Chapter Three (B): Eric & Alice

[Akirapryde]

Major Tetsuhara led Erik and Alice towards the bridge. He opened that hatch, "Kimiko is missing" he announced in English as he walked on to the Bridge. The announcement was clearly for Erik and Alice's benefit. After directing Erik and Alice to a place on the bridge, the Major spoke to Sho Sho Tetsuhara in Japanese. On a side station, the Major and Sho Sho were able to quickly locate Thorchan who was still in the lounge with other members of the crew. However there was no sign on Jake or Kimiko.

Shortly after another conversation in Japanese Sho Sho Tetsuhara walked up to Erik and Alice, "My father doesn't seem to think that you are involved in Kimiko's disappearance," she said in English. "I need to if you can help us locate the last member of your people."
