At the bar, La Noche, Kyte is drinking beer and greedily munching on peanuts while Rhythm responsibly drinks tea in order to be ready and alert at any moment.

The most stunning lady in red enters the bar.

Kyte’s tongue falls down on the table like a thirsty coyote. (anime comical) Rhythm, distracted briefly says to himself, “What the…” Catching himself mid-thought, he quickly returns to his alert composure.

The lady comes up to them, bends over the table and says in a tender, low voice, “Hi boys!” Then, without waiting for a reply, she stands up, turns around and goes to the bar.

Rhythm and Kyte return to business and continue discussing their mission, but they see out of their peripheral vision that Passion is being approached by a comical stream of men. She appears unimpressed.

(Every time in a picture of Kyte and Rhythm in the foreground, there is in the background Passion on the bar with a different, funny picture like a
guitarist, a bouncer, the DJ etc. (anime comical)

Kyte, distracted once again, “Man, she’s hot! A total babe!”

Rhythm replies sternly, “She is trouble. Whatever you do, DO NOT approach her and start a conversa …” His advice stopped abruptly by the sight of Kyte already walking towards the woman. He shakes his head in disbelief, “This kid.”

As Kyte approaches, Passion is sitting facing the bar. He attempts to make himself manly, powerful and confident. He puts his elbow down on the bar next to her and says, “Hello, mysterious lady.”

Passion barely looks at him as she says, “Look kiddo, why don’t you go back to the kid’s table and chat with your handsome date.”

Kyte, seemingly unbothered, “Mhmm. My apologies. My name is Kyte. May I sit with you for a few minutes?” Passion curiously agrees as Kyte turns to the bartender, “Two shots please.”

Passion, looking down, “You seem to have no sensitivity to the vibe of the moment. I’m giving you the piss off vibe, and you’re giving me the let’s hug vibe.” She glances up again to give Kyte her best evil eyes, but she’s caught off guard. She sees him looking at her half from the side, in one hand an empty whiskey glass and the other about to enter his mouth. She can’t hold back a giggle as she says, “You crack me up!”

They continue to talk for 4 hours without any awareness of their surroundings. Rhythm sits there thinking to himself. “Must be one heck of a lady!”

At around 4:30 am, Kyte and Passion are still at the almost empty bar. Their eyes meet and a rush of feelings go through both of them. Kyte has memories of his past; a feeling of knowing each other for the longest time and finally having found each other again. Kyte tries to express his feelings, “I know this sounds really cliché and I swear it’s not a pickup line, but I feel as if we’ve known each other forever. It’s as if we were meant to meet here tonight.”

Passion is surprised, “Woah, Mister! You need to control your emotions!” She pauses. A tenderness comes over her as she continues with a sweeter, gentler tone, “I like you. You seem so innocent--not like most around here, including your Mr. ‘I-Don’t-Show-Any-Emotions’ over there.”

At that moment, a man in a blue suit walks in and Passion immediately says, “Ooh, it’s time for me to go.’

The man walks over to the bar, pointing a gun at Kyte, “Get out of the way kiddo, we two have business.”

Kyte protests, “What?!?! There must be a misunderstanding. This lady is a truly innocent soul!”

The man was not amused and aimed the gun much closer to Kyte’s head, “Love the world somewhere else.”

Passion sassily interrupts, “I hope this macho entrance makes you feel big and strong. I’m done with this kid anyways. My place or your place?”

The man unemotionally responds, “There is no place for you anymore.”

Passion walks up to him, puts herself in a position of a victim and shouts to Kyte, “Stranger, oh stranger help me!”

(Passion is playing a role like in a performance comical anime)

The man, a little confused, hesitates a moment, but then puts his gun to her chest, “No more games!”

Kyte screams, “Please stop! I beg of you! (Kyte has almost tears in his eyes anime comical)
The man is confused by the pathetic and whiny words coming out of Kyte’s mouth and is
stunned for a brief moment. Just enough time for Passion to disarm the man, knock him with an elbow as if she wanted to just brush her hair back. The man’s face lands in her cleavage and slides down with the rest of his unconscious, limb body. (anime comical)

Harmony, from NOAH1’s Realigram, exclaims, “Attention! Attention!” Just as three more men that were sitting in disguise suddenly stand up and point their guns at Passion.

Rhythm stands up confidently and walks into the confrontation, “Gentlemen, this woman is no villain, I believe.” The men ignore him and continue towards Passion.

One of the men scowls, “Who are you clown with the neon jumpsuit? What is this? A comic convention?” Lieutenant Rhythm doesn’t back down, but comes closer.

Passion uses the distraction to kick one of the men between the legs really hard and says in a femme fatale voice, “Good night, dear,” as the man collapses before her. She then looks at the other two men and says, “And for you two sweethearts, I am still hoping for some fun. Why don’t you come for a dance? If not, I’d get out here fast. My belly is already tingling in excitement.”

The guys run out.

Kyte exclaims, with tears of joy in his eyes, “Wow, you sure can fight! Man, am I happy to see you alive!” He then tried to hug her but she holds him back with her hand. Kyte, once again unfazed by her rejection, “I think this calls for a celebration.” He walks to the bar shouting, “Bartender, the next round is on me!”

Passion, asking Rhythm, “What’s up with this guy?” Rhythm just shrugs and smiles. Then he walks up to the man in blue and takes something out of his jacket pocket and puts it in
his pocket. He wants to communicate to Kyte their mission is complete, but Kyte was carried away by yet another reason to celebrate.

Kyte, loudly from the back of the room, requests, “Harmony, play some grooves!” “As you wish, Kyte,” Harmony replies.

Passion continues with deep gratitude in her eyes: “Thank you Lieutenant Rhythm. You saved my life!” Lieutenant Rhythm stands up.

Through the music that had built up to a nice groove, Rhythm could just make out Harmony announcing that they are to prepare for lift-off. He excuses himself respectfully, “Lift-Off, that’s my codeword, Lieutenant.”

Passion comes closer, “You are always so composed, Mr. Rhythm. I would love to see your raging anger sometime.” Then she gives him a gentle kiss on his cheek and walks out the door.

Kyte notices and asks Rhythm where she went but Rhythm simply turns towards the Realigram, “Harmony, take us back. Our mission is accomplished.”


Scene 2: Conference Room, NOAH1

Back at the ship, the Captain congratulates Rhythm and Kyte for the smooth mission.
I assume you have the gem of Svathisthana, Lieutenant?

Rhythm confidently responds, “Of course, Captain. I secured it in … (he pauses) ….THIS WOMAN!” The Captain waits confused as Rhythm continues, “My deepest apologies Captain. The woman who was with us took it from me, presumably when she was kissing me good bye. I will make sure to bring it back.”

The Captain slightly amused, “A woman who can fool Lieutenant Rhythm? I wonder who she is.”
