But technology out of a sci-fi movie was something that she had a hard time swallowing. So she had set out to find some sort of proof that it wasn't real, that it was a hoax and something was going on. To do that, she had found a door that she could open and sneak into so that she might be able to find out something useful.
What she found had awed her, as it looked to be a chasm that went to darkness below.

"Even from such a fall?"
"Possibly, if we act fast. As you can see, we have our units on the scene."
Shampoo turned from the image of numerous androids converging on Nabiki's form and stared at the sales girl. "You make Sneaky Girl better?"
"Well, preliminary reports say that we can:
