"Yuii-chan…?" The woman muttered at the sound of an odd nickname from the lone girl of the three. She felt that she may want to question it but she really did not feel the proper motivation to question the quirks of any of the two who were currently speaking in such upbeat manners. She put a finger to the end of her hair and started twirling it around.
Luckily for Yuiitsu, the saving grace came from the one who seemed to be the no-nonsense kind of guy. "Well, I guess we can use your question as a jumping point to go straight to the main portion of the debriefing. I'll start with a brief introduction to who the Kihara are. While Makoto is one of those rare people who seem to have delved deep enough to have a basic knowledge of our existence, most people don't. So, I'll start from the beginning. I hope all of you are listening because I'm not going to waste time repeating all of this.
"To most who have heard of or interacted with us, the Kihara Family is a group of scientists with a passion for science and with little, if any, concern for ethics. On the surface, that is what we are. But, at our core, we are the byproduct of mankind's reliance on scientific development. So long as mankind continues to rely on scientific development, we will continue to exist. Even if the current bloodline is destroyed, the essence of the family will merely respawn in a different bloodline. As a result of this, we tend to go where our research specialties can progress the most and Academy City's virtual monopoly on scientific development leads to all of the Kiharas being contained within the walls of the city.
"Now, here is the problem. Academy City is now waging war with Russia and due to the nature of Russia's declaration of war, there has been a ripple in the conscious of the world. Will Academy City's superiority and monopoly remain or will it crumble? That ripple has gone deep into even the darker sides of the city and reached the Kihara Family. As such, these four Kiharas are attempting to leave Academy City as there is a possibility of their research being optimized outside of the city. Of course, the higher ups don't want certain research to leak outside of the city so we have decided it would be better to cut our losses. In the end, the bond between Kiharas is nothing more than a burning curiosity to discover the unknown. At least, that's how sensei would put it." With that, she stopped twirling her hair and then looked to the faces on the screen.
"Do you have any more questions before we run to the final part of the debriefing? Or, if all is clear, I will give you a brief description of the targets and the reason why I had you put under chloroform and brought to separate unmonitored locations."
