[ He's been asked to make a mechanical limb for Marco. He's never started a project like this before, isn't sure where to start, but as with anything--it's always best to get references. And since Shinobu's design seems to put up fairly well with all the shit she puts it through (seriously, who does her maintenance?) he figures her model must be worth emulating.
Trouble is, he's never seen it up close. ]

[Shinobu was away on the Alpha team mission, so she doesn't see this for a while, but boy does she come back to a doozy.]

Wow, he really doesn't fuck around, does he?
[But yeah, yeah, she actually works on something more constructive.]
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
If you're not ready to say it, though, doesn't that kind of answer your question? I mean, forcing yourself to say it would probably make things awkward, wouldn't it?
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have a person say that kind of thing when they felt comfortable saying it and not just doing it to try to appease me or something.

November and I went to look for him after receiving no coherent responses, and we found something. Trying to use the tracker, we discovered that his beacon showed up in a number of different locations.

We have reason to believe that he may have been compromised.

Now that the training rooms are open, I'm gonna blow off some steam for a while.
[It's only a shame the Black Box wasn't open.
However, even she couldn't train herself at all hours. If she were to remain as a functional member of the team – for Dagger's sake, if nothing else – she needed to try to relax herself at times too. With all of this weighing on her mind, that part would prove more difficult than anything else.]

If you want to hang later, I'd appreciate it.

[It takes Shinobu a few minutes to respond, because even as a part of the spy team, she doesn't remember every single person she responds too. After a while, though, she recalls having a brief conversation with him, some time ago.]

What is it?
[Considering the news, she has a pretty good idea, but she wanted to confirm it anyway.]

[Havoc wasn't sure how she felt about Dagger being dead.
She was too newly returned to the capacity to feel in general to have formed a new opinion of the instructor based in her current range of emotion. But she knew how she felt- he had been unpredictable, not the best trait, but he had said he liked her, something as a Contractor she had been glad for. Ingratiating yourself to superiors was always a useful skill, and though she'd mind it now, she hadn't minded then- knowing that favor had likely only been because of the raw destruction she was capable of.
But she did know how she felt about killing simply for a rank. About April being dead and the whispers that Honey may have been the cause, but they lacked proof.
It's what brought her to Shinobu's door, what made her ring the comm, standing there awkwardly with slightly hollow gaze and dark circles under her eyes (couldn't sleep, the taste of copper was too fresh on her tongue, Dagger's gift of blood mocking her, condemning her from the foot of her bunk.). She didn't trust the Blackglass for this.]

[This latest event brought forth a couple different ironies for Shinobu. One, she came from a profession where it was straight up stated that one assassin would have to kill another to obtain a ranked position. She should be used to this. She agreed to join the CDC, expecting this kind of anarchy, with the idea that she wouldn't get attached to anyone and merely work as long as she needed to obtain the vengeance Shinobu had sought for years before.
The last thing she expected was that the need for vengeance would be awakened again only months after getting what she came for in the first place. Was her life just going to be a perpetual cycle of vengeance? It was all so exhausting to think about.
After spending a considerable amount of time fighting and training, Shinobu is fortunately in her room when she wonders who's stopping by to visit. She's actually a little surprised when she sees Havoc outside, in the hall.
Even if she's not feeling at her best, Shinobu still notices that Havoc's not looking too good either. Even if she wasn't the most compassionate person around, she still took the job of looking after her unit seriously.]
Havoc? [Her brows furrow as she opens her door a little wider.] What's up? You wanna come inside or would you rather walk?

He's good. Napping right now.
[Ever since Dagger went missing, Shinobu had started to give her furball a little more affection to try to console herself. Needless to say, it was lapping up the attention happily.]

What's done is done, unless you can tell me that this is all just one bad fever dream.
[She pauses after his message about the shower rover, taking the time to lament that she'd never get to shower Dagger again. Even if it was never sexual in the least, it was still the most intimate she ever got with anyone in her life.]

I don't know. I don't think I'd be too good at the philosophizing thing right now.

[ Shortly after the Captain's announcement, the next time Shinobu steps into the hallway someone accidentally bumps into her. There will be no apology. Trying to catch up with the figure will be useless, as a hood covers their face and they're gone before she can blink. There is no indication as to who it was.
Instead, she will find something has been slipped into her hand. A small piece of paper, along with a badge depicting Big Dipper that clips onto her cuff. All the note says is "Wear it for him." ]

[The person bumping into her catches her off-guard, which was concerning for someone like Shinobu. However, when she can't even pick up which direction they left in, Shinobu just furrows her brow before retreating to the bathroom in her room to read the note.
The contents leave her staring at it for a long while, wondering if this is some kind of trap... but what did she have to lose? After tinkering with the badge, she flushes the note down the toilet.]

My last name didn't translate into the code well at all. So, it's an improvement, but it also leaves huge shoes to fill.
[She had been upset, at first, not knowing if this was some kind of taunt at her, an insult to him, or just some weird glitch.
But with the news that Dagger was apparently being erased from the system, the least she could do was keep his name in the system somehow, even if just through a loophole.]

[ One message that precedes Gliese's announcement, and one that follows fast on its heels. There is a countdown in progress that he must also beat. Somewhere within the thirty minutes allotted by the Captain, he moves. His target is Shinobu's cuff. Detecting him is difficult; he wears no armor and no uniform. His presence speaks of battle-worn fluidity and lifetimes of practice in evasion.
She will find a flash of light invading her field of vision. A sharp gust of air passes, smelling of a storm. If she is quick, she'll witness a thin, flat expanse of glowing metal attaching itself to her cuff. It slips beneath its interface and causes its functions to waver with what appears to be static. A glitch, perhaps. It is a process which lasts seconds. Maybe less.
If she is quicker, she will find a human face looking over his shoulder at her. Only the dim electric glow of his eyes suggests otherwise. His lips quirk and he lifts a finger to them.
A blink will yield an imprint of light, and no one standing before her. ]

[After the previous run in with– something, Shinobu is more on edge when she comes across yet another person going at a speed she can barely comprehend. While she herself could move with fluidity and was insanely competent with the evasion thing, she had probably only been working at that for maybe half of her lifetime... which really wasn't a lot of experience in comparison.
She manages to catch a glimpse of the face, but it only leaves her more confused.
What the hell was even going on here?
Shinobu began to wonder if it was a good idea to put the cuff on, in the first place, but hell. She had already gone this far down, in the hole. Might as well see where it led to.]
