next stop should be where the three survivors from the flood were taken to recover -- the Morioka Red Cross Hospital. Perhaps there would be some indication in their medical records of which one was the Inhuman.
Sophie and Nebula moved through the hallways of the hospital with relative ease, receiving little pushback when Sophie explained that Nebula was a character in an upcoming anime and was there to cheer up the sick children. The prize fighter had received some odd looks and requests for photos, but thankfully took it in stride without doing any physical harm to the personnel.
Sophie used a translation app on her phone to follow the posted signs on the walls, and eventually found that the patients' medical records were in a secure space one level below the ground floor. Sophie looked up and down the hallway to make sure no one was coming before approaching the door. Seeing that there was a keypad with a security code, she retrieved a rectangular object from her purse and plugged it into the access code panel. Its digital display began to cycle through numbers.
"Bit of tech borrowed from a former employer," she explained to Nebula. "It'll work out all the possible permutations of the four-digit code until it finds the right one. Which might take a while...."

Since landing their feet in Japan, Nebula followed Sophie's lead as they navigated their way to the hospital. The flight was long, but it didn't phase Nebula entirely much as she was able to power down and sleep most of the travel hours away in between attempts of awkward small talk with her new boss. The wreckage of the village was daunting, almost like something Nebula had recognized from a tragic movie she tried to watch in an attempt to understand this planet's culture. The entire village was closed off for safety reasons, so they bypassed the horrific scene and headed to their first destination to try and gather an idea of what or who had caused the unnecessary havoc.
Navigating the halls of the hospital was a rather bizarre experience for Nebula. She felt as if she had landed in a different world as she became slightly overwhelmed with being awed over and being stopped for photo opportunities. Though, Sophie did her a huge service by keeping her moving forward through the people and corridors while keeping Nebula's head in the game.
Nebula followed Sophie as she translated the signs on the walls that led them to the conclusion as to where the information was that they needed. They landed themselves in front of a door with a keypad, waiting for a code to be punched in. She watched as Sophie pulled a gadget out and plugged it into the access code panel.
"Bit of tech borrowed from a former employer," "It'll work out all the possible permutations of the four-digit code until it finds the right one. Which might take a while...."
"I'll watch your back," Nebula nodded, understanding the assignment as she turned around from Sophie to gaze down the hallways, ready to jump into action in case anyone caught them in the act. Moments went by as the gadget was still working it's magic. Nebula diverted her gaze for a moment to peer over her shoulder at Sophie to check on the progress before turning back into a watchdog.

"I'll watch your back."
"Thank you," Sophie confirmed. "Depending on what we find in their records, we'll have to track the survivors down to interview them. See if they have any information about what led up to the flood. Don't worry, I'll do all the talking," she added with a grin, fairly certain that Nebula wasn't looking forward to that task. She continued to stare at the code display, willing it to work harder before anyone noticed their presence in person or on the security cameras.
"I don't supposed you have anything up your bionic sleeves that would help in code-breaking, do you?" Sophie inquired. Not meaning to make Nebula sound like a fancy vacuum with a range of attachments but well, there was certainly advanced circuitry under the woman's blue skin.

Satoru Gojo - tempplay by Ariel -
Everything was but a blur. Satoru wrestled to wake up, fighting for consciousness. His eyes blinked with intensity as he came to in the hospital bed. He had no idea where he was, all he could remember last was snapping a photo of Hanami, his beautiful wife, and her delectable plate of food at the outdoor patio they sat at. Hanami..., The ceiling of the hospital room finally came into view and realizing where he was his heart instantly sank before the sensation of pain finally crept in. Peering downwards, he was placed in a gown under blankets in the bed. Satoru grew immensely horrified at the sight of his arm and leg held captive in bandages, elevated on hospital equipment. The pain was manageable for now, thanks to the IV drip of pain medication that leaked into his body. Satoru stared upwards in a daze at the bag of medication that dripped down into a tube, making it's way into his body. And as his head turned, that's when he saw her. Hanami, his wife, laying unusually still in the bed next to her.
"N-Nani?" Satoru's voice quivered with emotion as his eyes began to weld with tears. Laying in a similar getup as his own, yet she had not yet come to as she lay in unconsciousness, "Hanami," Satoru tried to speak loudly as to grab her attention through his shaky voice, yet she did not wake to his call, "Hanami!!" He called out again, his voice surging with pain as he longed for his beloved wife to awaken. But she did not.
(Translation: Nani - 'What?')

Ken-Chin Hanagaki - tempplay by Ariel -
Nurses came in to check on Ken-Chin on a frequent rotation. Yet, his mother had yet to show up. Shaking in fear, Ken-Chin sat upwards on the bed as his back rested on the elevated back. He remembered everything. From the crashing waves that filled the village, to his mother's pleads for him to survive. Her screams echoed through his head over and over again as the image of her being washed away by the current played on repeat. She had to be alive, she just had to be. And yet, according to the nurses she wasn't in the hospital. Clutching onto the blankets that wrapped around him with his bandaged fists, his eyes began to grow hot with tears as they streamed down his face.
"Okaasan...," Ken-Chin's voice trailed off into a silent whisper as he longed for his mother's warm embrace to tell him that everything was going to be okay. But it wasn't.
(Translation: Okaasan - 'Mom')

"I don't supposed you have anything up your bionic sleeves that would help in code-breaking, do you?"
Nebula peered over her shoulder once more to face Sophie. She knew just well as her boss that the process was taking too long. It wouldn't be long before someone came across them trying to break in, and their mission would be foiled. Letting out a sigh, Nebula turned around and wordlessly approached the door. She examined it's crevasses, looking for a way in. "Step back," Nebula instructed Sophie as she retreated to her last resort. She inched her fingertips in between the door and the wall and with a minor grunt, Nebula began to slowly push the door open with her immense strength. The metal of the door made a grinding sound with every push, though it only took moments for Nebula to push the way open for them, "Done. Let's go," Nebula hopped right to it as she led the way inside. Although she knew what they had to do, she still wasn't entirely confident to take the reigns in the operation so as soon as they made their way inside, Nebula allowed Sophie to continue to take the lead.

"Done. Let's go."
Sophie stood aside in silent awe as Nebula made short work of the secured door. "Or we could do that," she muttered, stowing away the apparently useless device and sliding through the now open entrance. It was certainly helpful having someone on the team with supernatural strength. As a reflex, she tried to push the door closed, first with her hand and then more forcefully with her shoulder, but it was clear the door was not going back into position. Which would certainly look suspicious.
With time not on their side, Sophie began to track down the folders for each of the flood's survivors, pulling them from the shelf and placing them on a nearby table. "Husband and wife, Satoru and Hanami Gojo, and Ken-Chin Hanagaki," she advised, reviewing each folder's contents. "If we're lucky, there could be something in here that obviously identifies them as Inhuman -- bloodwork, x-rays, test results. If not ... well, we'll have to get creative."

"Husband and wife, Satoru and Hanami Gojo, and Ken-Chin Hanagaki," "If we're lucky, there could be something in here that obviously identifies them as Inhuman -- bloodwork, x-rays, test results. If not ... well, we'll have to get creative."
Nebula picked up the first folder that had landed in front of her that belonged to Ken-Chin, and opening it she retrieved the paper contents. She came across imaging of what looked like an arm bone scan, there were notes of soft tissue damage but fortunately no fractures or breaks. Nebula flipped over to an ER intake assessment, the boy had suffered injuries from the flood but nothing life threatening. The report also described how the boy had been with his mother, but she got swept away, "I think I may have found something," Nebula looked up at Sophie, before handing over the assessment page with all of the details she had just read, "Do you think this boy's mother might be our Inhuman?" Nebula asked, in hopes that they had found somewhat of a lead.

Sophie was busily scanning the folder for Mr. Gojo, but not seeing anything out of the ordinary. All the bloodwork results seemed to be within the normal range, and there was nothing extraordinary about his injuries. It would take a more thorough genetic examination to see if he carried any of the markers that distinguished the Inhumans.
"I think I may have found something. Do you think this boy's mother might be our Inhuman?"
Sophie took a look at the boy's file and nodded at Nebula. "Hmm, it's possible," she agreed. "Her body hasn't been recovered. But sadly, that's the case for a lot of the victims. Looks like the boy is a local," she observed. "That would make more sense than the Gojo couple that was visiting from Tokyo. Still, you wouldn't think she'd put her own child at risk."
Her internal clock told her that someone would soon notice their presence, or the damaged door, so they needed to get moving. "No discharge papers in here, which means they're still in the hospital," Sophie concluded, gathering up the folders in her arms. "Let's go pay Mr. and Mrs. Gojo a visit in Room 204, shall we?" she suggested, sliding through the door back into the hallway and walking toward the stairwell.

"No discharge papers in here, which means they're still in the hospital," "Let's go pay Mr. and Mrs. Gojo a visit in Room 204, shall we?"
Nebula nodded in agreement. As far as she was concerned, she was simply following Sophie's lead, trusting that it would lead to their own victory and success in what they had set out for. Helping those who aren't familiar with themselves find some sort of safety and security in their conditions. Something that Nebula had wished she had had at some point during her life, other than just being prodded and upgraded into a killing machine. She slipped through the door with Sophie as they made their way to room 204 to speak with the first suspect.

Satoru Gojo - tempplay by Ariel - Eyes filled with tears, Satoru was at a complete and total loss. Bed bound himself, he didn't know how to help his wife. His gaze was glued to her face, for an inkling of a response of any kind. Yet, she remained as still as as porcelain doll as she lied still upon her bed. His head swiveled around faster than the speed of light as he heard sudden noises intruding into their space. A blue woman and a companion that appeared to be human. "Anatahadare? Naze anata wa koko ni iru nodesu ka?" Satoru called out in his native language unaware that the beings before him were not familiar with his native tongue. (Anatahadare? Naze anata wa koko ni iru nodesu ka? - japanese to english translation: Who are you? Why are you here?)

"Anatahadare? Naze anata wa koko ni iru nodesu ka?"
Sophie had barely crossed the threshold of the hospital room before she was met by questions from one of its residents. "Ah, you're awake! Hello, Mr. Gojo," she greeted, her hands clasped together to accompany a polite bow. "I'm afraid I don't speak Japanese, but I can guess that you'd like to know who I am and why I'm here."
With a quick glance over to the female occupant of the room, she observed that Mrs. Gojo seemed to still be unconscious. Her husband was awake but immobile, a severely injured arm and leg held up in traction. Sophie stood at the foot of his hospital bed and addressed him. "My name is Sophie Briggs, I'm with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration," she explained. "NOAA, for short. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the day of the flood."
She tried to keep his attention on her, and away from Nebula. Best not to bring attention to her colleague. Even if he questioned her appearance, Sophie could easily blame it on a hallucination brought on by the generous dose of morphine Mr. Gojo was now receiving.

Nebula watched by Sophie's side as she tried to converse with the injured man laying in the hospital bed. He looked like he was in pretty bad shape, but still able to be conscious and talk. Unlike the woman who lay in the hospital bed opposite to him, who appeared to be unconscious. Nebula remained silent as she allowed Sophie to take the reigns, understanding that she most likely had a system when it came to these kinds of missions. For now, Nebula would take a backseat and pay attention as she learned this new business, attentive to any detail the suspects may give.

Satoru Gojo - tempplay by Ariel - "I'm afraid I don't speak Japanese, but I can guess that you'd like to know who I am and why I'm here."While surprised to find foreigners at his bedside, especially one that looked like a character that had jumped straight from an anime, Satoru nodded slowly. He wasn't entirely fluent in the english language, but he understood bits and parts. A few months ago, Hanami had started to teach him how to speak english from her times being in America with their dream of mind to travel to Los Angeles one day. Now, he wasn't certain if that one day would come. "My name is Sophie Briggs, I'm with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration," "NOAA, for short. I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the day of the flood."
"So-phie Briggs-u...N...O..A, A," Satoru repeated back to Sophie, with the understanding that she might be some sort of detective or government official wanting answers on what happened to cause the flood. He tried to shift himself upright in the hospital bed, yet the moment he moved he winced with a great deal of pain that surged through his injured limbs before addressing Sophie in the best english possible, "What about flood you want to know?" Satoru struggled to find the words and he had no idea if he was even pronouncing them right, but he had a feeling that he would be able to communicate with this woman who seemed like she wanted to help with her weird blue friend.

"So-phie Briggs-u...N...O..A, A. What about flood you want to know?"
"Oh, your English is quite good, well done. May I sit?" Sophie asked, while already in the process of pulling up a chair. The patient seemed at least open to answering questions instead of the understandable reaction of telling them both to bugger off. Sophie retrieved a small notebook and pen from her bag once she'd taken a seat.
"Now, NOAA has a ring of what you might call alarms around the Pacific, meant to detect earthquakes," she began. "The sort of earthquakes that cause tsunamis that can then lead to floods. That allows us to warn people to evacuate. But no alarms were set off before the flood here. Can you remember seeing or hearing anything strange that day, or the day before?"

But no alarms were set off before the flood here. Can you remember seeing or hearing anything strange that day, or the day before?" Satoru had mild difficulty understanding what exactly Sophie was saying, but he could make out something to do with no alarms, flood, and being questioned hearing something strange on the day. He glanced over at Hanami for a moment, wishing she would wake up. Things would just be so much easier if she was about to talk to Sophie. Yet, she still lay there without any flutters or movements. "Umm," Satoru looked back at Sophie and the blue girl, trying to piece together what exactly it was he wanted to convey in english, "Hanami said 'travel warning'...but we came. No strange thing. Village...quiet. Quiet," Satoru explained in the best way he possibly could, "Water came and....and...," Satoru's face crumpled in anguish as he tried to recall the events, but he had blacked out, "No remember." He shook his head back and forth, "Hanami. Help...please?" Satoru asked Sophie with a strain of desperation in his voice. She might not be a doctor, but perhaps he figured these officials could put a good word in to help his wife be tended to for tests.

"Umm, Hanami said 'travel warning'...but we came. No strange thing. Village...quiet. Quiet. Water came and....and...No remember. ... Hanami. Help...please?"
"Of course, we'll find some help for your wife," Sophie assured him, following his concerned gaze to the other occupant of the room. "As soon as we're done here." Granted, 'help' would mean getting her and Nebula kicked out of the hospital, so she kept an eye on Satoru's hand that rested near the call button while she trusted Nebula to keep an eye on the door.
Since Satoru heard and saw nothing, that confirmed that the flood was a surprise to the village. No hints or foreshadowing of the disaster to come. "You and your wife are visiting from Tokyo, correct?" Sophie asked. "I know these questions will sound strange, but have you or Mrs. Gojo experienced any sudden illnesses or changes in your health? Have you eaten or been drinking anything out of the ordinary?"

Nebula watched the questioning unfold before her as Sophie did her job. She got the gist of what it was her boss was doing and felt rather useless just sitting on the sidelines. Knowing that Sophie had the minor interrogation of the patient under control, she stood up and slowly moved near the door. Hidden enough so that no one would see her, but stealthily enough to keep tabs on the door to watch for any nurses or doctors about to enter in on where they technically were not supposed to be.

"I know these questions will sound strange, but have you or Mrs. Gojo experienced any sudden illnesses or changes in your health? Have you eaten or been drinking anything out of the ordinary?"Satoru allowed the question in english to soak in as he tried his best to interpret her words. To him, it sounded as if Sophie was asking about their health and eating habits while they were traveling abroad. Satoru took a moment to recollect if they had been feeling ill or off since their arrival, trying to remember what it was they had eaten. Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary as far has he could recall, so he shook his head in a negative fashion, "No," He finally responded, "Feeling okay. Village food is fine." Satoru confirmed, thinking it rather strange though most likely routine for Sophie to ask.

"No, feeling okay. Village food is fine."
Sophie sighed. "This is a bloody dead end," she muttered, trusting that the low volume and language barrier would prevent him from hearing. "Was it Hanami's idea to come here, Mr. Gojo?" she asked, her voice and expression growing harsher. An alternate interrogation tactic -- Attack the thing they love, convince them the only way to protect it is to reveal the truth.
"Has something changed with your wife? Can she now do things that she couldn't do before?" Sophie demanded, leaning closer and snatching the call button out of his reach. "If she has and you choose not to tell me, she will continue to endanger herself and everyone around her. You need my help right now. But I cannot protect you and her if you're not honest with me."

Satoru Gojo - tempplay by Ariel - "Has something changed with your wife? Can she now do things that she couldn't do before?" "If she has and you choose not to tell me, she will continue to endanger herself and everyone around her. You need my help right now. But I cannot protect you and her if you're not honest with me."
Horror struck over Satoru's complexion as his eyes widened in shock. He knew this woman was making accusations against his wife. And yet, his own wife was not awake to even defend herself. After what he had been through, what did he even know to be true or not? His chest began to rise and fall at a more rapid pace as he stared at Sophie in disbelief, "Hanami...different? Caused flood?" He spoke out of dire confusion. He wanted to be angry. So angry. And yet, who else was he to believe in his state, "N-no...no...," Satoru looked over at Hanami laying still. And now even he second guessed the whole situation in his clouded state.

Nebula heard every word as the situation began to escalate. She was aware that Sophie was looking for answers and would fetch them in any way she knew she could. But she could feel just how horrified this man was. And if the woman who lay in the same room as him was indeed an inhuman, Nebula wasn't so sure that she would be in such a critical state for someone who had such massive powers. Continuing to keep tabs on the door, Nebula shuffled to Sophie's side, "I know you know what you're doing, but do you really think it's her?" Nebula looked at Sophie with a flash of realism over her complexion as she questioned her.

"Hanami...different? Caused flood? N-no...no...."
"I know you know what you're doing, but do you really think it's her?"
"Nope, just a working theory," Sophie casually answered Nebula. Under threat to himself or his wife, Satoru's powers (if he had them) would have manifested. But at the moment, the power of his elevated heartrate was sending a message to the nurse's station for their help. "And we're about to get our open invitation revoked, so..."
She calmly straightened herself up, while replacing the chair and gathering her things. She turned to address Nebula as she walked toward the door. "The boy's in room 208, see if he'll tell you anything. I'll deal with the staff. We'll meet back at the noodle place beside the hotel. Good luck!" she concluded with a cheery smile and an encouraging tap on Nebula's shoulder as she headed out into the hallway. She allowed her partner enough time to be on her way before calling down the hall, "Someone, please! This man needs help!"
Sophie sidestepped the oncoming rush of nurses, made her way down the hall, dropped the stolen patient records off at the nurse's station and headed for the nearest stairwell.

"The boy's in room 208, see if he'll tell you anything. I'll deal with the staff. We'll meet back at the noodle place beside the hotel. Good luck!" "Someone, please! This man needs help!"
Nebula nodded, sure that she could handle the boy on her own without Sophie's help. After a confirming tap on her shoulder from Sophie, Nebula watched her pass down the hall to create the perfect distraction for her to find the room number and slip into the young boy's room unnoticed. Swiftly, her feet carried her past the rooms as her eyes grazed over each number. At last, Nebula arrived at 208. Looking both ways over her shoulder, the coast was deemed clear and Nebula slipped into the room.
208 was seemingly smaller than the other rooms, with a single bed sitting in the middle. A curtain was draped around the bed with an audible sound of distress coming from within. Placing herself in front of the curtain, Nebula raised her fingers to pinch the curtain as she took a peek inside. Sitting in the bed was Ken-Chin, their next subject with his face buried into his hands, muffling his weeping. Nebula entered unnoticed, until the closing of the curtain behind her made a noise against the rod above - grabbing Ken-Chin's attention.

Ken-Chin Hanagaki - tempplay by Ariel - Scared and alone, Ken-Chin was so upset but didn't want to cause much noise. His tear stain faced rested in his hands as he wept, missing his mother. The only hope he had to hold onto was that she was still alive, yet that hope was very slim as he had overheard the nurses talking amongst themselves about mass casualties. The only thing his body knew to do to release his overwhelming sense of stress was to try, only his eyes were running dry and now his throat was growing sore. The noise of the curtain made Ken-Chin jump, as he tore his gaze from his hand to see if a nurse had come back. Though, it wasn't a nurse or a doctor. In fact, he wasn't entirely sure what it was. Blue from head to toe, the being seemed to have large black eyes and appeared to be part metal - like a cyborg or gundam-like character he had seen in one of his manga books. "Are you an angel?" Ken-Chin asked the blue looking creature in awe. He made the assumption that this creature might not speak Japanese, and English was more universal. His mother had taught him English from an early age, in hopes that he would travel the world and gain life experiences later on. And now, he wasn't so sure what was going to happen.

"Are you an angel?"
The little boy stared up at her with surprise, and yet he did not seem afraid of her. Nebula was both relieved of this factor as well as he appeared to know some English. Wordlessly, Nebula moved away from the closed curtain and sat on the edge of Ken-Chin's bed as she looked downwards at him.
"I'm Nebula," She neither confirmed or denied his query, as now was not the time or place to discuss what exactly she was. That wasn't important, but getting the information Sophie needed was and time was of the essence, "And you're Ken-Chin. You were in the flood. Do you know why it happened or who might have caused it?" Nebula bluntly asked the boy who appeared to be visibly hurt but nothing too serious.

Ken-Chin Hanagaki - tempplay by Ariel - "I'm Nebula," "And you're Ken-Chin. You were in the flood. Do you know why it happened or who might have caused it?"Ken-Chin's eyes filled with sorrow as he peered downwards into the blanket that covered his lap before answering Nebula's questions, "I was shopping with my mom that day so I don't know exactly, but there were rumors amongst us locals of a young girl who was living in the forest near the dams. People would go up to try and find her, some that had been lucky to spot a glimpse of her had survived to tell the tale. Some didn't return. She had caused small, unusual problems before with the water system. Officials of the village tried to put out warnings, but no one would listen." Ken-Chin explained in as best English and full detail as he possibly could before looking back up at Nebula, "Have you seen my mom in the hospital? I lost her in the flood and...and...," Ken-Chin's face scrunched up as he began to grow emotional once more.

"I was shopping with my mom that day so I don't know exactly, but there were rumors amongst us locals of a young girl who was living in the forest near the dams.

I lost her in the flood and...and...,"
Nebula did not grow emotional when the young boy did, but she could sympathize with his feeling of being isolated and alone. She brought herself to her feet, as she figured that he had given her all the information necessary to track the inhuman down. Whoever this was, it was a young girl and she was still out there. Possibly still hiding by the dam that had exploded.
"No. But I'm going into the village, and I will keep an eye out for your mom if she's still out there," Nebula turned her back and reached her hand out towards the curtain, her gaze fixated to the side as her head turned down by her shoulder, "Hang in there, Ken-Chin." Nebula uttered one final word before making her exit through the curtains.
***Nebula exits***

Ken-Chin Hanagaki - tempplay by Ariel - "No. But I'm going into the village, and I will keep an eye out for your mom if she's still out there," "Hang in there, Ken-Chin."
Ken-Chin watched as Nebula swiftly exited as quickly as she had entered. Her words stuck with him as he leaned back in the hospital bed completely stunned by the whole encounter. Suddenly, a half grin formed on his face. Sitting on his bed still, he reached his hand towards the curtain to open it slightly to allow the view from the room's window to be seen. He stared out of the window in deep thought, "She said she was going to find my mom," Ken-Chin murmured to himself in wonder, "She really was an angel." ******
