Archive File 1

A taciturn messenger.

According to her own account, she's not hiding anything, just has nothing to say.

Though she gives off the impression being a loner, she is often seen with her fellow Penguin Logistics employees.

Archive File 2

While Texas may be quiet, her fighting style is anything but. It's best described as tempestuous.

At Rhodes Island, Operators without formal training are actually the majority, but when it comes to the use of weapons, most will follow established protocols. Texas, however, doesn't.

While she is a bit more reserved now, one can still see vestiges of an idea that she herself might not be aware of - her belief that the singular purpose of all weaponry is to kill.

Archive File 3

Her Lupo origin, her conspicuous fur color, her notable combat style, and of course, her name, all point to her ties with the faded Texas family, a once-famous clan whose name is now forgotten to most.

If that's the case, Texas's past is probably astonishing beyond imagination, as indicated by the Texas name itself.

On the one hand, even with Rhodes Island's intel network, very little is known about the family's fate. On the other hand, Texas never felt the need to elaborate on her past, so there isn't a pressing need to delve into it. After all, her past may one day catch up to her, just as she predicts.

Archive File 4

Although Texas never discusses her past, that's not the same as actively avoiding the topic. It's more like apathy.

From the way she has adapted to her current life, it's obvious she isn't running from anything. Routine work, bickering colleagues, Lungmen, and Rhodes Island are now everything to her.

We could sum it up like this:

When the past does catch up to her, she will face it with composure--unless it disrupts her present, then we'll witness the genuine rage inside her.

Promotion Record

Texas is a handful. Even when she lets you get close, she won't spare more than a few words. It took me a long time to figure out whether we were cool or not.

Sigh. Anyone trying to be her friend is in for a reckoning.

    Module record

    Lungmen Guard Department/Transcript:

    'Yes, Ah Sir, I remember clearly, it was a young Lupo lady, black hair and orange eyes, carrying a briefcase. Her name's Texas, you said? I've never heard it. I keep to myself, you know.'

    'What happened? Everything was normal, I was there at the counter spacing out. A little shop like ours doesn't do much business at three in the afternoon. Students are still in school, and the office types come by at noon to stretch their limbs for a bit before their bosses pull them back to work. I suppose officers like you on patrol mind our business now and again. Do you know Madame Oni? The tall, tall Inspector with a horn on her head? She and I, '

    'Black suits! Er, I was a little nervous, there must've been twenty in all. Us ordinary folks never see things like that. They were all rushing Miss Texas and that briefcase, and whatever they had in their hands, they were shiny and glinting! You see something like that for real, I dare say, and it makes those movies look like child's play! You know, Ah Sir, I'm a professional, I've seen every kung fu movie to ever come out in Lungmen, but the way Miss Texas squared up was completely different. She doesn't even seem that old. I don't dare imagine where she learned those insane moves, or how she got so trained.'

    'Right, the camera has me hiding under the counter, but I heard it all crystal clear! A dagger got sent flying and landed right next to me! Then a red-haired Sankta came in, I think probably to help Miss Texas, because I heard them say hi. She was called Exusiai? And then there was this whole massive rumble, that was something wild! I could feel my own liver shaking!'

    'Then it all died down, and I found the guts to come out from under the counter, and the black suits were all on the ground, and my shop was, ah, you don't have to worry about that, there were two big stars who came by later on. Miss Sora was one, and then the other was that rapping Liberi. They compensated me wonderfully, enough I could fix up my shop and open a cystybeast meatball stall.'

    'What about Texas? Er, she... she picked out some snacks after it went down and went to me to pay. It was the kind that's really popular with schoolkids, the biscuit sticks with the coating. She bought a whole handful of boxes. Chocolate, vanilla and the new salted one, and she bought a woven bag for a dollar too.'

    'What do you mean, I'm not telling you anything useful? You listen to me, that bag is designed by our shop! It's got cartoons on it!'

    'Alright, enough from me. Still, Ah Sir, there's one more thing, do you L.G.D. people know this Miss Texas? Tell her for me: the reward from her stamp card came in, a limited edition baseball cap, so if she can drop in when she's got the time...'

    Note by personnel on shift: Filed under Folder-Penguin Logistics 1097 (102), all charges on incident provisionally dropped.

New Year's blessing
Happy New Year. I was just about to give these to Exusiai. She said she'd be hosting a big party tonight, to celebrate her results not being rock bottom. The other girls? Croissant was hauling a huge batch of goods she got in earlier, so I figure she's got a stall laid out now. As for Sora... have you heard her new single, Doctor? I'm pretty into it.
Greeting
Morning.
Birthday
Here's a box of vinyls from the boss's collection. I got it from Lungmen. Take it, Doctor. No need to worry about my boss. Happy birthday.
Anniversary Celebration
I like how Rhodes Island does its anniversaries. Here's a couple wine truffles I just picked up, rum and bitter almond flavor. Tastes pretty good. Why don't you give them a try?
