The first thing Almira did when she arrived in her space is to let loose. The door’s already closed and there are no more prying eyes, she can unveil her bunny ears and be comfortable with the least amount of clothing possible.

She set the box on one side and let go of her jacket and hat, putting it on one side. Riley and Neilsy were busy relaxing in the pretty large bed, quickly regretting their decision to lie down as the bed proved to be much harder than expected.

[color=1A9D60]“Alright Q-T, you can go out of your box now,”[/color] Almira said, opening the box to reveal the Q-T-sized content hidden inside. [color=1A9D60]“You can observe the room and move around all you want, just don’t get outside that door and we’ll be fine.”[/color] The woman pointed to the door where she was brought into.

Looking at Neilsy and Riley. Almira quickly postulated that their intended function was to relax and enjoy their leisurely house arrest while Srikandi and Anki would be busy with adventuring and all the fun stuff that comes with it. While the Captain isn’t necessarily thrilled at the prospect of sitting down while Garrett, Catherine and the rest of her team would be busy doing stuff. She does know that Neilsy and Riley ain’t exactly combat-worthy material out here.

That leaves only Almira and possibly Q-T who can leave the area and fight any potential threats. Something the woman is taking into account.

[color=1A9D60]“Alright, everyone. I’m just wondering here, but I think that I haven’t seen the city in it’s full glory yet. So I am wondering if we want to explore the area somewhat and be back here without anyone knowing about it.”[/color]

She looked at Q-T. [color=1A9D60]“You do have a stealth mod installed right? The one with the reflective screens and all that fun stuff? I can lend you the program if you don’t have it. I was just thinking that, maybe, just maybe, you can go out of the door there, with that stealth mod on, and explore the city and all its surroundings for all of us. This is completely up to you though Q-T, I’m just thinking of some ideas here so that we’re not bored to death waiting for Almira and Anki to finish up whatever they’re doing. Might give us some valuable info on the inhabitants of this city and what they’re doing.”[/color]

[color=1A9D60]“So… what do you think?”[/color] Almira asked Q-T.

…

Srikandi’s mind was all over the place as she surveyed the area she was led to. The leads she got from the city officials have gotten her and her group to the Adventurer’s quarters, the place where she saw familiar faces strewn all about. All of them could be the mole to the dark lord.

The leads have given her three individuals with the characteristics seen. An individual from Gremarre with blonde hair and wearing a thick jacket (she was reminded of a certain alchemist, but pretty sure she’s not the one) prodding around the local adventurer’s quarters asking questions about the meteor, an individual with thick black hair seemingly coming from Himetsu wearing Oberian clothing, and an individual with a thick beard carrying a sword, they seem to congregate at a house somewhere in town.

She has briefed her team as to what’s happening, but she doesn’t know how Almira’s team operates, so she is gauging their operating procedures while they’re all sitting at a tavern.

[color=50c8ff][b]“So. I was wondering, but how do you conduct internal investigations in your uhh, ship?” Srikandi asked. “Because I have an idea on how we conduct this investigation, and I want to be on the same page with you regarding this matter.”[/b][/color]

[color=50c8ff][b]“I usually conduct investigations like these by asking people around, and personally look at the sights in the area and see what feels off. Usually when something feels off, even just by a hair. I am usually on the right track, let’s just say that tracking corruption from the dark lord is very straightforward if you know what you’re doing.”[/b][/color]

[color=50c8ff][b]“The problem lies in fighting them once they’ve been outed. Oftentimes I usually need help in fights against aqgents of the dark lord, they usually possess powerful magic and superhuman strength, while I can compensate for that with my summons. Fighting two or three agents of the dark lord can be a bit too much even for me, and I usually call for someone’s help on the matter.”[/b][/color]

[color=50c8ff][b]“I feel that we need to be close to each other investigating this since I am not sure if we can signal to each other should we get into trouble. But what do you think about this? We have three individuals of interest, and I propose we split into teams of two to deal with two of these individuals first and then team up for the third. Miss Sumiye, since you are not a fighter, I think it would be best if you accompany me for this task. I would not like for a member of Almira’s crew to be killed in action for the moment, do you have any suggestions for how we conduct this investigation by the way?”[/b][/color]

Srikandi was busy gauging the responses of each of these individuals, not sure how any of them would respond.

…

Anki and her team finally arrived at the Elven Quarters. The Automaton woman surveying the various Elvenfolk milling about and doing their daily lives. She has brought both Catherine and Dumas, both of them are potentially deadly in fights, but none of them are familiar factors in Anki’s short-lived life.

She is not sure as to what to investigate either, by the looks of it. The agents in the Elven quarters are all elves that came from Oberia, a natural extension considering Oberia’s elven population, most likely the highest in the world.

The wrinkle in her investigation is the fact that everyone are elves in this quarter, and that everyone looks roughly the same, with the only difference being skin colour, slight visual inherited differences due to the tropical climate of Cendana.

Anki got information that the elves are ‘indistinguishable’ from the regular elves. And this just adds a further wrinkle, since all of the elves here look visibly sun-kissed, sporting outside looks similar to Srikandi rather than the elves in her homeland.

[color=DEB887]“We have a slight problem here.”[/color] Anki mused to herself, sitting on a bench flanked by Catherine and Dumas.

[color=DEB887]“So we need to find a single elf, a female elf, and the information we received is that she is ‘indistinguishable’ from the other elven population of Cendana. A problem considering the majority Elven population here. I am sure that you have eyes, but we are the ones that stand out in this particular neighbourhood, and this will add further complications due to our clearly foreign nature.”[/color]

[color=DEB887]“Catherine, Dumas. I was wondering but personally, I am thinking about passive observation, look for anything that stands out, I don’t know about this, but do you have a spell that might make us invisible Catherine?” The automaton mused. “If we are invisible, we could probably conduct our investigation in a much more discreet manner, find out our Elf of interest without anyone noticing.”[/color]

[color=DEB887]“Otherwise, we are the ones that stick out here, all of us are from Avalia, so we are Northerners for these individuals, and we stick out like a sore thumb, our chances are not high in searching for the Elf in question if she can notice our mannerisms from a long distance and evade our detection.”[/color]

She then turned her head 90 degrees towards Catherine and then to Dumas. [color=DEB887]“Do you have any other suggestions that I might be receptive towards?”[/color]
