Maestra Nequitia/History

## Early History

Sometime long before Operation Troubleshooting, Maestra and Hilde came in contact.

### Operation Troubleshooting

During a combined assault operation initiated by the Akshas, Cardenas, Maze, Camelot and Fenrir Divisions of the Old Administration, Operation Troubleshooting was initiated with the goal of eradicating Elysium Philharmonic. Along with this, apostles of the Demon Lord Gha'agsheblah were used to stall the Fenrir Division before they could arrive to confront the Elysium Philharmonic.

Occuring in a location known only as the Philharmonic Hall, at variable depth coordinates within the Counterside, the Elysium Philharmonic engaged with the Akshas and Cardenas Divisions. Prior to a rescue by the Fenrir Division some time later, Cardenas Division Deputy Commander Montagne signalled that nearly 70% of their allies were incapacitated, most of the survivors unconscious and that the operation was believed to have been a failure. Dimension jump was being blocked and the survivors of the operation could not retreat.

Montagne was routed out by Shena, who described her as a beautiful instrument to add to Maestra's collection. Maestra reprimanded Shena for stepping out of line, as it is Maestra's job to choose her instruments. Maestra then asked Montagne what she believed of her "performance", to which Montagne called her a monster, to Maestra's annoyance. The Elysium Philharmonic members discuss what to do with Montagne, to which Carmen suggests she be given to her to play with, as she believes that the more wounded an animal is, the more it adores its owner. By raising and getting Montagne to birth a child like livestock, it would provide a perfect way to avoid having to waste effort on seeking a test subject for a future experiment.

Montagne lashes out again, but is severely shut down with an attack from Maestra. Maestra Nequitia commends her for staying alive so long and acting as a shield for her friends. She reveals that she had tortured her brother, Sid, the commander of the Cardenas Division to death through the use of Mental Printing, by performing an experiment to see how many personality transplants his brain could withstand. Sid was rolling around as if nothing more than a mindless beast, becoming incontinent and crawling around on the floor snorting like a pig in front of his own men. By the time a 21st personality was implanted into him, he had committed suicide. This indecent death had a profound effect on his own men with already low morale.

Montagne agonized over this revelation, to the Elysium Philharmonic's delight. Carmen indicated that she would love to put a muzzle on her and train her properly, and Shena proposing to simply kill her outright. They are however, soon to engage the most elite combat unit of the Old Administration, the Fenrir Division, whom she calls VIPs. Hilde orders the Maze Division, Fenrir Division and Camelot Division to engage with the Category 5 C.O. Maestra Nequitia on a formation of Fenrir carrying out close combat and the rest providing support. During combat, the Fenrir Division abruptly defeated Elysium Philharmonic, managing to subdue Carmen while Shena fled. Maestra's core was destroyed, which caused the rest of the Elite Members to flee, with the Maze and Camelot Divisions in pursuit. Lee Sooyeon was panting at the end of it, considering it a tough battle. Yubin wonders if Maestra is really dead, with Hilde saying that destroying her core felt different from usual, having doubts wether or not they actually finished her off.

Hilde asks Moneka to check for the space time response, and Moneka is troubled to find a space jump response to the Normalside at a time when space jumping was supposed to be blocked. The response was so weak that it was classified as a sensor error. Maestra had managed to cling onto life and escape. Moneka indicates that pursuing her would be difficult now as the stasis field preventing jumps had not been disabled yet. Hilde orders Moneka to locate Maestra's arrival coordinates and to send all available divisions on the Normalside to that destination immediately.

### Tanaberin Explosion

Maestra, fled as her core was destroyed and penetrated the Normalside in a hurry causing an explosion in the National Foundation Hall and killing everyone there with the exception of Louise Schneider and Leah.
