Somewhere in Babylonia

We see Raiden sitting on the office...He was earlier summoned by Hassen to take a look at something...Raiden took that same file and headed to his office...Once he opened it

A picture was attached...the report says that there was a foreign energy that were not aware of...it had not been identified...The picture shows that a corrupted with a blue light on its eyes but what the extremely caught Raiden's attention was the fact this corrupted had some type of flesh attached to its torso

Raiden : "...How interesting...Both Ati and Amb found something similar to this..."

Raiden continued too look at it...it was very interesting...The corrupted are evolving which is concerning and puts everything at risk and making it more dangerous

Raiden : "Flesh...What are the corrupted evolving into...or is this even a corrupted at all?"

Artic Union

Rosetta can be seen dragging the Remains of a Bionic Bear which was more powerful than the others she witnessed and fought...It was strange as she gazed at it...It had a more tough exterior and jagged claws

Diana : "...This is bad news"

Rosetta : "...Indeed it is"

Rosetta says looking down...feeling that this was an omen to something that will eventually burst forth

Rosetta : "Forest Guards! Ready yourselves for the coming future! As protector of our Home we must face this coming challenge head on!"

Rosetta announced towards her fellow Forest Guards...She then clutched a necklace that was hanging around her neck before looking to the skies

Rosetta : "You also may have seen this...Be careful...Rai-Rai"

Back in Babylonia

Liv : "Commandant?"

Liv spoke out while knocking on the door...Raiden was pulled out his thinking towards Liv before coughing and fixing himself

Raiden : "Yes?"

Liv : "A letter"

Liv said while holding a letter...something you don't normally see with all this technology around

Raiden : "Oh?"

Liv walked in and handed over the letter...Raiden gently grabbed it and nodded at Liv...who then just nodded back before walking out to go do some other stuff

Raiden looked at the letter and gently carassed it flipping it over to see a hand drawn flower...Raiden sighs before putting the files to the side and opening the letter

Raiden : "...She really is something"

Raiden said as he was looking at the letter

Raiden : "I guess I can...I'll attend"

Raiden said with a small smile on his face...he could see the tiny Iris handwriting on the very bottom already giving away the identity of the sender
