"There's two problems with that, though I hate to admit it. One is that I'm on a mission for the Netpolice and I'm supposed to be looking for a 'serial data jacker'. They didn't say I had to bring the jacker in- but I had to 'solve' the case of all of this anyway. That begs the question of whether or not the data jacker is you. That is the first problem." Soundman explained grimly, ending his small speech with a sigh.
"The second problem only comes up if you indeed are the data jacker. And don't lie, please, I can still take the emblem and blast you and I really don't want to have to do that."
SOUNDMAN INSIDE, LOL.

The Kunoichi laughed at Soundman's threat "Down boy. Shooting me will get you nowhere." She paused for a second, still chuckling, then continued... "Of course I'd be the 'serial-data-jacker'. Sellouts aren't complete unless your name's ruined along with your chances of survival." She sighed. "The only problem with their charge is that this would be my first offense. I haven't taken any other data theft jobs. This would be what you'd call a setup. It happens when you're a merc for hire, and someone needs a scapegoat." She began absently flipping the Emblem through her fingers, but made no other movements otherwise. She was oddly confident, given her situation.

Soundman nodded, but then quickly realized the gesture would be wasted on her. "Well, I have two questions then. The first... what's your name?"
Soundman waited for her to reply.

"Mirage.EXE. Kunoichi and mercenary for hire..." She paused with a sigh "...at your disposal it would seem." She continued to flip the coin through her fingers.

"Now that, I'd be more than happy to share." She smiled "My contact was a new generation female Navi. She went by 'Flame.EXE' when we talked." She paused, her eyes focusing on the coin she was flipping through her fingers. "I'll bet you a drive-load of Zenny that that name's as real as the mission I took."

"Probably." Soundman scratched his chin for a moment, "Tell you what. I'll do more than let you 'walk away', I'll tell the Netpolice that the data thief was a navi who went by Flame.exe, but she 'got away, as thieves tend to do.'" Soundman chuckled at this, but continued. "But you have to show me where Wiz is. Deal?"

"Deal." Mirage replied as she stood up. Her eyes had cleared, and were tracking once again. The first thing she did was look Soundman over and declare "Yep, you're the stereo system."
She reached around behind herself with her right hand and withdrew, of all things, a scroll. She took it, and the Emblem, and handed them both to Soundman. "That should be everything you need to find and revive your brother. Feel free to open and read it while I'm standing here. It's not trapped. Let me know when you're satisfied, and I'll be on my merry way." She paused and waited for Soundman's response.

Soundman carefully held the scroll in one hand and the emblem in the other, and nodded, turning to leave- "Oh, one more thing." He paused, turning to face her again. "I forgive you." Soundman smiled, a wide, lopsided grin, and then turned around, unraveled the scroll a bit to start following the directions, and walked off.

When he got no response, Soundman looked over his shoulder to see Mirage was, like her namesake, gone. The BambooKnife was sitting exactly where she'd dropped it.
The scroll was accurate, and would eventually lead Soundman straight to Wiz. Reviving the other Navi was as simple as the mercenary had said it would be, and worked on the first try.
There were still a few HeelNavis running about, but they seemed more interested in finding the exit than bothering with anyone.
