"...I wouldn't say completely helpless," Akane shrugged as he lowered her legs to the floor. "She did rip out the microphone of her phone without damaging any other parts. Plus at the end of the day, no matter how advanced me or Wolf are- she's an artificial intelligence researcher. She just needs the tools..."

And with that, what Hamuko said was the cherry on top.

"Exactly."

An EMMA and Maruki hybrid...the mere thought of it...

She taps her foot against the floor. "Think I should mention Maruki in the warning post as well? Or would that just make this situation more- us against the world kind of mentality?"

"Hmm... I think leave it vague. Maybe answer if anyone asks privately."

Tampered with her phone to not be traced and recorded... and proficient with technology. Hmm.

...The video recordings of the SEES members that Ikutsuki was undoubtedly watching came to mind. Made her skin crawl, a little.

...

"She's gotten the warning, I think at the very least we should stay alert and give them a chance to prove us wrong."

That makes sense. She doesn't want to rally someone who can apparently manipulate time along with someone proficient enough to hack into her against her at the end of the day. Besides retracting away to a safe spot, what else will she be able to do?

"You’re right," Akane nods. "I just figured I should think through all the scenarios before I go about making a public announcement. It needs to serve its purpose and make our intentions clear from the get go so we can safely deploy the antidote against the EMMA of our world."

And there it was, the more artificial side to her. Always quick to sort out its purpose.
