"Because people like me can hear you when you talk over the radio, and where not always friendly" ,the fox chipped in as a response.

"You must remember that codes work better for feild ops, then they do the downtime".

"I guess. Oh, and because it's cool." Green Swan remarked. He slid up some more so that his butt was finally back on the chair, if only the edge, and leaned forwards, towards the Faunus. Dammit. Maybe he could risk it among this group. "And you haven't introduced yourself, ma'am. What's your deal?"

Dahlia was also driving today. It was a red convertable car, with the roof down. Old fashioned sure, but she didn't particularly thrive in modernity and uncle Celadon gave it as her graduation present. She was greatful for the breeze from the motion of the vehicle. It was bad enough wearing a sweater in this heat. Dahlia refused to remove the sweaters.

The sweater she was wearing today come to think of it was extremely ironic. It was different layers of clouds, lighning bolt patterns on her capris, it seemed like her outfit was geared to represent rain as she drove through the dessert. For now though there was only wind. It kept her cool enough for now, even though she knew that was a poor substitute for actual hydration. She had prepared a dozen canteens of water in case the worst happened. Luckily they turned out to be uneeded. She had arrived on the compound.


After descending to the second floor she plopped down on the couch next to a fox Faunus womn. "Hi I'm Rose Sheep!" she said with a smile. "Are you excited about this?" she said. "I know I am."

"Alisa" shrugged at Alex's question. "Honestly, I think that whoever came up with the codenames just think they're cool. Then again, I suppose we have to hide our identities during missions. This team does not officialy exist, after all."

She then looked at Prospa, well, at least her mask faced towards the other woman.

"I'm armed because I'm a Huntress. There's no other reason."

"As for the mask, I wear it because I am hideously disfigured, and all who look at my gruesome visage would go mad."

She said that with a completely deadpan voice.

"I go by Vixen, if you want to know any more, it is going to take more then being some one I just met" ,the fox says pinning her one ear slightly, it was clear this was not her real name, or her code name.

"In Ops, I am "White Wolf" I can operate electronics, cars, make that vehicles of all sorts, I like any thing with a big motor...." ,the fox pauses holding up her monstrosity of a laptop "Between this and my semblance if it is man made I can help use it.... not too good of a fighter though"

Alex smiled back at Dahlia and... White Wolf. Nice names all around. Excited people, too. Nice to know. "Hey, I get that, yeah. Far as motors go..." He rapped on his backpack, getting a few solid thumps out of cactus. "It's primitive, some might say barbaric, but what are your thoughts on chainsaws? Like, you've really gotten my attention here, if you don't mind maybe I could get some feedback. Do you think a driving motor's more important than chain strength, and do you think that the stresses a longer chain goes through are worth it for improved range?"

Meeting Room

Prospa rolled her eyes at the response. "Yes and perhaps I'm a Beowolf Alpha using cybernetic technology to sneak into this base as a former Beacon student. Do give me some credit, dear. Idiots rarely end up specializing in Dust use. We are known for being extremely detail oriented, however."

"That sounds like a unique semblance." said Dahlia. "I just shock things mostly." she said. She decided to take a look around the room.

"Alisa" started massaging her toes, seemingly completely unaffected by Prospa's words.

Inwardly, Lucretia was both somewhat annoyed, impressed, and thinking that maybe she should have gotten a better disguise. Then again, in her defense, the disguise wasn't her idea. However, she did see the point in it. Can't have the Queen be caught doing something of questionable legality.

"Well then, who do you think I am under this mask? A rock star?" "Alisa" asked with a snort of laughter.

Meeting

The fox kinda just nodded to being excited, then set about thinking about the chain saw question.

"Personally I would go for torque over chain strength, or RPM, especially if your using it as a weapon the less that it slows down when you cut into something the better, and it is much easier to replace the chain once it wears down then it is to pull apart the entire motor when it burns out"

"You could be a superhero." Dahlia suggested. "They often show up in secret government type organizations."

She was half joking, because for the life of her she couldn't see the difference between a powerful Hunter and a superhero in the first place.

"My first guess would be one of the Nobles, related to someone on the council." Prospa responded, easily.

"Big enough to realize we'd recognize your voice if we heard it, dumb enough not to realize that only a face mask with a voice modulator is a clue to your identity in and of itself if you aren't the brains behind this operation. I, of course have more specific guesses but I have a sense that you'd like me to keep them quiet lest they stray to close to the truth." The witch leaned back in satisfaction.

"Ah, I see." Alex squinted in further interest. "And if I prioritize replaceable chains, it makes the least expensive part the most easily upgraded. I drop some cash now for discounts later down the line." He smiled back. "It'd also allow me to bring a bunch of chains and just recklessly saw straight through concrete or whatever I'd need to, under the premise that I could just drop and swap out chains instead of losing sharpness. Thank you, that's really helpful! Is there anything I can help you on?" He turned slightly to the mechanic's side. "And Sheep, shit, sorry, totally left you in the dust on that conversation. You got any thoughts on my chainsaw problems?"

I retconned it so that Dahlia introduced herself using her codename.

The sheep Faunus said. "Where I come from chainsaws are more tools then weapons, and thus I prioritize power over anything else. It feels great to just slice through a dead tree like it's practically nothing."

"There are multiple types of power, you got Torque, and you have RPM.... these are not the same thing" The fox chimes in.

"Alisa" laughed, easily. "Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, you're extremely paranoid?"

"I could take this mask off. Right now, if it would make you feel better."

Lucretia wasn't bluffing. Most of the people of Vale had not seen the Queen in public, after all. Public appearances were tiresome to her, and as such she had always used spokepeople and proxies. The only people who regularly saw her were the palace staff and those who went on missions with her.

....Then again, it was still a gamble. This woman was clearly intelligent. There was a good chance she's recognize her immediately. She would test her out first.

She deactivated the voice distortion.

"Well? What do you think?"

"I agree with her then." she said. "Hello!" she said waving to the guy in the hoodie. "You sound sophisticated" she said to Alisia.

"Uh-huh." Alex took in that information too. Power, at all times. That's what these women liked. "And vans, you guys know the things with the things we also put in chainsaws? Mine nearly stranded me recently, you guys think you can give me a hand making sure nothing else in it will kill me? I can at least help you guys with some extra pairs of hands." He smiled at them, and briefly activated his Semblance. His Aura flared up, then... shifted, detaching from his body and moving several inches to the left, before glomming back onto his body and fading away. "Helped me search for a sparkplug faster, too."

"I have room for you in my car if you need a ride back to civilization." she said. "I bought far more water than I'd likely ever need. Sadly I can't fix the van but I think I could try to tow it back."

Overhearing "Alisa"'s non-distorted voice, Mike furrowed his brow before piping up "Coulda swore I've heard you somewhere before... You go to Beacon, oh, about 15 years back?"

Prospa let out a high pitched cackle in response to the masked woman's monologue. "Occur to me? Ahaha! My dear, I cultivated that instinct. I am Prospa Azulong, as you doubtless already know, my parents threw me out on my ass and then pretended that the separation was my idea when I went to Beacon to try to find a new career path."

Prospa shook her head in derision. "I have my guesses. I am naturally suspicious of those who hide their identity. Attempt to screw me over and you will find yourself regretting it."

Lucretia had indeed read her file. The Queen wondered what Prospa Azulong was like, but the woman really did impress her. In fact, she quite liked her already. Not enough to trust her, surely, but enough for her to consider unmasking.

"Alisa" replied to the other two first.

"Sophisticated? Me? That's a laugh. My mother always thought I was rather uncivilized."

"15 years? Oh, how rude. I'm only thirty. Do I really look that old?" she told Mike, mock offense in her tone.

Lucretia was an actress. Had to be. After years of being both Knight and Queen, what was one more mask?

"Alisa Delfin" was another tool of deception.

She pointed to an adjacent room. "Rather unmask in private. That okay with you?"

Dahlia decided to just laugh hard along with her. Always a good way to keep spirits high. "What do I know? I'm just a country rube after all. There were like 15 people in my hometown."

Prospa leaned her head against one hand. "Oh? Trusting me with so much already? What will your handler say?" She asked, her eyes briefly flickering over the room, searching for something to indicate the presence of hidden cameras or listening devices she was sure were there.
