[In the Imperial Palace Underground]
We find ourselves in the secret laboratories beneath the Imperial Palace, said to date back to the era when the Imperial Arms were first created. When the Jaegers were founded, Dr. Stylish had obtained permission to access them for his experiments. Since his death at the hands of Night Raid, the facility had been abandoned once again.
Now, with the arrival of Wild Hunt, Dorothea had requested permission from the Minister to take over the laboratory. According to her, she could conduct her experiments much more efficiently there.
At the moment, she was observing a Danger Beast inside a tank, seemingly having undergone several mutations. The alchemist stood with her arms crossed, watching everything apathetically.
Cosmina enters the laboratory, surprised by the various experiments belonging to her teammate scattered around.
Cosmina: Wow, what have you been doing down here, Dorothea?! — She asks as she approaches.
Dorothea: That is my business. — The blonde doesn't even bother turning around to face her.
Cosmina: Rude. — She complains, puffing out her cheeks.
She moves even closer, examining the experimental Danger Beast Dorothea was studying.
Cosmina: Is that for our boss's boss's army?
Dorothea: If you are referring to Drago, no. As I said, this is my business. I need test subjects if I am going to discover immortality.
Cosmina: Wow!
The singer places her hands behind her head, smiling as she imagines something.
Cosmina: Hey, I know our goal is to weaken the Capital's defenses, but wouldn't it be cool if we managed to kill Night Raid and become heroes of the people?
Dorothea: That is up to you. — She says with a disinterested wave of her hand. — For now, our focus should be the Jaegers. They are the main concern at the moment. If they discover that we are the ones behind the dragon attacks, they will not waste any time neutralizing us.
[Meanwhile...]
We return to the hallways, where Atsuko was glaring daggers at Syura while holding him by the collar. Wave and Kurome stood ready to attack the man if he tried anything against their vice-captain.
Atsuko: "Just for giving orders"... You beat Sheila up for that too? Are you going to tell me you killed dozens of people over whims like that?! — She exclaims furiously.
Syura grits his teeth in irritation.
Syura: And what are you going to do about it, b*tch...? Kill me?!
Atsuko: No, but you might wish I would! — She growls, drawing her fist back, ready to cave his face in with a punch.
???: STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!! — A deep voice echoes through the hallways like thunder, causing everyone to freeze.
The Imperial Arms users look toward General Budo, who had just arrived, glaring at everyone with an irritated expression as his boots echoed heavily through the corridor, like thunder announcing a storm.
Budo: What is the meaning of this killing intent, fools? Do you intend to start a disturbance in the palace I protect?! Even you, General Atsuko?!
