[b]Misaka 10032, Academy City[/b]

Misaka fell silent as Lucina ceded on whatever discussion there might have been of her social quirks, which she filed away with the Network for later. They'd done a better job of hiding it from her than they had Marisa, but that was to be expected given the methods of encounter for both. At the moment, she allowed Kakine to talk an explain, since he seemed to be proving himself adept in doing so. Instead she kept her focus on the situation at hand, and she poured on the speed to prevent any further developments now that they were near their goal.

She quickly got a better view once they had entered visual range. There was, as expected, Kamijou Touma and the annoying nun, with a variety of objects scattered before them. More importantly though was Marisa, rising into the air on her broom and preparing to leave. That could not be allowed, since who knew where she might end up next time? As it stood she was not going to allow the thief to escape again. 

"Moving to intercept," she informed Kakine before acting, bringing up her rifle and firing on the run, rubber bullets sent flying at the Witch. She doubted that Touma would object to the interference, and the sooner they got this situation resolved the better. With that in mind she acted to resolve it, nothing more, as she fired away.

[b]Ilyasviel von Einzbern, Shadow Eternity HQ[/b]

Ilya let out an impressed whistle as she stepped aboard the strange ship that they would be using for this mission. Someone sure had invested a lot of time and effort into the thing, and she was sure she would appreciate it before they got to their destination. It wasn't as if they would lack for time.

For her part she was relaxed, wearing a grin as she stepped inside. At least it was big, which meant a premium of space for her to work with. She didn't need it, but it never hurt. And with all the other stuff built in, it could support quite the strike force too. She just hoped that it could get them there in one piece, because she had no desire to hitchhike or get on the hull and start shooting arrows at people. 

Once inside, she went to find a couch or a chair or something like that, to sit down in and bide her time as she waited for them to get going. There wasn't much else to do, and she didn't want to waste her mana, so she simply relaxed. Soon enough she'd be able to have her fun.

[b]Cinder Fall, Museum World[/b]

Without protest, Cinder began to move at the prodding of the weapon. Disobedience was the farthest thing from her mind at this point, even if she had been willing to test whether a severed spine could be healed by Aura. She had the suspicion that it wasn't, and she would rather not force the issue now. She still had her own mission to accomplish, and she couldn't do that while here. She just hoped that these operatives were smart enough to recognize her worth. 

So she walked along, waiting to see where they would end up, ignoring the pain from her shoulderblades and back, and planning ahead for the first opportunity she got to push her agenda along. It would come, and when it did she would be ready.
