[The feed turns onto a face that may be familiar to some. Her hair is much shorter, her eyes larger and her cheeks fuller, but it’s unmistakably Yoruichi, even if she only looks about nineteen right now.]

[She looks rattled, but determined not to let her recent arrival get to her all the same. Still, her words are hurried, betraying her obvious distress.]

If there’s anyone out there from the Onmitskidou, or the Gotei 13, or Seireitei...or Rukongai, I guess, can you let know? And if you know why all these humans can see us--

[She stops and pulls in a deep breath, her face firming]

I got an explanation but it doesn’t make sense. Since when are humans even capable-- [the last is a mutter, almost to herself] So just. If this thing’s working and you have some information, it’d be a big help.

[She bites her lower lip, then reaches out to turn off the device]

[ Interesting... ]

And why wouldn't humans be able to see you?

[Well, seeing text appear is odd to say the least, so it takes her a few moments before responding]

I guess a few of them can, but most of them just don't know we're there.

[Pause]

Until they die, anyway. They can all see us then.

That does not answer my question. Why wouldn't they be able to see you?

We're shinigami. Humans can't see us unless they can see spirits.

[ If this were his own world, he'd simply dismiss this person as crazy and stop responding. But after spending his time here... well, he's heard, and witnessed, stranger. Wesker was, first and foremost, a scientist, and a lot of what he's seen was bizarre even by his standards. Though it inspires a desire to learn more rather than incredulity. He'd like to cut some of these things open and see how they work. ]

And you are saying that normal humans can see you now? That you have been given physical form again?

Yes. I don't know how they did it, but I don't know how they brought me here either, so.

[And since this is all very mysterious, anonymous text-san]

Um, who is this? No offense, but I was kinda hoping to get some questions of my own answered.

Unfortunately, my field of expertise doesn't include shinigami.

[ He's a biologist with a specialty in biochemistry and microbiology, not a... whatever studies those. ]

Although, I will confess that I am interested in learning.

All I'm interested in is getting out of here.

[Her expression clearly shows her frustration.]

So you're human, then? Are you from here or did they bring you here too?

I am what humanity could have been, and failed to become by resisting nature.

I was brought here, just as all of the other transports were.

Um...

[Okay, that's a weird answer. Humans are humans, they don't change into anything but spirits.]

What does that mean?

Natural selection.

I don't know what that is.

[Canon is horribly vague on shinigami ages, but it's a good bet Darwin isn't around yet]

Nature's way of weeding out the weak from the strong.

[Mulls that over]

So...you're some new version of human?

No. I am what humanity should have been.

What makes you better than them?

Everything.

Um, okay. That's pretty vague, you know.

It is also broad. And true.

Wow, you're not exactly modest about any of this, are you?

And why should I be? My very existence is a correction of humanity interfering with nature.
