()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||46<黑屏2>BGM_Brain:...In the S.F. base. BOSS-5(0)Alchemist||:(Panting)... I guess...this dummy body just isn't good enough, huh? ()||:Kneeling on the ground, Spitfire has the muzzle of her gun pointed between Alchemist's eyes. +Alchemist's platinum hair is a mess, but she's still smiling as smugly as when she was standing in front of the bunker. Spitfire(2)Spitfire||<黑屏1>:Now then...it's over you. ()||9<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:... ()||AVG_tele_connect:Beep—! P90(0)P90<通讯框>||<黑屏1>:Ahem... Uh, I have an emergency announcement to make! ()||46<黑屏2>:... ()||:Just as Spitfire's finger is about to reach the break pressure of her gun's trigger, the call that suddenly comes through startles all the Dolls present.+The image that appears shows P90 carrying P7 like a kitten. P90(0)P90<通讯框>||m_avg_casual:The transmission should have gotten through, right? Then I'll let you explain everything, P7— P7(2)P7<通讯框>||:Put me down first!+(Cough)... In short, this disease thing, uhm...it was all a misunderstanding! ()||:The Dolls in the S.F. base freeze for a moment. Spitfire then lowers her gun and exchanges a blank look with Welrod.+Alchemist, on the other hand, can no longer contain herself and laughs out loud. P7(2)P7<通讯框>||:So, um, this morning, I had my Dinergates steal one of Miss Kalin's makeup kits so I could draw some spots on Super SASS's body and make her look like a zombie...+I'll have you know my plan was perfect! I learned several days in advance that Miss Kalin would be out today, and that she'd put on makeup prior to leaving!+As it turned out, the heavens were on my side, because she left that makeup kit with its ridiculous colors sitting right there on her table, although I still could have gotten it even if she did lock it inside her cabinet!+And then, I mobilized my Dinergate army to go smear the makeup inside Super SASS's clothes and face towel while she wasn't looking! I thought that even if it doesn't get on her body, it'd get on her face, at least! Man, it was really scary. I almost ran into TAC-50!+But how was I supposed to know that SASS wouldn't wear her normal outfit today, but her Halloween costume! She actually dressed up so well for a mission yet she wouldn't even wash her face! Hmph! Spitfire(2)Spitfire||:Get to the point, P7! P7(2)P7<通讯框>||:Okay, okay, I'm getting there!+The point is I was totally disappointed that Super SASS went out for a mission and I accidentally rubbed against the makeup and I couldn't wash it off so I threw the kit away— ()||AVG_pistol_finalshot_n:Bang! Spitfire shoots at the ground.+P7 shrinks away on the hologram display and P90 takes the communicator. P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:Uh, I think I'll explain the rest... ()||:P90 takes a deep breath. P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:So I saw P7 giving her Dinergates the orders, but I didn't see what happened with SASS...+So, um, later on while I was on sentry duty, I got so bored that when I was changing posts, I copied what P7 was doing and had some drones pick up the makeup kit and gave the same orders to the drones...+I have to say, P7 really messed up the makeup kit, so I tried to sort it out in a corner somewhere. I finished writing up the order after a lot of work and had the drones carry bits of makeup.+I even mapped out their routes! That would allow the drones to cover the entire base, and if they spotted a target they would swoop down to scatter makeup on them! Hehe, I'm sure P7 could never have thought of such a cunning plan— Spitfire(2)Spitfire||AVG_pistol_finalshot_n:And. Then? P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:A-A-A-And then! And then I ended up with Welrod, and because I started copying Welrod, I...I forgot about those drones... ()||:P90's voice trails off, and her eyes seem to be unfocused and darting around.+The only sound in the S.F. base, apart from Alchemist's exhausted laughter, is the quiet electrical hum of their communicators.+Welrod and Spitfire look at each other, suddenly unsure of what to say. Spitfire(2)Spitfire||:In other words...there is no epidemic in the base, big sis 75 isn't sick, and all of this happened because of...Miss Kalin's makeup? P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:Yes...that's correct... ()||:P90's voice is barely audible. Spitfire(2)Spitfire||:...P7, P90... You two... P7(2)P7<通讯框>||:Uuu... We're sorry... Big sis Spitfire, I can hear you cracking your knuckles from over there... ()||:Silence washes over the S.F. base once again. At this point, even Alchemist has shut up to listen with a look of interest on her face. P7(2)P7<通讯框>||:P90, didn't you say it would be safer if we came clean... P7(2);P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:You went into way too much detail... P7(2)P7<通讯框>;P90(0)||:I thought our punishment would be lighter that way... P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:I didn't expect Spitfire to get this angry... Spitfire(2)Spitfire||Select:...Do the two of you really think I can't see what you're saying just because you reduced your font size? P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:We're sorry we're sorry we're really really sorry...! BOSS-5(0)Alchemist||:Well, since that's the end of your ridiculous antics, perhaps it's time for me to take my leave— ()||ClothingUp:Welrod pins Alchemist down as she tries to get up. Welrod(4)Welrod MkⅡ||:Although it is true that Alchemist is innocent regarding this incident...+Her name is still "Alchemist", and there is no telling what other kind of contagion she could spread next time.+Shall we...take her alive back to the base for research? Spitfire(2)Spitfire||:I have no problem with that. Spitfire(2);P90(0)P90<通讯框>||:I'm not opposed to it... Spitfire(2);P7(2)P7>||:Research? Sure, sure— Spitfire(2)Spitfire||<黑屏1>:However, when we get back...I want to make a condition for the both of you, P7, P90. ()||83<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:...+Halloween. Late at night.+Inside the Griffin base. ()||GF_Memorial:A thread on the message board has gotten a massive surge of replies in a short period of time. Unsurprisingly, the thread is created by MDR. ()MDR||<白屏1>:"Hehe, come see the exclusive pictures personally taken by everyone's favorite, MDR! I got this shot by accident while I was sending my drones out to collect intel in the evening. Remember to comment, subscribe, and smash that like button!"+"Did something happen between them this Halloween? MDR will investigate in person after this! Ahhh stop cutting in between my posts—" ()||211<白屏2>:...+The slightly blurry picture in the post depicts five distinct smiling faces.+—Of course, Alchemist is still wearing her usual mocking smile, which somewhat annoys Spitfire who's beside her, but it only serves to make MDR's post that much more popular. ()Just A Hero Passing By||:"I'm so moved by the Secret Special Search Team. They protected the people important to them..." ()Cola is the Strongest||:"P7 is such a dork, she messed up right from the start with her dumb prank ahahaha" ()Do Dolls Eat Electric Pig?||:"To think they'd cause such a big fiasco! I almost thought I wouldn't be able to make it until sifu comes back from her mission..." ()Miss Tarot||:"Huh, I wonder what we can do with Alchemist. It would be nice if she could help me with my fortune-telling..." ()Low-key Fairy King||<黑屏1>:"Hehe, an alchemist, huh? Alchemist is perfect! Just the one I need to enrich my vaults—" ()||9<黑点2>:...Midnight.+In the secret room of the command center. ()Commander||:Is anybody out there? Will someone PLEASE let me out? It's past midnight already! It isn't even Halloween anymore! BOSS-9(0)Architect<通讯框>||:This secret room really lives up to its name, hehe... You can scream until you go hoarse but nobody will hear you. BOSS-9(0)Commander<通讯框>||:You speak like you own the place. BOSS-9(0)Architect<通讯框>||:Because today was very amusing! And besides, nobody's come to lock me back up. Ah, freedom is bliss— BOSS-9(0)Commander<通讯框>||:So you're not disappointed? BOSS-9(0)Architect<通讯框>||:Hm? I have no idea what you're talking about. BOSS-9(0)Commander<通讯框>||:You must feel upset that you didn't achieve your objective, right? BOSS-9(0)Architect<通讯框>||:Hehe, I don't really hold grudges... And besides, it's fun to play around like this from time to time.+You, on the other hand, will probably have to wait until the celebration is over before someone remembers that you're locked up in here. BOSS-9(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Damn...how troublesome it is to not have comms access...+Hey, tell you what, get someone to come rescue me. I'll make sure to have Kalina pay you back after I get out! BOSS-9(0)Architect<通讯框>||<黑屏1>:Heehee...in that case, you'll owe me one, Commander of Griffin♪
