Mirii's steps were landing on the metallic floor, as the step noises were echoing in the air.
"The warehouse looks… fine." Her head rose. "If it wasn't for said information, I wouldn't guess that such place would hold one of Project Neo's many operation sites."
Hun's shoulders were up, as his head was slowly tilting left and right, while his arms were bended a bit…
"Hunry?"
"Me?!" The boy jumped, turning in mid-air and stretching his arms down. "Did you called me?!"
"Whoa, relax…" Grina's mouth rose a bit. "Didn't wanted to"
"Grina! Of all times!" Mirii turned behind, frowning and gritting her teeth. "Focus on our mission!"
"Hey, what do you think I'm cookin'?!" Grina opened her arms, frowning a bit and turning her sight towards Mirii. "I was getting all worried about Hunry, you know…" Her head returned forward, tilting down, as her eyebrows rose. "The poor Squid is all terrified and ship."
Mirii's head tilted to her left: Hun sighed loudly, smiling a bit.
"I-I'm fine! Really…!" Hun nodded twice, as his eyes closed. "It's just… well…"
"Hunley, you are not alone… there is nothing to fear." Mirii's head shook once, then she smiled. "Especially with those perfection-approved suits, no one could"
"Girl, like watch out!" Bars' right forefinger was pointing behind Mirii. "Grey liquid smoothin' the ground!"
The girl gasped, as she jumped forward and turning behind in mid-air: a grey liquid was resting on the floor, with bubbles coming up in the surface, occasionally…
Hun frowned, clenching his fists. Grina's hands grasped her weapon, frowning a bit less. Bars took his Roller weapon while grinning and chuckling silently. Mirii's head lowered, watching the grey liquid and breathing gently.
The grey liquid began raising upwards, assuming limbs, a body and a face… the eyes opened, blinking twice. The appearance was that of an Inkling man wearing a captain hat and suit.
"Uhm? Uhm?" The creature's head shook quickly. "Agents in the area! Agents… agents?"
Mirii's head rose, as she took a step with a foot each. Her right hand rose, stopping near her right ear and showing the palm over the creature.
"We are friendly Squids. We are not here to harm you…" Mirii nodded.
The creature's head tilted left and right, watching the other three Inklings.
"… oh. Ah… ah! Uhm…" The creature's right hand took the cap's tip. "I'm the cap'n! Yes yes, the cap'n! Sailing and sweating!"
"You are the captain…?" Mirii's eyes squeezed a bit.
"Uuuuh, no… no no no." The creature's head shook. "I… I thinking a minute. A minute… second… done!" The creature jumped, smiling. "You… weapons down! Weapons… the weapons are floor! On the floor! Yes yes yes!" The creature kept nodding.
"Well, you sure have… an interesting vocabulary." Grina bended down on her knees, putting her weapon on the floor and raising back. "Are you happy now?"
"Happyyyyy… no. Nope nope, no happy." The creature rotates the jaw counter-clockwise. "Agents… why Agents? Whyyy… yes here?"
A sweat drop appears on Mirii's right side of her head, as her eyelids lowered to the middle.
"The supposed advanced version… bah, still years away from having some form of primitive perfection…" Her eyes closed. "We are here because of a mission…"
"Mission off! Mission on!" The creature turned to the left, marching back and forth. "Mission, mission… mission what?" The creature stopped, turning the shoulders to the left.
"We were supposed to cover the port, but the citizens cannot let us doing so…" Mirii sighed, as her eyes opened. "We are pretending to run a quick check around here…"
"… cover… port… aaaah! Aaaah!" The creature walked in place. "Agents! Heeelp! Agents! Heeelp!"
"Dude, like… how about you get some milkshake for your brain?" Bars chuckles. "Your IQ stat would be higher than"
Suddenly, more and more grey Inklings came from around the containers. Mirii's head quickly turned towards each of them: her face went paler, as she walks backwards.
"… wh-what's the meaning of this?! A-Am I seeing this?!" Sweat was jumping out from Mirii's head.
"Talk about having deja-vus…" Grina's eyes blinked, as her knees bended down and her hands picked up her weapon again. "… they look like the same citizens we have just met!"
The creature turned behind, as the arms were moving up and down, stretching to the max.
"Agents! Heeelp! Agents! Mission cover!"
"Mission cover where?" A creature appearing as an Inkling woman tilted the head to the right. "Mission now on carryngo."
"We help! Agents help we help!" The creature turned behind. "Agents, master Squids. Master… uh… uuuhh… Master… follow… follow!"
The creatures behind turned their head towards each other, saying words. Several sweat drops appeared on each Inkinators' head.
"Ehm… what they are doing…?" Hun's eyes closed.
"We… we port cover, but you will do." The creature walked forward, nodding twice. "Weeee… help cover, help Agents, master Squids."
Mirii's eyes expanded.
"No no, you will not!" Sweat covered Mirii's forehead, as she swallows silently. "Th-the citizens would never allow us into doing so! W-we already took the decision of reporting said behavior to the chiefs!"
The creatures sealed their mouths.
"Kh… Mirii, are you seriously bothering using common sense with those weirdos?" Grina sighed loudly, as her left hand covered her eyes. "A wall is smarter than all of them united! What do you think they will"
"Aaaah, nope nope…" The creature began shrugging repeatedly. "NOPE NOPE, whopidy-turfing-NOPE! We… ah ah, weeeee… help port covering Agents. Coveriiiin'… fresh fresh, ink on da port!" The creature turned behind. "Go go, go goooo! Blu-bluurb!"
"BLURB!" All of the creatures shouted, as their right fists rose up in the air.
They began rushing towards the 4 Inklings.
"NO! NO, STOP IT!" Mirii's arms were moving sideways, as her irises shrunk. "STOOOPP!"
The crowd of creatures rushed past them.
"Curses! After them!" Mirii turned behind, as her right forefinger pointed at the creatures.
"And blow the chance of stopping this mayhem? No thanks!" Grina began walking forward. "Gotta change their flag into Inkinators' one!"
She passed Mirii, stopping and turning behind.
"Who's with me?!" Grina's right fist rose up and down, twice.
"I'm there, girl." Bars chuckles, walking forward.
"Hmpf, then go ahead…" Mirii began sprinting, passing Hun. "… I'll stop those fools!"
"I'm coming with you, Mirii!" Hun rushed, reaching Mirii's right side.
"Thank you, Hunley." Mirii smiled. "I'm an Agent of the IST… if I don't do my job, then I might as well start applying for another job." She frowned a bit. "I'm Mirii Hanache and I intend to deliver perfect performances for the good of all Inkopolis!"
