Today was a curious day.
Munin stared forward at the doors that blocked off the Captain’s office from the public, awaiting a presence to arrive. The figure known as “Hazuki”, the current Lieutenant of the Fourth despite a Reiatsu that dwarfed many others, and a recent victory over the Third Division’s Captain. Despite those factors, Hazuki had refused to take up a haori. Such events indicated a few things, most notably that Hazuki must feel that a Captain’s position was too much for her at the time being. Reports of the duel did indicate that Hazuki did not possess a Bankai (at least one that had been shown) and might have felt inadequate because of that. It was also possible that Hazuki recognized that she would not fit in the Third Division’s structure, despite her power. More possibilities spun out, all speculation on Hazuki’s motivations and what had prompted the Shinigami to both issue a challenge and yet reject the position she had won in what was also said to be a brutal duel. (Though Shinigami were relatively easy to fix.) Hazuki also likely enjoyed the psychological aspect, lending credence to the thoughts that she had issued the challenge to force Miyuki to confront her relative weakness and unfamiliarity with the realities of what it meant to be a Captain in this state of eternal war.
So then, why had Munin received a letter from Hazuki? The letter was with Munin, but Munin shouldn’t require it any more. It was committed to the memory of this Munin, but nothing would stop Kionchi from continuing on.
The letter had been short, merely requesting Munin’s presence at the doors of the Captain’s office at 11:00 am. But suspicions already abounded as to the nature of this meeting. Perhaps Kionchi’s recent transfer to the Third Division required an evaluation of Munin’s state, ensuring that the robot would not breach security on behalf of its master. Perhaps they wanted to gain information on Kionchi’s transfer, the true reasons for it. In that case, the easiest answer was that Munin had no information (which was true, Munin did not currently have information on why Kionchi transferred.) Perhaps, least likely of all, they were considering moving Munin to a position where it was better suited. Of course, that was a silly idea. The android was unlikely to be given any authority, despite its talents. Having a potential vulnerability would be… unfortunate to say the least. Though, there was a question of how much data they really had on Munin’s function. Would they really know what Munin really was? Did that matter to them? (Yes)
A potent spiritual pressure crept through the world, and Munin turned attentively towards her. “Greetings Lieutenant Hazuki.” Munin bowed deeply in respect for its commander, eyes attentive as it rose back up to watch the Lieutenant and gain insight into just what was going on.
