A Scientific Treatment on Structure and
Workings of Athena's
Saints
And So It Begins! The Task
© 1999 by Shavana and Stayka
Doctor Shizukawa Himiko sighed. It seemed she always got the worst jobs
at the Research Labs of the Graude Foundation. Okay, she was new in the
department, but couldn't they find someone else for this task?
Professor Asamori Hakase - the guy who had constructed the
mechanical Cloths of the three Steel Saints - had decided it might be a
nice thing to start a thorough examination of the real Saint Cloths, and
of course it was an ultra secret assignment (What else?). She had the
suspicion that it was a pet project of her boss, and it wasn't fully
sanctioned by the big heads of the Graude Foundation to boot.
But then, as long as she got paid for it properly, she would go
along with it. Unfortunately, the information she had gotten in advance
was pretty scarce.
"Be creative!" were the Professor's encouraging words,
when he introduced her to her two colleagues Terada Makoto, a
red-haired, tall young medical doctor and psychologist who had just left
the university, and Honda Akira, a big game hunter who gave up Saint
training in Greece after some defeats too many (although he managed to
come back alive which was a wonder in itself).
"I hate him for giving me such stupid jobs," Himiko
grumbled and tugged at her blonde ponytail.
"I agree," Makoto nodded.
"Ah well, with my anaesthetic rifle they're prey like any
other," Akira said.
"I wouldn't be that sure," Himiko said darkly. "But
unfortunately it's our job and we have to do it. Where do we
start?" She distributed the photographs of their targets on the
table and looked at them properly for the first time. Some of the
prints were of pretty bad quality, but they would have to do until they
got better pics to add to the files.
Makoto frowned and ordered the armoured persons in her mind
according to their probable danger level.
"I must admit I'd like to examine this guy! Even on
this bad pic he looks absolutely cute!" Himiko pointed at a grainy,
heavily magnified photo of a man with long, dark blue hair in golden
armour.
"Cute isn't the issue," Makoto chided.
"We're doing scientific research, if you have forgotten
already." Discreetly, she let the photos of the ugly looking guys
disappear nonetheless.
"Cute or uncute don't matter to me," Akira shrugged.
"I'll shoot everything."
"Oh no! I don't want him to be shot! - Hm... On the
other hand, if he can't move he won't be able to resist," Himiko
said thoughtfully.
"I prefer they don't have any chance to put up resistance, then
it's less dangerous for us to examine them." Makoto tugged a
handkerchief from her labcoat and began to clean her thick glasses. Now
one could see that she had green eyes, albeit very near-sighted ones.
"Probably." Himiko sighed and adored another example of
cuteness, this time in blond. "Okay, you say where we
begin."
"With someone who isn't so dangerous..."
"Why don't we start with one of the chicks?" Akira pointed
at a blonde girl with spiky shoulder pieces.
"Naa, she looks dangerous, too. Look at the nasty whip!"
"Exactly. Let's take something smaller." Makoto rummaged
through the photos.
"Let's get this cute green-haired chick first", Akira said
and picked up the photo of a petite Saint in pink armour.
"Okay," Makoto nodded.
"If you insist - But I want this guy next!"
Himiko pointed at a blond guy with a rubberduck on the headpiece of his
armour.
"Yes, yes..." Makoto pinned the remaining photos to the
wall of their headquarters at the Graude Foundation Research Lab.
