"Cut the sarcasm or I'll stun you and leave you in the shuttle," Clio snapped back at her, starting to wonder why she'd even invited Scarlett on her personal mission. "Just land near where she's hiding, and I'll take care of actually tracking her on the ground. And don't go running off trying to apprehend her on your own or I'll let her kill you."

Scarlett leaned her back against the console and folded her arms "I hope you realize that's a horrible plan, and a waste of available resources, we'd have to unclassify a lot of black bars, but I'm pretty sure it would be fun to compare mission total and mission kills" She complained "I have an entire arsenal of weapons, and an advanced shuttle, and you're not even going to use backup?"

"Did I say anything about going in without backup? No, I did not. But I expect you to follow my lead, whether you like how I do things or not. Now land the damn shuttle so we can get this done."

Scarlett rolled her eyes and mumbled something before walking over to the helm console "we're going in cloaked, I'm not risking my shuttle against an unknown for your little vendetta" She said as the maneuvered the shuttle in and did a brief fly over before a wide bank to land near the edge of the run-down industrial area where the building was close to the center of the complex "the scans are up if you feel like looking at them, otherwise we'll be landing in 2 minutes" she said finalizing the course entry and getting back up, striding towards the back of the 'bridge' to go prep her weapons loadout

"Chances are the scans won't pinpoint her exact location since they haven't been able to so far," Clio muttered under her breath, glancing at the scans. They told her very little, just that someone matching the Blood Queen's description was relatively nearby; the sensor readout insisted that the woman was inside the building, but looking at the structure she didn't think that was likely.

Scarlett stormed her way back to the aft area of the shuttle and opened one of the equipment lockers, she pulled out the scarlett bow in its 'folded' position, and swung it over her shoulder to secure it into it's place on her back, she secured her shock bracers, chose non-lethals for any other support function and rolled her eyes as she attached and holstered a standard phaser, she didn't exactly always do 'alive' but oh well, that's what the job was.

"Agent Scarlett, do you distrust Director Eneas?" A voice in her head asked, as AICO connected to Scarlett's cochlear implant

"I distrust everyone, it's an occupational hazard" She sarcastically quipped as Scarlett slammed the equipment locker door shut "Eneas just needs to get off her moral high horse, she's done no better than me, especially where you're concerned, she's no director of Pascol yet she'll gladly wear the hat"

AICO seemed silent for a moment "My primary purpose is the support and wellbeing of Pascol facility personnel" She repeated

"You know... you're a lot smarter than people give you credit for..." Scarlett said with a slight smile at the computer system's justification "I guess all 3 of us need a primary purpose to feel useful, even if we have to make one up" She laughed slightly

"Director Eneas is a tactical compliment to your skills and specialties, your mission compatibility is 98.32%" AICO advised

Scarlett rolled her eyes "And... that would be your weird way of saying we should be friends isn't it"

She'd hidden in the forest, where she was less likely to be seen. Slowly, the disorientation from Theia's escape trick had faded, leaving behind only a headache to mark her travel. Still, her broken ankle and the burn over her ribs had slowed her considerably, and she was no closer to a real escape than she had been when she'd appeared in that basement... with him. The whole thing just didn't seem right.

Stopping to rest for just a moment against a small building in a clearing, she thought she heard a shuttle approach. But when she looked there was nothing there...

"Actually, you're wrong. I never tried to manipulate the AICO or take advantage of her. I simply asked her to show me what happened to me in that place and told her that something that Mobius had done was damaging my brain. Headaches, seizures, memory loss... and it was getting worse. Naturally she was concerned and asked Mobius to fix it." The door was open, and Clio leaned against the frame, giving Scarlett a sour look. "Next time you want to badmouth me to your computer friend, maybe you should do it more quietly. Without banging things around where I can hear you."

"Oh that's right... Jean Grey has super hearing too..." Scarlett rolled her eyes as she motioned to the lockers along the wall "my toys are your toys, take whatever loadout you want"

"First of all, I'm Vulcanoid. You knew that, so you knew I could hear you back here. Second, I asked you not to call me that. And I don't need to use your toys. I have everything I need."

"Suit yourself" Scarlett shrugged "well we're still cloaked, and landed, though I still think we should have hovered and jumped..., and the ship will cycle it's cloak as soon as we're ready to disembark so your mystery person wont be tipped off to our presence just yet"

Clio rolled her eyes. "Someone wasn't listening when I was talking to the AICO. I can't jump out of a hovering shuttle, and quite honestly I shouldn't even be out here hunting this woman down, which is why I brought you. You're not just my backup... you're here to make sure I get home in one piece." The tiny implanted communicator beeped in her ear, the specific code she'd given Zerna so she would know it was him calling. "Uh... wait here." She retreated back into the cockpit, letting the door close again before she took the call.

[Conversation here and ends where Zerna says "Jernal out."]

Once Zerna 'hung up', she opened the door again, with an unamused expression on her face. "This just got way more complicated."

"Fine... we'll do things your way" Scarlett sighed "I suppose I forgot about your current 'condition'" She then raised an eyebrow at Clio's sudden exit

"Yeah, sorry. Zerna called." Clio tapped the spot where her communicator chip was implanted. "Mine's not as fancy as yours... or as deeply embedded. I tried the cochlear model a few years ago and I couldn't tolerate it." She shrugged slightly, taking a moment to decide how to explain their new problem. "So... this woman we're looking for. She's a time traveler... a very confused time traveler, but I think I can talk her down. As for my 'condition'... you were going to find out anyway."

"Just don't call me when your crazy doctor friend finds out" She muttered "I understand non-lethal, and I understand talking someone down, but if she goes after you, and I have a solution, I'm not promising to not take it" She stated matter of factly
