With the atmospheric disruptor repaired, and the Captain’s meeting coming to an end, most of the crew left the barracks to continue their duties. Mona was among the few who remained behind. She stood over the Captain’s map, two of her archive interfaces floating at her side. One showcased a map of Suphlatus, with the coordinates of Banksia Central highlighted. The other displayed a set of schematics detailing the control tower and its security routes. Her fingers slid across the holographic screen, rotating the structure of the tower and zooming in on a certain location.

Alex groaned on the ground beside her, a few unlucky pirates tasked with cleaning up their trusty doctor’s mess and putting him to bed.
“[color=firebrick]Tsk[/color]” Mona clicked her tongue, shaking her head in disapproval at the drunkard.
“[color=85B3C4]Looks like the three of us are going to Banskia – are either of you familiar with it? What's the plan?[/color]” Sania, eager to be of service, approached Mona along with Huangdi. Seeing her team members brought a smile to her face. Mona very rarely got to work on away missions with the other Guild members. Then again, that was probably for the best; she isn’t the best team player.

“[color=fff200]I think we're supposed to protect Mona while she tampers the devices. The Librarium are bound to notice instantly that something is wrong.[/color]” Mona nodded her head towards the young Prince, waving her already outstretched hand to the front of her body in a crescent motion. The screens she had brought up followed the motion, opening up in front of the other two.

“[color=firebrick]I don’t need to be inside the building to hack their basic systems, but cutting them off is a bit more,[/color]” Mona spread her fingers open, zooming further in on an image that resembled a maze of flowing lights. “[color=firebrick]Complex.[/color]”

She pointed at specific circuits, highlighting them with her magic.
“[color=firebrick]The Librarium recently developed special Archive Barricades to stop nasty little parasites like me self from taking a peek at their juicier secrets.[/color]” She almost looked proud to wear such a demeaning title. Glad to be a thorn in the Librarium’s side more like. “[color=firebrick]I can get you guys past their security, but I won’t be able to touch their comms until those barricades are dealt with. Based on these schematics, I’d say there’s about two. One in the eastern and northern maintenance tunnels.[/color]”

Mona closed down her Archive screens, but not before beginning a data transfer to Huangdi and Sania.
“[color=firebrick]There ya go! Well, I’m going to see Cap’n and make the final arrangements. Meet me at the hangar for departure in about an hour.[/color]” Never missing a beat, Mona packed up the documents on the table and rolling them into a neat scroll. Tucking it under her arm, she turned to leave the barracks. During her ascent up the steps onto the deck, she quickly doubled back to offer one final wave. The excitement about tomorrow’s mission was apparent, even despite her normal, serious demeanor.
