Cyzarine was busy rapidly typing series of codes into the computer before receiving a.... message?

An error message in gra- red color appeared on the screen when she mistyped a few characters but corrected them immediately. She wasn't distracted by the message from an anonymous sender who claims to be a Beacon alumna. It was the form of how it was delivered that distracted her. Though a helping hand surprised her because she wasn't expecting to get one at all. She smiled wryly at her own fault and at the chibi then finished her firewall in 5 minutes.

Seeing that the hackers are being removed with an astounding speed, she assumed that this is a doing of an AI. She felt somewhat alarmed and promptly clamped down her thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about it, she reminded herself and mentally noted to look into it later.

Fussing over an unknown potential enemy might be equal to more casualties and fatalities.

The young soldier shifted her focus to the monitors connected to every surveillance cameras in the mall. She surveyed one monitor for three seconds before moving her eyes to another.

Eight active fighters (not including herself), at least eighty civilians, and less than forty mobile hostiles left and counting. The classical hostage taking scenario took the stage once again.

''Even if I go, there's nothing I can do much to turn the table. Negotiation between two sides may not be an option now and forced obedience would be the most appealing course of action for the sake of civilians. However...''

There's no guarantee that obedience could save lives. That would be always the highest possible outcome in hostage situations.

What's their true agenda?

Cyzarine turned around and stretched out her right hand towards the door. The unconscious Faunus was hurled into the room and face palnted on the floor with a loud thud. She summoned her Vector Glyph under his semi-unconscious form and hurled him to the wall this time. He slowly slid down to the ground and finally slouched in an imperfect supine position. Her startled small companion ran to her as she slammed the door shut with her Semblance and started walking towards him with a glass of cold water on her hand, presumanbly left by one of the staff.

She searched for any gadgets on his form before pouring the water on his face. The Faunus screamed in pain and panic due to his lost eyes.

Without batting an eye, she unholstered Adlig Teufel, one from her thigh holster.

"If you wouldn't mind, don't make me repeat my questions. Are we clear?"

"W-What?!"

She shot him at his left shoulder.
