A.N.: Chapter Seven.

Hello dear readers. Updates can become longer in the future due to exams coming up for me. Also, I am still researching Destiny and GFL because, when I started this story, I just started to get into the proper Destiny lore and the lore books. I am currently playing, or trying to play, throu the raids so I can learn more about them.

The problems of a solo player I guess.

Well, on to the story.


As the three dolls and one ghost drove in the direction Hunter gave them, night started to set in. They discussed about setting up camp, but ultimately decided to drive on so they could catch up with the wayward guardian.

Currently they were talking about what they could find in the area that they are heading towards. The one to ask for the information was Spark. After all, if he knows what areas are of interest to his hunter then he can deduce where he would go.

416 was the one to inform him in a formal, if not a bit strained, tone. "Ahead of us is sector S09, an area controlled by Griffin and Kryuger, it is at the border to Sangvis controlled territory. We can expect to meet friendly and hostile T-dolls, so we should be on our guard."

Spark hummed his understanding before replying. "Understood, I will see if I can listen in on any communications that are made in the area. "At the looks he received he added sheepishly, "I will be as unnoticed as possible."

He got a small chuckle from 45 from that. "Well then I will leave the intercepting of enemy signals to you~" she smiled at him pleasantly, earning a scowl from 416.

"You really want to give that responsibility to him without verifying if he is even capable of doing it unnoticed? What if it doesn't work because he is unfamiliar with the security measures Sangvis deploys?" she asked, more then a bit sceptical about the Idea. Spark could understand her doubt, after all she hasn't seen him in action before, but 45 seems to trust his abilities. Maybe the leader of 404 wishes to see what he is capable of in electronic warfare.

While the two start to get into a small verbal fight, Spark turned to 9 and G11, the latter being fast asleep but alert by what Spark could perceive, and asked "Do they always fight like this?" while turning into the direction of the dolls in question. Their argument already over with a victory for 45, judging by her smug expression and 416's scowl.

9 let loose an awkward chuckle at the situation. "Yeah, kinda. Sis and 416 might get along when it comes to work and battle, but they argue a lot. 416 questions 45-nee's motivation, but trusts her leading capabilities, so don't worry." While 9 Was giving her explanation, G11 just nodded along in agreement without opening her eyes as if she was confirming it in her sleep.

416 was about to add something before Spark interrupted her.

"I am receiving an unknown communication signal, do you want to listen in?" Any complain the AR had about the interrupting left her after hearing this.

"Go ahead, but make sure they don't know we are listening." came the order from the leader. Spark immediately set to intercept the message without notice, the encryption was bad enough for the ghost to do it without any problems. Though, he detects another signal that is trying to listen in. He left the second one alone for now because the don't seem like they could manage to listen in on the channel for now.

Spark starts the broadcast and soon an unknown female voice could be heard.

"Ar-15, SOPMOD ll, where is your current location? I made contact with one of Griffins commanders, persica hired them to find us, if we could make out a location to gather so we could pick you up." Was the first thing the voice said. Spark noticed 416 stiffening and her scowl deepening, but didn't question it.

An answer came in form of another female voice, this one a bit more calm compared to the soft, concerned voice of the first speaker. "Don't worry about us M4, we are fine for now. We are in Sangvis territory, I can't tell you the exact location but we are safe. We found something interesting hidden in one of the ruins in the area. It was a jamming device meant to block out Sangvis signals and intercept the connection between their control posts and their T-dolls. It had a data storage with it, but we are currently unable to see what is on it."

Another voice chimed in from the same source as the last, this one noticably more cheerful. "Yep! It was made of parts from some broken Sangvis dolls that were scattered around the area. The jamming thingy had a strange carving on the side, I can't wait to show you!" The third person finished with a giggle.

That is when a fourth voice interrupted the transmission. "Those are some good news." this one was male and sounded mature and professional. "I apologise for the interruption, my name is Marc Parcel, commander for Griffin and Kryuger in sector S09. We were able to track your signal, so you should not worry about arranging a meeting point."

There were some exclamation of surprise, before they started talking about the pick up for the two dolls. Meanwhile, Team 404 and Spark had their own discussion.

"It seems like they found one of Hunters messages. Too bad, that jamming device could have been useful." Mused 45, "but we would still need to get that message, so we could either intercept them and snatch it from them or we could make contact with Griffin and tell them about our little mission. What do you think Mr. Spark?" She asked the resident ghost who contemplated for a minute before someone else spoke.

"I think we should contact the Griffin commander." surprisingly it was 9 who spoke, just beating 416 to it by a second. "We could ask if they got any strange movements or other information that could lead to Mr. Hunter!" it was a good idea, but 416 had a different opinion.

"We should just intercept them. We got bigger numbers and better equipment with the things Spark carries around, so it should be childs play." She seemed a bit eager too, Spark made a note to ask about her apparent dislike for these people before giving his opinion.

"We should contact this commander. If he could give us some information then we could find my guardian faster and restock on supplies. Also, it would be better to have as many allies in this as possible, after all, knowing his luck, Hunter will make a lot of enemies on his way." he ended his explanation with an apologetic tone before 45 made a suggestion of her own.

"How about we do both, we go to the meeting point where they gather with Griffin and tell them that the data storage is connected to a mission we got, Griffin will most likely hand it to us on the condition that they could maybe listen in on it too. In the end, the dolls will not remember us anyway so we could just ask for it and get it with minimal resistance too." And she was right, from what Spark was told, Team 404 technically did not exist. Which is why the memories of dolls they interact is wiped the moment they stop being involved in the mission.

The others seemed to agree, even 416 if reluctantly. Spark himself also agreed, it is a good decision to meet the in neutral territory in the case of a fight, but he could not shake of the feeling that something bad is going to happen.

He will just have to be prepared if something happens. His instinct was always right with stuff like this.

He had to make up for his guardian's bad luck when it came to unplanned fights after all.
