"I've got the data Jeremy, I'm sending it to you now." Xana notified.
"We can't get the data here, the system won't let us take the intel." Naomi informed.
"The system must've set up a firewall." Jeremy supposed.
"I'll go back in and see what I can do." Xana commented before going back into the servers to go to the ones at S-FIT.
"Come on Aelita, we'd better go see if we can get the folders from wherever they keep em." Naomi added.
"You don't know where they keep the files!?" Aelita shrieked.
'It's one of the handful of places in the building that I haven't seen." Naomi answered while nervously rubbing the back of her neck with her right hand.
"Does Lola at least know where they are?" Aelita hoped.
"She has the same knowledge I have when it comes to the Sumeragi." Naomi responded.
"So how exactly are we supposed to get the physical files now?" Jeremy worried.
"Wait, Naomi, don't you have those photos of the building?" Ulrich hoped.
"I don't." Naomi lied.
"Oh yeah." Jeremy remembered.
"You put them on your computer didn't you?" Ulrich interrogated.
Isn't it obvious? That's how I saved the picture of Aelita and Jeremy. So now if need be I can blackmail them." Naomi muttered.
"Ahem." Aelita coughed angrily.
"Dang it I forgot we teamed up. Guess I made the stupid decision this time." Naomi growled.
"You have to go back home to get the pictures right?" Ulrich wondered.
"Nope, all I have to do is get the files from my computer with my watch." Naomi smirked.
"I think everybody should split up and check a floor.'' Jeremy suggested.
"Sound plan, that way all the floors can be checked at once." Naomi agreed.
"But who's going to check which floor?" Odd pondered.
"Why don't we go in alphabetical order? Aelita can check he first floor, Lola on the second floor, I'll be on the third floor, Odd on the fourth floor, Ulrich on the fifth floor, Xana on the sixth floor and Yumi on the seventh floor. Wait, we need someone to check the eight floor. But we can't have Jeremy do it cause he needs to keep watch on enemies." Naomi droned.
"Maybe we could get William to do it?" Odd supposed.
"No!" Everyone else protested in unison.
"What about Gunvolt?" Jeremy wondered.
"I don't wanna bother him with something that isn't work related." Naomi answered.
"Would it be okay to see if Copen could help?" Ulrich hoped.
"Sure would, I bet he'd love to see all this anyways." Naomi agreed before calling Copen.
"Hey, I've got a big ask, would you mind coming help me on a mission? It's just me, some friends and Lola I swear." Naomi spoke.
"How do I know this isn't a prank?" Copen interrogated.
"If it was I wouldn't be askin for help." Naomi snarled.
"Fine, where are you?" Copen questioned.
"I'll teleport you." Naomi answered.
"It's the new S-FIT building isn't it?" Copen noticed.
Naomi's eyes went wide.
"H-how did you know?" Naomi stuttered.
"Nori retrieved some intel saying the Sumeragi was constructing a new technology building recently. I'm surprised they managed to finish the building so quick, yet alone make sure the building is structurally sound." Copen elucidated.
"So, you know where they keep their physical files? Cause I can't find em anywhere." Naomi commented.
"I don't know where the files are kept physically. Why do you need the files anyways?" Copen queried.
"The data may be different from the digital data. The files may have notes from the people who edited them." Naomi answered.
"I don't have any information on the S-FIT building that could help, I'll call you if I find any." Copen replied.
"Thanks, I'll see ya later." Naomi finished before hanging up.
"Let's just walk around until we find something." Aelita supposed.
"Wait a second boss, what about-" but Naomi cut Lola off.
"Absolutely not! I'd rather eat a snail!" Naomi interjected angrily.
Naomi then remembered that everyone in the group except Ulrich, Odd and Yumi was French.
"Sorry Jeremy, also no offense Aelita." Naomi apologized.
"What is Naomi so mad about I wonder." Aelita pondered.
"I think it's about that last resort. There's only two people Naomi knows that know about the S-FIT building, her boss and her father, but her father worked in pretty much if not every division of research in the building." Xana elucidated.
"I get it now, she doesn't want to ask for help because she's scared." Yumi noticed.
"But why would she be scared?" Jeremy wondered.
"I'm afraid I'll get in trouble, grounded or worse." Naomi explained.
"Hey Naomi, sorry about that." Jeremy apologized.
"It's cool. But yeah, I don't want any more issues than we have already." Naomi responded.
"Would you really eat a snail instead of asking for help?" Odd queried.
"Actually I'd eat an octopus before I'd eat a snail." Naomi corrected.
"You don't like octopus?" Yumi wondered.
"Joule let me try some takoyaki once, more like takoyucky! It's like chewing gum that wasn't mixed properly and didn't have corn syrup or flavoring." Naomi explained.
"Would you eat an octopus for five euros?" Odd questioned.
"I'd knock out the Scyphozoa in a heartbeat for one." Naomi replied.
"So, would you rather defeat your fear of asking for help or tell Copen you love him?" Ulrich asked.
"I think I'd rather, you know what? I know for a fact that I'd rather go on a date with Arson than do either or both of those things." Naomi answered.
"Can you guys stop asking questions? And I know you're just answering them to avoid what you know needs to be done Naomi." Jeremy remarked.
"Fine, just lemme make the call." Naomi surrendered before calling Copen.
"What's up?" Copen asked.
"I need help finding out where in the S-FIT building they keep the physical files." Naomi responded.
"But you told me earlier that you didn't need my help since I don't know where they keep the physical files." Copen remembered.
"I didn't say anything like that. I guess what I'm tryna say is I don't like askin for help cause I feel weak. So, can I have some help?" Naomi answered.
"I'll be there if you can teleport me." Copen replied.
Naomi then ended the call before teleporting Copen behind the corner of the hall.
"Why did you teleport me right behind the corner of the hall?" Copen wondered.
"You didn't teleport him on accident did you?" Ulrich interrogated.
"Would you believe me if I said yeah?" Naomi squeaked.
"No." the others responded in unison.
"Who were you supposed to teleport exactly?" Copen queried.
Naomi turned herself invisible before running forward.
"Well there goes our only shot of getting out of here." Ulrich sighed.
