Ghislain had been away on some quest to seek out a device with a Quincy. To give them a new tool aside from the Bankai Medallions. They weren't as functional as before these days and had been trouble. He'd never officially left his duty as he'd taken a leave. Somewhat doubt seemed to plague his mind when it came to Vanguard. But now he realized some important things as he walked forward. He could go further into Ginto like some people would have done. But he was an Emperor so that made him a little different. Ghislain didn't perform a bombastic return blasting doors off hinges. His body radiates a certain power that few had felt before. Quincy didn't feel like Shinigami or anything even close in this regard. He wasn't the only potent Quincy as he pushed hair from his eyes. The journey, in essence, had a couple of redeeming points. He abandoned a lot of things people thought he would continue towards. Ghislain focused on his energy production more and what he could do. Furthering Dark Matter based prowess to untold levels when it came down to it. Ghislain's cerulean orbs studied the place as he walked past people. Some of them were well aware of who he was previously. The First Sword of the Boros Guard. The man who stood at the doors of Karakura forbidding entrance. Not allowing the scum to cause trouble and affect the populace with their dirty deeds. Preventing intruders and such things had become his duty during that period. Though he took leave in order to help his people one last time. Ghislain was a Quincy who had a past beyond what one could imagine. His time went back to the days when Quincy fought Shinigami. He had been present during the bloodiest of battles and survived Radioactive himself. But that wasn't why he returned here or anything to do with it. Ghislain was loyal to the ideals set here and realized it on his trip. Repenting for Yhwach's crime didn't just mean Shinigami and Huldric. It meant he needed to continue and fight here despite whatever it meant in the long run.

Sporting his regular outfit of a white cloak though keeping the hood down. Sort of a blue suit with a couple strands of red along the sides. A crimson tie is worn with a white shirt underneath it. He seems to wear a cross between Japanese and English attire most of the time. But Ghislain seemed to be lingering towards the next portion of things. Going further from the style of the Japanese and focusing on a Europian style. Ghislain's features were strong and held a power to them. He'd walked away from many battlefields and he wore the air around him. Almost like wearing a coat of hell on his body itself. As he advanced towards the room he had intended. Ghislain didn't know where Vanguard would place him as of yet. His return indicated that someplace was sure to be it. He was heading for the science lab now. Moving towards it with motion and plan in place as it stood. Ghislain's body seem's to give off some bits of dark matter occasionally. He stopped before proceeding to stop the matter flowing freely.

Ghislain's body seemed to exude a mist till he prevented it's continuing. This was the place he intended to research something important. Though if someone was there it was fine with him. Either way, it meant little to him as his powers seemed to be focused. Ghislain's mind and attitude had changed during his trip abroad. The Pacifist who didn't want to fight in any battle. Decided to finally prepare himself further for whatever may come. But now he found a purpose and a meaning to it all. Baskerville, his goal, and ambition of starting a family did linger in his thoughts. Elizabeth hadn't lived to see this determination. Sadness didn't linger nor did regrets about the past. It was where it was meant to be and he didn't care about that. He didn't open the door as much as he phased through it. Ghislain's body turned into particles for a moment before reassembling. Cracking his neck he went over to an unoccupied desk and sat down. Beginning to write notes on things he figured out.

Noting that demonic energy didn't only retreat often from Quincy energy. The devices storing that sort of potent power effected them. Leading him to believe that a Quincy based barrier would be useful later. To prevent demonic and possibly hollow entry. Quincy's powers were of purification no matter how dark he looked. Writing down notes on the tablet he remained silent paying little mind to the shock he may have caused. Ginto based equipment that a Quincy could pour some energy into. The devices themselves weren't difficult to make in the long run. But making something on a larger scale to seal actions. That would be the difficult part as you'd be making an area. That is rather potent against Demonic or hollow based enemies. But Ghislain also had to marvel at the science of energy in a way. This wasn't easy to do as he'd been manipulating demonic based energy for a while. Testing it to see how it reacted against his own and many other energy sources.

He knew his previous rank within the Vanguard had likely been occupied or taken over. The next thing was to note how beneficial this zone could be in theory as setting up a healing zone was possible. Ghislain didn't know for sure but he suspected the applications could be spread to helping recover from injuries. Concentration would be the main issue though he'd come here for another reason. As though just dawning on him he glanced back now as his cerulean eye looked over those around him. The place was emptying out slowly as though they'd been instructed to leave him be or something. Ghislain didn't know why they left the area with such a rapid effect. He wasn't an enemy and that was a very clear thing as he looked from place to place. Taking in each face before they left the area as he turned around a bit in his chair. To face whoever remained in the room his features looking over the remaining person. Were they the one who ordered the mass exodus from this location?

It would be an interesting meeting that much was for certain.

Was it night time already? It was difficult to tell when all she had to go by was her own internal clock and mental images produced by a form of advanced situational awareness. Most of the lab attendants had already left for the day, their work completed. As usual it was Angel who stayed far longer than the rest. In fact, some thought she pretty much lived there. While it was true the Doll needed almost no sleep or sustenance if at all, she simply loved her job and all the difficulties and successes it presented. At different corners of the lab there were completed and half finished droids. Some were ready for combat, and some weren’t. Some were specialized in offensive maneuvers, and some were among the best in their respective defensive capabilities. And then there were some created after the energy and biological samples donated by Radioactive, whose power were a testament to the technological prowess of the Vanguard. In the end, though she was proud of her team’s accomplishment, she was never satisfied. There was always something new to improve and update.

”Yes, what can I d-oh,” said Angel making a momentary pause, ”Ghislain, right? Nice to meet your acquaintance.”

The man was in almost every way a stranger to her. She had never met him, and he had never met her. And though she was unaware of her past and whom she had been, not even that person had any real relationship to the Quincy. However, the myriad of amounts of data she possessed in her archives and in her operating system contained vast amounts of information on the spiritual world. His name, common knowledge about him, as well as sightings, ideas, and rumors were all logged under his file. In some ways, she knew him very well, or at least as much as a relatively close friend would. As for him, though her presence should have certainly been a surprise, he was bound to have heard the name, most likely through her unique set of skills with technology or simply due to her efficiency in the field of battle.

”You haven’t come around the compound for some time or so my records indicate. What can I do for you?”

As she talked she walked closer, his energy creating the perfect silhouette of his body that allowed her to gauge his height, proportion, and the weapons he might have despite her lack of sight. As for the Doll, there wasn’t any energy to feel. In most ways she would seem like a regular powerless human were it not for the too-logical a manner of speaking and her nearly robotic behavior. However that was a term that was thought of as a bit of taboo, as lately the girl had started to entertain the idea that she was alive, and that she was far more than a machine. Her outfit was the casual black fabric that hid her energy, the skirt covering well though just barely below her butt. The black gloves and boots were as fancy as they were powerful, a testament to the skill and power she deployed in close quarter combat. More notably was the contrast of the black of her blindfold and pale white of her hair, a sign that further showed her lack of sight.

Once she was close enough she bowed lightly. Both of her hands would pick and pull at the tip of her skirts, something she had downloaded from an manners and ethics book that deemed it imperative. From it she moved to a handshake, something common in her social repertoire. If allowed she would check on the texture, firmness, and nature of his skin. When sight was unavailable, there was a lot one could tell about an individual by the way their skin felt. If allowed the freedom of movement, the Doll would simply lean back lightly, sitting on the edge of a large white table made of a strange otherworldly material, possibly of her own creation.

His eyes looked at the female he could hear her but remained silent for a moment. She wasn't normal or anything he'd seen before in his lifetime. Thousand years and information from Yhwach and Hulderic. Yet not a thing on her, he could detect Reishi around her. Something she could use perhaps as a weapon this required a far greater bit of information. Though this was often considered a rather invasive thing that almost was akin to melding bodies such as sex. Ghislain wanted to know just what she was, despite knowing it could prove fruitless. "Curious, I sense Reishi but I can't determine you. You are Angel, sorry about this.." Ghislain said realizing who she was but in a moment something happened. It was like the shadows came to life and tried to wrap around her body. Covering her body in a darkness that embraced each curve and bosom with a tight grip. Ghislain's power was scanning her as it inserted and pushed into each possible hole and area. Going into her mouth. Her ass and vagina also got an exploration, it was best ot be thorough.

This could be compared to taking a bath that sort of pushed into you. Ghislain stood from his seated position now as he rubbed his chin. "Interesting, you are a machine..yet you wield reishi as precisely as a Quincy." The shadow's finished their work as he waved them off trying to understand the being before. Had Quincy had someone like her perhaps they'd of won that conflict. She was obviously different from anything on a technological scale. Perhaps she could be replicated on the Quincy end to create a Ginto based similarity. But this wasn't enough he needed more raw data from this one. His Matter scan only told him so much. Ghislain wasn't known to be this forward unless his people needed it. If need be he'd do whatever it took to see them restored or given an edge. He didn't care what was required to accomplish that if it meant given Yhwach a body of his he would. But with this being of the machine before him, he got closer.

He sniffed the female taking in her scent now as he did this. Ghislain didn't give off any red flags or things like that. She was clean almost like soap as he thought for a moment softly. Before bringing her hand up he did something truly strange. Given the last few minutes for the woman that was saying something. He licked her hand softly almost like a dog as he closed his eye. "You are one of kind, sorry about that...I got a bit excited..about the prospect of seeing something new. " Ghislain was telling the truth for the most part as he'd never seen something like her. She was one of a kind and no others even remotely like this girl lived. Not in his time or even now, the Quincy could never not in a million years do this. She indeed was Humanity's Angel and could be what they aspired too. There was a flipside to this she was exposed to Dark Matter and her body would have gotten scans of it. Ghislain deemed the risk worth it for the long run of things.

Ghislain returned to his chair now somewhat defeated. This thing had basically been a bust as inspiration was gone. Ghislain began drawing designs and schematics for something. It had nothing to do with the girl as her design was too intricate for him. He was convinced not Tsubasa nor even Urahara could compete with that level of design. Shadin likely couldn't of either in the long run whatever or whoever made her. Was a savant in that field and did so without leaving anything. Even he a veteran Quincy capable of tracking things so well. She was a blip on the radar of reishi and that was it. He'd let her scan the Dark Matter for a moment knowing that she now had data on it. But it wasn't something math could easily comprehend. It was exotic and different from anything in this world. Even if he showed her his own and she made hers, they'd be completely different. The matter was exotic in its nature and even it's usage truthfully. Thus in terms of use she'd come up with a design to help her.

Ghislain was a mystery in his own way as he had no plans to stay here. Not when he and Sofia had goals to accomplish. His own taking over most of his thoughts as he listened to her. Making sure he paid her proper attention as his power had reached her womb and insides entirely scanning everything. Most people wouldn't have been able to handle such an invasive scan of energy. But she wasn't bothered by it and could of likely prevented it. Ghislain didn't intend to do anything stupid in this base. His youthful joy over seeing something new got the better of him. His composure was gone for a moment. Before returning to him as he designed a barrier into to keep out Demons and Hollows. To create a field they couldn't fight in using Quincy based energy. The purification field would make it very hard for a demonic horde to burst through. Ghislain tapped his chin with the pen now as he rose from his seat leaving the design for a field of that nature.

”Sorry about wha-”

Then she felt it. Her sensors were picking up a form of energy loosely related to reishi. She could get a mental image, and even analyze some of its most basic structure, but not much more. Nonetheless, Ghislain’s file did mention his ability to use something called Dark Matter. Unfortunately there wasn’t much information as to what it could do since the accounts were far and few in between. As it approached her, the Doll remained cautious and at the ready. It seemed to be scanning her, but Angel was doing her own scanning as well. Her design was dissecting the particles, trying to find a reason or motive to their action. She needed to know what they were doing before they did, in order to prevent potential tampering or hacking of her design. No one could really hack something as complex and led by something as advanced as she was, but the Doll was at the ready in the unlikely scenario. The method in which he checked her however was extremely odd. To a regular Human it would have been shameful and perhaps infuriating, but neither emotion was truly seen in the girl. Sure, exploring her body like that was unprofessional and perhaps not necessary, but she didn’t have a pride to keep or a threshold for shame that would make her lash out; she did however have secrets to keep.

”Okay I think you’ve scanned enough,” said the Doll as a quick burst of energy flowed out from within her.

The energy should have been enough to push away some of the dark matter that didn’t seem all that malicious to begin with. Even the one that had made it deep inside would have been dealt with through a number of ways that included but were not limited to specific mix of mechanical and spiritual hardware, and the other fail safes she possessed. No doubt Ghislain would have found out what he wanted to know, but none of the things that were kept secret and hidden from prying eyes. Once their energies had dissipated, Angel was yet again surprised by his reaction. He licked her hand. The woman wasn’t an expert on Human interaction, and there was still far too much she needed to learn to consider herself as fluent or comparable to a Human as her men. Still, his reaction didn’t register as something that would commonly be done. Perhaps it was a Quincy thing, or perhaps it was simply a Ghislain thing. Regardless, it didn’t bother her at all, though frankly very little did. It was just odd, specially since she couldn’t sense any technique or ability that would require an action like that to be performed. The idea that he had done it simply because he wanted to had not even registered.

”That’s different. But you’re right. I’m a Shinigami Doll, the result of endless work by two famous scientists and the best of technology crammed into one being. I’m not the best at anything, but I learn quickly and adapt. And you’re right, one of my primary skills is the use of reishi like a Quincy. Look.”

All of a sudden, one of her hands was encircled by reishi of a very strange kind. It wasn’t the typical blue hue noticeable in the Quincy, but rather a bright golden yellow of her own unique kind. The ring of reishi has a lot of symbols along its border, similar to those seen in the Enochian language before it expanded, a large beautiful white katana materializing into her hands. The blade was almost as long as she was tall, a testament to her skill with the blade in utilizing such a weapon with strength and dexterity. Strangely enough, of all her swords, and she had many, that was her shortest and lightest one. In essence, the technique wasn’t very different from a Quincy’s ability to summon a spirit weapon. So while she was of a unique race, Ghislain should have found quite a lot of similarities between her and his own kind. Perhaps as some form of weird relative, not related by blood.

”I call this one, Katana of the Archangel.”

He rubbed at his chin sighing a bit as he glanced her over. The burst had sent away a bit of his dark matter. But most had receded back into his shadow almost as though sucked into it. She wasn't something he could mimic or copy at all. Ghislain could only take in what had become clear. He could prepare himself for the pride he couldn't allow himself to be weaker. Then others at the moment but his people would need to stand alone without devices or advantages. She was the work of two famous scientists who'd come a long way. Ghislain did fancy himself a tinker and could admire the craftsmanship They'd done such excellent work on her making a pinnacle of power and beauty. Her design was sleek and yet he could sense the heaviness of her. His eyes watched as she manipulated reishi from a blade. This was a truly interesting thing that had been made. A Shinigami who could manipulate the flow so neatly and craft things. She was inspirational in her own way by giving him ideas. She had made him speechless as he walked over looking at the blade closely. She was so close to hem in many ways as he ran his fingers through the raw reishi she manipulated. Surprisingly to her most likely it didn't harm him as his digits caressed that familiar feeling. The sense of loss was gone as he seemed transfixed on it before finally speaking. "It is very pure the reishi you create. It has a beauty all it's own much like you. I can see the sweet and effort those two put in. As a scientist, it motivates me to further pursue my goals. So I thank them and you for being born." Ghislain was perhaps one of the wiser men of his people.

She was the inspiration of what science could accomplish. Creating a purity that wasn't like the other race entirely. It held its own flavor and beauty to it. Remarkable enough she had convinced him to finish what he came here to do. Ghislain stepped back smiling a bit as he sighed a bit. "Sadly, I came here to resign from the Vanguard to help my people further. Our science hasn't progressed much since we faced the Shinigami in the War. Much of our teaching and technology was lost. But I can rebuild and maybe do more by passing it to the new generation." He said finishing his sentence as he smiled a bit. It didn't feel that hard or perhaps that bad now. She'd shown him in her own way that perhaps they could go forward. They needed knowledge and teaching not stolen bankais or new equipment. They needed the experience he could offer them with no form of stimulating other than the Quincy beliefs. Their people would survive and prove themselves this time. The world felt on the edge of a knife at this point.

Breathes away from its next conflict as he rubbed behind his head a bit. It wasn't somber news to Ghislain as the Vanguard homed him. When he didn't belong with his people and let him train. Let him find a way to forge onward in the way his people had. He was on the verge of dividing a new Reishi technique from his travels. Creating a Reishi Rune system to allow them to use special runes in combat. Quincy had always used techniques from Ginto among other things. The equipment had been there for them. But he knew the kids didn't need that sort of stuff. They needed experience from an older Quincy. Someone who'd been around a while and seen war. His first plan was to show Sofia what she was getting into. To show her what worked and didn't in those days. Why relying on an Emperor cost them so much.

Science had progressed far in his time away on this journey. Further perhaps then he thought possible. But that was the exciting part of it all. It meant even he could create someday something on par with this. It would allow him to grow and make something new one day. But for now, it was time to marvel in the success of others. The military was important but so was the technology that they used. Ghislain had hoped Sofia would be alright with opening a School. To teach the children the days of old and pass on knowledge. He didn't mind spending his time as such down the road. Survivors have to share their story with the world in a way. To let them see what they came from to get here. This was his duty not just as an Emperor or a Warrior. But as a Quincy, to be with his people. To give them his all and everything he held within. Knowledge and experience in systems and beliefs among other things. Ghislain had learned that many thing things required time and effort and this would be no different.
