When Sara's PET came back online, The first words out of it were as follows.
"Listen buddy. We don't have time for your little game. In case you haven't noticed, the world's about to end. So, you can either help us prevent that, or you can go down for interfering with an ongoing ONB investigation. Which is it?"
Sara, still recovering from being blinded by the flash, didn't move or say anything.__________________________________________ "From here, things can only get better." __________________________________________________ Current Music: My Thoughts:

Rainman turned around to see a familar face, or rather ball of fur. It was Roze, although Rainman wasn't sure if he could exactly classify him (or her) as a friend yet.
"Wait...Does this mean the PET I'm in is somewhere else?" Rainman asked Roze.

Hado was walking around Kotobuki, Hado can now see why the place was so popular, it was obvious that the side effects from the even that had taken plays centuries ago still had an after effect on the city. Hado turned around and heard a old man shouting some random gibberish into a cellphone before storming off into a eerie building. Hado pursued because plot.

"Hm."
Cherish was somewhat pleased to see Sara was alright, but disappointed she trusted this guy (who was apparently a friend of that other guy that was apparently the brother to that other girl that apparently just blew up... how confusing) so easily. But then again, should she be surprised that Sara made what -- in Feint's mind -- was a poor decision?
As for Orph, his noteworthy traits narrowed down his physical composition to only two possibilities, but she had plenty of information on angel-face after the last fifteen seconds of activity. The NIA operative and his explosive sister demanded more attention at the moment, and fortunately the later of the two was able to negate the first one's threat with her quite flashy (literally) departure.
"Netopian Intelligence Agency has no jurisdiction in Electopia. Joke's on you."
But really, the joke was on Cherish.
One of their members (at the very least, a member's relative) was able to get in under her nose -- in Feint's mind, Tenma may as well have been an NIA spy infiltrating her mission. And how dumb she felt right now for letting it happen.
This is why she had trust issues. Who else in their little gang was an imposter, she wondered.
Before Cherish could continue though, Sara's PET booted back up and Serix sort of captured the mysterious man's attention from there.
"Listen buddy, blah blah blah, Which is it?"
... Well that's all Cherish heard during that speech.
Back to Orph.
Cherish examined him closely as the mysterious man's attention was preoccupied. Specifically, she wanted to note his reaction to Tenma's sudden flash and disappearance.
And ofcourse while she was at it, she scanned the hallway in the far corner of the room to see if there were any more doors or people coming.

Octavius simply laughs at Sara's retort, as she claims to be carrying an investigation. Flipping his gun as he draws it and places it on Sara's forehead. "Ma'am, I am Octavius W. Ochanomizu, the Deputy Commissioner for the NIA. AND you've just put not only yourself, but the lives of other innocents at major risk. INCLUDING MY LITTLE SISTER! Now, you better make amends, or I could have your rank revoked and send you to the Netopian Maximum Security Penitentiary with no bail in about five minutes."Spinning his gun again, the man, of distinct Choinese descent, points at Cherish. "And as for you, I believe that under Electopia's STRICT Gun Control laws, that little toy you're carrying is 99% illegal! As an NIA officer, I could arrest you, seeing as you've both done your best to ruin a multi-million Zenny infiltration mission against a major Netopian terrorist group- but seeing as you've made it this far, and the ONBrat has already knocked out one of our enemies, y'all are gunna help me."Looking down the hallway, Feint sees stairs.

"..."
Feint's eyes furrowed as Octavius pointed his gun at Sara's forehead. That girl was a magnet for trouble, AND HOPEFULLY SHE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING RASH AND UNREASONABLE LIKE THE LAST TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED, but Cherish kept that thought to herself as discreetly as possible. (Hint, hint, nudge, hint hint, nudge nudge nudge, hint, nudge -- no seriously, don't try judi-chopping this guy -- /hint).
The name Ochanomizu rang a bell -- Cherish's father kept her informed of his affairs better than they let off.
Her eyebrows were no less curled as the gun was now pointed at her.
"I'm Netopian, and I have a permit to carry this. Fortunately, that makes the 1% matter more than the ninety-nine."
She didn't draw the weapon though. Heck, even if she went for it, the guy was only a finger-pull's distance away from ending that attempt. The disadvantage of being held at gunpoint was pretty real right now.
"So for an Intelligence Agency operative, you're awfully talkative about what I can only assume to be classified information."
His invitation (or more like his command) only extended to two of them though. All thing considered, Cherish's only mission was to get the others to the top of a very specific building in this city -- not herself. To that extent, she was beginning to think this wasn't even the right building.
As a spy, you live to obtain more information. And sometimes you need to put your neck on the line to do it, even if it means helping somebody you don't trust; somebody you plan will, at the very least, double cross you when all was said and done.
Judging by what she'd seen -- random mishaps and mistakes aside -- she believed Shakeem was capable enough of getting the Navis to where they needed to go for Tornadoman's special little quest. And if nothing else, Sara was at least ballsy enough to be an important asset of that little team (not to mention she had one of the strongest Navis of the present time in her PET), especially in Feint's stead.
So she'd bite the bullet here; she'd take on this obstacle so that the rest of the group could go about the main mission.
"I'll help you out, sure. But just me -- Sugar Cube and I don't work well together anyway."

“Nothing…”
Xenneth could not say he was unhappy. At least there was no trap, right?
“Download any data left on this terminal, Megami-chan. I’m plugging you out!”
Jameson had been very helpful. At least the violet haired boy could say he felt comfortable not being alone. However, now, he was starting to grow worried. Although the crazy woman was gone and the rest of the crew were making their way through the area, Xenneth wanted to catch up right now. He only hoped the map he downloaded onto the P.E.T. link was very helpful to the rest of the rag-tag-band of merry men. Now that he thought about it, they did sound like a bunch of cliché breakfast club superhero clique.
“E-excuse me, right quick! I-I am…going to look ahead.”
Xenneth noted this to Jameson as he ran by and went to the edge of the hall. He peeked around the corner, seeing no one at all. A few steps presented a lone door and a clear floor of anything nearby. “Megami,” Xenneth whispered, “Please, scour through that data and see if you can find anything.”
“I already am, Xen-kun!”
That reply felt good!
Xenneth all of the sudden felt important. Like one of those agents he would see on T.V. going against the goods to save the world. He was not professional at all, but he at least tried to play the role. Crouching low and staying to the wall in a nervous manner. His finger tips met the surface of the wall he leaned on as he continued forth…
”Oooooo~”
A ghastly moan halted his footsteps.
“Megami-chan…I hear something. Did…did you find anything out about this place?”
“Ooooo~”
There it was again! Seriously! Was this place haunted?!
Xenneth broke a sweat! Was this what danger felt like? The violet-haired boy swallowed deeply as he was at the edge of the hall in the corner. The sounds were sending a shiver down his spine. He knew not where they were coming from…but they were close! He felt it! The violet haired boy had gazed forth as he was paralyzed. On the edge is where he stayed as the sounds kept coming and yet there was no reply from Megami.
“Megami-chan! Is this place some sort of experimental lab? Are they some occult?! Megami-chan?!”
“Oooooo~”
“Megami-chan! Do you hear that?!” Xenneth quickly snatched his P.E.T. to gaze at the screen of his P.E.T. looking for his NetNavi. “Megami-chan?!”
*SMACK!!!*
”Oooooh! Yeah! Give it to me! Right there baby!”
“Xen-kun…this is very complex…” The female NetNavi stared at an open video file as she spoke, “This Pizza Man clearly loves this woman…but yet, I do not come to understand why he keeps smacking her on the rear with that wooden instrument.”
Xenneth’s eye twitched looking at the NetNavi…and not to mention the video that was playing and echoing down the hallway.
“Perhaps…she has done something wrong.”
Xenneth’s eye twitched again.
“Megami! What on Earth are you watching and where did you get it?!”
“Well, it was in a file called ‘Spank Bank’, ” Megami exclaimed, “I thought perhaps we would access some of the records and finances of this location. That way, it would give us an idea of who these people are. From what I gather, a very lucrative Pizza Man and his misbehaved mistress are apart of this operation. We should confront him Xen-kun…we should find this tempered Pizza Man.”
In mere seconds, Xenneth felt less like an agent and more like…what are they called? Oh, right! An idiot! Turning the volume down on his P.E.T. to virtually inaudible levels, he knocked his head lightly against the wall, not even knowing how close Shakeem and Sara were around the corner…and God forbid if they caught any of that humiliation.

As everything unfolded,Shakeem glanced from the smoldering ashes to the man who currently held Sara at gunpoint...and from the sound of things,he wasn't someone they'd fight if they had an ounce of intelligence. There seemed to be more and more questions related to their mystery 'helper' now...
'How in the heck did she do that...?!' he thought to himself. Though with this not being a 'normal' area...'I'd be surprised if we didn't somehow bump into her somewhere in here...'
Casting a glance at the man known as Orph,he wondered exactly what the guy was made of since he not only blocked the Mettool,but he somehow had ties with this Intelligence Agency too...!
But mysteries and unspoken questions would have to sit on the backburner for now. As Cherish agreed to take part in a different mission,Shakeem silently watched their interactions. From Sara and Cherish,he knew that saying too much would drag him into the mix too...possibly.
Hopefully,the NIA's current operation would clear the way for their separate mission...

"Alright. You want to do this the easy way or the hard way. The easy way is that you remove this little squirt gun from my presence. The hard way, your little national agency, which is outranked by an international agency like the ONB, will be looking for bits and pieces of you all over this room."
She didn't move, but merely waited for this man to respond. Given how quickly the others had seen her move before, she doubted that any of them would doubt her ability to turn this person into wet chunks and red sauce.__________________________________________ "From here, things can only get better." __________________________________________________ Current Music: My Thoughts:

"Aah, miss, the information actually isn't classified at all. The NIA has a strict policy of transparency and you could find the details of this mission on our website. Comes with our association with 「The Association」.
Roze."
With a beep and a light, the PET on the man's belt began to scan the internet, and gather information about the woman ahead of the silver haired young man. With another beep shortly, he had everything necessary to know her past, and then some. Without so much as looking at his PET, he started listing facts and details about his annoyance.
"Sara Charloton alias Sara Maxwell. Served two years in Gigamerica. Got off for bad behaviour. Surprisingly let into Green Tempest, a low-level Creamland ONB Branch. Quite possibly THE least powerful local ONB branch due to the existing infrastructure and relationship with Sharonian government. Blood type O+. A tad out of type, I'd have thought you a B.
Registered Navi is Serix.executable Identification CO29714. Research navi, OH WOW, released due to 「Tenma Protocol」. Previous work includes casino waitressing and Green Tempest security and miscellaneous activities.
Known activities within recent months include reconstruction work in Creamland as well as what is being tentatively called the 「Juno Incident」. Not AT ALL suspicious.
In a stable relationship with- oh. Sorry for your loss.
Roze."
Another series of beeps and lights later, the man started again.
"And now you no longer exist. I'll inform your next of kin. Oh, and it's not good form to threaten the man with the gun. Poor form."
Since that little legal snaggle was covered, Octavius' next concern was with the fact that even more people seemed to be showing up, this time some pervert watching illicit materials on his PET.
"Exactly how many of you idiots are there?" He mentioned offhand to Cherish.
Recovering slightly from his bewilderment at all the idiots, Octavius then explains that the missions of the two groups generally were within the same operational parameters. They were both attempting to fight off Gate, though Octavius' mission existed strictly within reality's realm - top scientists were working on the whole deadly radiation business as fast as they could, but MagnoMetal was not cheap, nor in abundance.
Key Terms (Ask About Them!)
「Tenma Protocol」 「Juno Incident」 「The Association」

"Exactly how many of you idiots are there?"
"Why don't you ask your belt?"
An awkward place to store a PET. That aside, the little plastic phone seemed to know an awful lot about the still-too-ballsy Sara over there. And as for the noises coming from the hallway (from Xen's PET) -- Cherish just didn't pay attention to that for now. Her attention was pretty hard to sway when it was locked in on anything in particular.
Call it concern, but she refused to admit it: 'The Association' had a brief encounter with her dad not too long ago. It'd be nice to know what it was all about, or rather, what they even wanted from him (if anything at all, anymore).
"Or why don't I start asking it some questions. I don't have a PET; I can't just access the internet and find out about your Association that's so public and transparent. So you wouldn't mind summing it up and saving me the trouble, right? Roze?"
Tenma Protocal and Juno Incident. If they weren't all connected, she'd start inferring about those as well.

Shakeem glanced at Sara as the agent revealed more information on her than was necessary. Whatever their 'Association' was seemed to have their hands on a wideload of data...
As he mentioned that she 'no longer existed',Shakeem presumed he had just deleted that info...or something similar to it. After-all,most data was either backed up or even stored somewhere for safekeeping.
Ignoring the 'idiot' remark,Shakeem rubbed his chin thoughtfully and looked towards Octavius.
"Hmm...what exactly is this 'Tenma Protocol',by the way...? First time I've heard about that..."
From his navi,Glassman,being there at Shell Network and the other Network that it was linked to...Shakeem should've known about the 'Juno Incident'...but Glassman hadn't stuck around for the mystery data's reveal...
'The Association' seemed like an interesting topic for them to inquire about as well...but he'd take things one step at a time for now.

This was awkward.
Everyone had seemed to gather, and Xenneth was only within an earshot away and, as usual, being left behind on everything. His steps as he approached the group for behind was stealthy and silent, but more of like a timid school boy than some secret agent. The violet haired boy stopped right behind the group, pretending like he had been there the whole time, if anything hoping that no one heard his approach from either that obscene video or his disgraceful trot.
“Just be quiet for a moment, Megami-chan…” Xenneth whispered, “We’ll look into what you found later.”
He wouldn’t.
The violet haired boy treated her like a child at times: pretending to garner interest when in fact he would later have to teach her about the world. Putting the P.E.T. on mute, wishing to not take his chances trusting Megami with the audio again, Xenneth stood amongst the group listening as he turned left and right to see them gazing at this well-trimmed and dressed individual in uniform.
Just what had he missed exactly?

"Hm....well, guess I should thank you for that. You just made my job a lot easier. After all, a ghost can't be arrested."
Saying this, Sara backed up a bit, and fell through the hole. When she landed, she made sure to roll in order to lessen the impact. Her next objective, of course, was to find the group's missing number and see if she could calm her down. As she came to her feet, she looked around, trying to take in her surroundings.

Rainman opened his eyes again to find out that he was in a different area...again.
"Oh come on really? I mean, FREAKING REALLY!?!?" Rainman yelled as stomped the ground while shouting out a ton of bad words that mothers all over the world would NOT approve off.

Hado was now slowly crawling around the building slowly, it was ridiculous why he was doing this, although he felt some higher authority speaking into his mind that he should continue this way. The building was humid and had a sense of dread around every corner, just like how it was outside.
It was starting to feel like Hado was getting deeper in some sort of STORY for reasons he couldn't explain at the moment. This building was a maze, it didn't exactly help that this was the first time Hado was inside the building.
Door after door, hallway after hallway, It felt like Hado was going in circles. The only thing Hado had to protect himself was a mop he found in a janitor office. Eventually Hado found a room with a dim light coming out of it. Hado watched from a few feet away and saw the man he found earlier yelling at a bunch of people.

As they ask their questions, the building again shakes, and the lighting begins to flicker and fade. "Looks like we don't have much time! Orph, take these kids or whatever and get to the Link Server, we need tot take down Gate fast! Our covers our blown... hurry!"Pointing towards Feint and gesturing to follow, Octavius comes to the edge of the hole. "The Association for Ethics in Science and Disaster Prevention, is our full qualification, but people just call it The Association. 'buncha white coats making sure that navis like Eon don't go prancing around again - remember how that went down last time? Notsogood."Ending his short exposition, he dives down the hole. Two options present themselves: Pronoia Follow Orph and defeat Gate! Shut down his connection to the meteor server, but beware... ancient secrets will reveal themselves, and not all as as it seems!
