Cinnamon was busy reading over her data, making sure all was well. Matthias walked in with his nose in a copy of Detective Conan. Cinnamon giggled when she saw him. "You know, those don't make you smarter," she stated. "Au contraire, Cinnamon," he replied. "I've learned what to look for in various murder scenes. Did you know that one can fake a forced drowning by taping their victim to the tub and using a detachable shower head to fill the tub silently?" Cinnamon appeared shocked for a moment before replying, "Matthias, thats surprisingly dark of you." "Isn't it, though?" he retorted. "What's going on in here?" Zero asked, entering the room. "I was just telling Cinnamon about the fine art of secretly drowning a victim," Matthias stated, burying his nose back in the book. "Really... Let me see that," Zero demanded, snatching the book from him. "Hey! Be careful! That's the tenth issue!" Matthias protested, reaching for the book. X chuckled as he walked in beside Cinnamon. "It's like they're brothers, huh?" "I see what you mean, X" "Hmm, this is pretty insightful stuff..." Zero said as he looked over the graphic novel. "Just be careful with it, alright?" Cinnamon giggled and X chuckled at this 'brotherly bonding' until the alarms started going off.
"What is it!" X replied in a panic. Cinnamon returned to her console and typed furiously. "I got it! The distress signal is in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere in the vicinity of Cape Cod..." X nodded as he readied to head to the ocean where Bubble Crab was sending a fake distress signal. "I'm going!" X shouted, heading for the door. "X, I'll take care of this!" Zero called out, as an explosion wracked the city below. "No, Zero, you take care of the rebellion in the city! I'll assist Bubble Crab." Zero nodded. An ancient robot stepped into the room and shouted in Japanese, "Tonzura koite, domo arrigato!" X and Zero saluted him before rushing off. Cinnamon giggled as the robot sat down in a seiza position. "You are strict, but kind, Master Yamatoman." "Hai..."
X arrived at the scene of the signal, a cavern just off the coast of Cape Cod. "It seems like the signal is coming from within..." he said as he stepped into the water...
Loosely translated: "And we get the hell out, thank you very much!"
