LYDIA DEETZ AND FULLMETAL PANIC
Capítulo 1: Testarossa's petition
Inside an official room inside Mithril's Tdd-1 submarine, an important meeting was being held.
“As far as we know it's an organization that calls itself OpMithril," reported Kalinin, who was Mithril's strategist.
Andrei Sergeivich Kalinin, despite being of Russian origin, had very tanned skin, a beard and moustache, and a ponytail that adorned his white hair, was like a kind of father figure among the crew of the giant submarine, even though he had a hard look.
“OpMithril?” Mardukas said strangely.
Along with Kalinin, Richard Mardukas was the oldest senior officer present in Mithril's entire organization. Of English origin, he always wore a cap which gave a very intimidating appearance to the already strict Tdd-1 vice captain.
Mardukas had always followed an elitist discipline and did not tolerate any laxity in the discipline of his subordinates. This elitism even applied to him, unlike Kalinin, who had a muscular figure, Mardukas was thin with a sickly complexion and was always well shaved and trimmed all his black hair.
Despite his determined self-control, this time Mardukas reflected a face of extreme concern.
“I suppose the name OpMithril indicates that it is an organisation whose interests are opposed to our own," Kalinin explained.
The two former military veterans stared at the small figure to whom they dedicated their reports.
Sitting nervously in a captain's chair that looked very comfortable, was a small female whose appearance did not match what one would expect from a submarine captain.
She looked so young that she would make anyone believe that she was a primary school girl, she had a fairy face, which had almost whitish grey hair, which was braided and rested on her right shoulder, and she had grey eyes. The girl's' name was Teletha Testarossa.
Teletha Testarossa (who asked to be called Tessa), was actually 16 years old and with an IQ of a genius, was not only the captain of the Tdd-1, but of the entire Mithril organization.
“No matter what we do," said Tessa, while nervously stroking the tip of her braid, "this enemy is ahead of us, we have already ruled out the presence of spy devices on the ship and the use of spies on our crew. What do you think, Melissa?”
Melissa Mao shook her head as she could not give any explanation for what was happening.
Melissa was the senior officer of Sousuke and Kurz, with short black hair, white skin and a pretty face, could be a good bride prospect, except for the fact that she was a drinking fanatic and was known to lose her temper sometimes, even to her superiors.
Next to Melissa were Sousuke Sagara and Kurz Weber. Sousuke had black hair and an athletic complexion, and a strong tan. With an attractive face, he frightened the girls with his everlasting expression of severity, that and his lack of ability to relate, took away everything attractive from him.
Kurz, he was the opposite of Sousuke, very extrovert and a playboy. He had the appearance of a catwalk model with blue eyes and blond hair, the only thing that gave him away was that lustful look that warned women not to mess with him.
“Maybe the enemy is using magic," said Kurz, who as always was lax in matters of discipline.
Kalinin, Mardukas, and even Melissa all looked harshly at the blond man, who shrugged in his seat.
“Maybe that's why,” said Tessa, “magic, uh...'"
“Emmm captain... I was just kidding.”
“I heard about an incident on an island in Hawaii," Tessa suddenly said as she remembered. “Several civilians died, I believe the island was called Kanooka. Kalinin, I want you to find out everything about that incident.”
.
.
Several hours later.
Kalinin was delivering the report to Tessa regarding the incident on the Hawaiian island.
The captain was looking at some files and her view stopped at a photograph, the first thing that caught her attention was the image of a young girl who was wearing some gothic clothes.
“She's very beautiful," said Tessa.
“She's a civilian near her age, captain," Kalinin told her.
.
.
Winter River was a small town in North America and in one of its schools, in a school for girls only, called Miss Shannon, the girls read the text of universal history with great boredom, all of them except for a girl who had apparently worn a black skirt over the blue tartan skirt that was compulsory in school.
The girl had a perfect face and a very white colored face, which contrasted with a somewhat long hair of a very dark color. The girl's huge, dark eyes were scrolling with interest through the pages of the text when the class was interrupted by a man with a ponytail, Kalinin.
“Mister, who are you to enter the classroom and interrupt my class!” Miss' Shannon expressed herself hysterically.
The man approached the woman and whispered something in her ear. The students were very interested in what was happening, but could not hear anything the two adults had to say.
“Miss Lydia," said Director Shannon after a while, "please take your things and follow the gentleman, he will take you to the home of your parents who are waiting for you.”
“Who is this mister?”
“Sorry to bother you, my name is Andrei Sergeivich Kalinin, and I am a strategic officer of the Mithril organization.”
“I had never heard of such an organization.”
“I am not surprised, our organization is non-governmental and precise in its mission to preserve your privacy. Would you please escort me to your house, Miss Deetz?”
Lydia looked at the man closely and concluded that she had no choice.
Once out of school, Lydia and Kalinin took a military jeep that drove them to the Gothic girl's house.
“It is a beautiful Victorian house and its location is magnificent, you can see all the surroundings.”
“Excuse me, Mr. Kalinin, but could you tell me the reason for your visit?”
“It is an issue related to NATO and the establishment of peace in Spain. Do not worry that any doubts you may have will be cleared up with my superior, the captain and leader of my organization.”
When Lydia entered her home she could see her parents and Percy who were waiting for her.
Charles Deetz was a very tall man with reddish hair, while his second wife and stepmother of Lydia's was short but also had red hair (Lydia supposed she was dyed).
Percy was a young man the same age as Lydia and had eyes and hair the same color as Lydia's, and he had a beauty that was disturbing, almost dangerous.
Lydia and her family were able to see a very young girl, wearing a military uniform of a frightening khaki color.
"It's not what I expected," Lydia thought when she saw Kalinin's superior.
“Miss Deetz, meet Captain Teletha Testarossa, leader of Mithril," Kalinin formally introduced Tessa.
“A pleasure, Captain Testarossa," said Lydia, a bit intrigued by the captain's strange name and surname, but she recovered quickly, after all a surname like Deetz was not very common either, not to mention her mother's surname: Cat.
“The pleasure is all mine and please call me just Tessa," said the young captain, impressed by the melodious voice of the Gothic girl in front of her.
“All right, Tessa, you call me by my first name too.”
"Excuse me, Tessa," Lydia continued, "but if Mithril is such a secret organization, why didn't Mr. Kalinin interview me in private?”
“That was to show you that our intentions weren't bad," Tessa replied with a smile.
“Mr Kalinin told me that the reason for his visit was a matter relating to NATO and Spain.”
“That's right, you see, Lydia, Mithril is an organization that fights for peace. Our goal is to stop international arms trafficking and global drug trafficking.”
“That's really cool," said Percy.
“Thanks, though, Mithril is just a group of mercenaries," explained Tessa to the astonishment of Lydia and Percy. “Of course, unlike normal mercenaries, Mithril does not accept work from evil people or perform activities designed to harm people. Arms and drug trafficking is a problem that has overwhelmed the capacity of any country or group of countries to control it, that's where Mithril comes in. As mercenaries we are not restricted by local or foreign laws and although our methods clash with various legal aspects of international law, our services are required by countries that cannot perform the same activities in legal and diplomatic matters as we do.”
“I understand, but Tessa, what would be the interest your organization would have in me to carry out this meeting?”
“An unknown enemy has stepped forward, we believe that this enemy uses unconventional capabilities to stay one step ahead.”
“Don't worry Tessa, I think I understand what you're getting at," said Lydia who watched as Tessa got nervous about dealing with such an uncomfortable subject as the existence of magic.
“I didn't mean to violate your privacy, but we found out all about the Kanooka Island affair. Lydia, I know it's a lot to ask, but please, I beg you to help us," said Tessa as she put her hands together as a plea.
Lydia looked a little worried at her parents and Percy.
“I assure you that I will guarantee the safety of your daughter at all times, your help is of vital importance and I assure you that both Mithril and NATO will acknowledge the help given.”
Lydia's parents were nervous, but Lydia herself offered to help Tessa with the condition that she let Percy accompany her.
