Naomi got shivers down her spine as she looked through the file.
"N-Naomi? Are you okay? You're shaking." Moniqa wondered.
"Can't I ever get a happy mission? Nevermind, I'm clearly asking for far too much." Naomi rambled.
"There's said to be a Sumeragi lab beneath one of their storehouses. Zeno will do recon and GV will go with you on the mission." Mniqa elucidated.
"Ten forty five at night? Oh, wait, that's recon, eleven is my go time. Man, looks like I ain't gettin' any sleep tanight." Naomi noticed.
"Why not?" Moniqa pondered.
"Nothin' ya need ta worry 'bout." Naomi denied.
"Yeah, that place gives me the creeps too." Zeno notified.
"As much as someone using bay leaves instead of basil?" Naomi cackled.
"Zeno glared at Naomi.
"So, did you have fun with Quinn last night?" Moniqa asked.
"It seemed like I had more work than fun. Quinn burned the spaghetti and the garlic bread. So I had ta make green beans an keep an eye on Quinn so she wouldn't burn anythin' else. Namely burnin' the house down was what worried me." Naomi explained.
"I'd never be able to look at spaghettie the same way again." Moniqa remarked.
"So, what do I do till go time?" Naomi questioned.
"I need you to check for and fix any profile errors." Moniqa answered.
There was so many errors that Naomi was busy working until 10:49 at night. Deciding it'd be funny to tease Zeno a little more, she kept the line open and allowed Moniqa to talk to Asimov for a bit.
"I can' tell what's harder right now, dealing with you or this mission." Zeno retorted.
"Try dealing with this line a work, two siblings, helpin' some friends with their massive mess, mistakes you've made in the past that find every way they can to haunt you, AN try ta lead a normal life at the same time. Feel free ta gripe then." Naomi huffed.
Gunvolt was listening in from across the room and was curious as to how Naomi got so worked up.
"It's ten fifty nine, you two need to get going." Moniqa informed.
Taking one look around the entrance, both Naomi and Gunvolt knew it wasn't going to be an easy mission.
"Man, this place has got a lotta security." Naomi muttered.
"It's probably to guard the lab under here." Gunvolt supposed.
"Aight, just stand back an watch the pro do his thing." Zeno spoke as he detonated a bomb.
It left a big hole in the hallway floor.
"Well, are ya'll just gonna stand there an gape or get down ta business?" Zeno questioned.
Naomi and Gunvolt jumped in the hole, using their Flashfields to slow the descent and their hands to absorb some of the landing shock.
"There's some lights that are different colors that'll match the colors of lasers in a different area. Those are the emergency lighting panels. If you tag an flash em, that'll make the area bright an remove the lasers. Now let's see if you two can brighten things up." Zeno elucidated.
Naomi rolled her eyes as Gunolt looked up and found their first panel, a red one. Naomi looked behind Gunvolt to make sure the lasers dissipated as he tagged and flashed the panel. On the way to the other side of the room, Naomi noticed blue laser beams.
"An whatever ya do, don't touch em unless ya wanna get burnt." Zeno added.
Falling down the hole covered by the blue lasers led to another dark area. There was something that appeared similar to a bug with four angular wings.
"What the heck is that? Some kinda new enemy?" Naomi pondered.
"Oh, that's a unit they use specifically for this area. Just tag an flash ta activate em." Zeno informed.
Naomi tagged and flashed the 'light' to activate it. The mechanism floated ahead with a yellow aura of light surrounding it. Naomi waited at the pair of green lasers and told Gunvolt to call her over the coms if he needed any assistance. When he turned on the panel, Gunvolt's com picked up chatter from Naomi's.
"It's bright, but is it supposed ta cause people ta die?" Naomi wondered.
Gunvolt turned around and understood what she meant.
"Huh? Aren't those zombies? Naomi, did you do that?" Gunvolt interrogated.
"Ay man don't look at me I did none a that." Naomi protested.
"Well, who did then?" Gunvolt queried.
"We dunno, wait, didn't Elise get revived? It coulda been her." Naomi theorized.
"Sorry I was quick ta place the blame on ya man." Zeno apologized.
"I'm sorry for teasin' ya." Naomi agreed.
"Have you ever tried bay leaves though?" Zeno asked.
"There's two trees of em outside, I'll send ya picks an bring some leaves tomorra'. Ya want em dried or fresh?" Naomi stated.
"Eh, I ain't picky." Zeno replied.
"Uh, Naomi, what are you doing? I don't think the Sumeragi's too worried about pictures for property insurance." Gunvolt commented.
"I'm just grabbin' a pick ta blackmail Copen or someone." Naomi grinned as she took a picture of both types of zombies.
Naomi gave an 'it's all cool' look to Gunvolt as she pressed her left hand against the wall. However, Naomi fell on her back and was able to pull her lower legs back before the door got the near opportunity to chop them off. A siren on the center of the ceiling began blaring as the two Gunner Sentry Units appeared on the opposite side of the room. 25 Dullahan Bullits ended the screeching siren and robot shots. Naomi remembered Gunvolt and teleported him to her. The two destroyed the Hexapyle and moved on.
"This would be a great place ta play Marco Pollo." Naomi muttered.
"Ya good man?" Zeno queried.
"I can't take it anymore, I'll see ya at the exit!" Naomi shouted as she used her Lightspeed to bend the lasers and bend them back after she ran through them.
