While the thorny pines were annoying, she particularly enjoyed running along the canopy from branch to branch. Wearing only a white T-shirt, some tight jeans, a gunbelt and a "tactical" backpack on her persons, the African-American vampire made her way through the canopy on foot, jumping from branch to branch at breakneck speeds. She's already quite late to the meeting, she had been in the area when Peace Sentinel called her for this mission. She was given the details of the mission and the target through coded brochures in her mail, brochures disguised as travel guides to Egypt and the local area that the Ordinary Mythical Academy was situated in. She had gotten the letter of acceptance traditionally through the mail, and while Carmen and Hakeem were hastily scrambled to take on the mission, Mr. Smith also realized that Peace Sentinel always required a Plan B, and thus called in Liana to fill in. Liana didn't have the luxury or the time to get an AI-controlled Black Hawk helicopter to fly her to her destination, nor did Peace Sentinel want to spare the resources to get an AI-controlled C-130 just to drop one person from the back of the plane. Here, Liana had to drive her happy ass to the meeting place, and confirm any targets there. Soon enough, Liana reached the meeting place, but she made sure that she wasn't seen at first. Hiding within the canopy of trees, she looked upon the field from her new vantage point. Taking out a rangefinder from her gunbelt, the vampire took a nice look at the students who all converged and met here. She couldn't believe her eyes. Liana did see some odd-looking humans, a few of them looking strange in their choice of clothing, one of them even having this weird shadow cloak type deal going on. There was a floating [i]orb[/i], a [i]blue phoenix[/i], a weird imp-demon thing, a... [i]manticore?[/i], a large dark rabbit monster, a robot, a [i]magical pegasus[/i], several other odd looking animals, and [i]two fucking dragons.[/i] Liana gulped and she was already sweating. [color=92278f]"Never in my whole life... wow..."[/color] The vampire blinked several times, trying to figure out if what she was seeing was true. She took a picture with her rangefinder, and then pulled out her phone, and began texting on an encrypted channel.

Next time, give me solid intel before you send me off on missions like this, please![/hider][/color][/quote] Liana put her phone away, and took a moment to get over her shock. After trying to get over the weirdness displayed before her, she pulled out her rangefinder once more and began scouting again. Her eyes widened once her target showed up, Prince Ali Sekhemi himself. Huge parades, large elephants, lots of monkeys, lots of servants, guards and slaves, pushing over a little girl just for him to make a bollywood-style entrance! [i][color=92278f]Oh. My. God.[/color][/i] She couldn't even tell if this guy is actively trying to paint a target on his back, or his ego is even bigger than that of Kanye West's. Intel suggests the latter, but after seeing everyone else in the field just now, she doesn't even know [i]what[/i] to believe anymore. She heard that Carmen and Hakeem from Galm Team were stationed at the academy already, and she hoped that those poor sods will do okay... especially once they see what [i]Liana[/i] sees. She took a picture of her mark, and began texting again.

You're cleared to move in and tail. Be sure to meet up with Galm Team, it will help them knowing that they aren't alone. Remember, do not engage the target until you and Galm Team are cleared hot. We need intel for Operation Torchsnuff before he goes down. Good luck out there. - Mr. Smith[/hider][/color][/quote] Liana gave a soft smile a little. Even though she often operated alone, and didn't have much that she'd call [i]friends[/i], it's nice to know that she has people like Mr. Smith and those in Galm Team watching her back. However, at this moment, she's all on her lonesome now, and after packing away her phone and rangefinder, she jumped down from the tree with ease, landing on the ground on her two feet, before strolling up to the group, watching the events unfold before her. As this happened, however, she witnessed the most glorious thing ever. One of the more normal-looking humans slammed his staff into the ground, and the target was suddenly dirty and in loincloths, the slaves looked like nobles, and all of the elephants and monkeys looked like monsters from the Fallout series! Not only that, Sekhemi was already put in a chokehold from what appeared to be the [i]manticore![/i] This was weirder than [i]anything[/i] that she experienced in New York! Joining up with the group, she stepped aside so she could see what was happening, before texting again to Mr. Smith.

Trust me, the target is pissing everyone off to the point where he's probably going to die before we even get anything out of him. If that happens, I guess I'll see you in Egypt! [/hider][/color][/quote] Liana put her phone away, and just watched the spectacle with awe. The vampire stood there, plain as day, her fangs showing as she had her mouth slightly agape. She looked around and made sure to stay clear of the dragons, hoping that they weren't hungry for chocolate vampires. At least not yet. Seeing that the man with the staff was on the ground, however, she immediately rushed to his aid and tried to help him out. Seeing that he was out cold, she checked on him to make sure he's breathing. After feeling that his heart is beating and that he's indeed breathing, she started doing some rather obscure techniques, using different rubs and compressions to bring him back into the conscious world. She then saw the blood on his head, and gulped a little. She salivated just a little bit at the sight of the blood on Leval's head, but she knew better. She'd feed if he consented. Plain and simple. [color=92278f][i]You're not a monster.[/i][/color] She thought to herself as she tried to bring Leval back. [color=92278f]"Hey buddy, you okay?"[/color] The vampire assassin asked, her voice with the soft hints of kindness and concern.
