[hr]
Tsuki was always proud of her surrogate child's ability to observe, she figured a lot of it had stemmed from having to basically survive in a figurative "land of giants", at his age. A memory surfaced of what she had been like at his age and she silently thanked the gods as she watched Ren work out what she and the "others" had surmised. Of course nothing was guaranteed but Ren's correct assessment with no prior knowledge about how weird the "cargo" they were storing away, was worrying Tsuki enough that she felt like maybe, just maybe, there really was something deeper happening with the Forgotten. However before Tsuki, could praise him, the other gang members began filing in, quite the colorful group she had collected over the last five years, but the correct group to trust her back too.

Akane had been first to enter, despite not being present for the call to meet, and had successfully retrieved one of the two shipments that the Autoshop had reported as a no show. She figured someone up the delivery chain got a bit handsy and originally she was going to handle it. But Mich's insistence, coupled with reassurance from Ren that he would handle any potential...mishaps was enough for Tsukiyama to let Akane go on her first solo mission. Though she neglected to let the fox eared woman know that the shipments had been insured and were already in route to the Kurotori building. Or the fact that it really was to send a message to any other potentially grubby handed imports manager to stay the fuck away from shit with the Kurotori's name on it. The iron smell wafting off her blade, was confirmation enough that Tsuki choose the better option in not telling her, heavens only know what phone calls she would be getting otherwise. A glance to Mich, who quickly did a scan of the local Jaeger Radio Frequency, coupled with only a message on the Sakanoshita 5 News network displaying that some type of electrical explosion had happened in Sector 5 of the District, exactly where the shipments had been tracked too. Mich's thumbs up, made Tsuki sigh with relief, and snap, teleporting the box into the Garage where JV would catalogue and put away the now extra parts they had "rescued". Tsuki motioned for Akane to come closer to the table "[b]I'm excited to hear what's become of the people brave enough to steal from me, but it'll have to be later, we're having a meeting in a few, just hang out for now[/b]". Out of everyone, Akane's relationship with Tsuki seemed to puzzle her the most. The fox woman could very easily be more than what Ren bargained for when he brought her home all those years ago, but she seemed to respect the old lady despite her loose cannon attitude and Tsukiyama certainly wasn't in the business of breaking what doesn't need fixing.

Quickly filing in after Akane, was Mumeiki, thought Tsuki had figured he would've been the first to show, given his attitude towards the gang. Even with Mich spending time to try and figure out, and help Mumeiki though the transition of "Freedom", Tsuki couldn't help but feel like the man was still following some level of command and was incapable of perceiving what he had as free will. Doubly so when Ren would absent mildly talk in hyperbole to the metal man. On multiple occasions, despite him being with the group the shortest amount of time, Tsuki was mystified in Mumeiki's absolute command following. No amount of explanation seemed to help so far, and Michiko was under the impression that he might still actually be locked behind a command from before Tsuki and Company had trapped him. Though she had prefaced all of this without having, or rather, not wanting to pry into the mans mind and body without his explicit permission. Some weird sense of Zero-Percenter comradery, or at least that's what Tsuki read between the lines on why Mich hadn't just opted too jump into Mumeiki's mind yet, despite the several months he had been working with them. She opted to give the man a smile and motion for him to get a bit closer as more would show up.

Frost's nonchalant behavior was refreshing to say the least, the huge woman reminding her of the "family" she was forced to leave ten years ago. She did miss it occasionally, not the Government bullshit, but the seemingly life long comrades she had fought and survived with for most of her life. She missed not having to be responsible for anything other than her squamate's and students. Now she couldn't go more than a day before something required her attention, even with the help she had brought in. Without them and Michiko? Tsuki shivered at the prospect of having to run the WHOLE operation herself again. When Frost had appeared with the other Jaeger's sent to kill her, it sort of sparked the idea that maybe it was time to expand her employee base, especially if the JF was breaking their deal and hunting her again. She winked at the woman in reply, before Michiko sat on the arm of the chair, bringing her legs up to her chest and resting her head on her knees, the preroll Tsuki had given her, hitting her like a ten ton truck.

[color=#9d0000]"I was worried when I saw how cheap they were selling it for, but I'm glad, come by room sometime later, I have more things I need you to try out for me"[/color] she stretched her upper body and sat back, propping her elbow, and by proxy, her head that came to rest on an open palm, on Frost's shoulder. Retracting the spikes up and down her body so they wouldn't poke the huge woman. Out of all the new gang members that had joined since Tsuki officially started operating under the Kurotori, Frost had been one of her favorite. She didn't seem to care that Mich was a chrome body, or that Mich had been exceptionally smaller then herself. And Frost love for guns had been a happy bonus that satisfied Mich's third qualifier for a potentially good friend. [color=#9d0000]"Mama and Boy Wonder recovered some information on some...weird irregularities in two of the main Forgotten Trafficking Hubs, though I think Ma is holding out until everyone gets here"[/color] a subtle nod from Tsuki at the projection table confirmed Mich's assumption. [color=#9d0000]"Oh and our Lieutenant here, from what I can gather, failed one of the infamous "Tsuki Stress Tests" but he was being broody about it so I'd leave that one alone"[/color] saying the last part a little quieter with a teasing smile, knowing full well that Ren could still probably hear her.

Tsuki sighed at the mention of the earlier argument that Ren and her seemed to closest right now, worried it might spark another argument but Shoshiku entering very quickly shifted her mind away from the comment, hoping Ren would follow suit. Shoshiku, much like Mumeiki and Michiko, was a testament to the horrifying capabilities of their day and age. When Mich had found the similarly tiny woman, and explained roughly what she was to Tsuki, Tsuki had figured Michiko joking. Just twenty years ago, someone like Shoshiku wouldn't have been as "functional" as she was. It would have been something not too dissimilar from Science Fiction, but there were moments when the woman's movements would remind Tsuki, she wasn't all just "herself". Mich offered a wave to Shoshiku to come sit with Frost and her on the enormous couch, no doubt Mich picking up that it would probably be easier for the little woman's body to take the stress of her body. The two had spent a lot of the previous missions together in the [url=https://i.ibb.co/tppqRHzP/Van.jpg]Van[/url] that Tsuki had bought for them both to use as a base out on missions. Though Tsuki hadn't been able to ask how that had been going in some time, and Mich never opted to bring it up in whatever little time the two spent alone together. 

A text from Enrique popped up on the projection table for Tsuki to see, apologizing for being late but to start the meeting without them. Tsuki only worried for a moment, before swiping the message away and turning to the Gang.

"[b]I hope everyone was using their free time well, if our Lieutenant and I turn out to be right about our assumption, I don't think we'll have much of it in the near future[/b]" turning to the table, she flicked two pictures up marked Site A and Site B:

The Forgotten's infamous Fight stadium and Night Club "The Losseum", once a hallmark Fighting Arena venue for the Y.U.F (Yokai'Kuma Ultimate Fighter), now turned by the Forgotten's Number 3 Boss, Korobei, into an illegal gladiator ring, with a pulsing adrenaline junkie attracting club around the lowered pit in the middle of the ground. Very much an enter at your own risk establishment, and they're said to average at least thirty "accidental" club-goer deaths a night. Yokai death matches, all out five versus five Y.G Brawls and the occasional Y.S.G Wave Survival match, were but a few of the various "Gladiator" games that can take place each night. The catch however, is that Gladiator's are all voluntary, building a "roster" of reoccurring fighters who have lived through the hell matches in the stadium. Thrill and fame seekers alike have flocked to the club, to join the infamous ranking screen, an enormous screen reaching from the bottom of the mock colosseum to the very top of the high walls, with a list of the top twenty gladiators of the current year. While the Gladiators wait for their respective matches, they employ the club as bouncers and security, and until now, it was always the assumption that The Losseum was dangerous enough to warrant so much security.

The information that Michiko was able to pull from the datashards revealed that the real reason for employing the volunteers was an unknowing front for guarding one of the four main trafficking hubs under Korobei's operation. An underground multi-purposed, labyrinth of halls, storage rooms, and various other facilities. This underground compound is one of the biggest trafficking hubs from what Michiko could uncover without the two other datashards lost in the previous mission Tsukiyama and Ren had gone on. It also appeared to be involved in some level of research and developments in god knows what, considering the person in charge of it's operations. As such, not only is the security above the facility stacked with anywhere from 10-20 Gladiators waiting for their matches or passing the time and separate security team of ten Y.G and five Y.S.G holders, but an equally stacked team waits below for any possible signs of trouble. State of the art camera and motion detection systems are layered through out the facility and a small "army" of fifty men patrol and protect the facility and it's assets from anyone crazy enough to try and break in. There's no telling what other means of protecting the facility exist and Michiko wasn't certain whether the number of men and patrols was for intruders or for whatever was being locked away behind parts of the facility that even Mich couldn't get access too through the Datashard and would have to be on site to manually connect.

Boss Korobei doesn't visit, or operate the Hub and Club personally, however, he gave two powerful Y.G sibilings free reign to run the operation how they see fit, so long as they never lose any "product" and kept the business as profitable as possible. They only occasionally have to meet Korobei at his base of operations, or talk over the phone to touch base and check in with the man.

Renshu (Age 25) & Meilin Luó (Age 24), were born to the date and time, one year apart, and in some twisted way, made them kindred flames in everything but gender. Renshu and Meilin are both cruel, calculating and ferocious in the same way you'd feel if you happened to be stalked in the jungle by two tigers. They may not come from money, or business, but did they damn sure know how to run the Lossuem and are in large part the reason for all of it's success, both legal and not. Without Renshu's ability to control the earth where he touched, they wouldn't have been able to build not only a unique, but incredibly stable underground bunker, with the crushing weight of the colosseum and it's venue, maxing out at five thousand attendance limit. He also is responsible for it's confusing design of dead ends and double backs, being something like the only living map of the entire facility. Meilin however was the crux of the unique "monitoring" system, able to communicate, control and grow plants within a mile of herself instantly, she can use any plants, whether her own grown, or natural ones in the area to spy and see through said plants. She is constantly monitoring the entire facility and club itself and is in large part the biggest obstacle to a quiet approach. Both siblings have deep seeded appreciation and gratitude for Korobei, and will do ANYTHING short of killing each other, to satisfy and keep the man happy. He is the first person to see their value after all, though who knows if that was by design or not.

The "Stashhouse" is a 30 floor mega building that Korobei bought very quickly after him and the other three bosses came into power over the Forgotten. Some say it's the megabuilding that he grew up in, and he gained ownership in order to rid the building of it's more "Seedier" residents. And for the first 20 floors, this holds true in a way that the Stashhouse is often referred to by it's residents as a Sanctuary and as such are incredibly hostile to newcomers and intruders who don't live there. Of course this was all a front for the top ten floors, a brilliant idea that Boss Korobei came up with, using the tenants below to guard and keep watch for him. Each floor until the 20th floor, is much like it's own community, almost entirely shelf sufficient from the city outside the megabuilding. Each floor can hold anywhere from 200-500 tenants at a time, and that's not even including the numerous families that sprout on each floor. Each floor has a "Head" Tenant, who is responsible for making sure the rules of the building are being upheld and that each tenant needs are being met. They also double as rent collectors and report to the "Landlord" of the megabuilding whenever they encounter a problem they themselves cannot handle. Each floor progressively gets more hostile to outsiders and visitors, with a harsh warning after floor 20 to "enter at your own risk". Only the most emboldened and brave dare to venture further than the 20th floor, most never coming back. Even the tenants of the floors below, never venture into any of the ten floors above them, the unlit and wretched floors above holding all manor of seedy individuals and beings never meant to exist on a physical plane. No one knows if it's a Y.S.G ability users doing, or a deal with Korobei that made the 21rst-30th floors tenants nothing short of horrific and cruel to any unfortunate soul that dare enter their halls.

It is here on these floors that the true operation takes place, the Landlord using his shadow abilities to snuff out most light on any of the windowless floors, he can move himself and others by shadows, and as such, never has to move through the first twenty floors to move "assets" for Korobei's trafficking operations. Most of the rooms that hold the slaves and the yokai for sale didn't even have doors, the only way to get in being by force or being using the Landlords ability. As you can imagine, that meant the Stashhouse was used for some of the more powerful individuals and monsters that were better left kept in the dark before being sold off. There's little intel on what exactly is guarding the top 10 floors, but from what Michiko could gather, it had to be a mix of shadow based ability users and shadow ability yokai, with the Landlord having some way to control all of them with a "shadowy" grasp so to speak.

While he cant be found on any specific floor, the nameless man known as the "Landlord" is a man of little words. Even when Head Tenants contact him for help, the only warmth that can be found on the man, would be a curt smile whenever the trouble had been handled by him, followed closely by him disappearing into his own shadow and black smoke. No one knows where he came from, how Korobei was able to bring the Landlord under his control, or why he only does what's asked of him. Michiko is under the impression that his brain might have been tampered with, something the Forgotten would absolutely work with the Tormented on. The scope of his powers is undefined, only because no ones been able to record or live through an encounter, but from first hand accounts of tenants present when he deals with a problem on the 20th floor and below. He has absolute command over shadows in any given space he's in, he can move between them, form shadow constructs, and while it's not confirmed, some tenants have gone on record saying when he appears, the very shadows in the space seem to move and whisper. Whether that mean he hides yokai in the shadows he controls is undeterminable, but shouldn't be ignored. At all cost, try to avoid direct contact with the Landlord, else you might have bit off more than you can chew,

Similar to the landlord, all ten "Tenant Heads" are nameless and some even faceless, obscured by the shadow based abilities they hold. Michiko was unable to determine ANYTHING regarding the ten, besides the fact that they all share the same powerbase and it seemed like the Landlord was the tether that was keeping them all connected via their powers. Think of them as extensions for the Landlord to watch the top ten floors without having to compromise the operation with security systems that could be hacked into. They all seem to share similar powers to the Landlord, save for some unique twist on the last five Head Tenants.

"[b]Im sure you guys know about both these places, they've gained their own infamy for a multitude of reasons, and until today, we had no reason to pay either place a visit. With the help of our lovely resident Metal Girl, we were able to uncover the illegal operations taking place within the Legal businesses Korobei has been operating for several years now[/b]" she took a second for everyone to get a chance to read over the various information showing up on the big screen, and the screens hanging in front of the couch Michiko had used earlier. Lighting one of her rolled cigarettes, she continued after a smoke filled exhale "[b]I know I've said to steer clear of the Forgotten's path, save for when absolutely necessary, but that changes starting today. The increase in Zero-Percenters disappearances in the area has been increasing by the day, and while I couldn't act on it without any evidence, and accidently start a Gang War, your Lieutenant and I have a hunch something bigger is happening. We were only able to recover the last six months of the establishments "shipments" that frequently come and go through the day, and The Forgotten seem to be hoarding Zero-Percenter and powerful Yokai "Stock". So much so, they're storing them haphazardly because of the influx of so much stock.[/b]" She let her words sink in for a second, taking a drag "[b]While Korobei has always dealt in Yokai and Y.G/Y.S.G holders, he always stayed away from Zero-Percenters and Powerful Yokai, the former having little value these days and the latter being more risk than I thought the Forgotten Number 3 would be willing to take on.[/b]"

She ashed the joint in her hand and teleported the ash to somewhere off in the sky, before swiping on the projection table with her free hand. Partially completed maps that Michiko was able to make from the information kept on the Datashards gave them a rough idea of where too start on both Sites, but once inside both illegal operations, they were going to be mostly blind. "[b][b]Two missions, both with the same objective, and I dont care if we go in loud or quiet. We'll be looking to locate the Main AkumaServers and gleam any and all data we can get on the two remaining Trafficking Hubs that Korobei operates. I also want to rescue as many of the slaves as they have, save for those who are too far gone. The Yokai are an added bonus, and could easily become the distraction needed to cover our tracks. But above all else, we're going to disrupt and destroy their operations as best we can, Korobei should have never touched the people who've come to rely on the Kurotori, questions or concerns?[/b][/b]" she turned to the group, arms crossed, joint in mouth, her eyes reading the group.
