Ch'en was a woman on a mission; she had enough of how W was treating Yua. "I know this could cause backlash for Yua, W could tell everybody everything. If she does, I will find a way to make it up to her." The blue-haired lung thought as she was marching towards where W was staying while Rhodes Island was giving aid to the Iberians. After some searching, Ch'en found W's tent and shouted out to her, "W, get out here now! We need to talk!"
No response came from the sarkaz's tent. Ch'en however, wasn't going to let this go and tried again, "You can't just ignore me, W! Whatever problem you have with the doctor, Yua doesn't deserve the treatment you are giving her! If you have a problem with what I'm saying, get out here, and we will settle this right now!" Again, complete silence. Ch'en was getting annoyed at being ignored by W, so she decided enough was enough and went inside the tent to confront her.
When the lung walked inside, however, W was nowhere to be seen. "This is strange," Ch'en thought, "She has to be somewhere." Ch'en then left the tent and headed towards her next destination. As she walked towards the cafeteria, the blue-haired lung knew she was taking a huge risk by confronting W there. She didn't want to have to do it in front of so many people, considering the risk, but it was for the best in her mind. When Ch'en arrived at the cafeteria, she still couldn't see W anywhere. She did see Swire and Yua here, though, so the lung decided to walk over to ask if they had seen W.
"Hello, Swire and Yua, I hope the two of you are well today." Looking at who talked to them, Swire and Yua turned their heads and saw Ch'en. "Morning Ch'en, we are well, Yua looks like she has a bit more life in her today." The feline replied. Looking at her fellow lung, Ch'en could see Yua didn't look as exhausted; she was glad. Remembering what she was there for, she spoke to the pair. "I'm glad Yua looks better, but I came to ask if either of you seen W this morning?" Yua replied. "No, that is what we were just talking about; we asked several other operators if they had seen her, but no one has."
Now Ch'en was curious, why was W not here? Where could she have gone? Was she in trouble? While she was glad W wasn't running Yua into the ground, she was still an operator of Rhodes Island; she had to find out if anything had happened to her. The next person to ask was Doctor Kal'tsit. She could have given W a job without telling the rest of them. Knowing where to ask next, she bid her friends farewell and left. "Hopefully, Doctor Kal'tsit has answers." Ch'en thought as she made her way to the landship...
In a dark cell in an unknown location, W was starting to wake up. Her vision was slowly began to clear, and she felt sensation returning to her arms and legs. As the sarkaz stood to her feet, she took stock of her surroundings. "Ugh...where am I? What am I doing here?" W thought to herself. When her mind cleared, her eyes widened, and she recalled what had transpired the previous evening. "That's right, those creeps attacked me! They drugged me!" With her memory refreshed, W came to a realisation. "They must want something from me if they haven't decided to kill me yet." The sarkaz woman spotted a small hole in the cell door and shouted through it. "Hey! Whoever you are, you have made a big mistake! You better let me go now!" No response came, so W continued shouting. "You better tell me why you have done this! I will have revenge for this! You understand me!" Seeing that she wasn't getting a reply, W gave up for the time being and sat down on the bed in the cell. She sat on the bed and waited, knowing that whoever had taken her did so for a reason. "I will find out who has done this, and they will pay!" W resolved, as her only choice now was to wait.
Doctor Kal'tsit had just finished speaking with Ch'en; she couldn't tell her the truth that she was the reason W was missing. Ch'en was asking where the sarkaz woman was. The ancient feline lied to the lung that she had sent W on a mission that only she could do and that she would be back soon. Kal'tsit then appointed Ch'en as the team leader. This satisfied Ch'en and she left her office. Sometime after she left, another person entered the room; Kal'tsit recognized her immediately and spoke to her. "Thank you, Irene. This has made things much easier. Yua should now make her move. Now we shall see who she is loyal to." Irene nodded. "Indeed, I trust that you have a plan in place if she is a member of the Church of the Deep." Kal'tsit believed that the abyssal hunters should be able to deal with Yua if she found them and tried to harm them, but she did have her own plan if by some chance Yua defeated the abyssal hunters.
Irene then spoke. "Well, we have word that near the coast, there is a confirmed hideout of the church of the deep. Word has been sent to the abyssal hunters; they should soon be on route to clear it out." The ancient feline replied, "Thank you for letting me know this. I will get word to Yua; I have a feeling she will head right there." The two of them then had a moment of silence before Irene spoke again. "What about W? What do you want us to do with her? She is too dangerous to just keep imprisoned; many people around Terra want her head." W was being a headache for Kal'tsit and the doctor at the moment; her being away was best for everyone. "Keep her imprisoned for now," Kal'tsit told the liberi what to do. "You need not kill her. However, if she should become a problem, I trust you will do what you need to keep her under control." Irene nodded; she would relay the information to her organization. Irene just hoped the ancient feline knew what she was doing.
After a long day, their shift was finally over. Yua was glad Ch'en was now her new team leader; she hadn't been anywhere near as difficult as W. Her mother didn't constantly bombard the white-haired lung with tasks. Back in her tent, Yua was left wondering, "W, what type of job did Kal'tsit send her to do? Why didn't she tell any of us? Maybe it was something the rest of us didn't agree with." Yua reasoned. Still, it was suspicious; then again, Kal'tsit must have had her reasons. Yua's thoughts were then broken by a voice outside her tent. "Yua, it's me. Can I come in?"
Yua's eyes widened. "Amiya, why does she want to see me!?" The lung thought why the one who was practically her sister wanted to see her. Walking over to the entrance of her tent, she opened it up and was greeted by the person who was practically her sister. "Hello, Yua," said Amiya. "Are you well?" Yua replied, "I am fine, Amiya. Is something wrong?" The cautus waved her hand. "No, nothing is wrong; I just came to deliver this letter to you." A letter? Yua found this odd but decided not to question Amiya. "Thank you, Amiya." The lung wanted to tell the cautus who she was but decided not to at this moment. Yua promised she would confess to Amiya who she was when the time was right.
The lung thanked the cautus, then decided to head into her tent. Back inside her tent, Yua opened up the letter. It simply said, "Head to the coast; you will find what you seek." What did it mean? Who wrote it? Who gave it to Amiya? Yua realized she should have asked Amiya that. Knowing that there was no point thinking about that now, she went over what it meant. Did someone know who and what she was looking for? Did Doctor Kal'tsit know about the file she took? If it was her, why didn't she just confront her? Deciding not to think about that now, the white-haired lung knew where she had to go. Yua headed toward where the Rhodes Island vehicles were kept in a huge tent, grabbed a pair of keys from the shelf, and began trying them out on each vehicle.
After trying the keys on each vehicle, one of them eventually opened its driver's door. Entering the key into the ignition, the vehicle came to life. Yua then put on her seat belt and started driving. The lung opened up the virtual map in the vehicle. Looking at the map, she knew it would take roughly an hour to reach the coast. The white-haired hadn't had much experience driving, but she knew the basics that her mother had taught her. "Mother will probably wonder where I have gone in the morning." Ch'en would not be happy that she disappeared, Yua knew that she would suffer some sort of punishment when she returned. But If it meant saving the future, however, it would be worth it. Believing this, she got on the road and headed towards her goal...
