D52 | TO XYZ: ! URGENT

[erbier]

I have names for you. And a task. Bring any equipment you might need, we don't have much time. We will wait for you in front of our last meeting place.

[ Ilde and the Darkling will be waiting for her in front of Daylight. ]

[onemind]

Uh what kind of job

[That doesn't mean she isn't coming, just that specifics would help for this 'equipment' idea. You people and your secrecy.]

[erbier]

[ She is trying not to say incriminating stuff on the interwebs, okay!!! ]

Some of our friends have been arrested, and we don't have time to wait for their release.

[onemind]

Wow, good job.

I'll meet you in fifteen.

[erbier]

[ Well, to be fair, Ilde isn't entirely impressed with them either, but she can't chastise them about their follies until she has rescued them. She relays to her shadowy friend that the hacker is on her way. And when Y does appear, ]

I assume you would like your information, before we imperil you?

[unsea]

[ he's not taking it personally, but he's not at all impressed with their performance either. 8( ]

[onemind]

[When Y appears, she looks exactly as she always does - casual and confident, stitched through with an easy going arrogance. She doesn't appear to have much in the way of equipment, but she also doesn't seem even remotely worried.]

Hey, sweetheart. [And to the Darkling:] You're new.

[Consider her unsurprised. She grins at Ilde, too many teeth, and nods to confirm her suspicions.] You're getting better at this. I'm shocked.

[erbier]

[ She inclines her head slightly, there's a lot she has to say to this woman and it rolls around in her head as she carefully picks the content, the order. ]

I have. I learned a great deal from you. [ From interacting with her, she was an archetype Ilde had never encountered before in a world she knew nothing about, pursuing a goal she hadn't quite understood until a long ways in to all of this. ] It won't do you much good to learn more about us, we'll be leaving soon, but I do not want to leave without giving you everything that I can.

[ She laces her fingers loosely behind her, almost like a stance of military rest. ]

I spoke with Kusuma Ming tonight. She revealed to me that she is a member of a masked coucil, they have been planning the bombings. Erastos Loke is their organizer, and the only other name she had to give me, but there are others left uncovered. I hope you will find them, and expose them. They deserve to be... [ Haha. Well. She shrugs. ]

I'll leave that to you. We have sent a group to speak with Loke, should he give up the other names I will relay them to you, if I can. Another group has gone to disarm the bomb on the Omega memory bank. Which leaves the two of us, we could use your expertise.

[ She motions to the Darkling, ]

He has had closer contact with them, he can tell you more.

[unsea]

[ "New", but not green. ]

An infinite pleasure.

[ If Y is as good as Ilde has made her out to be, she'll recognize his face. It's the first they've met, but he's far from green. Interestingly enough, his posture mimics Ilde's - because they are close, or because he'd like to be on his toes, this time. While Ilde delivers the news, he weighs his own words - to give her hacker-friend a taste, not the whole thing. ]

My team approached Kulap Aquila with intentions to confirm or deny her involvement with the bombings as well. During our questioning, she managed called security on us. My two companions are being held [ at this point, he pulls out the data pad he had taken with him when they had fled, pointing out the prison that Bellamy had called to him from ] here. We need someone to let us in, and back out when we've retrieved them.

[ "We" meaning himself and Ilde. once inside, he holds no illusions about their ability to locate and rescue their fellows. They're entirely capable. ]

( She'll do this? )

[erbier]

( Her choice in the matter is an illusion. )

[ ....bitch is cold.... ]

[onemind]

[Y straight up takes the datapad from The Darkling when it's anywhere within her reach. There's a moment where the alien technology doesn't respond to her touch in the way she clearly expects it to, having assumed it to be just some off model or homebrew tablet, but before it registers as anything but brief frustration she modifies her approach and the tablet responds accordingly. Good instincts or the tech adapting to the user? Does it matter?]

Well isn't this interesting.

[She doesn't sound impressed and after a moment, Y passes the data pad back. She sweeps her braids back over her shoulders. Shrugs.]

I can get you in and out, but I'll have to be with you. I can't do it remotely. [When she smiles, it's more like bearing her teeth.] Copacetic?

[erbier]

Of course.

[ Her reaction to Y's grin is placid. She herself isn't looking forward to this much, but she has an inkling of how Y enjoys an adventure. ]

Is there anything you need from us, that would help you?

[onemind]

[She gives the datapad, janky tech that it is, a sidelong glance then snorts.]

I'm good. Thanks though.
