[video] A formal greeting from the Sagittarius Branch!

[putonagoodshow]

Hello, everyone. It's good to see the network in use.

[Still wearing a labcoat and a white shirt was Ideo, bowing to the camera way more elegantly than he probably had to. It was set up so that none of the building behind him was discernible, but those who had been there would probably recognize the lighting as that from the Labs themselves. Which...meant Ideo was still there at 10:30 at night, okay.]

My name is Ideo Hazama- some of you met me during the incident in our Sagittarius labs. First, I would like to thank those who participated in helping us push back the Anoli. We could not have succeeded without your help.

[His smile wasn't long-lasting, of course.]

As for those I have not personally met, I am glad you are here, and it is good to meet you at large. Reiko and I work in the Research and Development labs, and focus specifically on technology in relation to demonkind. She is the expert in demon-related combat, however, so any specific queries about such should be directed to her. My main expertise is demon-related defense, as well as negotiation. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me any time- I am always available.

If for whatever reason you cannot get a hold of either of us, please direct all questions to our associates- [Here, he motioned his hands, and a foursome of fairies entered the frame.] Hua Po, Chou-keshin, Mid Pixie and Ceu.

[The fairies poofed out of frame after a few waves and blown kisses, all except Ceu, who remained stone-faced and serious looking. Ideo didn't seem to notice.] Thank you for your time, and welcome to Hinoto-Ri.

Hello. While I was not involved in the combat to retake your lab, I am glad to see you are running again. I don't suppose you have a data file that can be downloaded to give a primer on these demon's culture, do you?

Sadly, the file would be too massive to be of any use- but there are methods of properly handling demonic culture without in-depth knowledge...

[electricyousei]

I can synthesize a terabyte in about 5 minutes, I've spent my whole life going through large data files. However if it would be too hard on your systems I understand.

I would however appreciate any information. Humans culture is complicated enough, an alien race makes things even more complex.

[There's a long pause, before he apparently is able to respond.]

Sadly, I'm not sure our server right now is able to handle the transfer. I can at least express that demons are much the same as humans are, in base behavior- but they often require human emotions to "feed" off of. Some are kind enough to make requests or obtain this through official channels, but not all demons are so polite. That is the most important thing to be aware of.

[electricyousei]

Well, if you require assistance getting your systems up and online I would be glad to help. However, the concept of feeding off of emotions is.... Well, alien would probably be the best word.

[putonagoodshow]

To some degree, the demons are aware that most people arriving will not be used to the situation. Those that swindle humans are no different than a human thief in that sense. Awareness is the most important factor.

[electricyousei]

I see. How well do they deal with gravity weapons?

[putonagoodshow]

There are demons who can naturally be immune and utilize the forces of gravity themselves. Almost every attack type can be overcome by a certain family of demon. We don't have a completed list of which can avoid what, sadly- there are simply too many.

[electricyousei]

Hrm, is there a standard energy pattern they exhibit that I can set a distortion field to repel?
