"All breeds report to the gym for mission simulation!" Was broadcast through the PA system.

Roxy stood eagerly stood. She was ready to see what she was now capable of . Roxy was slightly intrested in seeing what her teammates could do. She didn't know anything about their talents and abilities.

He watched the stranger, Clifton, saunter off towards a younger looking girl who'd been sitting uncomfortably close for awhile, and waved off. "Go for it dude." He replied before the green-haired guy disappeared from his line of sight. He squished down on the handle of his fork until he managed to pop a tomato off his plate, the little scrap of food sailing in the perfect arc before careening into somebody's hair. Caufman pushed his chair in and made himself scarce.

The salad was slipped in the trash, and he managed to nick the crumpled box of orange juice too once his rather confident visitor had left the scene. He wasn't sure what to even think about that guy. Was he for real or just fooling with him? The whole thing about him being a top-class hacker sounded about as legitimate as watching Kangaroo Jack and calling it a documentary. But he did look familiar... Caufman didn't read the newspaper or anything but he'd seen the face before, and heard the name.

Anyway, the announcements blared out a call and Caufman was on his way. He thought he could see the brunette up ahead, and his steps began to quicken.

Hitomi looked up when she herd a shout and growled slightly when she saw clifton by the shy girl "Son of a...Clifton is preying on the shy girl" before she got up and walked over to clifton and griped his left shoulder as tightly as she could.

"Stop thinking with your lower head and leave us girls alone Clifton unless you want a forced gender change during practice missions" Hitomi says hostily trying to keep the shy girls pureity safe and to block clifton's attempts at the girl.

Clifton made a mental note to hijack a satellite and crash it into Hitomi at a later date. "We'll see who castrates who, lady," mocked Clifton with contemptuous contempt. He turned back towards Brusenna. "The name's Clifton Fumbledum. I know you won't be forgetting it.." With a heroic flick of his wrist, he brushed off Hitomi's aluminum grip and strutted to the gym. He could feel his stoat loins burning deep within. They would not fail him today.

"Stay away from that pervert...if you ever need someone to help keep you safe look for me name's Hitomi the red fox or look for Roxy the panther over there" Hitomi says as she points to roxy while also letting the girl the same age as herself know what animal they are.

Roxy leaned against the gym wall as she waited for the others to arrive. The scientist was preparing their notes. Their mission would be to gather information and destroy the source. It was a simple mission but it was a start.

Tobias lurched into the gym after finishing with lunch, nodded to Roxy who was already there, and promptly threw up all over the floor. Too much fish. It was hard to maintain the body mass of a walrus when he still had a human form as well. "Whoopsies! Too much to eats, it seems!" He offered with a weak chuckle and a fake grin. He would never forgive the Americans for this treatment. As a couple of the staff came to clean up his mess, Tobias squinted with the devilish squintiness of a man who was up to trickery. Quick as a mountain hare, he swiped a key card from one of the janitor's belts. He may need it later.

The door to the gym swung open and shut, and Caufman pushed his way inside just after the woman in front, working his way towards a free bench. This time he managed to wave to her, using the arm that did not currently feel like it'd just been stuck inside a box of needles. His sneakers squeaked over the flooring and he sat down on the bench cross-legged, his eyes roaming the entirety of the gym. Without thinking about it he was already twiddling his thumbs, something he only did whenever he was feeling nauseous.

And the lights were too bright. Again. He adjusted his cap, sitting it lower over his brow to block out as much of the ceiling as he could.

After awhile, he turned towards the brunette-haired woman. She was currently leaned against the wall. He gave a crooked smile only he would ever find truly remotely charming or handsome, careful not to show any teeth or lack thereof. It disappeared as soon as Walrus-man started puking all over the floor. Caufman wrinkled his nose, covering his mouth. "Jeez man, the hell?"

Christ, he could almost taste it. He only lowered his hand once the clean-up crew had disposed of the mess, but his skin by that time had already thinned to a sickly white.

Roxy rolled her eyes discussed at Tobias got sick all over the floor. "Eat in your animal form again? When are you going to learn your body can't handle as much as a Walrus?" Roxy held out her hand. "Oh and give me the card."

Momentarily stunned at Roxy's awareness of what he just did, Tobias could only stand there, gaping like a ludicrous fool. Finally he stammered, "Y-Yes! Much apologies, kitty-cat lady, only was playing a trick! You'll not tells anyone, yes?" He gave the card to Roxy and awkwardly shuffled to a far corner of the room. This was humiliation most foul. It was clear his plans were not going to work alone. He needed allies...

Roxy shook her head at Tobias' foolishness. She didn't understand why he agreed to the program if he did not want to stay here. Maybe he simply liked the challenge of trying to escape. Either way he would have to work harder then that if he wanted his plans to work. It was hard to fool a criminal. Roxy watches Tobias shuffle to the corner." Odd boy."

"You can say that again." Caufman hung his head down, letting everything but the light enter his sights. Even speaking aloud drew an overload from his tongue receptors and the odd sense of fishy smells and tastes caused a surge of gooseflesh to bump up along his skin. Scraping off flakes of dried out skin from his hand, he concentrated on the center of the gym. Just awaiting orders nothing to see here. Everything is fine and dandy.

He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and stuffed his hands back in his pockets.

"All right Breeds. We're going to see if you can work as a unit to accomplish a goal. This is going to be pretty straight forward, so you should be able to complete the mission easily. The goal is to recover the data. The data included information on each of you. You must also destroy those who have collected the data. You must complete these tasks without attracting attention to yourselves or leaving evidence linking you to the crime. Understood?" The head scientist explains.

Issa nodded and gave the girl a small shy, but grateful smile as she threw her trash away and hurried to the the gym. She soon arrived and the tiny girl found a corner away from everybody to stand in. She didn't mean to seem like she was distancing herself from everyone but she just wasn't good around people. She wasn't before the change and now, with cat genes coursing through her that caused her to be wary of everything didn't help in the slightest.

"Got it Boss." He stood up, slipping off his hoodie and cap to leave them resting in a crumpled pile on the bench. It was time to impress miss so-called crazy brunette. Caufman tugged down the ends of the red t-shirt he'd been wearing under his hood and took strode down the floor, faking a smug smile on his face. The white band-aid on his arm still throbbed annoyingly, so he stood up straight as a razor, emphasizing his chest, drawing eyes away from that ugly blight on his otherwise average figure (not his choice of words, but more truthful than anything he would have proclaimed.) "Don't attract attention? Psh, I've got this in the bag - uh - Sir."

Clifton's body was ready. Not even the putrid fish vomit covering everything in the room could possibly distract him.With an excited squeak, he morphed into stoat mode and began his stoat war dance in anticipation.

"First you need to decide who is do siding what. You have to hours to complete this mission. The Breed with the best performance will receive a reward." The scientist said before leaving the room.

"Idiot this is a team mission not a solo mission for you to try and be all macho" Hitomi says as she walks in and stands next to roxy before whispering to roxy,"Keep an eye of clifton he was trying to advance on the shy girl and from the comments he made before leaving after i confronted him it was of a sexual nature so please keep an eye on him and make sure the shy girl stays safe okay?" the concern for the shy girl was clear in her voice and eyes.

Roxy nods narrowing her eyes at Clifton. She did not like bullies. Especially bullies who try to take advantage of helpless young girls. Roxy had been had been a helpless young girl once so shy knew how the shy cat girl felt. The difference was that Roxy was no longer so helpless. "He will feel the sting of my knife if I catch him."

She didn't sound like she was joking either.

"Then I just hope you can catch up with me, ma'am." He replied to the redhead. If he was still wearing his cap, Caufman would have tipped it. From afar, he could see the scientist leaving the room, leaving their rag-tag team to face whatever simulation was about to be brought up on them. He wasn't sure whether the chill down his spine was from adrenaline or vomit. And his vision was slowly fading out, de-saturating, while he shifted from foot to foot in anticipation. The redhead had a point - he was probably laying it on thick, if only to attract the attention of the brunette next to him. And yet, he wasn't about to make himself look like a fool in front of these people either. A wimp was already dead in his books.

With this in mind, he immediately turned to face the group, rubbing the palms of his hands together. "Right then, so anyone got a plan? Anyone?"
