"Whoa! That just went from two to ten real quick!" Darius quickly spoke up, trying to steer this in a more pleasant direction.
"Here's the deal, B." Darius began. "If we go all Daredevil hallway scene, it takes away from the presentation. We want as many eyes on us as possible so when we complete the job, it'll show just how skilled we are to swipe those little toys and not catch a single body."

"Who knows what we're going to be told," Kiara said. "It is strange for cadets to be summoned, especially Cadets that aren't Ranger initiated." She looked at Nero and shrugged softly. "I've been doing this for like....ten years. She's always let me help with training, and I even went in with her and Kaa-ni a few times and sparred with my aunt Rina growing up. I don't know why she'd wait. Unless she's gonna start yelling at me again..."
Shrugging, the young woman sighed. "Doesn't matter. Let's all go and clean up before meeting up at Command. See you guys in a bit." She walked out, the door to the training room sliding shut behind her.
Knute frowned for a moment and sighed through his nose. Then he nodded, forming a small smile. "Okay. See you soon, Kiara." Once she left, he checked his weapon for supervision before putting it away. "Let's get ourselves cleaned up. Don't want to get dirty when we meet the Commander," He told Nero and Becca. ______
"But if we do that, we would get busted, Sparkles. It says so on these bloody security cameras. Prison time would not be great for your glamorous resume." GQ pointed out to Darius. While he's initially skeptical about the plan, he might be growing on to it soon.
When GQ focused on Kestra though, he simply shrugged, "If you hate killing so much, I'll take care of it for you. I'll just have to deal with the cameras first." He offered.

"Maybe YOU'RE not good enough to add some flair to your work, DQ but some of us here actually are." Darius countered, intentionally getting his name wrong. "I'm not saying walk right in but I'm not saying to leave a pair of bodies either. SPD will eventually catch on and when they do, I want them to live with the burden of failure while we thrive as the main attraction!"

GQ rolled his eyes from Darius's remark. He didn't care about the mocking nickname he received since he showed no respect. Unless one deemed to be respected by him, he would not ever call anyone by their first name. "Eh..." He shrugged, crossing his arms. "Just so long as we destroy the evidence and escape without being caught. The prize will be ours."

"Well, we tried." Becca said shrugging after watching Kiara leave the training room. She pulled her weapon and gave the checks needed as instructed. Once finished, she placed it back in it's holster and gave a small sigh. "Let's do this." She said exiting the training and checking her weapon back in before heading for her quarters to get showered and changed.

Kestra sighed softly, her hands clenching. She listened to the back and forth between Darius and GQ, and she shook her head. "Boys, enough. It'll be fine. I'll...I'll deal," she said. "You two set the charges and find a way to wipe the cameras. I'll break into Dr. Manx's lab and get the VS System and the Jetrunners. Just be ready to bolt when you see me hauling ass."
"You do not need to worry about wiping the cameras." A slot on the monitor opened, three small disks popping out. "These will block you from camera feeds. YOu'll appear as visual distortion and be unrecognizable."
"Still doesn't stop us from being spotted on the way in or out," Kestra said. "When do we go?"
"After sundown. You'll break in, get the VS System, and you'll return here to wait for further instruction." ______________
Kiara sighed as she walked into the on-base apartment she lived in with her mothers and her younger twin sisters. Kairi and Aqua came running out, each one of them latching onto one of her arms. "Hi, girls."
"Hi!" they said together.
"You ok, nee-chan?" Kairi asked, looking at her older sister. "YOu don't look too happy."
"I'm fine," Kiara said. "Just stuff in training, that's all. I need to get cleaned up and get ready to go up to meet with the Commander. Where's Kaa-ni?"
"At the store," Aqua said, jumping onto the couch. "Something about making spring rolls and teryaki pork for supper."
"Mmm....sounds good," Kiara said with a small smile. "I'll be out soon, girls. Gonna shower."
"Ok!" the twins said, the television coming on.

GQ glanced at Kestra for a moment before blinking slowly, as if he respected her decision. As he continued to listen to the Broker's intel, he rubbed his chin in a thoughtful manner. "In the meantime, we wait then. Makes sense." ______
After leaving training room, Knute went to his room to change. He wasn't sure how the meeting would go and how worried he was for Kiara. But he hoped it didn't end in a ugly way. Once he finished showering and changed to his uniform, he stepped out from his room and took a stroll through the hallway.

"I can work with that." Darius thought of ways to enhance the presentation side of this caper but for now, he understood the plan. In the meantime, there was work to be done, spectacle or not.
"More than just wait, DQ. We have to make sure we're fully prepared because prison wouldn't be good for your snobbish brooding." Darius grinned, responding to GQ's earlier sarcasm with some of his own.

"Sure. As long as I keep my 'snobbish brooding' in line when I'm under the spotlight, I'll be prepared, mate." GQ responded to Darius's sassy remark with a half-shrug, putting air quotes on the 'snobbish brooding' comment.

Nero followed suit and headed to his quarters and took a quick shower to relive his nervousness before being presented to Commander Tate later that day. He donned his best attire and sat on his bed to mentally prepare himself for about a few minutes before exiting his quarters. As he stepped out, he ran into Knute. "Trying to kill the nervousness?" He asked his fellow officer.

"Maybe." Knute answered to Nero's question. "I hope the meeting with Commander Tate won't be too bad. What do you think he's gonna talk about?"

"I honestly don't know. I've only reported to Mrs. Frost since my time here. Only time I can remember is when we graduated from training academy would be when we were in front of Commander Tate. Since then, we've reported to Mrs. Frost." Nero stated.

"I see," Knute said, rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner. "At least we trained well under Kida's tutelage. I'm worried for Kiara though since she wants to follow her mothers' footsteps."

"And you think your fancy ass, high flyin' showboating would keep you under someone's radar in jail, Darius?" Kestra asked. "You'd try and be fancy but get your shit kicked in. Me, I don't think I'd do good in prison or jail at all. I never have been much of a fighter." ___________________

"I wouldn't worry about Kiara," a voice said, Dr. Kat Manx walking up behind the two men. "Just worry about what's going to happen in just a little bit, boys. Trust me, you'll want that focus instead of worrying about your friend."

"Don't get it twisted, Sweet Kes. Even if by some once in a billion phenomenon that I get arrested, I'd break out long before I see anyone's gen pop. Besides, I know you'd miss me too much if I went inside." Darius winked before sitting back in his chair.
