“… a Shinjin. Gods…?” Bosmika was sitting at her desk, beginning to think about what Eae said to her. Whenever the two first met, he appeared as an arcosian. Obviously she thought nothing of it at first, believing that he was like any other arcosian you would meet in the Fleet. But then he told her what he truly was, a Shinjin. A God. He was basically a divine being! She was skeptical at first, immediately believing that he was insane… until he shown her what kind of power he had. Not only that, but he even explained who he and Frigit was, even if it was vague, she thought of it as… amazing. Usually she didn’t believe in divine beings or anything of the sort, being a stronger believer in science. She still had her doubts however, and she was unsure on why…
Currently Bosmika was sitting at her lab where the trio first met, fiddling her thumbs as she pondered over the idea. “Why would a divine being come to me of all things, especially to help lead the World Trade Fleet? What is his… goals? And why does an arcosian follow him around? Is the arcosian a divine entity as well?” She questioned, a short growl escaping her. “Or is this some kind of sick joke? What if a Shinjin was just a shapeshifting species of sorts? Wait, what if… what if the word ‘Shinjin’ was just made up, and he was just… no, no.” Bosmika sighed quietly as she placed her hands upon her face, but soon enough she would remember something. He spoke of placing balance among the WTF. Does he plan to provide balance among the universe instead, since he was, again, a divine being of sorts? What does he want, and why does he want to do all this…?
“EAE. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU IN PRIVATE! IT'S VERY URGENT THAT YOU COME HERE.” She would go and shout to the top of her lungs, expecting the shinjin to just appear out of nowhere. If he was a God, then surely he could hear her, right..? She would sit there on a chair as she waited, looking around at the room…

Both Eae and Frigit had shown up a second time now to visit Bosmika, but this time instead of making a scene outside trying to get her attention, they knew the way to get in. It might have been less than subtle, but Eae was in a hurry and they couldn't wait to be spotted in broad daylight. Eae motioned towards the large boulder entrance they were let into the last time they were here, and the Arcosian simply dig his fingers in and pulled the door aside, forcing it open. Eae sprinted in as Frigit looked around as if they were being followed, ducking inside and pulling the door shut once more. Either Bosmika had been asleep or paying no attention at that moment, as there was no voice of her over a PA and no sort of alarms were going off strangely.
As Eae made his way towards her lab, he could have sworn he heard something, but Frigit speaking to him mentally mentioned he could hear what sounded like Bosmika talking to herself or someone else. In a strange coincidence, as both men heard her yelling out, Eae was standing behind her door, stopping short of knocking. Maybe she had seen them entering after all. Knocking heavily at her door, Eae opened it slowly and stepped in with Frigit right behind her. "Why are you yelling?" Raising his brow to her, Frigit shutting the door behind them.

Silence. Just pure, utter silence.
With a disappointed sigh, she would just lay her head down on the desk, not paying attention to the camera feed once she did this. She would remain unaware of the fact that both Eae and Frigit had just broken into her lab… “I’m going crazy. To think that either of them would be ‘divine beings’… Ugh, I should use my vacation days sometime this month. I have about a year or two worth… maybe I could visit Earth.” She thought about what was on that planet, thinking about the vast oceans, the green forests, the great food… That didn’t sound half bad actually, considering how much she’s been working as of late.
As she filled her mind with kind and nice thoughts, she would yell out once hearing someone knocking at her door. “GAH, SPIES! YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALI-“ Bosmika managed to draw her ray gun, soon pointing it towards the door’s general direction. She blinked a few times, pushing the goggles she had on her face up to her forehead. A relieved sigh escaped the woman before placing her gun on the desk, sitting back in her chair.
But then she would realize something. She called out to him and… he appeared. The jukani’s eyes widened and before you know it, she was now standing in front of Eae! Bosmika looked up at him, clearing her throat before asking, “Is it true that you are a… ‘God’? I remember you saying that you were a ‘shinjin’, and how they were… sort of like Gods? You must explain who you are to me immediately! I must know EVERYTHING before I go insane!” If it wasn't obvious enough, she wasn't exactly right in the head at the moment. "In exchange, I'll tell you about myself... though I prefer to keep it between us! So Frigit, if you please..."

The first utterance from Bosmika caught him off guard to an extent he wasn't expecting, and even Frigit wasn't sure how to respond to such a blunt and sudden question. "That questions isn't as simple as as answering yes to, I'm afraid. If you are asking if I am an immortal divine being, then yes. I've watched over this part of our universe for many centuries, long before the family of you or my student here were even thought into existence." He simply paused realizing how serious these questions were she was asking, and he was less caught off guard by all of this and more intrigued by her curiosity. She was far from the first to ask such questions, but one of the few he was willing to give such honest answers to. "Well, I'll tell you what I can to the best of what I believe you can understand. Frigit, it's okay, just head out and keep an eye on that door, please." The Arcosian gave a heavy sigh, "Fine." Shaking his head softly, Frigit left looking somewhat annoyed, but didn't say anything else, and his heavy footsteps could be heard walking away from the door. "You'll have to forgive, my student. He has been a follower of my beliefs for going on 50 years now, and he isn't the young patient Arcosian he used to be. He might not look it, but he is getting up there in years even for someone of his species." Shrugging a bit, he looked for a seat, but not for longer than a moment, then simply resigned himself to floating slightly off the ground, wanting to rest his feet from all the walking. "I am what I told you, a Shinjin as the mortal call us. I was born in another plane of existence that is hard to fully explain to a mortal, but rarely do we come to this plain of existence and interact directly. There aren't many of us, so when one of us come over, we rarely let ourselves be known, so when I tell you it wasn't a small thing that I contacted you, I wasn't exaggerating." He could see the look on her face as if she was about to hyperventilate, and floated closer, putting a hand on her forehead as his palm began to glow. He attempted to ease her mind in a direct way, trying to heal her body of the tension and anxiety flowing through her, before moving away again and continuing. "I have always taken the side of those that are need my help, and in the past I have taken the side of those most willing to ask for it, but I have always sought to bring balance to whatever situation I chose to intervene in, directly or otherwise. In this trying times however, I am feeling more motivated than ever to show the masses of this mortal realm the way of true balance, even if that means getting my hands dirty to do so. There will always be conflict, of this I have no doubt, but something has to be done before the balance is shifted in a way that will take desperate measures to fix." Closing his eyes, he began to glow a barely visible green hue, still floating inches off the ground. "I need to show you something, because I need you to see and understand who and what I am." His form started to shimmer as if he were nearly see through for a moment, as the Arcosian shape faded, and his body looked to even shrink in size, revealing his true form. Pale green skin, a white mohawk atop his head, what looked like ceremonial robes almost and most likely unlike anything Bosmika would have seen in her lifetime. His eyes opened, revealing the red piercing color of both that now stared at Bosmika, waiting for her reaction. Frigit 40k PL
Eae 99 PL
Just in case it is needed.

Okay, so he WAS an immortal divine being. She gave him a quick nod, seeming to not be phased after hearing this. If anything, a large smile would form across her face. “So you ARE an immortal divine being that’s been watching over our universe for centuries! You see, I’ve been thinking on what you said with the whole divine being thing and I was sorta skeptical at first… but now I’m beginning to think that…” She stopped herself once she noticed Frigit still standing there, sighing in relief as Eae went ahead and told him to go outside. The jukani watched as the arcosian walked outside, looking back at the disguised shinjin as he apologized. “Yes, yes. It’s common for arcosians to act such a way, so no hard feelings! Now let us continue our discussion… because I have much that I need to hear!”
The woman’s eyes widened once she saw him beginning to levitate, but she wouldn’t really mention it, instead staring at him as he explained who he was. Another plane of existence? Rarely visit this plane? Not as many of them? She blinked after hearing him basically say that she was important. Why was she important of all people? “W-Why go to me? Yes, I get I’m intelligent, but… a lowly scientist such as myself talking to a divine being? That doesn’t… how…” Bosmika began to pant as more thoughts filled her hand, and as she did this, she wouldn’t notice Eae going ahead and placing a hand on her head. The alien would feel a sudden wave of relief, a soft sigh escaping her as she relaxed. “I-I… sorry.”
Eae would begin to speak after managing to calm her down, Mika remaining quiet as she listened. What he said surely amazed her, at least by a little bit. She was still a little confused on why he would do these sorts of things, even questioning whether or not he should be trusted. But for some reason, she trusted this shinjin; this divine being; this God. Was she… finally going insane? She blinked as she noticed a green light beginning to form around him, also hearing that he wanted to show her something. Was he going to reveal his true form..?
Bosmika covered her eyes as he transformed, not wanting to accidentally damage her eyes just in case flashing lights were involved. She waited for a good 30 seconds before uncovering her eyes, her mouth becoming agape at what was in front of her. “So this is… a shinjin?” The alien asked quietly before approaching him, going ahead and… giving his robe a sort of tug. “You look amazing…” And surprisingly good-looking too. He had nice skin, a cool hairdo… and those eyes.
They were red, just like hers... "I wonder what your insides look like..." Bosmika would say jokingly, looking up at the shinjin with a short smirk. "I'm kidding, but... you do look nice. It makes me feel as if I should've worn something better..." The alien would then clear her throat, "Now that you told me who you are... you don't mind if I tell you who I am as well? It's only fair..."

Eae couldn't quite tell if the woman in front of him was pleased, confused, or simply a combination of the two. The way she near stumbled over herself verbally at times was amusing, but it never failed to peak his interest how these mortals acted, regardless of the amount of times he had seen it. She was so curious about everything in the moment, and so many questions. "It's all a matter of balance. So many times I see questions of why, but everything has a balance and the balance must be kept. Wars rage, peace settles, and it inevitably starts again. Right now the balance is off, and you are someone who can help set that balance right even if you don't see it right now. Don't think of it as me choosing you, as the scales of the universe putting you on a path to fix the balance."
It was understandably a lot to take in for someone with such a short lifespan, but everyone had a part to play and not everyone always knew how. "I understand the need to act for yourself, for your self interest. It's just the nature of mortality to want to make the most of your existence and further your own causes, but there are times when the universe has other plans. There is a bigger picture that few see, and perhaps it's time to open the universe's eyes by force." There was a look of conviction on Eae's face as he took a step, his feet once again touching the ground as he began to pace.
He quickly stopped as she approached and went to tug at his clothes, giving her a highly raised brow with a quiet set of blinks. Looking down at her comment, he quickly looked back up and gave a smile, trying to be more polite than dismissive. "Thank you. This is traditional garb of the Kais." His head tilted a bit at her comment, assuming she was joking, but taken a back a bit given her predilection of humanoid testing. "I wouldn't worry too much about your garb at the moment. I wear this because it is comfortable and easy to move in despite the appearance. I'm sure other races have similar outfits." He gave a nod and gave her a motion as if to continue. "Go right ahead."
