Platinum surveyed the backdrop through her sniper scope. The moonlight splashed against the uneven silhouettes of the beached fleet, illuminating rust-streaked skeletons and nondescript square warehouses. The image shifted gradually as the lighting from above was sporadically disrupted by rolling clouds.

''It's too hard... without an infrared scope, the scenario's too diverse for me to pinpoint anything.''

Platinum instead looked for any signs of movement in the urban graveyard. Any sudden shifts, an unwarranted tip-off...

There!

She spotted the shadow of a black shape pacing slowly against one of the warehouses, and aimed so that she was looking at the shape through her scope. Yes, that was definitely someone. Someone with a gun.

"I've got a visual on one potential aggressor at the warehouse directly in front of your position," Platinum radioed back. "More than likely there are more where I can't see them. Tigris, any additional sights on your end?"

Platinum exhaled and inhaled, steadying her view through the scope again.

"I'd recommend a silent takedown on the target. We can provide support from afar, but the more we can eliminate before a firefight the better."

Automne nodded. Sounded simple enough in principle. Plus, with her and Zhu-Li's night vision, they would have a natural advantage over human combatants. She turned to her companion.

"Just give us a signal," she responded in a low voice.

''So far so good. I'll give you images of the hostages once they're here.''

If they're in tolerable condition, message me again and I'll send over a convoy, came the response just a few seconds later.

Fen pocketed her Scroll. She hadn't expected a criminal operation to proceed so smoothly. There had been no protest from the smugglers, no hiccoughs in the process... though she resisted the thought, she was starting to see why the black market was so lucrative, if things were this easy.
