*And then he's waking, Toudou standing over him...and a strange sensation in his head...like he's not alone...*

Toudou: Shadowmaru. *smiles, relieved* Welcome back.

Maru: */shudders/…looks up*  C-chief Toudou?  Where am I? What happened?

Toudou: You're in the repair bay. You got pretty beat out there.

Hiroshi: *gives his arm a pat* You gave us quite a scare, big guy.  We thought we were going to lose you there for a moment.

Kumouri: *down by the console...* Hey, Maru, how're you feeling? *has a little frown on his face, still a little worried*

Toudou: Something wrong?

Kumouri: ......I'm getting some odd readings from his Super AI. *looks at Maru*

*And...Maru feels strange, almost like he's not alone in his body.*

Maru: *gives Hiroshi a small grin* My apologies, Hiroshi-san.  *looks at Kumouri, starts to respond, glances between him and Toudou…and frowns a bit himself, attention turning inward a bit, voice /soft/*  Ka…Kagerou?

Kage: *the voice that answers back is only in Maru’s head, and sounds disoriented and groggy.* //Sh-Shadowmaru...?  What...?//

*Toudou and Hiroshi exchange looks at what they hear Maru say...and Kumouri frowns...worried for the ninja...*
