"Commander Y/n, I need you to head up to the surface and go north," Andersen said.
"What's up there?" Y/n asked.
"The Nikke who managed to take down Chatterbox... She was spotted in the north."
"Go and see if she knows the whereabouts of Chatterbox," Andersen said.
Y/n had a question, "Chatterbox called her a Pilgrim. What is that?"
"They are Nikkes who live up on the surface. They're incredibly elusive and nearly impossible to track."
"What's the north like?"
"It's a vast frozen land."
Y/n sighed, 'Great... I will need to go shopping before I leave.'
"There's a research base in that area. I will have Shifty send you the coordinates."
Y/n nodded before leaving the room.
~Timeskip~
Y/n met up with the members of his squad as he was wearing a winter coat, comfy pants, boots, and gloves.
"So, we're the only ones assigned this mission?" Rapi asked.
"I prefer it this way. I don't have to watch what I say," Anis said.
Rapi sighed, but she didn't retort to Anis' words.
"A research base up north, huh?" Anis says.
"Yup."
"You know we need a pass to access the base, right?" Anis said.
Y/n blankly stared at Anis before crouching to the ground and burying his face into his hands.
"I need to be told these things ahead of time," Y/n said.
"Non. Non-non non, you don't need to pout."
Y/n looked and saw bright lights. He regretted it as he saw a man strutting over to them. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Anis had a look of horror, "Not him..."
"Voila! Entertainment!" The man did a pose.
"I am the CEO of Tetra Line, the greatest showman in the Ark! Mustang!"
"Allez! Repeat after me! Entertainment!" Mustang cheered.
"Entertainment!" Mustang said.
Y/n was bewildered. Anis wanted to be anywhere else, but Rapi kept her stoic expression here, and Neon was fascinated by this.
"Wow!" Neon was amazed.
"Oh non, Anis, where's your applause?" Mustang asked.
"I was too amazed that I forgot to clap," Anis sarcastically said.
Mustang laughed, "You look well, cherie."
"Do I, though?" Anis questioned.
"Tell me, cherie, when will you return to me?" Mustang asked.
"Um, I can't yet," Anis said.
"Oh... C'est bon. The best things in life are worth waiting for."
Mustang turned to Y/n as the young man stood, "And you... Vous etes Commandant Y/n?"
Y/n deadpanned, "Oui, c'est moi."
"Bravo! Magnifique! Bonne reponse!"
"You are heading toward the research base in the north, no?" Mustang asked.
"What gave it away?"
Mustang takes out a card, "Take this pass."
"Oh... um... thanks."
