So he was sent here with no information as to what he would be doing. That surprised Fen, since she'd thought Zanipher would have approached his Dragon in private before giving a mission to their subordinates. Nonetheless, she had a duty to inform this young man as to what they would be doing.

"Since no one has come down demanding your removal from this building, Kurai, I'm going to assume you're the guy I'm going to work with. And that means I'm going to be very frank with you." Fen leaned forward, resting her arms on the tabletop.

"You know the symbol of the Nine Dragons. The black, circular hydra. No one within the network is allowed to flaunt the symbol or otherwise expose it to outsiders. Hell, we're supposed to use it as little as possible, except when proving membership. As such," Fen said, reaching into her jacket pocket and tossing her magnetic ID card onto the table. She reached over to a special lamp fixed to the desk and flicked it on, then focused the UV beam onto her card. The aforementioned symbol was revealed, iridescent under the light, until she turned the lamp off and put the card back into her pocket. A logo only visible under a very specific wavelength.

"Well, this symbol has been popping up in the form of street graffiti around Vale's slums. Since all associates are warned about the risk that comes from flashing it as such, these incidents means that a former member of the network, probably a defector, is roaming the streets and encouraging the spraypainting of this symbol. Its blatant usage is a threat to our common security, our ability to continue operating outside of public eye. And to finally get your question," Fen said, catching her breath and pausing a moment.

"I, and I think you too, since you're here, have been instructed to lead a team in tracking down who is performing these acts and ensuring that they don't do it again. I personally would prefer to avoid murder, but if it comes down to a fight and we have no choice but to defend ourselves, then..." Fen shrugged. She still wanted to avoid any killing, a remnant of her crime-free childhood, but self-defense was tantamount. She cleared this thought from her mind.

"What else would you like to know? Anything goes. We can't have any misunderstandings if this mission is to go smoothly." Fen looked into Kurai's face again. She just wanted to know one thing, really: who was this guy? How'd he get involved in the business? But... her questions could come later.
