There was a knock at the door
"Come in" A woman spoke from her desk, her accent was thick with the mark of Ruthenia yet soft.
The door opened and closed as the person stopped before the desk.
"You needed me?" Spoke the other woman, her accent more with Emerald Isle's famous tongue.
The woman at the desk, the Blue Star of Kamno. Jackie Black.
A woman of light-skin, long jet-black hair, and iconic bright cobalt blue eyes.
She is more known wearing a black dress with milky blue lining, long fingerless black glove with milky blue details on her left hand and another glove that appears to have been burned and charred on her right, along with similarly detailed boots. Though we can't ignore the black Cat ears on the top of her head and a Black tail just above her waist.
Only twenty-five and yet leading an entire nation.
The woman standing across from her was the mighty High Commander, Becky Lasses.
A woman of massive stature at over 220 cm tall (7'2"), long brown hair falls, and her dark caramel brown eyes sparkling with mischief. Dressed in an olive green jacket and green tie. Worn with matching pants, black boots, and a cloth belt with brass buckles large enough for a cow. It was a surprise she had a uniform to fit the size of her.
"I did" Jackie replied, "mind explaining where you were last night?"
"I do mind." The giant answered.
"Becky, stop hitting bars. I get enough reports of you and your antics every week."
"Ain't my fault guys get handsy when drunk."
"Becky, you're the one getting handsy."
"Oh really?"
"Yes!"
"Guys or girls?"
"O Božuchna!"
Becky laughed at herself as Jackie buried her face in her hands trying to not just give up on her.
"Is that all?" Becky asked
"Yeah. Leave."
With a smug kiss blown Becky left the office leaving Jackie to sigh and her ears drop.
"Nadakučlivy" the cat murmured to herself before turning around and staring out the window to try and clear her mind.
The nation laid before her eyes, raised under her hand, now to just keep it's fire burning.
She stood up and walked to her window before opening it and leaning on it. The city was fairly quiet besides the sounds of distant conversations and birds. A peaceful city.
Only a handful of years ago there stood nothing here but the trees and vegetation. From a small camp near a river to a city with its own military.
All at the hands of the young woman leaning against the window sill.
She enjoyed the breeze before the door opened to yet another woman.
"Cats aren't allowed in the window" The new woman spoke with an accent found far north walking in.
"Oh shut it you shut in."
She shut the window and sat back down at her desk across from the Human Database, Dekota
A woman of light-skin with long Brown hair and matching walnut Brown Eyes. Rarely spotted without her cliché lab coat, brown shirt, blue skirt, and thigh high black stockings. Oh and her glasses, because what smart person doesn't wear them?
Could swear she looked straight out of a Japanese school show. Why am I thinking about Banīgāru now?
Anyway,
"Why are you here Dekota?" Jackie asked raising her ears some
"Well," she replied in her usual dead tone, "for the most part I just wanted to know if you still want the launch date to be in fourteen days.
"Don't tell me there is another complication." the cat said burying her face in her hands
"No. Just asking so I can inform Katherine."
"Oh dziakuj Bohu, yes. We'll launch them in two weeks. Maybe then the complications will at least slow down."
"With your luck? It may just get worse."
"Jinx it and I'm going to tear you apart, go it?"
"Sure."
"What else?"
"Your audience-"
"Don't start with the old talking."
". . . Aroha wants you to come check out something she found."
"Lovely. At least tell me she's not mad at something."
"No, she isn't. Just requested you to come see about a new intelligence report she has."
"Whatever will get me out of this office. When does she want me?"
"Whenever you can arrive."
Up the cat went and towards the door.
"Then come on, let's not keep her waiting."
The two left the office together, down the hall, steps, and out of The Central Office.
The long walk to the agency had started.
