[OUT OF BLUE]

[Prologue]

A folder with documents was slammed onto the desk by a person in a hood. He clutched his hands onto table's corners, then jerked the cloth piece off his head.

"Nova Ethel Kamski, Elijah's only and deeply beloved daughter." Connor begun, circling around deviants, gathered by the planning desk, taking off his cape. "A beautiful heir, a smart student and her father's copy. Who also lives apart from him, on her own." Brunette stopped by Markus, side eyeing his furrowed profile.

Jericho's leader opened a folder, taking out the first photo. A young woman in her early twenties appeared on it. She was 21, according to the document's copies which came in the folder next. Her spiky grey eyes were sure to see her surroundings saturated with fools. On the image, she had her dark hair put up in a firm low ponytail, her chin was slightly lifted in confidence. Connor was certain, that the perfume she wore with that black suit of hers was as heavy and slender as arrogance itself.

"So... you're suggesting a break in?"

"I mean, we can use her as a hostage. Kamski will do anything to keep her princess safe." Hissed North, Connor nodded, agreeing.

"Correct. He's a loving father, even more, a millionaire. He'll have all the resources to give us what we demand." Brunette threw Elijah's photo over his daughter's. "Also this Nova girl is sure to be interested in studying androids, she at least has to be to take over her father's company, which means we'll have a lot of ammunition and materials to settle at place with all the benefits, since Jericho was put down. Imagine what sources of information she holds."

The silence fell as all of the deviants, present in the room, thought this idea through.

Josh shook his head quietly.
"We're gonna freak the poor girl out. That's cruel, Markus."

"What? I mean, look at her!" North threw her hand at the photo. "Like father like daughter! I'd enjoy every second of her screaming in horror as we break her expensive stuff."
"She hasn't done anything, unlike Kamski." Simon stepped in, supporting Josh.
"This is why we won't be ripping her whole body apart and will just use her to get to Kamski!" Exclaimed North, keeping her tone like she was talking to a little child.

"That will be no use. Imagine how secure her home is, now that our movement went so far." Josh shook his head again, trying to get Markus to understand.

Connor clicked his tongue, resting his hands onto the desk. "Yeah, about that. Josh is right. It'll be hard to get in, this is why we need time to plan it through." Markus lifted his head, to look at detective. "Since she turned nineteen she had been working for her father, yet she became completely independent from him. She bought her own house on the edge of the city. I'd give us time to think within a week, until human forces come up with some sick plan to get the riot down."

Markus stared into his eyes, deciding.

"Capturing anyone is a bad idea, if we want to win over society's affection." Josh tried again, feeling like their leader will decide shortly, not taking too much time.

"Wake up, winning their affection is impossible!" North was desperate to convince Markus, Connor also nodded, agreeing.

"Can't say North's wrong, Markus. I mean, we tried. They still see us as a threat. It's in humanity's nature to be scared of something they can't either understand, nor control. We are both those things, and we are lack of time to keep trying." Detective android rested his arms onto his chest, turning away from their leader to not pressure him with his gaze. Simons sight traveled through Markus, disappointed.

Josh did so as well, sighing, already feeling his defeat.
And he was right.

As couple minutes passed in dusty dark room of an abandoned apartment in silence, Markus finally took the photo of Kamski's daughter and turned to face his friends.

"What do we know about her?"

***

"A straight A+ student at school, went even better in her university years. Studies online, was mentored my her father since age 13, so come was hired by Cyberlife at the age of 19. Kamski did well securing her identity — i still have no idea what is her exact job there." Connor listed, passing around shits of papers and copies of documents.

North took one of them. "I figured she has almost none of social medias which is kinda wired, considering who she is. Just the basics: Instagram and Twitter. She never reveals her working progress, just studying."

Connor listened to her with narrowed eyes, concentrated. "I see. That's unfortunate. Something about where she lives?"

"Nothing much."

"Good thing i am here then." Connor smiled, taking out some photos and building blueprints. "I was lucky to figure that out."

"Enlighten us then." Markus nodded, ready to listen. Simon stepped by his side, leaning in.

"Bought her own house, north from here, almost across the city from her father. The house is built into a cliff, modern design, of course, pretty equipped. Nova works mostly from home. A perfect victim, i'd say, if only she wasn't Kamski's daughter and perfectly educated young woman, capable of creating the best security system possible."

Simon chuckled dryly. "Well, that castle of hers seems to interest you even more in that case, huh, Connor?"

Brunette couldn't hold back a grin, that crawled up his lips. "I've been created for stuff like this. I guess, i'm... excited. Sounds like a nice challenge."

Josh scoffed, amazed by detective's motives, while Markus couldn't hold back a proud chuckle.

"Well then, Con. Let's throw our dice then and see what happens."

[A/N: Ooh, i'm quite excited about this one :D Again, let me know if you like this, and enjoy!]
