Rachel had finally shifted back to her normal female form a lil while after she left torturing Mako. She actually didn't do a really good job of it at the time due her male's body differences from her female form. Also with her body back to normal she actually felt finally a lot calmer again... calmer and ready to precisely do what was needed for a mission.

 That said their arrival at Balamb didn't turn out too great. There was a chaos going on there. She would have called it a tiny civil war because that's exactly what it seemed like and there was a tiny problem... which side does she take in this? The direct logic dictated the Garden Master... but... all her missions so far given always passed by the Headmaster's office instead. This Garden Master was not... trustworthy in Rachel's eyes as she concluded just now.[color=00a651]" Seems like we were sold from the inside."[/color] She finally stated.[color=39b54a]" We need more information on this, but I'm getting the feeling this Garden Master will be a problem in need of dealing... fast. I will help tracking down the Head Master and Corvo. My expertise in healing and mass crowd control will come in handy."[/color]
