Pearl Harbor, Royal Navy Dormitory, Queen's Chambers
Date: Unknown
Sheffield and Edinburgh were kneeling, heads lowered. Queen Elizabeth walked back and forth in front of them, addressing complicated matters involving her future interests and deals.
The topic was Arizona: who he was, what his capabilities were, and how far he could go in espionage.
"I requested your presence as I require your talents in gathering information. I need strong and solid information about the man." She turned and faced the two maids on their knees.
"You two were tasked with keeping an eye on that man, Sheffield."
Sheffield raised her head as her name was called. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I believe you have a keen eye for reading a man's personality through his posture and manner. I trust that you'll perform well in keeping an eye on him." She said, as if the orders were crucial to National Defense.
"As you wish, Your Majesty." She then bowed her head.
Queen Elizabeth breathed, releasing some built-up tension as she composed her demeanor. "You two are dismissed."
The two maids lifted their heads and slowly walked out of the Queen's Quarters. Their movements were efficient, with no sound of tapping shoes audible upon their departure.
"Are you sure he's the right man you wanted for the job, Your Majesty?" Warspite inquired about her sudden interest in Arizona's superb undercover activities.
"If his resume (espionage capabilities) proves its worth, I wouldn't mind having him spy for me." Queen Elizabeth confidently said, expecting Arizona to be as loyal as a dog on a leash.
Warspite had a different view on this. If his resume was that superb, he wasn't the kind of man who liked to have a leash on his neck; rather, he would have that leash on the other person.
"Let's hope your assumption is right.... I'm having a bad feeling he would flip a table on you." She uttered.
"Nonsense, as soon as I strike a deal with Miss Enterprise, that wouldn't be a problem on my side."
"You're being spoiled by your own title, Your Majesty," Warspite uttered in concern.
Queen Elizabeth wanted to use Arizona to spy on her own inner circles and sniff out some opposition and some naughty officers who abused their rank, some who were making money out of her treasury and into the black market, and last but not least, a mole in the Royal Navy.
~Present day~
Three people were ducking their heads in the bushes, their presence concealed. Of the three, one was wearing Navy SEAL gear with a Ghillie Suit, and the other two in Maid Outfits were also wearing Ghillie suits to blend in the bushes.
"Report?" Arizona spoke.
Skipper gave his report. "The Imperial Palace was heating up as the inner circles of the Emperor were filled with horror as realizations dawned on them about our technological disparity. The opinions of each member were split, some choosing to be neutral in the chaos."
"Also, some of the members of the Emperor's inner circle would like to dump more money on finishing Orochi in time to clash with the Task Force," Kowalski added.
Edinburgh and Private reported. "The Fox Mansion seems to be a hotspot for big names of the Empire. I don't know how they still can afford such gatherings even though the whole situation was dire; they didn't feel like they were in a war at all. The topic of their conversation was that of military bureaucracy as private sectors betted on military contracts, and used the chaos to gain more contacts."
"Typical bureaucrats," Arizona muttered.
AZ-2, Alex and Marty, reported. "Status of Nagato is confirmed; she was being poisoned. We still couldn't get hold of the information of the culprit, but we surmised that it was one of the House Servants as it is the only one going in and out of the kitchen."
1
Marty added. "There's also no attempted assassination or murder; I surmised they're putting their trust in the poison to finish her off."
"Preferring poison means they were careful with their tracks of eliminating her," Sheffield also muttered.
As the reports of each team were gathered and sent back to the Task Force, they were now left to rest and recuperate themselves. Starting from day 1, everyone was on edge and didn't blink to not miss any crucial information.
Arizona and his team of Manjuu only had a small amount of time to recuperate and dine on the luxury cuisine that existed among the US Military Service Branches: MRE.
As the Americans indulged themselves in such luxury wrapped around fine plastic and chemical heating. The complexity (simplicity) of food stowed inside a plastic wrapper and a magical heater with added water baffled the Maids.
As the Americans were busy indulging in a squared pizza stowed cold inside a plastic wrapper, Arizona removed his attention from the Maids for a slight moment. He was surprised to see what the Maids had brought for their own.
The two Royal Maids brought out a teapot and teacups, along with a picnic mat. The whole thing looked like a damn field trip with all that purslane laid on top of the picnic mat.
The two Maids then proceeded to sip their tea and bite their biscuits. In the middle of an intense operation, the two Maids just sat down and brewed tea like it was a summer picnic in the woods.
Arizona and the Manjuus were all stunned at the two Maids who brought an entire set of dining form teacups to plates. And where the fuck those teacups and teapot came from.
Sheffield, noticing his stunned expression, spoke. "What's wrong? Saw something?" she asked in her typical cold and harsh undertone.
"Where did you get those items?" Arizona asked, as he pointed at the teapot.
Sheffield looked at the dining set and teacup she was holding. "We brought it along with us."
"Okay, understandable.... Where did you store those? I didn't see you bring any bags or storage boxes." He said, his voice sounding frantic.
"In our pockets," Edinburgh responded, as things were normal to them. But for the Americans, it was a new discovery: storage pockets existed in this world.
The Manjuus looked to their pockets to see if the words were true about storage pockets; to their dismay, no storage pockets were in their pockets.
"How in the name of Jesus can you fit a teapot inside a tiny pocket?" Arizona exclaimed.
Sheffield, sensing some opportunity to flex, curved a bit of a smile. "We Maids use some kind of storage pocket to store some items and essentials to our mission and duty."
Edinburgh added. "All Shipgirls or Kansens got their own inventory for weapons and items that were stored inside their ship storage."
"The fuck did you just say!" Arizona exclaimed. Edinburgh jolted in surprise, almost spilling her tea at his sudden outburst.
"I've been carrying this goddamn backpack for the duration of my mission, when I could just store all of the equipment in my goddamn pocket!"
Arizona quickly checked his storage. To his surprise, his storage was plenty of freedom bearing from small to bigger caliber, and explosive to non-lethal.
"Holy shit! That's a lot!" Skipper exclaimed after seeing the Freedom inventory.
"Are we able to craft on a furnace a C-4 to Ultimate C-4?" Alex asked, thinking about Minecraft knowledge of forging.
The other Manjuus looked at him as if it even could be possible to start with. "Is that even fucking possible?" They all asked.
After calming down, Arizona closed his storage inventory. He'd been in the forest carrying a backpack that carried a pack to store the necessary equipment used for information gathering. The revelation of inventory was great news as it cut the time and logistics of upcoming operations.
"Okay... back to our current plans and discussion... Edinburgh and Sheffield. You two need to infiltrate the houses of the Militarist faction members, and find any information about the plan sabotage. I want you two to infiltrate the founder's house of the Militarist Faction.... Imperial Advisor Shendo... I have suspicion that guy is planning something behind the Emperor's back."
Sheffield slowly nodded. "Got it."
Market place 4:00 PM
JS Maya and Lucas were walking at the Street market filled with erected stores, as they looked for anything that would catch their eyes. JS Maya was wearing her Japanese Officer Naval Uniform and Lucas was wearing his Dress Blues of the Marine Corps.
But this time, he brought his trusted piece of elastic (Glow Belt) that would save his chastity with the predators surrounding him. Like every man does at night, trusting a piece of elastic with their future, while doing some 'nightly festivities'.
The two caught most of the Sakuran Citizens' eyes; they thought the two were on a date, as they walked in the middle. JS Maya was greeted by passing people. Lucas knew only a few Japanese words, as he understood what the old lady said to JS Maya.
"For fuck's sake, we're not that." He muttered under his breath.
The whole marketplace was full of life. Kids were running around and their mothers were buying them sweets. But their gazes at them were not new to them since this afternoon. Gossips arose between the residents, as the words on the Bath House spread like wildfire.
"I can't believe you pulled such nonsense in front of the Agents." JS Maya spoke, somewhat amused and annoyed at Lucas's storytelling.
Yes, Lucas's story, coated with crack and MRE, was audibly heard by the Sakuran Girls at the Women's side of the Bath House. His outlandish story, and borderline ludicrous, sent a wave of laughter through the Girls. Everyone in the Bath was drowning with laughter at his story. The younger ones in the Bath were captivated at his adventurous story, sparkles could be seen in their eyes.
"Sorry, my bad... I was in a precarious situation. I was surrounded by Sakuran and Iron Blood Agents on both sides, I had to entertain them at least to not waste their time and effort of eavesdropping some snippets." Lucas said in his typical humor.
After Lucas warned her about the barging Iron Blood Girls, Z-23 and Z-1 entered the bath to eavesdrop for some snippets of conversation. To their dismay and entertainment, Lucas's story reached their ears. Z-1 broke into laughter as soon as she heard Lucas craft his outlandish story.
Unofficially, Lucas gained his own fan club with that storytelling of his. The kids found it funny and entertaining.
The Takao sisters were also there and heard his outlandish story. Atago and Choukai were captivated at the nonsense and nonchalance, the creativity he pulled out of his ass.
Takao was in a split decision as she held herself from laughing at his outlandish story. She's holding herself from falling into the insanity of his story. She's not alone with that predicament, as Souryuu challenged her calm and collective posture from laughing.
Hiryuu and the others raised the flag, as she and the rest of the Sakuran Girls succumbed to the outlandish story and laughed.
JS Maya's mind was still reeling from the chaos that Lucas had unleashed among the Girls in the Bath House. The Bath House was filled with laughter.
Lucas saw her anxious looks plastered all over her face and tried to lighten her mood. "Umm.... Hey... Would you like some treats?" He inquired to catch her attention out of blank space.
JS Maya snapped back and agreed to his offer. "Maybe a couple of sweets ain't that bad."
"Alright, let's go."
The two then headed to a store that was selling Japanese sweets. Before they could reach the store, they had a little encounter.
A group of Girls wearing Kindergarten Clothes and hats with dog ears and tails was running around the Street Market without any adult supervising them.
"Come on... the store is already nearby." One of the Destroyers, wearing typical kindergarten clothing, yelled at the others.
"Hey. Wait for me." One of the Destroyers pleaded, but she ended up being left behind. She could not run faster like her sisters and bumped into them.
The little Destroyer bumped into JS Maya's right leg; she fell to her left a bit. But she was caught by Lucas from falling on the hard ground.
"You alright?" Lucas asked, as he caught her.
"Y-Yeah." JS Maya replied, as a little red could be seen in her face.
They then gazed at the culprit. It was a Little Destroyer who bumped into them. She was facing the ground, as she fell. They kneeled down at her height and asked her.
"Are you alright, Kid?" JS Maya asked.
The Destroyer started to get up and looked at them. "Hai. I'm alright—"
She paused, as she saw Lucas's face. She was so scared of him and started tearing up. She only knew about him in the stories of Yukikaze and Takao.
JS Maya noticed this and spoke. "She's afraid of you, could you please stop staring at her?"
"Fine, whatever. Hey, Kid?" The Destroyer jolted and made a noise.
"Would you like some candy?" Lucas asked nicely.
The Kid nodded. "Ha-Hai."
"Okay. Come on, just follow us. We are heading there anyways." He pointed at the candy store.
JS Maya asked her friendly. "What's your name Little one?"
"MA-Ma-My name is Uzuki." Uzuki said, as she wiped her own tears.
'Great. Mutsuki Class, no wonder why she's clumsy.' Lucas thought, as he read the data Base connection on his ship. About the history of Mutsuki Class and its subsequent fate.
"Nice to meet you Uzuki. My name is JS Maya and This is Lucas." She gestured to the man beside her.
"Sup, kid." Lucas waved his right hand.
"H-Hai" Uzuki said, still scared of him.
JS Maya and Lucas stood up and helped the kid get to her own feet. But, her right knee was bruised from earlier when she was on her knees.
Uzuki cried, as she felt her right knee hurt. Lucas pulled out a bandage from his pocket and applied it to her injured knee.
JS Maya was dumbfounded at him for pulling out a bandage in his pocket. "When did you... get a bandage?"
Lucas looked at her. "Never asks a man, what stuff we put inside our pockets. There are things you shouldn't know." He said.
Lucas then picked Uzuki up like a baby. JS Maya nodded slowly, as she too was hiding something in her pockets. "Alright... let's go then."
The three then headed to the store. As they headed to the store, they saw the other Destroyers that were wearing the same outfit as her. Mutsuki sisters were looking for their one sister that got separated, they then saw her accompanied by the Two.
"There she is." One Destroyer pointed out.
"Who's that with her?" Kisaragi asked, as she teared up from losing Uzuki out of their sight.
"I don't know?" Mutsuki answered, and licked her lollipop.
Lucas put Uzuki down and she ran towards her siblings. They then hugged her, like she was lost and just found.
"Are you guys friends with her?" JS Maya asked.
The Destroyers nodded. "Hai~."
"My friend Lucas here would like to treat you all with free candy." JS Maya remarked, to reassure their concern that they were not some bad person.
"Wait. I didn't agree to this." Lucas exclaimed; he was then elbowed by her to just go with it.
"Hai. He promises to treat us all with candies." Uzuki said.
Mutsuki Class Destroyers cheered, as they were all being treated with Candies. Lucas could only see his wallet flying.
"Fine whatever." Lucas said, as he could now feel his wallet in pain.
Mutsuki for some reason recognized his voice. "Hey, wait. Are you that guy who made that story?" She said, her finger pointed at him.
Lucas blinked as he never had thought someone would recognize his voice from that outlandish story he pulled out of his ass, and based from the eyes of the Mutsuki Sisters' eyes, they were all captivated.
"Yes... that's me." He confirmed.
The Mutsukis cheered as they were now being given free candy by the man with the outlandish and entertaining story. Unexpectedly, Lucas was now seen as a Nice Guy by the Mutsukis.
Surrounded by the eager toddlers, he had no choice but to treat these kids. He conceded and went to the store.
"How much for 9 packs of candy?" he asked for the candy he picked at the Store.
He then pondered. 'Thank god I exchanged my Dollar to Japanese/Sakuran yen, whatever you called it.'
The store owner gave him the candy, as Lucas gave him the payment. He then went out of the candy store and gave the 7 Mutsuki Class 1 pack of candy each; he then gave the last pack of candy to JS Maya.
The two said goodbyes to the Mutsukis, as they separated. "Bye, Nee-Chan..."
JS Maya and Lucas then sat at the bench, as they watched the lively Market Street at night. The Street Market was being lit up by Paper lamps in any shape and sizes, as the whole theme was similar to a festival in Japan at night.
"This is quite a refreshing sight, isn't it Maya?" Lucas remarked.
"Yes, this city is peaceful and lively even though the threat of war is looming."
"Yeah. Sorry about that. I know you hate war, but war is war." He said.
"Ara~Ara I didn't know the two of you are dating." A very familiar voice was heard from their side.
Lucas was the first one to respond. "Oh. It's Atago and Choukai. What brings you here?"
"Ara, we are just only walking around and saw the two of you sitting at the bench, so we thought we might greet the two of you." Atago said.
Choukai greeted them and waved a hand. "Hello..."
JS Maya and Lucas greeted her. "Hello."
"By the way I have a question, are the two of you on a date?" Choukai asked.
JS Maya looked away as to hide her turning red face.
"Nah. We are just sitting here and taking our time." Lucas just shrugged it off, as he played innocent.
"Really? You are just sitting there?" Atago's eyes lit up at the information.
"Yeah..." And this answer was enough to convince her. His magical piece of Elastic Plastic (pt Belt) would be tested.
Atago then sat right next to him, grabbed his left hand, and placed it between her cushions and proceeds to compressed it with her hydraulic press. JS Maya flinched at the sight.
Lucas panicked as his left hand was being squeezed between her 'melons'. "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!" Atago giggled.
"Don't worry, she's always like that to any guy she likes. Just be careful of her hug, she has a tendency to choke them to death," Choukai said with a reassuring voice, but neither Lucas nor JS Maya were convinced.
( IMAGE )
JS Maya responded, "EH!" Lucas yelled, "What?!"
"Ara~Ara... What is the meaning of this?" A woman's voice was heard in front of them. It sounded like a wife catching her husband cheating in 4K.
Their gaze fixed on the direction of the voice. Two Fox-Women were staring at them, their eyes glowing fiery red and blue.
"Ara~ It's you, Akagi," Atago said as she hugged Lucas's left arm tightly. "We are just having some good time."
"He, he, heh. Having a good time, EH?!" Akagi exclaimed.
Lucas remembered Langley's warning. "Listen here, Lucas, there are 5 women you have to be careful with:
1. Roon, Roon is the kind of woman who is beyond crazy.
2. Atago, Atago is the kind of woman who will seduce you or hug you to death.
3. Eugen, Eugen will do everything in her power and cunning ability to gain information from you. And maybe use her body.
4. Taihou, Taihou is your typical 'hoe'.
5. Akagi, Akagi has a crazy level on its own, she is your typical yandere with fox-ears and tails. If she saw her prey, she would not stop until she gets it."
"So, you're Akagi, right—" Lucas was rudely interrupted by Kaga.
"You are not allowed to speak until we say so."
Lucas cursed inside his head as he was interrupted by her. 'Go suck a dick.'
JS Maya thought, 'Damn, she's cold.'
"Let him be, Kaga-chan~" Akagi said in her calm tone.
"Hai, Nee-sama."
"What brought you here, Akagi?" Atago asked.
"I'm here to meet the diplomats without any disturbance, but it looks like you got him first," Akagi replied as she gazed at them with fiery eyes.
"Ara~Ara, it seems like it~," Atago hugged his hand even tighter.
Lucas could feel the bones in his right arm being crushed. Slowly, "Umm.... Atago?"
"Hai~," Atago replied in a sweet, childish voice.
"Could you please let go of my left hand? I think my hand is about to fall off," Lucas remarked.
"Sorry. But I could not 'Darling'~."
This statement was enough to break Akagi's ego. "Let him go, you damn whore!" Akagi then proceeded to separate the two.
Akagi tried to yank Lucas from Atago's grip. As Lucas was being pulled by Akagi on his right arm, and his left arm by Atago, he was currently being pulled from both sides like a tug of war.
JS Maya just watched them without giving any crap about the things going on. Choukai noticed this and asked her, "Aren't you afraid... he's being seduced by the two?"
"He's a Marine, he's been through a lot of crazy shenanigans than this. He's just waiting for a moment to escape," JS Maya said, as she watched them do a tug of war with him.
The words from Atago's at the Bathhouse were still stuck in her head. If she helped him, that would prove Eugen's words. 'Defending my man.... huh?' She thought.
"Oh, I see," Choukai said, still not convinced.
Lucas thought of a plan to escape these two 'hoes' at once; he couldn't find any distraction. But then he saw someone sneaking to get closer to them, he smiled and shouted to get their attention.
"Look, a HOE!"
Atago, Akagi, Kaga, and Choukai looked at the direction he pointed. Then they saw a figure sneaking to get closer to them.
"Taihou?!" Everyone yelled.
Taihou was shocked that she was discovered so easily. She tried so hard to be sneaky, but she still got caught. "Nani!?"
"What are you doing here, Bitch!?" Akagi asked, with disdain in her voice.
"Did... you just... call me... a Bitch!?" Taihou asked, as she got closer to her. Their 'cushions' collided as they maintained their stare at each other.
The two 'hoes' were now hissing at each other, as they bumped their chests at each other. Like a freaking cushion.
"Umm... Nee-sama?" Kaga tapped her half-sister on the shoulder.
"Not now, Kaga," Akagi responded, ignoring her words.
"Nee-sama! He's gone!" Kaga shouted, to get her half-sister's attention.
Everyone looked at his position, but he was gone. Even Atago couldn't believe he was gone in an instant. "Ara~?"
"Whoa. That was quick!" That was the only reaction Choukai could muster, as she too didn't expect him to disappear like that.
Lucas used the opportunity to escape them, he also dragged JS Maya along as he ran away. He activated his ECM so that they could not be followed by them. His quick acceleration as a destroyer helped him to move quickly and escape.
"HEY. Could you please stop dragging me? I'm too tired," JS Maya complained of being dragged by him.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I couldn't just leave you there. Besides, those four give me red flags," Lucas replied, while running away from the 'hoes'.
"Okay~.... But I must say... this is fun," JS Maya said as she smiled.
"Y-Yeah, that was fun," Lucas stuttered as he saw her smile.
As they ran away from the 'hoes', they then reached Nagato's Mansion where they were greeted by a Black Car. The two stopped at the entrance gate, as their guard was up.
"Looks like he leaves without saying any goodbyes, huh?" Atago said.
Akagi then sat down beside Atago, crossing her legs and biting her nails.
"So, that's how quick he was on the battlefield, Atago?" Akagi asked in a serious tone.
Atago got serious too. "Hai. Those two are quite maneuverable like a destroyer when I first encountered him and Maya."
"I see. The fact that we couldn't even notice and detect him leaving? Is something a mystery even to me," Akagi remarked.
"I know what you're talking about, no man can escape you. But this one just escaped without leaving any trace..." Taihou chimed in.
The three were now sitting on the bench where JS Maya and Lucas left. The three sat with their legs crossed.
"Let me change the subject. How's Project Orochi?" Atago asked, as the atmosphere tensed up a bit at the mention of Orochi.
"Let's just say, it is reaching 90% operational tomorrow~," Akagi replied, with a sadistic smile.
"Ara~Ara, you're quite a sadist one, Akagi," Taihou said.
"Oh... really now...."
Nagato's Mansion 6:00 PM
"Oh... It was you, William, I thought it was someone else," Lucas said.
"Do I look that suspicious?" William asked, as he searched himself.
"Yes. Because you came out in a black car while wearing a lab coat and umm.... Shoukaku is escorting you?" Lucas asked with enthusiasm.
"Yeah... she drove me from Yamato's Mansion to Nagato's Mansion," William pointed at her.
"Did you have fun?" Lucas asked.
"Do I look like I'm having fun? What about you, did you have some fun?"
"Well, we bumped into a bunch of destroyers, and I got cornered by three bitches."
"Let me guess, Atago, Akagi, and Taihou?"
"Yes," Lucas immediately responded.
"Figures," William said.
"How was yours then?" Lucas asked.
"The head of the snake finally showed himself," William said as he puffed smoke.
"No, the other head of the snake," William said with a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Shendo," Lucas said dramatically.
William slowly nodded.
They then continued their discussion as they entered the Gate of the Mansion. They were greeted by Mikasa; she was waiting for their arrival at the entrance.
"Oh. Lady Mikasa, how long have you been waiting there?" William asked.
"No. I was just sitting down a bit," Mikasa replied, as she forced a smile at him.
JS Maya noticed a hidden grim expression on her face, and asked. "Is something wrong, Lady Mikasa?"
"Hai. Looks like you are right, Doctor. Someone is poisoning Lady Nagato, and one of the culprits is one of the dogs of the Militarist Faction in the Palace."
Shoukaku was shocked at the revelation. "H-How could they do such a thing? The Emperor will be mad if she was poisoned by the Militarist Faction."
JS Maya comforted the shocked Shoukaku. "It's alright, Shoukaku-san. It's alright...."
"There are no fair fights in the name of Politics, Shoukaku. That guy, Shendo, is just using his influence and power that threatens his plan. And they are targeting her, because she opposed them..." William said it, as Lucas and JS Maya only nodded in agreement.
Lucas spoke. "The world of Politics is full of shady business and assassination. They can't kill her directly, so they're going to kill her indirectly."
At the dark corner of the Mansion.
Two figures hid in the shadow as they listened to the conversation in the living room of Nagato's Mansion.
"Looks like the plan is unfolded." A Female Operative spoke in muffled tones, as they were the only two who could hear it.
"I know... We should report this... the discovery of the poison could hinder the boss's future plan. Tell them, tell them the mission is compromised," the other Female Operative spoke, as she eyed everyone in the room.
"Hai."
The two Secret Agents vanished into the shadows, as they reported the recent failed mission.
Shendo's Mansion
Sheffield and Edinburgh slowly crept through the hallways to not arouse any suspicion. Their target was the Office of the Imperial Advisor to look for any evidence.
Sheffield slowly slid the door open without making any creaking noise. She headed first, and Edinburgh slowly closed the door behind her.
They both looked around, at the table and drawers to find some solid evidence. They scoured any potential hiding spots for important documents, and found none.
The mission order came from Miss Enterprise to look for any evidence, if Shendo convinced the Emperor not to surrender. The future and fate of this Empire were in Miss Enterprise's hands, and solid evidence was crucial.
'What did he mean by 'The fate of this Empire will be judged by Miss Enterprise'? What does he mean by that?' Sheffield thought, as she searched throughout the room for evidence.
Edinburgh, the clumsy one, tripped over the floor mattress unexpectedly. She stepped over something peculiar below the mattress floor.
"Ouchieee..." she wailed.
Sheffield caught the hidden spot they had been looking for. She lifted the mattress and found a secret vault. Both Maids then looked at one another at their findings.
Sheffield, without wasting any time, slowly turned the knob while she listened to the turning gears inside as the gear's lock matched.
As the vault unlocked, she then opened it slowly. The contents of the vaults surprised both her and Edinburgh as they both smiled.
"We found it," Edinburgh said cheerfully.
Sheffield then brought out a High-Resolution Camera and started taking pictures of the plans written in the Sakuran Language.
After taking the photo, she radioed back. "This is Sheffield.... We've hit a jackpot."
