**Blake - Crew corridor, UMMA Vessel _Tanngrisnir_** Blake kept one corner behind the intruder as she crept behind him, peeking around the corner to keep him in view. her eyes widened as she saw him pull the unmistakable shape of a weapon from his coat. _That settles it._ She raised her left wrist to her lips, activating her communicator. "_Control, this is Belladonna. I've got an armed intruder on my position._" She whispered, her free hand reaching over her shoulder to draw her weapon from its sheath. She flicked a switch on the handle to collapse the blade, folding it into a small scythe-like arrangement so the pistol in its handle could be used properly.

As the alarms sounded, Blake let out a soft sigh as she put her book down on the table. Reading time was well and truly over, it seemed. S code-9564F meant a fire, right? There were specialists who were probably responding, but they might need help. "We should probably-" By the time she'd turned around, the cyborg and the robot had disappeared. Blinking and looking around, she jumped to her feet, turned to give Dlanor and Sylvester a respectful nod, then headed for the door. On the way, however, a familiar yellow-haired boy entered the galley behind her. "Jaune! You made it." Blake said, walking past him and beckoning her old friend to follow. "No time for introductions, something's going on." The black-haired girl led the way down the crew corridor, heading for the cargo bay access lift, when something caught her eye. She turned to l look in time to see someone vanishing into a crew-only area of the ship. _Now that doesn't seem right..._ Something about the figure's movements, their timing, send a suspicious thrill down her spine. Motioning Jaune to stop and be quiet, she headed for the door they'd entered, carefully peering down the hallway beyond.

A question for Vita - where was the dark-suited figure skulking around? Would it make sense for Blake to spot them?

**Blake Belladonna - Crew galley, UMMA Vessel _Tanngrisnir_** "Not at all." Blake said to the robotic dog, moving over to make room. She looked between the dog and his friend, eyebrow raised curiously. _I wonder if they're partners?_ She made a note to ask later, and returned to her own book. She looked up a moment later, however, as another agent entered the galley, turning her cool gaze on the second white-haired man. She hadn't been with UMMA for long enough to recognise him, but he was apparently one of her seniors, and she nodded to him in greeting. "Yes, this is my first official assignment" She replied, placing the bookmark ribbon attached to her book's spine in her place and closing it in front of her. "Thank you, sir, I'll try my best."

Blake: "Oh god, why is it always dogs?" XD

**Blake Belladonna - Crew galley, UMMA Vessel _Tanngrisnir_** Blake looked around when she heard the approaching voices, her slight irritation with the interruption easing as she heard the subject of the pair's conversation. She smiled and nodded in approval with the baritone's statement, turning in her seat to look at the door as they entered - and bit back a gasp. It wasn't the heavily mechanised human she was staring at, it was the decidedly unsettling profile of his robotic companion. If she'd had fur, it would have been standing on end. As it was she could feel her ears bristling under her bow as she forced herself to calm down and not leap up onto a lighting rig. _It - He's only built to look canine, he's not actually a dog... I think..._ By the time Blade Wolf was heading her way she'd calmed down enough to give him a nod in greeting, placing her book down with one finger keeping her place. "It's not exactly heated." She said politely, hesitating for a moment before reaching up to flick one of her ear out of her bow. She wiggled it for a second, then carefully slipped it back into the cloth.

Oh man, I'm disappointed in myself too :P

OK, edit complete! You all saw nothing >.> Anyway, from what I can tell, a Nono-Blake teamup would be entertaining (for us, possibly not for Blake at first).

Ah, right. I will edit. Off to a great start! ^^;

**Blake Belladonna - Crew galley, UMMA Vessel _Tanngrisnir_** Blake Belladonna sat at a table in the great dimensional ship's mess hall, a plate with a sandwich at her right hand and book held open in her right. She seemed to have forgotten about her food, her yellow eyes scanning intently over the page. One of the unexpected benefits of working with the UMMA had been access to whole new worlds' worth of stories. She'd found more intriguing titles than she'd ever be able to consume - although, considering a lot of her time so far had been spent on interdimensional voyages with little to do she might just give the Yggrasil library a run for its money. She blinked and frowned slightly as her left hand went up to lightly adjust the bow that sat atop her head, the loops carefully placed to conceal her ears. Maybe it was silly to wear the bow still - after all, the UMMA was a ridiculously diverse organisation, and she hadn't seen any indication of the sort of of biases she had to deal with back home. Maybe this was the place where she could finally feel comfortable going about with ears uncovered, but for now old habits died hard.
