It looked like things had started to heat up back there, but Marrie seemed to be fine so far. So she might as well leave them all to it for the time being. [h1][/h1] But she couldn’t help but to feel a little tinge of disappointment about what she found at the head of the train. More burns, without much else that really stuck out from anything else she had observed so far. Tracing her eyes across each burnt spot carefully as she took her time walking to get closer to each spot and get a closer view. [h1][/h1] Yep, it was likely that extra esper that was with nuns that had done this bit of handiwork if Himiko had to guess. They must have been attacking the train before Maverick ever arrived, judging on the first thing she did when Maverick did show up. [h1][/h1] That seemed to solve one part of the mystery about the behavior of Crazy Train. She found it hard to believe that it was a coincidence that she found more burn marks, and there was a flame esper throwing fire at them the moment they arrived. If she had to guess, they used the balloon as a platform to keep up with Crazy Train, having that one esper pelt it with fire over and over again. With Mavericks' arrival interrupting the process of their attempt to kill it. [h1][/h1] These nuns did seem to find a way of getting around, always ahead of the competition, be it GEMINI or Maverick. It was clear they had a good intel system, one that had its hooks buried deep into GEMINI and potentially Maverick as well. During her last encounter it had been easy to surmise that GEMINI has a mole within it. Whether that same mole knew about Crazy Train through GEMINI, which seemed the most likely explanation. Unless, Maverick had a mole problem of its own. [h1][/h1] Regardless it was just another example of the broken system that this world found itself in. A world that Himiko one day hoped to redefine and redraw the lines of society. It was clear that the current system was only repeating the same cycle, and it was about time someone threw a monkey wrench into it. [h1][/h1] Shrugging her shoulders as she let out a reluctant sigh [color=fff200]“I s’pose I found what I needed to find up here….and I may as well head back to where the action is at, just in case….”[/color] Taking one last good look around her surroundings to make sure there wasn’t anything she had overlooked. Turning now to make her way back to where she had left Marrie and the interlopers. Taking her time in doing so, with a slow walk as her eyes shifted side to side across her path of travel. Observing as much of every inch of Crazy Train that she could while she had the brief moment of peace.
