"It's been a while huh Shade? Or was it WeiWei, I think that was what Yumi called you..." Kristina said, a finger on her lower lip as she pondered. "Sorry about that, kind of spaced out. Can I come in?"

"Hmm... 'Shade'... haven't been called that for a while," she mused. "It's 'Winnie' or 'WeiLi', though I'm surprised someone even remembers my codename. 'Wei-Wei' is just one of Yumi's little... 'nicknames' she has for me."
Winnie stepped aside to allow the Sword Calamity girl to come in.
"At any rate, please, come on in," she added.

Otomi just shrugged, "I only have a very vague idea of it, I wasn't supposed to read it for myself. My orders are to send back a responce and keep an eye on you all until told otherwise."

"Winnie huh? I like your name," Kristina said, stepping into the house. She set her helmet down and began to remove the rest of her armor. "Sorry for the mess, but I don't have anyplace to put my armor. I usually wear it."
"It's okay," replied Winnie. "So what brings you here?"
"Thanks. It's a long story I guess. Around a month ago I was in Paris and I found the worst sight you could imagine. It looked like something Camilla would do, only these weren't all good looking people. There were thirteen people situated around a church, crucified.
"Each one wasn't exactly the greatest type of person either. Bums, hookers, soldiers, everyone. They had 666 carved into their chests and had had their wrists nailed to these crosses. And they all had beam sabers rammed into their chests."
Kristina shuddered at the memory, "And then about a week and a half ago I was in Spain trying to get a ship or a plane to North America when I had a weird nightmare. It was a women toying with my mind, saying that evil was around. I saw the crucified people again. The women said she hadn't done it, but knew about it. When I woke up a Hizack Custom trooper and a pair of Barzam troopers attacked me. They all had a large cross around their necks.
"I came here to get information. You and Yumi are very well connected. Since I don't trust Yumi, I came to you. Do you know anything about this?"

Elsewhere in New Mexico
Kally Lyedalla walked out of the meeting room an unhappy woman --- it wasn't that it was obvious at all from her cold and blank expression, but when one was an experienced Aura Battler...you'd feel it. The meeting didn't go too well, considering that construction over Millenium isn't going any better for the UEG out of it; a request for a budget increase she put out has been denied. At least it wasn't going any worse, however --- if Kally ever took comfort in anything, it was that.
But the shaking, nervous-looking messenger that ran up to her seemed to ruin that for Kally. Dressed in the most impeccable of UEG uniforms, the man was sweating slightly, glancing around periodically as if avoiding Kally's gaze; it probably wasn't everyday one lowly messenger had to deliver a message for the UEG's former top MS Trooper ace, after all, and besides the woman unnerved him.
Kally ignored that and went right to the point, glaring at him. "What is it you want?"
"Pardon me, Major, but there's been something," The messenger replied, trying to speak slowly and firmly. "Urgent new orders --- from Jaburo." With that, the messenger took out a small, folded sheet of paper, handing it out to Kally; Kally snatched it from him promptly, and the messenger barely managed to salute before he broke into a panicked run. Kally Lyedalla unnerved him, indeed.
She was silent as all heck as she unfolded and read the orders, as well.
Convicted traitor Christopher Riley confirmed escaped from Costa Rica base facility; last seen heading to the North American mainland by air. Might have a Trooper Suit, is extremely dangerous. Track him down and rearrest him, terminate without question if he resists. Call for reinforcements if necessary.
And at the bottom was an authentication code and signature --- a signature that belonged to...Kally sneered, crumpling the orders into a ball and putting it away. Him, Kally narrowed her eyes in disgust, I simply wonder why Jerid put up with him before, but if I had my say he would've been dead. She had better things to do in New Mexico, more urgent things than to hunt down an escaped convict, and Kally simply would've protested the orders under normal circumstances --- but Christopher Riley, and the person who gave the order, were far from normal. Riley knew things --- and Kally wanted to ask him what, if she had her say.
Which she didn't but was going to anyway.
The woman laughed mirthlessly to herself. Perhaps Jerid Albright had gotten to her at last three years after his death --- he always was a curious and nosy person, being the former Head of Counterintelligence. And Kally had to admit: if nothing else, she wanted to test Riley's mettle.
If she was accepting this mission, she intended to do at least just that...

OOC: Er, Cyb, I don't know how you got the impression that Atlas was in New Mexico. It's on an island east of Costa Rica.

(Oops, confused it with Millenium. ; Changed now. Kally herself is in New Mexico, and the order came from Jaburo...) -Cyb

WeiLi simply shook her head.
"We're not exactly in the business of information," WeiLi simply stated, "but I can think of some people who Yumi and I can assist you with. Besides... it seems we got some pressing issues at hand, and it's gotten Yumi all riled up."
WeiLi took a quick glance at the back of the house, where Otomi and Yumi were still talking.
"Say what you will about Yumi, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss her, either," WeiLi added. "All things considering, if I need someone to ever watch my back, it'd be her."
***
Yumi nodded at Otomi's response understandably.
"Tell me something," she said. "I'm certain someone like you has seen the very worst of the Massacre... especially three years ago. Aside from the Banshees you have witnessed... what do you know of Yamato yourself? Personally speaking."

"Sorry Winnie. I just know her from the Shining Hope...and well she went a bit crazy. Thanks for the help. This is way to freaky for me. So anyway, how have you been doing?" Kristina asked, leaning forward with a smile.

WeiLi chuckled to herself.
"Three years of a respectable, if not 'normal' life away from military and corporate duties has done me some good, thank you very much," she answered. "Nice suit," she added.

"Thanks," Kristina replied. "I had to get rid of the old one a bit ago, along with some other stuff..."
She trailed off, looking at her cybernetic right arm. It pained her that she couldn't even see it with her real eyes. Slowly she looked up and asked, "So where's Soufle. I miss her a lot."

After a hour on her bike and a 5 hour flight back to base Yamiko walked off teh small transport and into the hanger.
"Yo..." Yamiko said to the woman in the black dress waiting for her.
"It's good to see you made it back in one peice." The woman replied.
"Yeah well my Armor is all but a pile of scrap metal and I feel like I got run over by a bus...." Yamiko said standing only in her skin tight jumper she had on under her armor.
"I see, well the Boss asked me to get your bath ready and I will start on the repairs ASAP." The woman said walking past Yamiko into the small transport.
"Thanks..." She replied and walked off. -----------------------
Yamiko slowly steped into the very warm water of the bath and sighed a bit. "This feels great............" she said out load and sliped in more.
She was up to her shoulder s in the water and grabbed the small glass with Sake in it and took a sip.
"So now all I need to know is how the boss knows Dai and the crap behind that..." she said.
"What do you mean by "Crap behind that..." A female voise said as a large Vid screen opened up in mid air abouve Yamiko.
"You said you'd tell me about that when I got back... And Hey I'm taking a bath here!!" Yamiko said covering herself up the best she could.
"Oh what are you worried about?!"The voise said and the looked to be sleeping pink hard girl on the screen made no sign of opening her eyes.
"Meh... Fine just tell your story..." Yamiko replied and relaxed a bit.
"Well it started about..." She began.

WeiLi winced a bit at the sound of Souffle's name, and absentmindedly rubbed the back of her head.
"Upstairs... watching... uh... something..." she replied.

(Actually, Aegis, Rhyhorns are actually cannon fodder if you have a good Grass- or Water-type Pokemon... ^^; )
And watch she does. Souffle is currently holed up in her room full of posters of all kinds (of which this author hasn't exactly thought about yet, so no elaboration here ^^; ) , seated on the soft carpeted floor in front of her TV, the second-last disc (of 8) of the Neo-Capcom courtroom drama Gyakuten Saiban 4 OVA playing on the screen. Souffle grinned. Was this going to be it? How would the last disc go and this last case fare? Would Naruhodou and Mayoi finally hit it off (Probably not on the second-last disc, Souffle sighed)...?
With any luck, Souffle will be out of her room within a week and, with even more luck, she wouldn't have ordered the last disc already.
Indeed, good luck. ^^;

OOC: So, you're saying that Souffle is a Pokemon? Well, getting her off that TV is made even easier. *throws grass at Souffle and captures her in a Pokeball*
