It had been an interesting last few days, but Sokaiya wasn’t a fan of sitting around. There was still something she had to take care of at GEMINI HQ now that she had access to its facilities. She exited her apartment that she had just recently rented. It was a humble little place, faded paint, some worn utilities, but it was serviceable and comfortable enough. She hobbled her way a short way down the street as she approached a shed that was secured with a few large padlocks. But the shed was in such a condition, with broken dusty cobwebbed windows that Sokaiya doubted anyone would ever bother to check what was inside.
[h1][/h1]
Slowly but surely pulling out a key-ring from her pouch she inserted one key after another until she found the right ones to undo each padlock. It was a quiet enough afternoon, no one seemed to be around as she started to swing open the creaking dilapidated door of the shed. Revealing a covered car as she let out a sigh moving over to it as she used her cane to poke up underneath the corner of the cover, giving it a flick as she flinged the cover off revealing the old muscle car underneath. [url=https://i.imgur.com/C4uc0Fl.jpeg] Blue with white racing stripes down the middle[/url], it was her pride and joy, a relic much like herself.
[h1][/h1]
Standing there as she admired it for a moment she ran her old hand down the side of the door to the door handle. [color=silver]“Nothing is better than an ole classic, how about we go for a little ride and stir up some trouble….”[/color] settling into the bucket seat as she took the key from the key ring and jammed it into the ignition, shutting the door with a satisfying thud. She threw over the lap belt and secured it as she turned the key, giving the car a little gas as its small block fired up and started to rumble, the sensation of the engine shaking the car, the smell, the feel, it was all how cars were meant to be as far as Sokaiya was concerned.
[h1][/h1]
She reached her old hand down and grabbed the shifter, giving it a small wiggle as she engaged it into first gear as it rumbled out of the shed. She took a right as she started to cruise through the streets on her way to GEMINI. Taking it easy as she came to a stop at a stop sign, a much newer and modern car rolled up alongside, a young man with sunglasses at the wheel as she glanced over. 
[h1][/h1]
[color=f7941d]“What's up with that old pile of scrap, did the both of you just escape the museum of ancient history or something Grandma? I paid top dollar for this marvel of technology, with all the bells and whistles….”[/color] Laughing as he bragged and taunted, which only brought a devious smile to the old woman. 
[h1][/h1]
[color=silver]“Oh? This ole thing? It's just an old Shelby, how about we have a little race young man, let's see just how fast that super-car of yours is….”[/color] Throwing down the challenge to the young man, baiting the hook as she knew someone like him would jump at the chance to show off his expensive toy.
[h1][/h1]
[color=f7941d]“Don’t make me laugh Grandma, that bucket of bolts will fall apart before you even hit 20, but you're on, I’d hate to do this to my elders, but you asked for it….”[/color] 
[h1][/h1]
Sokaiya laughed as she sat up in her seat, gripping the shifter a little tighter as she revved the small block a few times as the young man did the same with his car. They made eye contact one last time and with a nod of the head the race began, the young man shooting off ahead as Sokaiya remained stationary for a moment giving him a head start. Once she was satisfied she had waited long enough, she dropped the clutch, her foot mashed against the gas pedal as the small block roared to life, firing on all cylinders, tires squealing as she left a cloud of smoke behind. Running him down, she was able to pull up alongside him as he looked over in surprise and confusion, having thought he had it in the bag easily from the start. He started to push his own car even more, Sokaiya grinned as she flipped a switch on her steering wheel to reveal a button, jamming her old thumb onto it as it engaged the NOS which threw her back into her seat as she rocketed ahead leaving the young man in her dust.
[h1][/h1]
In his efforts to keep up he lost control, spinning out as he hit a few trash cans as his car came to a skidding stop, he slammed his hands on the dashboard in frustration [color=f7941d]“That damn old hag, just what the hell is she driving, a rocket ship?”[/color] He blurted out as he watched her disappear into the distance.
[h1][/h1]
That little bit of fun concluded, Sokaiya finally reached GEMINI HQ, parking a short distance away in the most secluded area she could find. Wanting to ensure that no one disturbed her ride, she hobbled her way over to HQ. Making her way inside she started to take a good look around, wanting to get a better idea of the building's layout as she had only gotten a glimpse of it for a brief period before.
[h1][/h1]
She quickly noticed that the HQ was not as busy as the last time she had been here, which likely explained why she was hired in the first place. She made her way around the building bit by bit, exploring as she came to a brief stop outside some of the more important locations, eyeing them over for a moment as she got familiar with the place. 
[h1][/h1]
Once she had finished her exploration, she made her way to the nearest computer terminal as she took a glance around before she pulled a data transmitter from her pouch and plugged it into the terminal. She then opened it up and started to dig through the files that were available to her, as she started to dig through the last few mission debriefing reports making note of the details as she found the debriefing for the last mission. 
[h1][/h1]
Searching through the files, she came across the personal roster and files of all that had been involved. She reached back into her pouch and pulled out an ear piece as she stuck it into her ear. [color=silver]“I need you to start pulling as many files as you can manage, if you can breach into the more confidential stuff that will be a bonus….”[/color]She muttered in her old wizened voice as the data transmitter started to glow.
[h1][/h1]
[color=ec008c]“Your voice sounds different, I don’t like this one bit, don’t you know that GEMINI works for the government, they are all aliens in disguise ... .reptilians or even greys…all organized to fund the agenda of world domination so they can sell us lawn mowers that we will have no choice to buy, creating a monopoly….”[/color] the frantic and conspiracy laced voice in her ear respond as Sokaiya let out a sigh [color=silver]“Just focus…its likely the signal causing a bit of interference ”[/color]
[h1][/h1]
Pausing her search when she came across Finn’s file, the word resigned plastered across his image as she read through the debriefing of his actions during the last operation. [color=silver]“Interesting…it seems he has taken a new path…a far more interesting path...”[/color] smiling as she flipped through the file reading the details about the failed rescue of Regina Bates, and the appearance of Tony of The Hand. Once she was satisfied with that bit, she searched through the next few files, pausing when she came to the bit that contained information about Raphael and the short little team up with GEMINI,[color=silver] “Desperate times call for desperate measure I suppose, the numbers thin, but the pressure never decreases, but it does at least explain the Churches presence…its a shame that fella survived”[/color] She also made note of the personal file of the free lancer Sovereign who had been listed as KIA and was the one that had seemingly attacked Raphael without warning [color=silver]"A shame...its a wonder that they have no details about the motive but it doesn't matter now I s'pose..."[/color]
[h1][/h1]
Flipping through a few more files, covering the debriefing from the Knight of Tomorrow and Cerberus, she felt satisfied with the information she had been able to glean, plus the other data that would be gathered by her accomplice may provide even more juicy knowledge. [color=silver]“Finish up, I’m done here, this old lady is ready for her afternoon nap…besides my sister seems to be having more fun than me lately so[/color] [color=fff200]I[/color][color=silver] gotta step it up…”[/color] removing the earpiece right away to avoid the response of her accomplice as she put it back into her pouch, before she took the data transmitter and put it back as well. 
[h1][/h1]
Grabbing her cane, she began to hobble away back down a hall and making her way towards the exit. [color=silver]“Oh GEMINI, my dear GEMINI, look at the hard times that have befell upon you..”[/color]
