Picking up her rewards from the fallen foes, Freya could only help but nod at the conversation, the only thing she could have added to it was Lets get going then. More evildoers to capture, more people to save.

"Sounds good," the Rookie responded. "I want to catch as many of these crazies as possible."
"Just be careful," the Veteran warned. "It seems obvious that these guys are packing serious heat. This could turn into a war zone if we don't handle this correctly."
"Where do you think these guys got all their weapons, anyway?"
"Mafia most likely. They are supposed to be backing this group."
"These bastards don't even realize that they are being used. All of their passion is being manipulated to drain our resources so the Mafia can move easier."
"Well, that's why we are cutting off the head here and now. This way we won't have to deal with a bunch of small pockets of terrorists. And if we can capture a major Mafia player? All the better."
The group continued deeper into the base, chaos raging around them as NetPolice Navi battled with groups of radicals. To their left, Freya could see a lone radical slip into a large building, a metal door sliding shut behind him. The lone Navi didn't seem important, just someone trying to escape the fighting. However, there was no intelligence on what was contained in the building. To her right, Freya could see two NetPolice officers escorting another radical between them. The group was heading toward the gates that lead outside the compound. The criminal was bound with a pair of cuffs and looked rather weak. Freya noticed that the two officers were wearing the same crimson armbands she had seen earlier. A building stood about ten yards in front of Freya. She thought she recognized a Navi crawling along the top of the building, moving silently toward what looked to be a skylight. Freya might recognize the Navi as a member of the Prosecutions taskforce.

Watching the navi duck into the bunker, Freya couldn't help but feel like something was going on, but she couldn't ditch her squad to find out and possibly be deleted in the process. She'd have sent Mask after the navi, but she wasn't strong enough to hold her own in a battle, even if it was a 1 on 1 battle with a navi.
Guys. I just saw a navi duck into a building. Freya said as she pointed at the metal door the navi ducked into. I'm not sure if it's worth checking out or not however. Something tells me something big is going to happen soon.

"That sounds promising," the Veteran remarked as Freya outlined what she witnessed. "Maybe there is a secret escape route in the building, or perhaps some important documents."
"Maybe we'll even find MorphMan," the Rookie chimed in.
"I hope not. We are no match for him without backup from the Prosecutions squad."
The trio plus SP moved toward the building. No one seemed particularly interested, preoccupied by their own battles as they were. The veteran and rookie stood at either side of the door, weapons drawn. The rookie grabbed the handle and twisted, throwing the door open and stepping back so that the veteran could enter. With no immediate reaction from within, the two NetPolice officers entered the building.
From the doorway, Freya could see that the building was a warehouse of sorts. It was filled with stacks of boxes that created a maze within the dimly lit room. No doubt there was some important data stored in the room. There was a sound off to the left and Freya thought she saw a shadow disappear behind a stack of boxes. There were multiple aisles that made their way through the stacks and the shadow disappeared into the aisle closest to the left wall. The other aisles might lead to the same spot, though there was no guarantee considering the size of the bunker and the amount of shadows. Of course, it was also possible to scale the boxes and use the height as a vantage point.

Hmmm...interesting. Freya mumbled as she looked over the area, crates stacked high up, a nice vantage point for her to act as lookout. But, with Morphman running around, they couldn't be too careful. I'll act as Lookout, these crates are a good vantage point. Commander, I think you and Rookie should take a look around together, but, we should have something to identify each other should Morphman be here. Freya said. She waved her hand a little and out of thin air, two, smooth, wooden armbands with the symbols for Nature carved into them, easy for Freya and her cohorts to identify. Wear these. It'll be easy to identify each other this way should Morphman think he can copy our appearances. Freya explained as the same symbols appeared on her left arm, freshly "carved" into her arm.
What about me Puppet? Not that I think your plan is going to work or anything. Mask sneered at her owner, waiting for Freya's comeback. You get to stand guard here. And I don't intend to leave you defenseless either. Jack, Rageclaw2 if you please. Freya said before asking her netop. A swift click from her PET indicated the slot-in, Freya then put her hand on Mask's head and transferred the data into her body. Use it if you get into trouble. Alright, I'm going to my position, contact me if you find anything. Freya said as she sent some info towards the two so they could contact her if need be as she began to climb and jump up the stacked crates in an attempt to get to the top, Mask went to her position and proceeded to wait.

Freya headed up top, climbing onto the boxes in order to afford herself a better view. Mask stood guard, harnessing Freya's loaned battlechip data as a weapon. The veteran NetPolice Navi and his rookie partner headed into the stacks, each taking a separate aisle while keeping Freya's pile between them.
Freya could see the area immediately around her down both isles. The darkness still prevented her from piercing the shadows deeper in the building. Was that movement within the darkness ahead of the veteran? Was that a rustling behind her?
"Heh," the voice seemed to come from every direction. "I didn't think anyone would willingly walk into this room. I applaud your courage."
It was a man's voice, though soft and with a sinister edge. Freya couldn't see its source, though she had to assume it was coming from within the shadows.
"Heads up rookie," the veteran warned.
"Got it," the rookie responded. "What do you thi-"
The rookie was cut off by a obsidian bolt of energy that shot out of the darkness. The rookie barely dodged the beam, slamming his back against the wall to his right. He responded by firing off a few rounds into the shadows. The flash from his gun muzzle revealed still move boxes, but the assailant was no where to be found.
"Damn it," the rookie muttered. "Where the hell is he?!"

Wonderful. Can't snipe in a place like this. Freya thought as she looked around, hoping to keep the two in her sights. That was interrupted quickly as a voice sounded out into the area, presumably from the shadows. "Heh," the voice seemed to come from every direction. "I didn't think anyone would willingly walk into this room. I applaud your courage."
Is that Morphman? she thought, looking about. She had to worry about the two down there, no defenses and unable to mount an attack. I've screwed up royally. This is my fault for bringing them down here and they could easily pay for it. Need to find that voice and disable the one behind it. She continued, forming a type of launcher out of thin air so that she may launch a preemptive attack, or at least identify their common foe.
Jack, Firebomb. Freya whispered as Jack slotted in the chosen chip, Freya receiving it a moment later. Now...just have to calibrate this correctly. She thought, placing the bomb in the launcher, imbuing it with her sniper skills, it should seek the mysterious foe out of the darkness...but all things considered, it was a long shot, one in a million, if not more. Aiming her launcher up in order to achieve maximum distance, a quick double check of her trajectory and she pulled the trigger, launching the bomb into the air towards the middle of the area, hopefully the bomb would have half a mind of it's own and manage to strike the general area of their mystery enemy.

Freya launched the bomb toward the shadows where their opponent was last seen. The bomb exploded, sending a wave of fire billowing forth. Several boxes in the vicinity caught fire, providing much needed light. The fire illuminated another section of boxes that cut through the aisles, almost bisecting the room entirely. The attacking Navi must have been moving within the space between the perpendicular wall and the parallel aisles.
Freya's attack didn't seem to have harmed the attacker, but it did reveal that he was no longer within two aisles that the NetPolice had been moving down.
"Good thinking," the rookie shouted. "We can use the light to hunt him down."
"But there is too many hiding places within this building," the veteran responded. "And we don't want to burn this whole place down around us. Hell, we don't even know what's in these boxes. We need to hamper his movements. Maybe we can drop these walls of boxes and block off the other aisles?"

Good idea commander. Freya nodded as she looked around in her limited vision. I think I have an idea. Commander, Rookie, go towards the far left of the area and try to drop some of the boxes down on that side, I'll drop down some of the boxes over here while my SP continues to guard the exit, she should be able to handle herself. Stay in contact with me, plans can always change at a moment's notice. Freya said as she waved one of her hands to try and get the two to move towards the far left as Freya was quite content in her sniper position for the moment.
Waiting for the two to move out of her sight, Freya commissioned another battle chip from her netop, one of their Ringlog chips would probably do the trick with it's wideness and it's ability to attack twice with just one of it. Quickly summoning a pair of large logs in her hands and standing, Freya quickly calculated where to strike as her barrier and casing appeared around her just before. Hefting one of the logs up in her hand, she quickly tossed it at around the middle of the stacks in front of her as well as tossing the other log at the top of the stacks in front of her right after, to keep the boxes from falling towards her instead of towards the back, she could only hope her plan would bear fruit as she waited and sent out a small wave of data that could drain her foe's energy and give it back to her. Mask, however, quickly steeled herself for an attack from the front, curling up enough to help defend her own hide from attacks.

Freya and her companions proceeded to attack the walls of boxes, forcing them to collapse into haphazard piles. Along with the sound of falling data cubes, Freya could make out a muffled shout followed quickly by annoyed groaning. Sounds of shuffling and laborious movement came from the darkness, but it wasn't enough to pinpoint the location of her opponent. In fact, the sounds seemed to be coming from various places within the room.
"Well," the ominous voice sounded again. "That obviously didn't go as planned. You guys are worthless."
"We're worthless?" The voice was the same as the first and still sounded as though it was coming from all around. "What about you? You missed that stupid cop."
"What? Which one are you?"
"Why? Who are you?"
"Damn it! Its too dark."
There was the loud click followed by a low pitched hum. The lights brightened suddenly, washing away the darkness. With the sudden light, Freya could make out a series of figures arrayed around the room. The largest of the figures was an elongated blob of inky darkness. The figure looked vaguely humanlike, with a head and torso along with two arms. However, the bottom of the torso ended in a flowing puddle. The rest of the Navi's features looked almost melted, like a man crafted from candle wax. Freya could make out what looked to be two eyes, twin spheres of flame, and a gaping hole that served as a mouth.
The other figures looked similar to the first, though smaller and each was a different color: red, blue, orange and pink. The eyes of each of the four smaller blobs were crafted from black goo like that which made up the larger blob.
"Now, who was talking?"
All of the blobs spoke at once and the sound came from each. It was no easier to tell who had spoken now than it was before.
"Me," the blobs spoke.
"Good, then you get to fight them first."
"C'mon, SlinkMan! Why me? Why not Slinky?"
"What? Why not Stinky?"
"Why not Kinky?"
"Why not John?"
"Shut up! Stop arguing!" All of the blobs pointed toward Freya. "You may have forced us to reveal ourselves, but don't think you'll win. We'll destroy you all!"
