Well, Advent, I'm starting on my last painting. I hope it is finished before you students kill me. It a shame really. I've been good to you all this time. I showed you the joy of boy/man love. And in the end, you stab me in the back. And not in a good way. But I guess you have learned from a great teacher and I should be proud to watch the student become the teacher. So I'll enjoy the radiant glow of the sky laser with my model. Bravo, Advent, Bravo.

Classification: (S)Top Secret

Project Summary
(S)In order to meet the goals laid out at the previous 10th year meeting, we have designed and produced multiple platforms to use with the Artemis Child.
(S)Our initial test platform was constructed on schedule and firings went as planned. Spoiler:
(S)Our issue with this unit was, to put things bluntly, not enough power.
(S)Our secondary test platform was designed from the ground up to provide as much power as possible. And once complete, the power of the fully operational station was tested. Spoiler:
(U)In retrospect, the decision to appoint Timothy Allen as the design leader for this test unit... was probably a mistake.
(S)The goal was certainly more power... but this exceeded even our initial calculations, and has been deemed to be, in laymen's terms, overkill. We've mothballed this station, and are looking to see if we can slightly decrease the output, and possibly could repurpose it to crushing asteroids in the outer system. Spoiler:
(S)(S)For information regarding the testing site and transportation to and from, you must be UltraViolet Clearance or higher.
(S)Our next design returned to a more minimal setting. Less power than the previous, more than the first, and our scientists added devices that allowed for some precision work thru various beam redirection principles. Spoiler:
(U)Yes, we also own Sony now. You should keep up with aquisitions more, brother.
(S)While we were pleased, and this was certainly the most successful platform to date, it was still lacking slightly in power, and more importantly, the ground based relay system provided a vulnerability we needed to remove.
(S)Our final design, we believe to meet all requirements. More than enough power, but not overkill. And no pesky ground based vulnerability that would remove its ability to remain operational. In short, a fully self-sustained weaponized platform that can independently deal with threats. Spoiler:
(S)While the final Artemis unit differs slightly in appearance, it matches feature for feature to our initial design goals. The Artemis unit has been launched recently, disguised as an anti-missle platform, and an appropriate press release has been distributed.
Current Total Capital Expenditure:
(S)6.983 *10^15 USD
(S)4.829 *10^8 Man Hours

Tonight I vote for Kime! Not out of any maliciousness, but rather I'd just like to know him better and I'm too shy to ask for myself. Do you like cake? I like cake too. Especially cheesecake.

Day 7: Maiden's Tears
11 Hime have been sacrificed, and the festival has come to an end.
There was no one left to search the school, but it didn't matter. Kime wanted to be found. "Behold the final act of the Ikusahime's dance!" he shouted to those few who remained, and laughed. "The gate to the land of Fuka is opening!"
Fumi pushed the wheelchair bound Mashiro up to the ruined office building where the Hime Shizuru had so painfully met her end. "Mashiro-sama... are you sure?" she said, bringing the wheelchair to a stop.
"Yes... it is time for this cursed fate to finally end." Mashiro replied, only to be interrupted by dark laughter.
"I'm afraid it's far too late for that, Crystal Princess." the Reito Kanzaki said, stepping out of the shadows. Mikoto Minagi followed behind him, her eyes vacant and unfeeling. "Soon the festival will end, and I wont let you change that." He beckoned Mikoto forward, but she hesitated. "Mikoto!" he ordered, and the pendant hanging from her neck began to glow.
"What should I do, God?" Sister Yukariko pratically begged, kneeling in the academy's empty church. "Everything that's happened.. so much suffering.. please! I can't take it anymore!"
Outside the church, the night sky began to glow with an unearthly light, and then a bolt like golden lightning descended, reducing the church to ash and debree.
