When faced with a human interaction and a good book, Crane will more often than not take the book.

Be careful. This Viper bites.

The message was received without issue, and Oku rolled up on her bike as nightfall slowly arrived. An order of ramen awaited her, having called in ahead of time.

"本音を言え、ヘジン捜査官."
(Speak your mind, Agent Hye-Jin.)

In the time between, Oku had reached out to her network to garner what information--

ジャングルの蛇.
(A snake in the jungle.)

"Feh. The uniform is hardly...fetching. Could still fit it, I bet.

Though it remains in Osaka."

Oku didn't clock the wink, having focused on the cook as their sodas were set down. Nicola was not American, but Japanese. Why Oku liked it? Well, it wasn't alcohol.

Oku nodded, retrieving her helmet to set on before she stepped onto her bike.

"You will want to contact your handler before long."

With that short response, she drove off, giving Hye-Jin a small tap at the hand.

"Lean forward. If I speed up, I would rather you not fall off."

(Keep him on a short leash. Should a corp catch wind of him, they will seek to take him for themselves. This kind of robot is rare, if not completely new in this city.)

The former agent clicked her tongue before she moved out of the alley to get onto her own bike after getting her helmet on.

"These tattoos are very real. As far as false tattoos, those are rare in my line of work. Holographic...that's more suited for the wealthy.

The most popular method comes in the form of false limbs getting real tattoos. Easier to swap out what one wants to go out with."

-She dropped her camo a few seconds after the other exited the security room.

"清潔なキル、静かな動き、モーションセンサーの使用。 君はコーポのエージェントだ."

(Clean kills, silent movement, and use of motion sensors. You strike me as a corpo agent.)

Her tone was calm, measured. A katana sat upon her hip, and a holster on her thigh.

The former Special Agent caught wind of the recently freed hostages, opting to pull herself from sight as she entered the building.

The kills were clean from what she could see. A professional was involved. She pulled her own silenced Nue, custom even down to its look. Down she would go to garner--

-ワトソン、ウェストブルック、シティの3人を頼む."
(-I need you three on Watson, Westbrook, and City Center.)

She stretched a bit in place before her car rolled up to the curb, motioning for Andrea to get in.

"カッパーヘッド、ラトルスネーク、アナコンダ、あなた方3人にはバッドランズ、サント、パシフィカがある."--
