(The Following Morning: Window Overlooking the Streets of the Imperial Capital)

"Livestock...livestock...livestock..." Gebaze, the overweight financial official, muttered repeatedly with an evil smirk, watching depressed and exhausted worked walk the streets below. "I never get tired of seeing those ragged faces...you can't really call it exploitation when you're dealing with pigs and vermin." Gebaze chuckled lightly and rested his head on his fist. "The alcohol I bought with those peasant's taxes is particularly delicious. I think I'll start collecting even more starting next month."

"Master." A soft, feminine voice spoke up from behind Gebaze. "It's time for you massage."

"OH! I've been looking forward this!" Gebaze exclaimed with a smile, turning in his chair to face his personal maid. Quickly snapping his fingers several times, Gebaze turned back around in his chair. "Make today's a refreshing-full-body rubdown...with a happy ending."

"Of course...master. I'm always happy to serve you." The maid muttered, as she slowly walked towards Gebaze, silently extracting a needle hidden from within her mouth. Reaching the back of Gebaze's seat, the maid swiftly plunged the needle into his neck, slicing through crucial nerves and piercing his windpipe. Wheezing out a strangled gasp, Gebaze's eyes rolled into the back of his head, before he slumped forward in his chair. Snapping her fingers, the maid was briefly surrounded by a veil of smoke. When the smoke dissipated it revealed that the murderous maid was actually Chelsea in disguise. "Mission accomplished." Wiping the bloody needle off on Gebaze's expensive clothes, Chelsea slipped it back into her makeup container. However, Chelsea's eyes widened when she heard muffled shouts and rapid footsteps coming from the floor below. "Shit, they have to coming this way! It'll be too dangerous to make a run for it..." Chelsea quickly scanned the entire room, looking for anything to help elude her pursuers. A sudden idea flashed through her mind when she spotted one of Gebaze's house cats. Waisting no time, Chelsea grabbed her Gaia Foundation.

"This is the Jaegers!" Wave exclaimed, kicking in the door to Gebaze's bedroom. With Kurome tailing closely behind, Wave rushed into the room. "We intercepted information that Night Raid may be targeting this home! We're here to respond to this urgent matter!" Reaching the center of the room, Wave was confused when he didn't receive any type of reply. "That's odd, I thought Gebaze was supposed to be home at this time."

"Wave." Kurome said, as she gestured to the lone chair near the window. Walking over, Wave tightly balled his fists in frustration when he saw Gebaze's lifeless corpse sitting in the chair. "We're too late."

(Several Hours Later: Night Raid's Hidden Base)

"That whole mission was a trap." Chelsea said in an irritated tone, before taking a sip of her coffee. "I barely made it out of there."

"You're one tough bitch if managed to get out of there unscathed." Mine complimented, as she set her own mug of coffee down. "I'll admit, I'm pretty impressed."

"Well that fat bastard did have a couple house cats roaming around." Chelsea explained, patting her Gaia Foundation, which was resting on the chair next to her. "I transformed into one them to blend in and sneak out."

"I don't think I could have kept my cool in a situation like that..." Mine muttered, as she stroked her chin. "I hate to say it...but your teigu is pretty versatile."
