[color=tomato]"And I thought [i]I[/i] was the super baka."[/color]

[color=888888]— Mika Fang[/color][/center]

[@Ponn][@Majoraa]

When Ashley asked Mika if Fritzi knew about her plan, she slowly shook her head. [color=tomato]"She knows I found something. I didn’t tell her what it was. It’s hard to get her by herself."[/color] It wasn’t that Dr Moller wasn’t trustworthy, she just surrounded herself with a lot of people. Whoever the mole was, they were someone that she trusted very much. Thus, keeping her discovery a secret from the doctor was a must. Maybe that was the wrong call, but at least Mika knew Ashley and Finn weren’t moles. It wasn’t totally impossible, she supposed. But as much as Ashley and Finn drove her nuts, she didn’t feel like they would make for good double agents. 

That didn’t mean they weren’t going to find their own ways to sabotage the operation. Ashley decided [i]now[/i] was the best time to press Finn about his relationships. He retaliated with all the maturity someone of his age was afforded. Maybe Himiko was right, but Mika wasn’t ready to admit it. 

[color=tomato]"Can we talk about the mole without bringing up Timekeeper’s girl friends?"[/color] It was something Mika was personally done hearing about, and didn’t feel like wasting more time on someone that absolutely wasn’t worth it. [color=tomato]"And maybe don’t do the chuuni act? I’m being serious guys…"[/color] Hopefully there wouldn’t be any more incidents. [color=tomato]"So our prime moles are Binky and Faith. I trust Timekeeper didn’t tell Betty our mission. If I remember correctly, he met with her before the meeting and didn’t see her again until [i]after[/i] it concluded, right?"[/color] Mika hated coddling Finn like this. There were a lot of reasons why she detested it, but the main one is that she had to acknowledge that Ashley was the more mature one of the two of them. [color=tomato]"Has anyone spent any time with either one of them? Faith always acts weird to me and I haven’t personally spoken with Binky. What should we do?"[/color] 

They didn’t have long to devise a plan. The others would be joining them shortly.

As bewildered as the dragon looked at Himiko’s comments, that confusion seemed to melt away as soon as Marrie started talking. Boteg grinned and his head bobbed up and down. [color=gold]”’Tis most splendid to be called ‘chill.’ Thou art most right! Methinks asking for thy blood tis most unusual. If thou wish to devour captain crunch, go to the glass rectangle and get a chewy block!”[/color] 

This seemed to pacify Himiko [s]Or the shita just forgot to post[/s] and Ciri was too busy being antisocial to respond. But there was someone present that [i]wasn’t[/i] too antisocial to respond .

[color=CCBFFF]”’Hey girls!”[/color] Trixy gave everyone a big wave. One so big that it might have even shamed Marrie with how big it was. It was a full hundred and eighty degree wave, and her feet practically left the ground with every swing of her arm. [color=CCBFFF]”’You guys must be the freelancers! I’m Trixy! Boteg here is going to fly us over to Crazy Train, at which point you guys and Ciri are going to hop off. Then I’m going to stay with Boteg and keep him safe. The other Mavericks are going to join us later via cars, but you guys need to figure out what has this behemoth so upset and see if we can rectify it.”[/color] She rubbed her chin. [color=CCBFFF]”’Like maybe it’s giving birth, or it wants to meet up with the other train for a hot date. I dunno, monsters are weird sometimes. But if we can find out what it wants, we can calm it down.”[/color]

When the two late arriving espers arrived, Raphael turned to look at them, but answered Noah first.

[b][color=silver]”Yes, you are the last ones to arrive. Though while you have arrived late, I suppose it was inevitable. The storm made getting here a little difficult, didn’t it?’”[/color][/b] He folded his massive arms. [b][color=silver]”But none of the other factions have acted yet, so we still have time. Would the lot of you like to get introduced?’”[/color][/b] 

The other freelance espers would turn to look at the newly arrived. Both Noah and Asher might be taken back by what they saw. For Noah, it would be that there were four other nun espers not unlike herself. For Asher, it would be that these nuns had tried to kill him in the last operation they were on. Though one of them a [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/023/795/979/large/onion-2.jpg?1580363293]nun wearing little more than a habit and some wraps[/url] seemed to be a new addition, or just wasn’t present during the attack. Or maybe she was present, and she had just gone unnoticed? 

[b]”We’re familiar with this one, anyway!”[/b] Lenore stepped up to Asher and stuck out her hand. [b]”No hard feelings about last time, right? We’re freelancers, and we’re all in it for the money in the end. Bobo might be scowling right now, but she won’t shoot you unless you shoot her first.”[/b] She winked. 

Nova and the new nun were grinning right along with Lenore, but Bobo wasn’t smiling. [b]”Small world.”[/b] she groaned.

Raphael looked between Lenore and Asher. [b][color=silver]”Is there a problem?’”[/color][/b]

The new nun strutted past Asher and approached Noah. She was a tall woman, and her massive head dress made her seem taller still. [b]”Well, these are all new faces to me.”[/b] A smirk crossed her lips as she, too, extended her hand to shake Noah’s [b]”I’m Lexi, and the four of us make up Black Sabbath.”[/b]
