AN: By the way, I'm relatively new to the God Eater series and it's pretty damn fun. With God Eater 2 coming out later tonight, in like five hours. So I decided why not do a story for this series.

A girl lazily laid on her bed, with nothing do but think. She let out a bored sigh before she sat up. "Why does everyone have such high hopes that I'm going to be such an exceptional God Eater? I mean, I am good, like really good, but still. I'm just a recruit who's still new to this whole God Eater thing," For some reason, two words stuck with her not leaving mind, and at the same time, they were the only things she could think of. "Recruit...? New...? New recruit...? New recruit... Ah, crap..." She repeated to herself before the sudden realization. She quickly hopped off her bed and rushed over to the other side of the room. She grabbed her navy coloured vest and fixed up her boots and hair before she rushed out the door.

The elevator door opened and she found everyone sitting around on the couch. She walked over to them feeling a little tired. "Someone finally decided to show up," Sakuya said.

"Sorry, I'm late." She said as sat down to the right of Lindow. "So, who's the recruit?"

"Don't know yet," Lindow said.

"They haven't arrived yet?"

"No, not yet," Sakuya said.

"Oh..." Claire crossed her arms as she closed her eyes.

"Uh, Claire? What are you doing?" Kota said.

"I'm still a little tired, so I'm going to take a little nap. Wake me up when they get here." Everyone waited patiently for the recruit and it wasn't long until they heard other God Eaters talking about rumours of the New-Type God Eater that was soon to arrive. Everyone heard footsteps from downstairs walking up to them. The footsteps revealed to be Tsubaki and the recruit. Everyone, but Claire, stood up as Tsubaki was ready to introduce the recruit.

"Good day, squad. I'd like to introduce someone. Another New-Type God Eater will be joining your squad as of today."

"A pleasure to meet you. My name is Alisa Ilinichina Amiella. I've been transferred here from the Russia Branch. I will do my best to continue to serve with distinction. I hope we work well together."

"Yes! We always have room for another hottie." Kota said excitedly.

Alisa looked at Kota with slight disgust on her face. "Is he serious? The fact that you survived long enough to be a God Eater is astounding."

"Whaa?" Kota said not believing the harsh words he heard.

"She doesn't have any battle experience you do, but her scores in the simulation are beyond anything recorded. Better hone your skills."

"Yes, ma'am. Of course. Sorry." Kota said.

"Alisa, you'll be serving under Lindow, a talented God Eater, and a good commander."

"As you wish, Ma'am."

"I have some documents that need your signature. Why don't you come with me." Tsubaki said to Lindow who just nodded. "The rest of you, make Alisa feel at home..." She looked over at the sleeping recruit and sighed a little bit. "And would somebody wake her up. Dismissed."

Everyone turned over to Claire who was still sleeping while Sakuya nudged her shoulder to try and wake her up. She began to wake up as she lifted her head and looked at everyone. She let out a yawn before she stood up and walked over to everyone, but for some unknown reason, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the recruit but she just shrugged it off and went to greet her. "Are you the new member?" Claire asked.

"Yes, the name's Alisa Ilinichina Amiella. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Cool! I'm Claire Everhart. I'm also..." Claire paused for a second before she looked over to Sakuya. "Hey? Am I still a recruit even if I've been here for a few weeks?" Sakuya just shrugged and Claire turned back to the recruit. "Whatever... I'm a recruit who started a few weeks ago, and I'm, supposedly, the first New-Type God Eater."

"I hope we work well together."

"Yes, I hope we do," Claire smiled.

"Do you know where everything is?"

"Yes, I do."

"Okay, cool."

A day later all the recruits headed over to listen to Dr. Paylor lectures about Aragami. Kota sat in his usual spot and Claire sat next to him while Alisa sat on the other side of the room. "Picking up from last time, we were talking about Oracle Cells, yes? They makeup Aragami and eat anything. And I mean anything. They eat life-forms, flora, and fauna, as well as synthetic creations, resins... plastics, for instance. It has even been reported that they consume toxic waste, which will actively destroy any other life form. They never tire. Buildings, the earth itself. See, this is the end result." Dr. Paylor turned to the screen next to him and a picture showed how the earth currently looks like. "The environment as we know it. The "leftovers", is diminishing at an unsustainable rapid pace." Once again the image changed from the destroyed world to beautiful trees in different colours. "People once gathered here to view cherry blossoms in the spring. To watch leaves array in gold and red when autumn came." The screen became black as he finished showing examples of the old world. "Now, only memories. Preserved in pictures and first-hand accounts. And the Aragami, they begin to take on qualities of the things they consume, gaining new abilities. Recently we discovered a few Aragami that been photosynthesizing. It's a wonder."

"So that's how we're still breathing." Claire thought as she had been listening to the lecture intently.

"The composition of our air remains as it always was. 79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen." Dr. Paylor said as he slowly made his over to Kota after realizing he was asleep which was no surprise. "Despite the decimation of our trees and plants over the last 20 odd years, nearly 70% now gone, we have maintained the air. It's ironic. We hunt the Aragami and they hunt us, yet it is due to their photosynthesis that we can still breathe." Dr. Paylor tapped Kota on his head as he explained the lecture.

"... No, mom, earmuffs don't go on the cookie..." Kota mumbled in his sleep.

Alisa let out an annoyed sigh once she seen Kota was asleep this whole time. "Really? Does he not understand how important this is?"

"He merely is Kota. Tell me, have either of you heard the term, "Nova's Devouring Apocalypse"?" Dr. Paylor asked.

Claire shook her head, but Alisa nodded. "Yes... It will theoretically come into being through Aragami fighting each other. Humanity's extinction is triggered by Nova, an Aragami grown so massive and so powerful that it devours the world." Alisa finished explaining and Kota woke up after hearing what everyone was talking about.

"Precisely. Now, we have no confident source for the origin of this theory. And many people have dismissed it as a superstitious rumour."

"But, but when the Aegis Project is complete that'll protect us all, right? Even from that." Kota said.

"Would anything we make be able to stop something like that?" Claire asked.

Dr. Paylor was quiet as they both asked their questions. "Hm... do you know what a dog is?" Dr. Paylor asked as he ignored their questions or if they didn't ask it at all.

"Y-You didn't answer our..." Claire tried to get back to their questions, but the doctor continued with what he was talking about.

"Yes, Canis lupus familiarus. Even now their numbers are fading, but they can still be seen around the Outer Ghetto. Dogs are intelligent. No, they cannot speak, but they have a natural, almost innate form of communication with other species. Like us. Now, if an Aragami were to take on these sorts of qualities, would that Aragami then be able to co-exist with us?"

"Co-exist?" Alisa said that was an impossible thing to happen.

"Of course, dogs are not the only animals that possess this sort of ingrown communication. I read once about an animal tamer who used to communicate with all kinds of creatures in some striped tent or something. Haha..."

"It's not possible. Humans and Aragami cannot live together. Simple fact." Alisa said.

"I don't know... maybe they can," Claire said.

"Oh?" Dr. Paylor started to get interested in wondering what she could mean. "Continue."

"I don't know, maybe they can co-exist with us. Oh, wait, but wouldn't that mean they would have to eat quite a few humans first for that to happen?"

"Hmm... I think this is a good place to end it here." Claire found the doctor's behaviour a little strange, but she shrugged it off as the way the doctor acts.

Claire pressed the button for the elevator and waited with the other two. She suddenly remembered that she has a mission later today and she decided to ask Alisa. "Hey, Alisa?"

"Yes?"

"I have a mission later today. Do you want to come?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm very busy right now."

"Oh... That's too bad..." Claire said a little disappointed. "Hey, Kota! Wanna go on a mission together?"

"Sure! It sounds like fun! I need something to do after that lecture."

"Cool! And after we come back let's watch some Bugarally."

"Sweet! Sounds like a plan!"
