Infinite Stratos: Zero Hour

Cecilia remained, as ever, unimpressed. "Since my family history is so easily looked up on the Internet, perhaps a better question is why don't you already know that? As usual, it falls to me to educate someone of lesser personal stature. My parents were killed in a train crash when I was only a little girl. I've had to fight tooth and nail to keep my family fortune safeguarded and out of the hands of greedy business owners." Triumph shone in her eyes as she allowed herself to show just a hint of a smirk. "So please, tell me again that I have no idea what it's like to have to fight for your position!"

Sarah nodded "Ok then, I admit I was wrong. I don't really know your history because I didn't need to. But I've been in enough talks with Mira to know that you are one of those people that never give up when they want to prove themselves better" Sarah sat down again "You have your money, but I do know that I am richer then you"

"Not to mention you're of lower birth." Cecilia said, slightly annoyed. "Now, if you're done trying in vain to somehow depict yourself as my superior..."

"No, I'm done" Sarah then looks at Luara and Charlotte "So one of you three is vain, what are you two like? Well I know Luara is something straight out of a military textbook, but you Charlotte I'm drawing a blank"

General War and Orimura continued to walk around the base discussing the situation when orimura found a sea anemone behind a trash can "What the hell is this doing here?"

Ward looks at the creature and sighs "Tatenashi must be wanting to get under Mira's skin again"

"I'm...sorry?" Charlotte didn't know quite what to make of Sarah's statement. "Drawing a blank?"

"You really don't stand out among your peers. Your talented but you don't want to draw attention to yourself. Why?"

"Ah..." Charlotte's gaze went to the ceiling, the wall, the floor, anywhere but directly at somebody. "N-no reason. I guess I'm not really very sociable."

"You are going to become the head of the biggest IS producer on the planet. I don't believe that your very sociable, even if you had your family making you like that. You went to the academy you have friends"

Charlotte folded her arms, somewhat defensively. "Oui. Laura, Lingyin..."

Sarah raised her hands "Sorry if I offended you"

"I-it's fine. You meant no harm." Charlotte appeared relieved that the subject had been dropped.

Sarah took three metal key cards out of her pocket "These are the keys to your rooms, fallow the signs and you should find them"

The three of them proceeded to do so.

Mira was in the base's workshop, usually where equipment was repaired. She had taken apart a chainsaw and was making...modifications to it.

Ward appears behind her "What are you doing?" he asks

Sarah walks away and takes a nap in her room

"Making a present for the prisoners." Mira said without missing a beat.

Laura sat on her bed and stared across the room at the wall. She wondered if she'd just been transferred from the Buneswehr and into the United Nations' little operation here.

****

Charlotte opted to sit at the provided desk (not that it deserved the name, next to what the Academy had given them, but whatever), head in her hands. She wondered how much longer she was going to be able to keep this up, especially if Sarah continued to ask questions.

Cecilia was handling things much better than the other two "recruits." She was currently on the phone with her maid and housekeeper, making arrangements for the continued management of her estate and the purchase of some new outfits.

Ward drops a laser sharpener next to Mira "You didn't get it from me" he says walking away

Mira took it and began using it.

The sharpener alowed her to put a laser coating on her chainsaw, Basically it was a lightsaber now

Ward went down to the prisoners "You two better talk because I have a crazy girl who is dying to talk to you"

Mira was not, in fact, building a chainsaw - she was turning one into a chainsaw-sized egg beater. All the same, now that it had laser blades it was even more awesome.

"Do you really expect us to talk?" M asks

"No, I expect to to scream what you know"

Mira tested out her new creation. Instead of the constant whirr of the blades spinning so close, it was more of a staticky drone sound, like a lightsaber. At any rate it was done. She hefted her creation and went for the detention level.

When Mira got there she heard Ward say "You can come in"

She revved her lightsaber chainsaw eggbeater  and stepped inside, grinning broadly.

Both M and A were trained soldiers, even so both of them were horrified at Mira's entrance

"Got something you want to say now?"

Neither of them answered

"Pitty"Ward says leaving "Don't make to big of a mess" he says closing the door. He then activates his coms and calls tatenashi "You might want to stop recording the detention rooms"

"Mira?"

"Mira"

"Camera's off"

"Ladies!" Mira revved her contraption up some more. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
