Just as Dana's information stated, they found themselves in the Iron District, stalking a certain target.

Sonya perched herself on one of the rooftops, and pulled out some binoculars (She swiped them from Henry while he wasn't looking), looking down at the street below. An Asian man with hair cut very short, not particularly tall, but Sonya could see the bulk he built from up here. She almost whistled. He was wearing a black sweater, and some jeans, as he walked down the rainy streets holding an umbrella. The other arm was holding some groceries he got from the local corner store. Sonya caught his face on the binoculars, and scanned it. She looked it up on the databases, and the name Chul Jun came up.... As one of the known REAPERS they got off their databases. Poor bastard.

Sonya pressed her earpiece. "How's it looking from down here? He's our REAPER." Sonya said to Jan. "Bastard went to get some groceries like it's nothing. It should be easy work for a rookie like you. Just go arrest him. Don't worry, I got your back. It's a sniper's job."

Jan nodded from her seat in the NEST car, though she didn't quite know why--it wasn't like Sonya could hear that. "Roger." she said, swiftly parking the vehicle on the side of the street. Their target was in sight, but he seemed relatively oblivious to her presence. Just getting groceries in the middle of the day? Jan had to suppress her natural suspicion and her curiosity as she grabbed her sidearm. 

She pointed the glock at the man. "NEST agents," she said, in a voice slightly louder than intended. "Put your hands above your head and freeze...or I'll shoot." She had cover from behind the door of her vehicle, in case he had a weapon. She trusted Sonya, of course, but having an additional barrier between her and a potentially dangerous criminal, especially one that looked like he could snap her like a twig, was never a bad idea.

The man stopped, and peeked over his shoulder at her.

"Make sure that he drops the bag - not put it down - drop it." Sonya warned as her eyes narrowed. "I got a bad feeling about that bag."

"Drop the bag," Jan commanded to the man.

The man didn't move. He looked at Jan for a moment from over his shoulder. Tightening his grip around the bag subtly, like he was trying to reach around.

"You deaf or something? Drop the bag and put your hands up!"

The man dropped the bag, but quickly pulled a glowing green syringe out of his sleeve, poised to jam it in his wrist.

"He's got Mutagen!" Sonya warned. She quickly pulled the trigger, and a taser dart came out of her sniper. It hit him right in the neck, and before he could shoot himself up with it, he started convulsing. He dropped the glowing syringe as he stumbled backwards. 

Jan moved forward, kicking the syringe away as she struggled to restrain the man. 

While he was regaining himself, the REAPER started struggling, lashing out against her with his fists in some attempt to get free.

This presented a problem for Sonya since she couldn't fire another dart with Jan struggling. That'd be a rookie mistake. Instead, she swung the sniper over her shoulder, and grabbed her sidearm. She jumped down, and put her fingers on her earpiece in mid-air, "Just taze him!" Sonya said. Tasing him was the best way to handle this situation.

Jan followed the advice, and pulled out her taser. She had been attempting to handcuff the target, but the force of his convulsions was enough to knock her slightly off balance. She engaged the device, and the wires shot from the device, hitting the man squarely in the back. He convulsed again, and Jan finally managed to pull out a pair of handcuffs. She trembled slightly as she put them around his wrists, maintaining a positioning of her knee on his back. "Is the area clear?" she asked into her headpiece as she struggled to bring the man to his feet.

"Excellent! You did well, honey." Sonya assured, she quickly did a scan of the area around her, before she jumped across the street. "Area's clear... well, pretty clear." There weren't too many people out. They were probably scared of all the attacks, and the rain. She stepped over to Jan and the captured REAPER. "Just get him in the car, I'll have a look at his things." The first thing she looked at was the bag full of groceries... he was a tad bit hesitant to drop it - which meant there's something in there that he doesn't want NEST finding. Of course, if he didn't want NEST finding it, then he was better off leaving it at home.

Jan nodded, still feeling slightly dizzy. Getting used to this would take time. The man, however, seemed more compliant as she led him into the backseat of the car. She locked the vehicle and stood outside, simultaneously surveying the scene and keeping an eye on the REAPER. 

The bag of groceries contained some rather... random things. Some meats, some vegatables, but it seemed like he was stuffing food into a bag rather than buying stuff he needed. She opened the bag a little bit, and went through it's contents... where she found a small black case. She raised her blonde eyebrows as she grabbed it and opened it up. Surprisingly... there was only a few more syringes full of Mutagen inside. "... Why couldn't have it been a bomb or something?" She asked no one in particular. She put her fingers on the commpiece and said, "Coast is clear. Heading back to the car now." She put her pistol in it's holster and went back towards the car.

"Roger that. 

Right when they made to the car, that reminded Sonya. "Grue, we captured the REAPER Chul Jun. He was trying to smuggle some mutagen... where, I don't know. Probably should have tailed him."

"It's fine. Every REAPER we arrest means there's one less member of the Hands to worry about." Dana said through the comms. "Bring him back to headquarters. Good work, RAVENS."

"Right back at ya'!" Sonya said as she slid into the passenger side seat of the car. There was a reason why Sonya couldn't own or drive a car. She was such a bad driver that they barred her from it. "Alright, head back-"

"Oh wait, I have something to report," Dana quickly said. "The leader of the Changeling Unit, Luis, or Bloodsucker, has been encountered."

"Oh?" Sonya said.

"He was... going after Trevor, before one of the Dreadnaughts stopped him from killing Trevor. Agent Olin was on the scene soon after and chased him off."

"Oh, that's [i]not[/i] good." Sonya said, dead serious. "Do they know about what Tr- Panacea did during the raid?"

"Talking to Trevor, and it doesn't seem like it." Dana said. "He only went after Trevor because he saw him walking out of headquarters."

"I hope the lad is okay." Sonya said. "That means they're [i]watching[/i] us."

"They really want Heartbreaker back." Dana said. "Alright, Grue out."

"What's going on at HQ?" Jan asked. She was both curious and trying to make conversation. Her heart was still racing slightly, and she thought something else might calm her down.

"Nothing that I can tell is going on at [i]Headquarters[/i], just a little incident with one of our... associates, yeah." Sonya answered, unsure of what to say really since the conversation with Dana over the comms summed it up pretty well. 

"Oh..." Jan let the silence hang in the air. She wasn't sure exactly [i] who [/i] this Trevor/Panacea person was, and she was curious. However, she was starting to get the feeling that she'd asked enough questions for now. She was comfortable with silence, but often felt obligated to keep talking since most people weren't. But, if Sonya had said her piece, then she also wanted to respect the other woman's privacy. "Didn't mean to pry or anything..." she said mildly, looking around the city streets as she drove back to Headquarters. It was odd how quiet everything was. The streets were all but desolate. She knew that the rain was driving them away. "Thanks for all your help." She finally said, smiling warmly at Sonya.

"Of course, of course!" Sonya said, returning the smile. "It's what Agents do - well, least not the Agents who are assholes - but we're wearing down those Hands of Science." She chuckled a bit. "Soon, we won't even need to worry about getting the Chairmen, because they'll have no worker bees soon enough!"

Jan laughed, "Well, I have a feeling they'll be plenty of work for us in the meantime." They had just arrived at Headquarters, and the rain had let up somewhat. Jan stopped the car. "So what do we do with this guy?"

"Just take 'em back to headquarters, and toss him in a cell. Same with do with most of the REAPERS we bag." Sonya said.

"Sounds good,"

Jan lead the man to one of the many unoccupied cells as soon as they got inside. Her first REAPER. She smiled a bit to herself. Although the mission hadn't gone quite as smoothly as she might have hoped, she felt a little bit of pride at what she had accomplished. Now, there was just a seemingly endless stack of paperwork.
