There was knocks on the door again, as Asuna, Kirito, and Yui ate. They were used to irregular schedules. Midori wasn't. Kirito ruffled Yui's hair affectionately, taking a bite of the sandwhich Asuna had made, as Asuna yelled, "Come in! The door is unlocked!" In walked the remaining Sleeping Knights. All healthy. Asuna gasped and jumped up, hugging each of them. Asuna hadn't seen them in a while. They looked pretty much like they already had, except with more regular looking hair and more frail bodies. Siune, in the past two years had grown her hair to look like her ALO avatar.

"The transformation of Aincrad into reality, also made our health a reality. We're no longer terminally ill!"Jun announced. Tecchi grinned. Talken, Siune, and Nori smiled. Asuna's eyes lit with happinessand she answered, "That's great! I mean, I was expecting a report, but this is definitely better than that." "We heard something about Lady Lightning Flash Asuna returning and being commander, but we didn't really know until we met your friends, Agil, Sinon, and Silica that we really knew! We offered to take the last report so we could catch up with you for a little while,"Tecchi explained. Asuna nodded. "Yeah. But we won't get to do much of that, I'm afraid. I need to write and get in the reports soon,"Asuna mused. "So, what's in the report?"Kirito asked with a mouth full of food. Asuna slapped him on the back of his head.

Everyone was silent after the explanation of everything that happened. Everyone had suffered in one way or another from all of this. "Okay, what other subjects do we have to adress?"Asuna prompted. Yulier, in charge of relations with general citizens of the rest of the world, (meaning people's families and friends) reported, "Most people in the world that have nothing to do with people stuck here are opposing everything going on, and how we are treating it. Our biggest concern would be people inside Aincrad teaming up with those outside. We've already lost 24 people because they didn't get away fast enough from the bosses that escaped. If we keep at this rate, we will run out of players. Fast." Asuna nodded. "Okay, if anybody gets anymore on this, anything, they must report to me or Kirito, immediately!"

Next Schmitt reported on the current position of their forces, and where the units were placed, then Thinker, on the communications with the government and VR company that had owned ALO, where Aincrad had been, and last, Agil and Lisbeth on the merchants, blacksmiths, and suppliers that were supporting them. As Asuna was about to call an end to the meeting, Siune spoke up, "I think we should set up permanent healing arrangements so getting healed isn't a problem for anyone." Asuna nodded. "Okay. The Sleeping Knights are in charge of those efforts. I expect progress, or I will close down the project,"Asuna ordered, using the cold hard tone of a commander. Asuna didn't like speaking to her friends like that, but she needed to, or everyone would try to become her friend, to manipulate her. Inside, she was glad somebody finally suggested it.

As the gang walked out of the HQ, Kirito noticed Lisbeth and Klein obviously avoiding each either. He also noticed that Sinon had taken off her glasses, and was saying to Talken, "M-me? I-I was originally the third champion from B-battle of the Bullets, from Gun Gale Online. K-kirito saved m-me. I-I'm an archer. R-really long distance." "W-wow. Third?"Talken replied, obviously impressed, as Sinon blushed. Kirito slipped in next to Asuna, and grabbed her hand gently, as she continued talking with Siune.

If I continued, it would take forever to tell you what every single person who'd been at the meeting who was a friend of Asuna or Kirito did, so I'm stopping it here.
