Mytyl put her head to the left of Naomi's.
'Is that your wa of asking me to braid your hiar?" Naomi wondered.
Mytyl shook her head as Naomi began to sit up.
"Well there has ta be somethin' ya wanna do." Naomi supposed.
"Can we go to the park and take pictures?" Mytyl begged.
"Sure, just lemme put on a jacket, it got cold early this year." Naomi agreed.
Naomi grabbed her red jean jacket and left with Mytyl. they stayed out until 5:57 and decided to return home.
"I'll be out after seven. Boss said I've got some work ta do." Naomi informed.
"Can I come too?" Lola pled.
"I was hoping you could keep an eye on Mytyl actually. And make sure nobody checks my room." Naomi deinied.
Naomi grabbed her comm, put on her uniform and left. After reaching her destination, Naomi began to feel an overwhelming sense of dread.
"M-Moniqa? Why do I have to do this again e-exactly?" Naomi asked.
"We need to make sure no one is ever in danger because of the Sumeragi again." Moniqa reminded.
Naomi began her invasion of the facility. She heacked the elevator to reach the control room. Shockingly, the room was not empty even though the songs were pre recorded. And they need a person to do it.
There was three people at the desks in the row closest to the screens. A man in his late 20's with sandy brown hair, green eyes and light skin stood from behind the 2 rows of desks monitoring everything. He wore a green long sleeve shirt that had a green hoodie attached, slim blue jeans and white sneakers. None of them however, noticed Naomi or heard the elevator over the recording of Last Hope by Lumen.
Unfortuanately, she did in fact see the one person she loathed. Naomi felt as if her consciousness was going to abandon her at any given moment. Suddenly, her heart began beating rapidly as Naomi began to feel more awake and alert than ever before. So, she transformed, but Nova saw her reflection on one of the monitors.
"Well, you sure did surprise me Naomi. I never would've thought you'd be here. Especially not of your own free will." Nova spoke.
"I, I was wondering if I could get my old job back." Naomi squeaked.
Nova was rather surprised, his facial expression certainly showed it. He proceeded to fold his arms as he looked Naomi up and down.
"It depends if you're mocking me or not." Nova commented.
Naomi shook her head.
"I'm not joking. I want to be reinstated." Naomi guaranteed.
"If that's what you want, so be it. As of now, you're officially the lead cooperations manager." Nova stated.
"Thanks, but, what does that position entail exactly?" Naomi queried.
"You'll be making sure all of the employees are getting along and end disputes as quickly as possible if they do fight." Nova explained.
"Got it, I'll start on the job now." Naomi confirmed.
"Before you do, I was wondering. Your father has been confirmed to be alive again. So, where is he?" Nova interrogated.
"There's no way that could ever happen," Naomi denied as she shook her head. "I saw him die. I had to rush out of the building when it exploded. Nobody survived that incident other than me."
Naomi was fuming; so much so in fact that someone would be able to boil ramen noodles atop her head.
"That was a terrible day. We lost so much important research. But if he really was revived, then we can get back to it. Maybe we could even progress further with Septimas." Nova commented.
Now, now she was really ticked. She was so aggravated that she could kill him in the blink of an eye without the slightest hint of remorse.
He only cares about the progress aspect of it. Heh, Sumeragi does sink their claws into whatever opportunity they can get. But I'm not telling him what he wants to know. Naomi thought.
She was still transformed so it gave her the courage to talk to him the way she was. Nova then noticed the comm in Naomi's left ear.
"I take it you're supposed to be on a mission?" Nova noticed.
"I was. But, you're right. What the sumeragi's doing is far more important than anything QUILL would ever do. Except take you down." Naomi lied, muttering the past part so Nova wouldn't hear.
"Well then, if I can't get answers out of you this way, maybe there's another method that might work." Nova supposed.
Naomi transformed back to normal.
"Before I start working, can I turn in my uniform?" Naomi wondered.
"You'll want to turn your weapon in too." Nova added.
Naomi went to turn around and leave, but Nova began talking again.
"I'll send Jota to escort you." Nova notified.
Naomi turned around, nodded and left. She was walking to QUILL HQ when she remembered what Nova said. So, she decided to text him.
What time can I expect to see Jota?
In two minutes.
After that, Naomi called Asimov and told him what happened and killed the last thirty seconds by looking around. When Naomi saw Jota, she got embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry for what happened last time we encountered each other." Naomi apologized.
"You are forgiven. So tell me, what made you believe working for QUILL was a better option than Sumeragi?" Jota asked.
"You don't get constantly experimented on, everyone's nice, there's a calm environment and nobody uses threats." Naomi explained.
"I see, what made you choose to return? Especially now?" Jota questioned.
"I got to thinking recently, about the work I was doing. A lot of it was fighting the Sumeragi. That's when I realized that the Sumeragi's only trying to protect the country. So many Adepts are using their powers for the wrong reasons. The best thing we can do is force every Adept to have a Glaive." Naomi elucidated.
