Mikhail "Michael" Blanc had just finished wrapping up his homework he needed to submit to his class in Mihoshi Academy tomorrow, which consisted of a two-page report for his aeronautics program on his reflection after he and his classmates watched a two-hour documentary talking about the future of Variable Fighters in military service. The documentary had specifically talked about whether other aerospace manufacturers can have a chance in competing with General Galaxy and Shinsei Industries, two major aerospace corporations currently responsible for making VFs for the New United Nations Spacy.

"At least I read about the documentary that I didn't have to type a lot of text to cheat my way through as BS." Mikhail sighed as he sat down in front of his desk when he booted his personal computer.

He needed to do one more thing before he turned in for the night.

Logging in on a web-based messenger program, the blond-haired teenager reclined back on his seat while he typed his username as "DaGreatestMan" and his password. Mikhail also made sure to uncheck the box icon that asked if he wanted for retain his info when he wants to log in again in the future.

I don't want to get caught with that in case some things go south from here.

Satisfied, Mikhail read the message that he typed after he entered it on his messenger.

Mikhail waited to see if the person, known by his messenger name "TruthSeeker", was online despite having a green circle icon next to the name. He was told by a classmate that he's the best person to ask for any rumors or gossip that you want to confirm or deny, whether it's on Frontier, Earth or in some other place and that any info he person gives is absolutely correct, no matter how big or small. Mikhail spoke to him online a few days and they hit it off, mostly talking about rumors on whether Sheyl Nome would make her last stop at Frontier, despite local and overseas media suggestions that it was not announced.

The person had confirmed through reliable sources that it was true and that he should expect it to be in the papers or in the net a few days before the 26th. So far, the response was proven true. Now Mikhail wanted to see if he can ask him on something else.

The next reply came in a few minutes after he initiated the conversation.
From there on, Mikhail and TruthSeeker began to talk with each other.

TruthSeeker: Ah... BTW, did you see the documentary released on Channel 4 about unsolved cases from within NUNS? Had to do a one-page report on it before the week ends.

The SMS pilot sighed when he read TS' reply. He caught a glimpse of the said documentary when some of his senior SMS colleagues watched it in the cafeteria when the program talked about some cold cases that the NUNS' Military Police Command were still trying to solve. Among them included the death of his older sister, Jessica. The MPC said that although they can't find any concrete evidence that she killed herself, there was enough indirect evidence to suggest that she did it due to an affair with a senior NUNS officer after she supposedly shot him under friendly fire.

Didn't know that TS is in school like me and Luca... Maybe, I'm not sure.

Mikhail tried his luck to see if he can something going on with his reply.

DaGreatestMan: I know. That's been bothering me again and again. You mind if I can ask you about the Blanc case?

Another few minutes elapsed and he got another reply.

TS' new reply made Mikhail a bit frustrated and upset. He knew that while he was told by immediate family and close friends of Jessica that she killed himself, he was not very sure that it may have to do with her affair. Mikhail didn't get why she would have an affair in the first place.

This was when Mikhail sat back and read the new reply that came in. Should he reveal his actual surname to him or not? This was his biggest question.

Mikhail sighed again. He decided to forego telling his real name to be safe.

DaGreatestMan: No. I know her brother who wants some answers if whether her death is really a case of suicide or whether someone else manipulated evidence to make it look like that.

A few minutes after the last reply, the sniper felt that his bluff may not have worked. Although he decided to wait and see what would happen next.

Then came in a favorable response.
Mikhail nodded in relief. Looks like this was going to get somewhere. All he needed to do was to end the conversation and head to sleep for now. He had to go to Mihoshi Academy again in the morning.

Least that problem is resolved.
