Arata POV

A Few Days Later In Lungmen Somewhere On The Streets....

Phew.... It was a long journey back to Lungmen, but I'm glad to be back here again. I'd decided to go ahead since the operators picked to escort me during my time in Lungmen were a bit late due to them just returning from an operation. I couldn't find the time to select operators & that was when Amiya offered to select my chosen operators. After a few minutes of arriving in Lungmen, Amiya messaged to let me know when my chosen operators were arriving. Although it's a shame Ch'en, Hoshiguma, & Swire couldn't make it due to a sudden operation that required their attention. Aside from that, I need to find Penguin Logistics main base of operations & begin my meeting with them. Anyway, let's see....the location of Penguin Logistics main base of operations is-

"HEY! You that Doktah Arata of Rhodes Island or whatever!?" yelled ??? in a booming voice from completely out of nowhere

"H-huh!? Who said that!?" I yelped in a surprised tone of voice as I looked around for the voice calling out to me

"DOWN HERE YA NERVOUS HOODIED DORK!!!" roared ??? again from now below my height

I quickly looked below my feet & spotted a Penguin dressed up with......unique clothing to say the least. Hmmm wait a Penguin.... Is he-

"WOULD YA STOP YOUR GAWKING AND SAY SOMETHING!!!?" roared the Penguin? With a obviously annoyed expression & tone of voice

"Um... are you Penguin Logistics Leader?" I asked with an awkward expression as I looked at the Penguin?

"About time- Wait what!? You don't know who I am?! I'm Emperor! You know....the Biggest & baddest Music Artist Terra has ever known!? Seriously!?" yelled Emperor with a shocked look on his face

"I-i-i'm s-s-sorry!!!! I don't know much about the music industry!!! All I know about you is that you're the leader of Penguin Logistics!!! P-p-please don't get mad at me-" I apologized hastily while bowing my head to Emperor until he cut me off

"Hahahahahaha!!! I'm messing with ya, Doc! Raise your head & come with me back to my face before we draw more attention to myself!" yelled Emperor with happy expression while slapping me on backside

"Uh... okay?" I said with a confused look on face as Emperor led me to a van that pulled up right next to us with Penguin Logistics Logo on the side

When I got inside the Penguin Logistics van, I was met by two girls driving said van. The driver was a female Lupo with beautiful black hair, a black & white jacket with red straps & a name tag with her info, & a cool yet beautiful gaze that gave me an aura of mystery. She turned back to face me & introduced herself.

"Hello, Code name Texas. I'm responsible for driving, moving cargo, and keeping our people safe. Try to get the mission briefings as concise as possible, please." said Texas with cool mysterious expression as she started the van

The female in the passenger seat was Red hair Sankta with glowing halo with similar glowing wings, a similar yet different black & white hoodie to Texas. She turned back to greet with a peace sign & introduced herself.

"Yahoo~ Our slogan is "Long live the Penguin Empire". Are you our client? You can call me Exusiai. I'm nothing like that ice queen. I'm always down for some fun!" said Exusiai with a big smile on her face

After Exusiai introduced herself, Texas flicked her forehead in annoyance as she continued driving the van with Exusiai pouting after said flick

"Exusiai, how many times have I told you to calling me that." said Texas with her cold yet cool expression
