I took a break for a few years after adopting Vivio. Concentrated on my instructor duties and office work so I could recover after an injury, but also to make sure I could be home to take care of my little girl. But just before I was pulled here, I was called up to active duty again by an old friend.

[Having to leave Vivio behind wasn't much fun, but Nanoha was the only person who could use the Fortress and the rest of the anti-anti-magic equipment were not nearly ready yet, so even if she wanted to refuse the call, she couldn't.]
