The pontiff smiled as Nebula busied herself with the ornament before turning her focus back to Alicia. Her statement seemed to flash worry across her face, though if only for the blink of an eye. The other two however, were much more clear in their reactions. Eric paused his search through the papers, staring at Alicia while August looked between Alicia and Nebula.
There was a moment of silence after Nebula's remark before Eric cleared his throat.
"You'll have to forgive me but, that is unheard of for us." He said, looking over the papers one last time as if to confirm his statement.
"Any Cyber-Newtype creation is only on late teens or adults and though we've obtained records of those with less... Patience in regards to age the youngest we were able to even hear about was at the age of four. And that was because the treatment failed so spectacularly it brought them to the attention of MS hunters and Vultures alike."
His hand went through his hair as he thought of some way to figure this out.
"Unless you happen to know where there would be records of the procedure the only way I can know for certain what the case is for your daughters would be an autopsy. Which is out of the question for multiple reasons. However, I can give you an educated guess and a course that might lead to more information." Eric paused, putting the paper back together and on his clipboard, he wouldn't be needing that anymore.
"There are designer babies, Coordinators are what they're called, if you manage to find someone who is involved in making them and knows how to add the desired traits to them before birth. I'd be willing to guess some teamwork between myself and them should, given some time, be able to piece together how one would make Cyber-Newtypes before they are born."
Once Eric was done the Supreme Pontiff spoke up, having checked a device in the meanwhile.
"I'm afraid that as far as your children are concerned this is the furthest we can currently help you in finding answers. However if there is anything else you need only ask. As much as I would like to learn and talk with you more myself I have a gathering in a few minutes I must attend to but should you have need of me my schedule will be freed up in thirty minutes. August you are hereby permitted to discuss any cooperation in my stead and Nebula if you wouldn't mind may I have the ornament back?"
She would hold out her hand towards Nebula to receive the ornament.
August would nod at being given permission to negotiate in her stead, it made some sense since he had been the one to meet and escort them, though he still was no diplomat it seemed the impression he had left on the Tornado Company was good enough for them to consider and want cooperation.
