Elysion infiltration

"You know a casual walk around the Ark like this isn't necessarily casual if you're constantly staring at me." Pixy said to his probations officer that followed behind him closely "You asked for a walk." D responded coldly "Like I have a leash on me? I'm not a dog y'know" Pixy remarked as they a pass by a busy street as three trucks are lined up together with cargo containers emblemed with the Elysion logo 

"While we're on this 'casual' walk I have a question. What are your thoughts on our home? Heh sorry not the Ark but what once you used to call home." Pixy asked D "I haven't been on the surface unless instructed otherwise." D answered as Pixy sighed "No not like that. Forget orders or the government for a moment, what are your thoughts on what I call home? Is it desolate and waste? Is it beautiful and cruel? Is it a abandoned hope?" Pixy asked carefully waiting for an answer

"..." She remained quiet at such a question yet it was so simple. Other Nikke's would have answered right on the spot due to their experience on the surface but her she was made to observe and execute those who were deemed dangerous by the government and given the judgement to kill. To kill... was he perhaps testing her free will? "If a question like this has you stumped then you haven't found an answer I assume? It's fine usually answers to a question like mine has always been in front of you this entire time it's just that you haven't come to realize it."

Pixy said with a dead look in his eye's snapping D from her thoughts as they continued to walk "If you can't answer that question how about something easier-" D's phone rang before Pixy could ask her another question

"Hello? Commander? Elysion... I see I'm with him right now-" D had her phone snatched from her hand by Pixy "I'll take that thank you." Pixy smiled mischievously "Hey bud! Oh D? I yoinked her phone out of her hand" Pixy answered the commander with a smug smile on his face as he dodged D's attempts at getting her phone back "Alright on it bud! Tell Rapi not to make anything I'll bring some food over from a local restaurant, yep I'll tell her seeya bud!" Pixy ended the phone call and tossed D her phone back "Looks like we're headed to Elysion headquarters. Can't wait to see all the juicy secrets within that building" Pixy said with a smug smile on his face

D glared at him causing him to laugh instead of fearing her like most others would "Oh cool off lady I'm just messing around. An old friend of mine would've said the same thing" Pixy said as D sighed and roughly grabbing his hand and immediately tightened her grip as she led him towards Elysion headquarters with a poker face but mentally she was aggravated "Hey easy on the wrist!" Pixy complained

"Nyx... oi Nyx!" Ish shouted at her squad lead "What the hell could she be thinking about?" Ish asked as Dove shrugged "I don't know maybe boss?" Dove guessed as Daschund entered their dorm room wiping the sweat from her brows "Phew... those guy's at Eden sure don't hold back" Daschund said "Pilgrims will be pilgrims" Dove said nonchalantly as her eyes snapped to the edge of the TV screen before pulling back the flight stick doing a post stall maneuver "God damn Dove!" Ish complained about being shot down "None can beat the Ace Combat Master" She declared with a confident look on her face "Tch only if you could land your shots with that weird ass mobile suit you use" Ish said 

"Hey Daschund can you pass me my water bottle?" Dove asked as Daschund nodded and walked by Nyx "Nyx what're you worrying about? Relax we're on stand by" Ish said as Nyx shook her head "I can't. What if the boss is in trouble?" Nyx asked causing the three to sigh "We told ya everything will be fine. Sure he hasn't piloted in a while after the Belkan war but he shouldn't have trouble getting back into it when push comes to shove" Ish said as Dove shot her down once again
