After fulfilling her duties, the tall white haired beautiful woman, who looked like a Human aside from her mechanical limbs, wanted to rest her mind on one of the uninhabited planets that she owned. Although everyone around her knew that she found and owned a few planets by traveling alone in her free time, no one really knew how many there are or where they're located exactly because she modified the Space Gate that she uses, not allowing any tracking to happen.
She soon arrived at one of her favorite spots, a planet that was covered with all sorts of red fauna making it look like a desolate and dead planet from outer space. While she's a silicon-based life, she greatly appreciates the variety of a carbon-based life, especially plants that give off unique and relaxing scents.
However, her moment of relaxation was abruptly cut off when she noticed the disturbance in the surroundings as she got nearer to her log cabin.
"..."
The woman stopped walking for a moment and liquid metal started seeping out from her face before it went behind her ears. The liquid metal then formed an extension to her ears and now it looks like she's wearing something on her ears.
Immediately a second later, the middle of her chest lit up from within and a massive wave of Magic Power erupted from her. The surge of Magic Power went around the globe a few times before stopping, 'A guest... But how did she come here?'
The woman started walking again and her pace didn't change.
Yoruichi, who was waiting in the woman's log cabin, shivered when the wave of Magic Power went over her a few times, 'This is nuts... I think that went through the entire planet a few times?'
She was reminded yet again that she was about to deal with one of the strongest known beings, 'I really hope there's a chance for talk as Kisuke had said.' Making sure that she didn't even touch anything inside the log cabin, Yoruichi just stood near the entrance waiting for the Evie. But even with Yoruichi's presence being revealed, she waited for more than an hour before she could finally see the Evie walking casually towards her.
"My~ I wasn't expecting a guest at all. And certainly not someone from the Draconic Deus." The Evie's gentle eyes instantly turned sharp, "Even if you are Kisuke Urahara's partner, aren't you risking both of our livelihoods too much?"
Yoruichi didn't show any weakness despite coming face to face with her and said in Evie's language with great accuracy and precision, "I really apologize for suddenly showing up. Although I did my best to cover my tracks, I can't deny the fact that there's a very slim chance that I'm followed. However, I do believe that you can handle the risk better than Stralit Luxeux."
Yoruichi and the Evie stared at each other for a few moments before the latter sighed in defeat, "How did you come here?" But before the former could answer, the Evie raised her hand, "Wait, before that, let's head inside and secure the area for any potential eyes and ears."

Seraselbes prepared the same tea that she offered to Kisuke for Yoruichi and after the latter had taken a sip of the strangely fragrant and delicious tea, Yoruichi first introduced herself properly, "Nice to meet you, Seraselbes. I'm Yoruichi Shihouin and I came today on Kisuke's behalf."
"I'm Seraselbes. It's also a pleasure to become your acquaintance. I didn't think it would be today, though. So can you please tell me how you came in? I want to fix the vulnerability or maybe abandon this place if it's unredeemable."
"Kisuke rigged the location of the 36th node on his way back and before he went on his trip, he passed me a bit of Stralit Luxeux's [Shadow] to go through the verification process of each node coming here."
Seraselbes furrowed her eyebrows and said, "But I didn't reveal to him that Stralit's [Shadow] is needed to transverse those Space Gates and I'm sure neither Stralit herself would leak such a thing."
"Out of all people I know, Kisuke is one of the most sensitive to the movement of Spiritual Power and that's even amplified by his own devices. In a desolate place where there's nothing happening, it wouldn't be weird for him to notice the verification if it pertains to the movement of Spiritual Power, especially if it's not of his own."
'I underestimated him...' Seraselbes thought to herself before saying, "And who else knows about this?"
"Aside from myself, one of the girls close to me and Kisuke. This is, of course, just for my own security in case you've thought of erasing me here."
Seraselbes sneered at her while releasing a bit of her aura, "I think a strange man suddenly appearing beside my closest friend is enough of a threat, don't you think?"
Yoruichi, however, was unphased, "Redundancy for something important as this meeting was necessary. I apologize for taking this step, but I don't regret it. Nevertheless, if you can trust my words, all knowledge about this node and the path here will be taken to our graves."
After that, silence ensued with no one talking for a few minutes.
Seraselbes thought of taking this woman as a hostage to control Kisuke and to offset his ability to suddenly appear beside Stralit. However, she decided against it after seeing how careful she is about things. After all, she had already seen how Kisuke manipulated a fake body and she couldn't really tell if Yoruichi was doing the same thing right now.
If she is and Seraselbes suddenly attacked her, it'll be a losing game for her and she would have no cards against Kisuke in addition to making an enemy out of him.
Although Evies are generally stronger than their Etouldes counterparts, Evies don't really understand Spiritual Power nor have any ability to manipulate it even after conversion technology that could copy a being's original ability after analyzing their bodies and reconstructing it as an Evie. This is the reason why the Etouldes could stand toe to toe with them on their home planet.
"And what do you hope to achieve by meeting me like this?" Seraselbes decided to move the conversation forward, hoping that she'll find something she could use to take back some control.
"A path to the Etouldes and all the information I may need to navigate it."
