Aftermath of DESCENT

[Cheng was going over the whole mission log. Including the major fact of SKYSCRAPER OUT OF NOWHERE ON THE SHIP. How that happened... Cheng knew that Maya had something to do with it. As did whatever deal he made with her. But there was much that he still did not know.]

[Burning Revolution. The effect was...helpful. But it would be of no use if he had no idea how to use it. He needed to find Maya. He also needed to find out how Adventus even got close enough without being detected.]

[He had a lot of things to do. Delay him with questions?]

[Ryo dares. And he wants to at least get answers from Cheng about everything.]

I didn't know the Behemoth could do that.

It didn't have such a capability Ryo.

[Cheng rewound the log and played it again]

That girl you warned us about. I had formed a contract with her to ensure the Chalice's survival.

[Notes that any recordings from Cheng's own black box from the Behemoth had a "blank spot" in its recording]

That's what I thought.

[Ryo seems gravely serious but not necessarily angry at Cheng. After all, he remembers one particular discussion he had regarding this girl and her contracts.]

If you'd be willing to, please record everything that happens to use because of this contract. I hate to ask you to be a guinea pig for me, but you've made a deal with her. So long as your life's not in danger, we might as well see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

And for what it's worth...

If we find out this contract is harmless enough you may have just saved my life.

[Cheng nods stoically. Just another reason he really needs to learn more behind this contract. Pity that there's a good chance it would be in vain.]

I understand.
