Äs Nödt is sitting in the Literal Hall inside the Silbern palace, where all of the other Quincy Sternritter and their subordinates have gathered for a very important meeting. His eyes scan the room silently, taking in the familiar faces of everyone there, his comrades, some more annoying than others.

Soon Yhwach enters the room quietly yet the atmosphere instantly becomes thick and palpable. He sits down and after a silent moment of brooding during which he gathers everyone's attention, he speaks;

"I have an announcement for you all... There will be a new Quincy here at Silbern. They are a distinguished guest and you WILL ALL welcome them warmly, without an ounce of hostility... They are very important to our mission and to our race as Quincy..."

He pauses, swallows, strokes his beard and says one more shocking thing;

"They are an Echt Quincy."
