When Iako woke light streamed through her curtains. This meant it was either morning or noon, no telling until she actually got up.

She trudged to her bathroom and looked at herself. She was a mess, still in last nights clothes, hair completely undone and the bags under her eyes didn't help. She started at herself while brushed her teeth and hair, then at her cybernetics. At least she could hide them, but then, she realised she had been there for too long and went through to the kitchen.

"Hello Hyro."
"Hey, you're up early."
"Am I? What time is it even?"
"9:34 ish, why?"
"That really is early."
Iako eyed the remote and switched the tv on to the news.
"Last night at Stardew Club, a woman was brutally murdered, we do not have many details, only that the muderess may have "forbidden properties", if you have any information please con-" Iako turned it off.
"Huh, strange..."
"What?"
"They don't report White Capital deaths, nor do they mention anything about the murder themselves, and the murderess thing, they don't if they have a woman killer on their hands."
"Shit."
"Someone must have made a guess, you're too careful."
"Nobody seen my "forbidden properties" Iako said sarcastically.
"Wait-"
"Don't even say it."
"He must-"
"Well now we're banking everything on him, hopefully he's as good as you say."
"I have to lay low, don't I?"
"Seems so."
"Fuck."
"Well I've got stuff to do, talk to me whenever you need." That was Hyros way of saying that the conversation was over.
"Great." Iako thought to herself, just wonderful. She was going to stay indoors for god knows how long. Last time it was a whole month, it could be a whole year this time! She couldn't handle that.

Iako, back in her room opened the window and looked around. If she was going to have to be in here for a while, it should be clean. Clothes and rubbish were spread everywhere.

After about ten minutes of that, she heard a knock at here door. Hyro.
"Welcome." She gestured to a clean space on the bed.
"I have been thinking, if the Randy is them, I don't think we are gonna be here for very much longer."
"What?"
"Well I mean if he really is our spy-"
"You don't mean-"
"I do, I think it's time."
"Time to clean, then."

It took the an hour fully, to clean the whole apartment, and after they were looking over their plans.
"So do you-l"
"Too dangerous-"
"This?"
"Yeah."
"Then we are done."
"Thank god."
"And it's set up."
A sharp knock interrupted them.
"That's them, battle stations."
