We're not really Doctors. (Shirou x Harem) Arknights x Fate

Chapter 22 -2

=== LUNGMEN ===

Ch'en wasn't officially meant to be here. She didn't have the clearance after getting fired. But that didn't mean there weren't other ways to gain entry.

No, she didn't break in.

She was allowed in.

Perks of friends in higher places. Said place being her former position, and said friend being her former subordinate.

The wall of screens across the former Chief Superintendent showed a map of Lungmen and the surrounding landscape. A few hundred kilometers away, the red blip moving across the blue screen sent out signals as it raced towards Yan's border.

"Why is it sending out signals identifying itself as Chernobog?" Ch'en demanded the closest officer.

"We're not sure ma'am. It was one of the first things it did before it started moving." He answered out of impulse, used to being ordered by Ch'en back when she was the Superintendent of the LGD. Not anymore. It didn't register in his mind that he was responding to someone who wasn't supposed to have clearance. Still, his new boss was standing behind him as well.

"Even after being fired, you still pretty much belong in here..." Swire shot Ch'en a smug look. "Maybe I should have you work under me as my secretary." The same way you did to me once.

Ch'en shot her a glare then looked back at the screen. This was probably her last time being in this position for the foreseeable future. She needed to make the most of the opportunity.

"We had some teams watching Rhodes Island. I need to talk to them." Ch'en toldSwire.

"A moment." Swire pulled out her phone and dug through her new contacts. Her new position opened up a lot of departments that she could tap into. "I haven't actually seen the orders, you'll have to find it yourself." She handed over the phone to the Draco. Ch'en took the device and navigated not to the department head's contact, but straight to the leaders handling the teams.

"Meeting in 10 minutes. I want a summarized report of all your findings." Ch'en ordered the very instant the officer on the other end answered. They didn't even get to answer before she ended the call and moved on to the next team leader.

10 minutes later, Swire and Ch'en were alone in a room with a few other people- surveillance team leaders Ch'en picked for the operation before she was sacked.

The officers looked between the former and current Superintendents and came to the conclusion they were working together despite the announcement that Ch'en Huichieh was no longer a member of the LGD.

"Reports?" Ch'en demanded.

The five team leaders in front of them gave quick rundowns of their investigations. The orders were given out early in the week back when Ch'en attended the meeting between Rhodes Island's leadership and her uncle.

"Your base was attacked?" Ch'en repeated after the officer of D team.

"By Sarkaz, ma'am. They halted our operations and made us track the Fuyuki doctors."

Fuyuki doctors.

Ch'en remembered seeing them arrive with the LGD's target. She tried to arrest the target with them but was rebuffed by Kal'tsit. Ch'en couldn't do anything at the time because most of the LGD's manpower was devoted to protecting Lungmen. She could force some to detain the Chernobog scientist's daughter, but that meant drawing away precious support from other more important roles at the time.
