Bishop went rogue, yet somehow Mr. Nobody keeps dragging her back in. According to her, this is the VERY LAST TIME she'll be involved with the Agency. All she has to do is find Project Aries and befriend Han Lue.
How hard could that be?

Bishop was falling asleep at her desk in the teachers' room the next afternoon. As soon as Bishop's head hit the pillow after a long night of hacking and researching Project Aries, her alarm was going off for work. Bishop was dead on her feet – she was used to all-nighters in the past, but the researching and hacking took longer than Bishop expected. She wasn't expecting the computer system that had the details of Aries to be as hard as it was to hack into.
Bishop had to use three different programs before she got access to everything she needed about the project. She found out a lot, more than Mr. Nobody asked for. And he'd get in a few days, making him wait since he pulled out away from her rogue nature for the tenth time since she went rogue.
Bishop had closed her eyes as she rested her arms and head on the desk. She hoped that if she just closed her eyes, it would trick her body into thinking she had slept. Bishop just hoped that the head teacher didn't come in and see her slacking off when she was supposed to be in class. She decided to switch classes with Jay that day. He had a morning appointment with the embassy to extend his visa. Bishop handled the morning English as a second language classes while he handled the afternoon ones.
Bishop counted how many times she yawned during the morning classes – forty-seven times.
Bishop jolted upright when a loud "thud" next to her startled her. "Oh, I'm sorry." Bishop looked to the side, seeing Miura Kiomi standing there with a smile on her face. Bishop knew that smile – she had been caught sleeping on the job. "Did I wake you?" Kiomi was the head teacher at the high school that Bishop taught at. She was strict, not just with the students. Bishop and Jay got the worse side of Kiomi's strictness.
"I couldn't sleep last night." Bishop lied. "A lot on my mind." Despite the high school being multi-cultural and was connected to the military base, Kiomi preferred all the staff to speak Japanese, even though she was fluent in English just as almost everyone else was.
"Some of the students have said you couldn't stop yawning this morning. Fifty times?"
"Forty-seven." Bishop corrected, only to cover her mouth with her hands as another yawn escaped. She didn't know why she was so tired, maybe her brain really couldn't shut off even for a moment. Bishop gave Kiomi a convincing smile.
Kiomi sighed, resting her arm on the edge of the cubicle desk. "I know you don't particularly like coffee, but should I suggest this coffee chocolate?" She pulled out what looked like a gum pack you'd find in the States. However, it was pieces of chocolate that had probably a full cup of coffee in it.
"No, thank you." Bishop would randomly speak English, just to piss Kiomi off. But in this case, she did it to prove a point. The reason Bishop didn't like coffee was because she actually had a coffee intolerance. The few times she had coffee, she had bad reactions to it, including a spike in her anxiety.
