We walked, or more like ran, down the familiar corridor. We were about to make a turn when we were faced with Captain Levi, who was obviously in a hurry.
"There you are, Erwin. Seriously, it's almost impossible to get a hold of you. I wish you would stop making everyone chase you around. Tch, if you two are done playing around like horny teenagers, we have a situation on our hands."
"Again? But we just plugged the gate." I couldn't help but speak up.
"Not that kind of situation. Another titan showed up."
"Another Titan? What do you mean, Levi?"
"Another Titan like Eren."
What the...
"The Titan climbed all the way up to Wall Rose."
The commander turned to me. "Desi, go tell everyone else and get your gear. Me and Levi will meet you there in 15 minutes."
"Yes, Commander!"

When I made it down to the Survey Corps headquarters, some were still celebrating while others were resting. I had been running so fast that I couldn't manage even a single word. My eyes instinctively searched for Jean, and I found him almost immediately.
"Desi, what's wrong?"
"Jean...Jean...It's an emergency."
"An emergency? What happened??"
"Another Titan...Another Titan showed up."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
I finally managed to form a coherent sentence. "Another Titan like Eren showed up, and it climbed on top of Wall Rose."
"Excuse me??"
"We need to gather everyone and prepare ourselves for battle. The Captain and Commander are on their way here."
"You've gotta be kidding me! Let's split up—you go tell the girls, some left to go to bed, and I'll tell the guys."
"Alright."
We notified everyone, and in no time we were all dressed up and wearing our equipment, just like we were always trained to react in an emergency situation. The captain and commander made it down shortly afterwards.
"Alright, listen up. Like you've already been told, a new Titan showed up and started climbing Wall Rose. According to those who witnessed its actions, it's been up there ever since and is probably waiting for us to show up. Whatever is going on, I can assure you it's a trap. And we are going to walk right into it. We can't risk endangering the civilians in Wall Rose, so we don't have any other choice but to go up against the Titan. The Military Police and the Garisson will proceed to escort all citizens, and we have to buy them enough time. I need you all to be very careful, as we still don't know what it's capable of and can expect anything. We need the human inside the Titan alive, so no attempts to kill it. We have to capture the Titan or cut the human out and capture them. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"A titan-capturing mission! Finally!"
We all turned our shocked gazes towards Squad Leader Hanji.
"Umm, Hanji-san, you're drooling." Squad vice-captain Moblit Berner pointed this out to her.
Commander Smith cleared his throat. "We had one big victory today; let's make it two!!"
"Yes, Sir!!"
Before I followed the rest of the Survey Corps, I went back to Commander Smith and handed him a piece of paper.
