(A/N: I won't be writing Eden's first night yet. I will at some point just need to decide on how to do it. I also can't think of how to write it. SO I will upload it as a separate chapter in future with a notice for it, if you lot want to read it.)

"W-what?" Both Vill-V and Aurora were shocked.
(See Aura! I told you something was sus between them.) Alter snarled.
'Ugh. I know, But I didn't think it would be this.'
Everyone was having breakfast minus Himeko, who was on a mission with Hua, like normal until Thor, Elysia and Eden walked in.
Nothing seemed off at first, it wasn't until Thor sat down with Eden making herself comfortable on his lap.
At the time Elysia giggled while Thor smirked at the shocked faces, especially Vill's, the look of betrayal on her face confused Eden.
'What did I do?'
She didn't remember any agreement that she broke, heck she didn't remember making one with Vill.
Su ended up being the one to ask the question, leading to the current situation.
Elysia chimed in, "I thought it was obvious~ Did you really think Eden of all people would not want Thor?" She wiggled her eyebrows at Eden causing her cheeks to gain a pink hue.
Vill's confusion turned to resignation… 'WAIT. The footage!'
Blame her paranoia but Vill put cameras everywhere around the base, she wanted everywhere to be secure and that included rooms. She couldn't care about privacy.
Anyone who had any issues, Vill told them to piss off or deal with it.
She pulled out her tablet and looked through the camera files looking for Thor's room last night.
–Thud–
Everyone but Thor's gaze landed on Vill.
'Is she okay?' They thought. Why did she slam her head on the table?
Looking down at the screen two things infuriated her.
[File Not Found]
Understandable, Thor has access to the cams too, but…
[Skill Issue]
Pissed her off. Someone was taunting her.
Elysia was dumbfounded for once.
Thor noticed and leaned in to whisper to her the reason.
"Pfft–" Another giggle almost slipped but she held back, she did however take a deeper look at Vill.
Vill glared at her. Eden tried to help with a "I'm… Sorry." That did nothing but make Vill feel like an idiot.
In the end she gave up and went back to eating, while grumbling about this and that.
Aurora had already gone back to eating and talking after the initial shock. Alter seemed to have given her some ideas that raised her mood.
Kevin, Su and surprisingly Mei were living it up, they enjoyed the show before them, Kevin and Su snickered often, even Mei gave a laugh or two.
Towards the end of breakfast Vill was just about to leave and head to her workshop before Thor signalled to her.
"Yes?" She witnessed him summon something from thin air. He floated it over to her.
As she caught it she scanned it, 'A matrix? No… something more.'
"What is it?" She asked.
"A gift. It was given to me by some Greeks as a thank you. I had no use for it, but you might." Knowing Vill, Thor knew she'd find out its purpose with neural links, she might even be able to reproduce it.
"Ellie. Which season are we on now?" Though startled she thought for a second.
"Oh. Just to finish SEED and then we can watch Destiny. Why? Want to watch it tonight~?" She cooed, leaning on him.
"Depends. Can you keep your hands off me during it~?"
Thor then watched Vill leaving thinking, 'I hope you can make me a Gundam Vill. I know you can.'
He chuckled and went back to teasing Eden in his lap.

Mobius's Lab
"Dr Mobius, I suggest we wait for Thor before we proceed wi–"
"Just push the damn button Klein." She was beginning to get a little frustrated now.
Klein blinked, slowly. "Of course doctor."
Then pushed the button.
A scene similar to Thor's began, but something was different, a new element was added.
Just as the needles pierced her skin and started to inject the soulium, Thor appeared.
–Snap–
–Crackle–
He appeared next to Klein. She flinched from his sudden presence.
"Klein! Why did you go through with this?!"
In response she did nothing but blinked and pointed to Mobius. "She's my boss."
He directed his glare at Mobius.
She was smiling, even though she should be in unimaginable pain, she's smiling the whole time.
Thor analysed her body during the process. 'She's adapting well, no rejections from her cells.
She's even absorbing Honkai energy at a steady rate to supplement this. Her failed experiment before seemed to have given her better resistance huh.' He then glanced at the Honkai beast that she'll fuse with.
'The Wyvern? It is the only emperor class beast that didn't vanish other than… Wait, didn't Alter kill that one too…?' Throwing that thought aside, he'd make sure to test that theory some other time.
***
What followed could be described as disturbing, and that was putting it mildly.
What happened during that surgery to fuse the Honkai Genes with Mobius's Genes, at the same time she was integrating with soulium, had Himeko, who had just gotten back, to leave the moment she entered the lab.
Everyone from their group had shown up at some point, most left the moment the Honkai integration began, leaving just the science group.
Thor hadn't moved nor responded to anyone else the whole time, just watching the procedure with 100% concentration. He was most interested in how this integration with Honkai genes works.
–Beep–
{Operation Complete}
The moment the last needle withdrew from Mobius's body Thor's eyebrow raised a little.
'Shapeshifting?' The moment the procedure completed Thor saw a dark shadow appear behind Mobius. It looked serpentine, he would know better if Mobius can shapeshift into this in future.
"Huh…?" Mei, who decided to take a nap midway through the operation, stirred from the alarm.
Klein had just been drawing? Something in a notebook. Guess she got bored of waiting.
Su was still reviewing all the data on the operation, but stopped once the alarm went off.
As the liquid drained from the tube Klein was ready with her lab coat for when she exited the pod.
–Psssshh–
As the Pod door slid open Mobius was still trying to reorient herself so without thinking she casually took a step forward and caused the entire floor to–
–Thud–
Caved in. The room shook a little and Thor used telekinesis to float her in place, not destroying the place.
Once Klein had put the coat around her Mobius finally had enough control over her senses.
"Thor…?" She blinked rapidly for a few seconds.
"Is this what you see? It's…" She could see it all, everything, but what came with that was an understanding.
"You're a monster." She said with an amused grin.
"Oh. You can actually feel it?"
"Just a little, the power of your physical form alone is… beyond anything."
His lips curved upwards, "Don't put yourself down so much. For reference you beat Ellie in power and energy by magnitudes right now."
Mobius froze, not shocked, but thrilled.
"Hehehe..haha! HAHAHAHA! YES FINALLY." Her gleeful laugh gave Thor a small chuckle, but just as she twisted midair and immediately tried to sprint through the air, legs kicking like she was running across solid ground. Presumably to find Ellie and get back at her.
She didn't move an inch. Thor hadn't dropped her.
"Pfft– Keep trying, Moby, you'll get it eventually."
The image of Mobius frantically air running in place broke the tension. Even Su and Mei, still in the control room, laughed with him.
Mobius realising she hadn't moved paused, 'No. It's better to wait for now. I'll beat her during training. Yes, it's just training after all.'
Thor pulled a slab of soulium from the corner before placing Mobius on it. "Just stay on there until you can get your weight under control. You weigh tens of tons right now."
"Oh". She blinked. "Rude. Accurate… But rude."
She became focused and started investigating and studying her own body for now.
Meanwhile Su brought one of the soulium syringes and took some blood from Mobius, their hope was to find a smoother, less painful and gruesome way to do this.
Originally Kevin was meant to be the first to integrate with Honkai due to his absurd resistance and strong physique, but Mobius messed that up.
"Make do with what we have." Was Mei's response.

Moth Landing Pad
Meanwhile, the rest of the group was preparing to welcome the 3rd Director as Thor and Mei are busy with the Mobius situation.
Reluctantly Himeko let Elysia take the lead in this little welcoming. Vill was in her lab with Thor's gift to her, so she's out, Aurora was training. Eden? She has no idea what to do. Hua is pretty obvious and Kevin is an absolute NO. This left her and Elysia and–
"Aww~ Hime, I didn't know you trust me that much." Elysia pulled Himeko into a bear hug causing the womens face to turn the same colour as her hair.
"E-Ellie…Ca-can't. Breathe" After tapping out like it was a wrestling ring, Elysia let go, giving her the chance to breathe once more.
"Sorry~" Elysia giggled before giving Himeko another quick but gentler hug as she could sense the VTOL nearby.
–Vmmmm–
Seconds later the low hum of the VTOL could be felt by everyone at this point.
Kevin and Hua were happily eating some noodles oblivious to the world around them. All that mattered was the noodles. Delectable, incredible, flavourful… Noodles.
Eden was just laying down on the roof by the landing pad, she even had a sun chair and umbrella.
'At least someone is enjoying themselves.' Himeko thought.
–Vmmm–
The VTOL landed as the ramp began to lower.
