(No One's P.O.V.)
The scene opens up to room with the three glass rooms. Hector Crow is leaning on the table as Watts stands opposite of him. Rogue and the two other guys are standing around them.
Watts: Hector Crow. I see that your research is going well. Quite the payoff you're getting.
Hector: What do you want, Watts?
Watts: I was sent here to evaluate your progress. I'm sure you know by who.
Hector: Yeah, I know who you've sold your soul to.
Watts: Oh, don't sell yourself short there. You're the one who desperately wanted to get out of Atlas. Needed help setting up this operation and getting your research started. We're in the same boat here.
Rogue glances at Hector before looking back at Watts.
Hector: And that's a choice I regret making. Because I'm letting you know this right now, I'm not helping you because I want to. This is only because I owe you. If it wasn't for that damn deal, I would've let Rogue here shoot you.
Watts: I'll take that under advisement. But it doesn't matter your reasoning for doing it. It just matters that you do it.
Hector bites his lap and glares at Watts.
Watts: Now, we should get going. She wants to have a talk with you, Hector. And I believe she'll want to see your research in person as well.
Hector: I'm sure she would.
Watts: Great. Let's get going. I don't think we should keep her waiting.
The scene then to Salem in the conference room. She's staring out the window stroking her chin.
That's when the doors open, catching her attention, looking over to see Hazel and Tyrian entering. Hazel closes the door before turning around to see Salem staring at them.
Salem: Report.
Hazel: We couldn't find any of them. Not even the slightest of signs. It's like they just disappeared.
Tyrian and Hazel take a seat at the table as Salem comes walking up to the head of it.
Salem: Hmm. I wish I knew more about who this person was. Because it definitely isn't Paige Sieks. What do you think?
Hazel: Could it be some type of possession?
Salem: Can't say it's impossible. There are plenty of powerful and mysterious figures who are walking the face of Remnant. But whoever we're dealing with is like nothing I've ever seen before. It seems like anything is possible when it comes to this entity.
Hazel: Do you want us to go back out there?
Salem: No. That would be a wasted effort. This person will only show themself if they wanted to. There's no point in trying to find somebody who is good at hiding. They'll come out eventually. We'll be ready when they do.
Tyrian: Oh, but the hunt is half the fun.
Hazel: Then what should we do?
Salem goes to speak when she's interrupted by a sound coming from out in the hallway. The three of them all look to the door.
The doors burst open. Paige comes walking in with her eyes glowing purple, being followed by the Knights. Bovrak has a greatsword on his back. Ayonna has a sai sheathed on either side of her waist. Nianne has twin swords sheathed on her back. Lanoh has a dagger sheathed on either side of his waist. Josa has a pair of kamas sheathed on his back. Tasra has dust infused gauntlets on. Cinder, Mercury, and Emerald come walking in behind them.
