NOT FOR REPRODUCTION


||    STORY  •  UPDATE    ||


      It'd been some time since the events of Whiplash in the southern quadrant of the city, and through the repairs and eventual disposal of the Ghost, Research had begun to divert some attention to better specialisation of the neutralising weapons add-ons...It was an oversight, at best, to have not had these at the ready at various locales owned by Hell Corp nor more openly avaliable from those not in the Researching department. Oft these small numbers of technology were signed out for use by Infantry and Research corps for Ghost capture, but perhaps the HQ would benefit from training all levels on their operation.

      Besides. They'd run out of Gluttony and Envy Serum. They would need more, and quickly, for things to go as planned. Regardless, at the very least hunting a Ghost in the Outer Walls was in Researches imminent future - but perhaps catching a mixed Natural could be of use for training purposes as well.

      Looking up from her paperwork, Bangle signalled to her brother to call Chap up. This would require discussion. He'd been busy with paperwork of his own - not blueprints, but records. He was scanning them for Resistance ties, but more for their protection than to seek an arrest. What could he kick dust over and see that they looked beyond? Folding the file, Cuff puffed and placed in the speed dial for the Potentate. Now it was a waiting game. Luckily for them, Chapeau had just finished texting. So her phone was in hand when she heard 'Sound of da police' by KRS One. It was Cuff calling wasnt it? Yep there was the signature picture of him with a handcuff superimposed over the top. Chapeau reasoned his name was enough to justify the custom ringtone. Plus a bunch of other reasons she wouldn't go into detail about. But suffice to say, he had her respect as a hard worker and older brother.

      "Hello there Cufflink, please tell me the bad news first." Jokingly, but hopefully this wasn't one of those calls. If Chapeau had a guess it was most likely a research request. And considering Whiplash, it was about time for action. Cuffs brows bounced slightly - that was barely a full ring. Must have been holding her phone. He smiled at the first response and shook his head "Just a heads up that the entire East wing of Research is smouldering, no big deal." He paused for effect and smiled "In another universe anyway - Bangle's saying something about needing to have a chat with you, she's been looking at blueprints for a fair chunk of the day, but I'm not really up to speed on what this is all about. Hold on." tapping on the desk in front of her, Cuff signed his question and was met with a very rapid response. "Something to do with the capture gear and Outer Wall clearance."

      "Oh good, it's the East wing - call me when you get it cleared out." Sorry but West wing had the major props on this one. Though Chap would hate to see either of Research go up in flames. She worked so hard to build it up, please don't take that away. At least not yet, she knew it was bound to happen. Especially with the way things had been going. Though the mention the garden babe meant Chapeau was 200% interested in the conversation. Something about clearing her walls or something right? No, she was too lovely for that. Plus Chapeau was sure that Bangle would require clearance to even get near her. "Capture gear? Ah, must be about time for a gather up. Alright, what does she want to do? Meet there or meet here? Regardless we'll need to find DJ later, so we'll be driving around anyway."

      Haha very funny. "Not so sure, she's been fairly quiet-" Cuff signed off a couple messages, knowing Chap knew well enough that it was a three way conversation on these calls at this point. "She can bring a sample item and meet with you. En verbatim quotation 'we don't need angry toothpaste head just yet'."

      "I'm surprised how quiet she's been considering Whiplash." Especially when she was first to analyze it. If anything the real surprise was the fact it took so long to get here. With that, Chap stood and roamed quietly waiting for a response. She'd get dressed and put on a nice shirt, leaving Cuff on speaker as she changed. "Sound's good then, we really don't need to get angry toothpaste involved till we got a better blueprint then." Picking her phone back up and sitting down waiting for Bangles arrival. Holy shit, a Bangle in her house what a great day.

      In terms of Bangles' silence, so had Cuff, honestly. "She's been preoccupied with a variety of projects, but she has been doing some pretty extensive data with Whiplash. The Ghost's gleaned a lot of info, we don't get a lot of Greed Pures in here - the wastes have a lot of Wraths. So for what she's been compiling, all the silence is reasonable enough. This place has been buzzing lately." Frankly he thought PC was going to keel over and die for what all he was juggling. "I can give DJ a call later, Bangle's just packing up" and that was emphasized by some rustling in the background "so we'll be there in a bit. Or she'll. Not sure if she wants me or not so whatever happens, happens." It was weird to see her getting that independent streak. Good, yes, of course. But it grew substantially since she had to station out in Australia without him, and it was still odd.

      "Well, you have a good day regardless Cuff. Have her message me when she arrives, I may be in my labs and may not hear her arrive."  "Thank you, Mistress. You as well." 
      And with that, they dismissed and the lovely Bangle would be on her way. She was a real go getter lately and that was further stressed by this news of her extensive research, and Chap couldn't be more pleased. 
      He'd happily notify her of that too, Bangle could use some time the hell out of here or the house anyway, nothing he'd fret over. Stop looking at your god damn textbooks. Looking back to his sister as he hung up the phone, Cuff's expression flattened and a sigh slowly eased out of him. Bangle five of the mechanicals aren't necessary. Really. Bring some samples if you were so insistent on bringing stuff. It took a while to resolve that squabble. But resolve they did, and Bangle had elected to go on her own, she needed the practice on speeding up with using the tablet anyway. Besides, the gear and plans fit in a duffel bag...
