[ The video shows Homura at a library terminal. Her ring is visibly on her finger as she runs her hands through her hair, purposefully displaying it in hopes of attracting the attention of fellow Puella Magi. Then she sets her hand down again. ]

My name is Homura A-- [ She stops, remembering Moemura is here. She doesn't want to shock her with that information. ] --- Homura... I would like to speak to anyone who may be experienced with or presently in possession of firearms. I am in need of assistance regarding the subject matter. I am also curious to know if anyone may assist me in obtaining certain chemicals and 'parts' that I need for 'something'. I thank you for your cooperation.

[ She bows her head and shifts her gaze to a small object she has set by the terminal. Her last remaining Grief Seed. ]

I am aware that someone here may have the ability to "purify" soiled objects. If you are such a person and at all willing, I would like to request a face to face conversation with you regarding a matter of concern for myself and a select few others. [ On the note of those others...

Homura tries not to let her expression falter, but it's difficult. She's very worried as she goes on, though successfully masks her concern. ]

Madoka-san, Sayaka-san, Kyoko-san. If you hear this, please respond. And if you would be so kind, allow me to see your soul gem. A lot has happened and we must keep them clean in order to be effective in this environment.

[KOS-MOS quickly enters in a command to begin a video transmission and looks over Homura silently for a moment.]

Wilhelm has informed me that you require assistance. What can I do to help you?

ah- KOS-MOS-san, is it?

Edited 2012-11-21 05:44 (UTC)

Affirmative.

[ She's... wow, she's pretty. When Wilhelm said she was going to talk to an android, Homura expected maybe a humanoid shape but not someone so... lifelike and gorgeous. Her expectations feel mean now. Just who made her? Homura wonders if she was made to shoot or look nice, which she knows is cruel. ]

It is good to meet you. I was told you were knowledgeable in regards to the use of firearms?

That is correct. As a Special Humanoid Weapon System, I am familiar with several different types of weaponry, including firearms.

I see... Firearms of what variety, if I may ask?

A handgun, my R-CANNON, a chaingun and my X-BUSTER ability.

[All of which she shows her, except her X-BUSTER. Her handgun and chaingun appear with a pale blue light, looking almost light programming symbols and when those vanished, her arm transformed into a cannon.]

My handgun is also capable of being used as a Phase Transfer Cannon. However, I currently lack a cartridge for that function and the results of firing it here would likely destroy the tower and it's current residents.

[ She is thrown for a momentary loop. First off because she had never heard of these things on the internet... but of course, KOS-MOS is obviously from a different world and time frame, so that does make sense. She nods to the shown handgun, recognizing it is the closet to her own weapons. ]

I see. Mm. That is a good concern to have. [ She quietly pulls her beretta into view. ] I have two handguns and one machine gun. Are you familiar with this model? I worry it may seem primitive to you.

That weapon is recorded in my historical files. It appears to be from the same time period as the guns that Gaignun Kukai Jr. appears to be fond of.

Interesting... do those files explain much about caring for them?

[There's a brief pause.]

They do, yes. I have several files regarding how to dismantle that specific type of handgun in order to clean or repair it as well as one that provides instructions on how to create ammunition.

Creating ammunition?

... May I ask for the specifics of these files?

Which file would you most like?
