Umbra Scriptum VS Tien Tri

Artic rolled her eyes. "Of course it isn't. Be careful." She smiled lightly and walked down the hall. Since Ian is going to handle the system, she's going to take out the ones who keep the system up and running. This was going to be fun.

"Alright. You go save a table for us and I'll go get the food." Seth smiled and walked over to the counter.

Ian watched Artic leave before heading to where the system was being held. It was best to handle this quickly.

Flame nodded and went to go find a table, ignoring the looks she was receiving from everyone else.

Seren glanced back at her. "Exactly what I mean."

Noelle scoffed at her then crossed her arms.

She looked down the hall and kept her eyes open for her targets. She fingered her gun and lightly rolled her eyes. She hates using these things, but she can't use her sword. Her sword would be a dead giveaway and she can't afford to lose her cover.

Seth got the food and turned back around. He saw that some people were giving Flame wary looks. He slightly frowned. Why are these people giving her such looks? She did nothing wrong. He shook his head and walked back over to her. "Here you go, Flame." He set down a plate in front of her and smiled.

Flame looked up at Seth and smiled lightly. "Do you think we can go eat somewhere else?"

Seren glanced back at her. "Anyway, we need to hurry and complete our mission."

"Yeah, yeah, just tell me what you want me to do since you're obviously the boss around here." Noelle was still sulking.

"I really hate this place." Artic looked around and sighed. Seems like all her targets aren't here. She turned down a hallway. She walked a bit closer and saw the President's secretary. What was his name? Neal? Ned? She shrugged and walked over to him. "Excuse me, sir. I just started working here and I was wondering if you can show me where the security room is."

"Sure. Where do you want to go?" Seth looked around and saw that the others were still starring at them. "Come on." He turned to the exit and walked out.

Flame quickly followed after Seth, reaching up to grab the back of his shirt while avoiding the others' stares.

Seren sighed and turned back to Noelle. "You can take the lead, if you want, Noelle."

Norm's eyes widened as someone spoke to him. He glanced at Artic, wondering if he had been mistaken and she was not indeed talking to him. Well, he was a very important man. It made sense that someone would come to him for help. "Of course. Do you have the necessary security passes?"

"I don't wanna if you're gonna be like that," Noelle replied, giving her an icy glare. "Just get me outta here already and on the mission so I can have a little fun."

Artic smiled and pulled out the key card for the security room. "As a matter of fact, I do."

"Why was everyone looking at you like that? It's like they all hate you." He looked down at her and tilted his head. "How can someone be mad at a kid?"

"Because I'm not like them," Flame replied, her eyes staring straight ahead. "I'm not human like most of you are. I'm a child that's being experimented on."

Seren quietly snickered. "Alright, alright. Let's go." And she made her way to the exit.

Norm was clearly surprised that she had such authority, but he managed to stutter "it's t-this way," before turning on his heel and leading her down the hallway.

Noelle followed, thinking about the new weapons the organization had received. As soon as she had clearance, she was going to spend hours training on them. She almost smiled at the thought.

Artic followed after him. She's thinking about killing him as soon as he leads her into the security room. But, he's not part of her mission. She shrugged and decided not to. He might useful again in later missions if she ever has to come back here.

"But it's not like you chose to go through with the experimentations." He sighed lightly and sat down on a bench. "They just don't understand. You should show them that you mean no harm."

"How?" Flame asked as she looked up at him curiously.

Seren glanced back at her before pausing when she noticed a man. "Who are--"

"Hello ladies," Mikale greeted as he smiled at Seren and Noelle.

Norm continued down the hallway, feeling rather nervous. To have access to this room, you needed to be rather high in the organization and he really did not recognize the girl. His memory was astoundingly thorough, and he doubted that he of all people would forget a face. He stopped quite suddenly and turned around, summoning all his courage. "What did you say your name was again, miss?"

Noelle muttered something that sounded like a curse then asked "Who the hell are ya callin' a lady? You think I'm weak?"
