Titan Takedown

Infiltration

I layed Xiuying on the floor and folded a coat for her to use as a pillow. I decided to go to sleep then.

I awoke the next morning and found Xiuying was clutching her head, drinking a mug of steaming, black coffee in the conference room.

"What happened last night?"

"You tried to shag Sorcha last night and Nikolas threw you into the house and you passed out after he yelled at us. You got to watch yourself. Why'd did you even go after her? You have Elijah back at your home. Don't mess it up here."

"She was attractive and I thought if I got her drunk, I could get with her. I don't know if Elijah is right for me. I don't know if I want a woman or a man."

"You got it good with Elijah. Don't make a disastrous choice."

After a few minutes of dead silence, she responded. "I'm not sure if I want a man or woman. Is it possible for me to pursue either one?"

To end this awkward conversations I spoke, "You have to infiltrate the military base. Are you up to that today or is your hangover too much?"

"No. I can do it. I can infiltrate. When do I have to go?"

"Go after we get you prepared. You'll have to have an earpiece, and a small recorder."

"What does all of this stuff do?"

"Oh yeah, you don't know about our tech guru, Léon Theremin. He's able to create anything you ask. As for what the stuff does, the earpiece allows for you to communicate with us and the recorder will record our voices and others nearby. Be sure whisper or else you'll be discovered."

"This is amazing. I'll have to talk to Léon if he can make this."

We attached the recorder with a wire underneath her shirt, it was strictly professional with no pleasure for either party, and she placed the earpiece in her ear.

"Okay. You're ready now. Cloak yourself and wait for opportunity to get in the base. Tell us about everything you see in there."

"Expected." She walked out of the HQ before flying off. Miron and I went to the file cabinet in the research and recon room and pulled out the blueprints to the base. We layed it on the table to chart her progress. After a while, she came in.

"Hello, is this thing working? Motya, can you hear me?"

"We can hear you. Where are you?"

"I'm in a room with many shelves with many books on them."

"She's in the library. Mark it on the map, Miron."

I wrote it down quickly. As Xiuying gave her location, Sokolov marked it on the map with a red dot while I wrote it down on a sheet of paper. Nothing of significance occurred, save for a few until she started to stutter excitedly.

"Calm down and then talk."

"Stalin is here! He is here and his face caterpillar is real."

"Focus less on the mustache and more on the man. Tail him and find out where he's going."

"Of course."

After several minutes of silence, she spoke.

"Stalin is planning to have a mass execution for all his opposition! We are in great danger - oh shit!"

"Come in, Xiuying."

No response again.

"Not again."

I ran to the door after grabbing my pistol to find her opening it with wounds in her wings.

"What happened!?"

"I was detected. Someone ran into me and they saw through my deception and I was getting shot at while I flew away. They will be here soon, Motya. We have to prepare or flee."

"Go back to your home, Xiuying and return when you are healed. Sokolov, get Nikolas and any other of the Alfredsons with any powers while I prepare.
