[b]Koemi[/b]
----
Quiet steps and soft whistling could be heard traveling down the road as a ghostly girl passed by. Distant curiosity was often drawn to her, though the dark cloud that encircled just out of reach often warded it away. Pitch pecked Koemi's neck lightly, this was his way of getting her attention so she could focus on him in order to speak through telepathy. Her eyes widened as it caught her off guard, she was tired, sleeping outside makes it difficult to rest well.

"[i]Nigh-universal, isn't that a bit frightening Emi?[/i]" said the bird at the girl's left shoulder as it pressed it's face against her cheek.

"[i]Nothing to worry about Pitch, missions are there to be completed.[/i]" she replied, petting the bird to calm him down.

The meeting location was now in sight, one of her fellow birds fell from the sky landing on her right shoulder clumsily, squawking to Pitch in birdspeak before nuzzling Emi's neck lightly and taking flight once again to return to the swarm. What was said really wasn't at the top of her priorities at the moment, her partner realized this and kept silent. She had finally arrived and around her were some notable faces, which wasn't surprising for the mission's criteria and categorization, unluckily it the roulette of ignorance that is this [b]Ulysses[/b] guy, had finally landed within her midst. She'd heard stories of his [u]behavior[/u], and once set a few of her kin to follow the man for an hour or two, much to her dismay they were true.. [i]sigh[/i]. Then there was the strange [b]Beringer[/b] fellow, who, if she recalled correctly was a 'spy' of sorts for the corporation that built him, which isn't really unnerving for people would didn't care about his methods, but for competitive race-horse types she could understand why they'd dislike him. Lastly there was [b]Averus[/b], few were unfamiliar with this strange fellow who seems to have made meeting others and learning about them his life-purpose, or maybe he was just programmed that way. Nonetheless, she was clearly the least notorious person within the group and before she could finish processing the situation, the strange white-coated man began to speak.

After the coated fellow's speech had concluded, "[i]Any questions?[/i]" he asked.

There was clearly many to be asked, though no one would ask the important ones. "[i]Yeah, what do I shoot and when do I shoot it? With all due respect we've been standing here for a while and you just kept talking and talking and I still don't see what I'm supposed to blow up.[/i]" These words made Emi question if this mission was really worth the headache, avoiding people like that is usually the best option. So to emphasize this to herself, she took a very large step away from the group.

Now that this was accomplished, she could get her head straight and ask a worthwhile question for the situation at hand.

"[i]You mentioned her safety, why would there be any threat for an unknown girl to simply be out and about? Does she have a hit on her, possibly?[/i]" [/center]
