"We're done here, Madam Ch'en." Amiya informed, she and the Doctor walking up to her and an L.G.D. agent.

"About those Reunion suspects that we rounded up a few days ago... Have we been able to get any information out of them?" Ch'en asked the agent. "..." The agent recalled the suspect never uttering a word. "...Nothing. They refused to speak at all. Perhaps... he just doesn't know anything at all. Like the other Reunion members we defeated, they're probably nothing more than obedient puppets." They replied.

"...Make them speak. Use any methods necessary. I want to know about their squads, their leadership, their strategies, where they're from, and what they plan to do... Get everything out of them that you can. I want everything I can get. Report back to me right away, no matter how insignificant it might seem." Ch'en ordered. "Roger!" The agent said before marching away.

"Has the L.G.D. ever attested Reunion members before?" Amiya asked. "We can't say for sure. In the end, it's just speculation," Ch'en answered, before turning to the next agent. "Get me in touch with Hoshiguma! How's the Special Operations Division faring? Are they still being overwhelmed by a single Infected?" Ch'en asked. "...Reunion seems to have pulled back on their end as well. Inspector Hoshiguma is worried about a possible trap and is trying to rule out all risks..." The agent informed.

"Hmph... just a single person... Who the hell do they think they are, coming and going like that?!" Ch'en shouted. "...You should already know what your next mission is going to be, Doctor." Ch'en said composing herself.

"Retrieving Misha, I assume?" The Doctor asked. "Correct. This will be the joint operation. The L.G.D will take the lead, while Rhodes Island will be in charge of recon and the assault. Your mission is complete as long as you can stall Reunion's retreat." Ch'en debriefed. "Understood." The Doctor replied, but the second Ch'en walked away:

"Call Penguin Logistics..." He whispered to Amiya. "I'm gonna go... do something..." The Doctor said winking at Amiya, who nodded with a smile, the Doctor going after Ch'en.

"It's about time you showed up, Hoshiguma." Ch'en said to a woman with long green hair, a singular horn on her forehead, and stood at six feet tall.

"Apologies. We were delayed for a long time." Hoshiguma responded, before spotting the Doctor, who 'snuck' beside Ch'en. "Any injuries?" Ch'en asked, either not realizing he was there, or ignoring him. "No. However, we were shocked by how strong that Infected was. The Special Ops Division had already committed a lot of members to reinforcing Lungmen's defense. I had to take the rest of the available members with me." Hoshiguma stated.

"...Was your entire squad held up by a single enemy?" Ch'en asked again, still in disbelief. "I didn't believe it either until I saw it with my own eyes. That person... truly was that strong. On top of that, she seemed a bit... absent-minded?" Hoshiguma pondered. "Anyway, who's this little guy? Is he with Rhodes Island?" Hoshiguma asked pointing to the Doctor.

"That was uncalled for..." He replied with disdain. "Anyway. I'm... damn. Dont remember my name— I'm the Doctor of Rhodes Island. Nice to meet you." The Doctor said extending his hand. "Hoshiguma, an elite from the Special Operations Division." Ch'en introduced.

"So you're the Rhodes Island I've been hearing so much about? You look so young." Hoshiguma commented. "Thanks, means a lot since I don't know how old I am." Doctor said with a smile as they shook hands.

"Anyway, let's cut the small talk. Any ideas about what we do now?" Hoshiguma asked. "Well," The Doctor began, Amiya walking up and whispering in his ear. "Two of our special agents have located the kidnappers location. They're actively tracking Reunion, and can provide us with directions." Doctor answered.
