"Move those crates out of the way. This thing's got to have room to go at any time." One human was directing the others driving small mech carrying suits to move piles of crates out of a corner of one hangar. As they did so they revealed a shiny silver ship that had been previously hidden. It was shiny and it didn't look to be of the same design as the rest of G.U.N's. It seemed fairly similar in design but looked like someone had given it a personal touch. Instead of the almost bulky rounded or box look look of most of G.U.N's vehicles it was more sleek and pointy. Along the side beside the image of a cresent moon was the title 'Night Scythe'. "Ten bucks says that thing doesn't make it half way before blowing up." One of the humans laughed before they moved on to other work.

From behind the ship, a young woman sighed, chewing her lip before hurriedly plugging a small device into the door's keypad. "I'm going to get fired for this... If I'm not shot first..." The woman cringed, picturing her father. "Though I might just not show up to either if my dad finds out..." It'd taken him what, a full month to convince G.U.N. to hire a part-timer? All those talks of trust, and hard-working skills!
From behind, a small mobian bat merely chuckled. "Hnhnhn... Really miss... 'Usagi'... I must say, off topic, such an interesting name..."
The blond woman groaned. "Seriously... I get enough comments on it already... Stupid japanese relatives..." She muttered under her breath before a small beep came through, and the door unlocked. "You're in," she said, unplugging the chords. "Now hurry up, I need to erase records of the door opening AND get back to work!"
"Indeed... Your work is much appreciated Miss Usagi... Though I pray you do not become too close to your work, if you catch my meaning..." Usagi shuddered as the small girl smirked, sleeves trailing behind her as she clambered into the 'Night Scythe'. "Many thanks..." The door closed, and Usagi sighed, before plugging in the device again. Now... Just a few numbers and she could get back to work...
Stupid little girls and their crushes; this had to be it after all.

It was then after Usagi had hacked into the system that the ship's computer shut down. A light over the door signaled it was now locked down. Then a screen on the dashboard activated, words in binary flashing over rapidly. A robotic voice spoke through the speakers of the ship. "Lock down initiated. Please remain calm, you are being patched into the Control network while threat is assessed."

"H-Hiii!!!" She yanked the cables out, glad that she had managed to get the girl inside and... most of the information of a hacking gone. 'Thank you machines..?' Hurriedly ducking back behind a few crates, she sighed. Who knew what that kid wanted with 'Wolf' but... Oooooh, she wasn't going to be doing anything that had an inkling to do with him for a while!
At this moment, her phone beeped. "Geh!?" Usagi pulled it out, flipping it open. "Ah, hello?"
"There's been a request for a transport made by Agent Wolf- You can handle making sure the gas tank is filled I presume, right, 'grunt'?" Ugh... She wasn't even an agent, grunt wasn't an applicable term...
Nonetheless, she nodded. "Er... S-Sure! Not a problem!!"
"Good. Then wait for the lockdown to pass over and do your work!" There was a click on the other end, and Usagi winced.
"Hwaahh... Just... Think of the union pay..." ------------------------- Meanwhile, inside the Night Scythe, Kira smirked, stowing herself in the cargo hold as the doors locked shut. "My my... So many things in here, one wonders where they are going... Hnhnhnhn..." There was a slight glow where the bat stood, and then, nothing more to catch the human or mobian eye...

A strange being was walking towards the ship. A blue hedgehog made of metal, he had large talons instead of hands and wiring was exposed on places around his body. His odd yellow eyes scanned the room before he approached the ship. Swift had left Control's house the moment he received word that Control needed the ship. Halfway through he had become aware someone had entered the ship and it was on lock down because of his commands. He walked towards it and glanced at Usagi as he passed her.

(Good luck finding her Swift, Kira's using an ability to hide. xD)
Unable to do much until the lockdown passed, Usagi decided to take advantage of her current break, watching as Swift (she suppressed a shudder; he looked rather frightening, even if he was on 'their side') passed by- until she realized that she would have to get a lift in order to fill the gas tank on the ship. Greaaaat... She left briefly to find said lift, soon coming back on it with the hose in hand.

Swift stepped up to the door to the ship and placed his claw inside a slot in the door, after a moment of seemingly no activity (though in truth he was bypassing the many locks and firewalls cyberneticly) the door opened and the flashing light shut down. He stepped inside and scanned the ship for a moment, finding nothing odd he sat in the navigator's seat. He inserted a wire from the dashboard into his chest cavity and began to prep the ship.

Meanwhile, Usagi, who had been waiting for said light to shut off, started the lift and slowly brought herself up to the level of the gas tank on the ship. Once this was done, she opened the tank and inserted the nozzle, staring at the small screen on the handle as she waited for the tank to fill. Hwaaah... boring boring boring...
But oh man... She wasn't going to complain about it if she got away with whatever that kid tricked her into doing...

Swift had the system prepare before he left it running and disconnected himself from the ship and stepped outside. His robotic gaze fell upon Usagi. "Human, I require an answer to my question. I wish to know if you have seen anyone ele near the ship in the past ten minutes."

Usagi jumped, barely keeping the nozzle in the pump; she hadn't really been paying attention to anything else other than the screen, and had spaced out. Looking down and blinking, she coughed, nervously lying lest the worst happen. "Have I seen anyone? N-Nope! Not at all! Not a soul! Why, does it have to do with the lockdown?"
There was a part of her that was screaming 'He's a robot! He can probably tell a liar from a crowd any day!', but there was a small part that hoped for the chance that, as a robot, and therefore someone unfamiliar with the ways of humans, he wouldn't catch the lie.

She was unlucky, for he wasn't entirely so oblivious about living things. "You stammer. Is something wrong?"

"Wha, stammer? Oh, t-that.. I'm just cold! Brr..." She rubbed her arms, shivering almost involuntarily (though that was more from fear than cold). "I mean... It's.. It's a hangar, not really heated in here!"

"This base is hidden in warm grounds, my tools detect the temperature to be well within human comfort. You are hiding something from me."

"Actually, I'm cold sensitive." The deadpan face had to fool him- she was telling the truth this time. (She really was a little chilled actually... Brr...) "So what's fine for most is not so fine for me. I normally wear a poncho in this sort of room, ahaha..." She rubbed her head nervously, before continuing with a cough. "But, I am definitely not hiding anything! Just ask my coworkers, and my boss! Most trustworthy person ever!" The girl than nodded, as though to reassure herself of this.

"I will be sure to review your files." Swift turned away and stepped up the the door of the ship. "Is it fueled now?"
