Circuit glanced up at Scythe, then at the boys on the floor, then darted up the staircase. She got there just as Ace was asking what was going on, and she too, would like an answer to that. She went up to the screen, "Fillis, can you tell us what's going on? The Director isn't even here yet."

"I am sorry Agent Circuit, but the Director has not given me any information or orders." The woman's computerized voice replied.

"Thank you, Fillis." Circuit sighed, leaning back against the counter. She hoped they'd gotten a lead on where Sky was. She knew she wasn't the only one on the team that wanted her gone for betraying them. She crossed her arms, pulling out her board and working locks.
 
Scythe sighed, she hoped it was about Sky. She wanted nothing more than to be the one to kill her. Everyone on this team trusted her and then BOOM! She betrayed them all. The director entered and she stood at attention. He wore a Commander's Uniform, his hands clasped behind his back.

"Alpha's." He said curtly. "There has been a break in the search for Agent Ana aka Sky Simmons." He gave Circuit a look when he said Sky's name. "We have received intel that Agent Ana, along with her high-tech Alpha only armour, is working with the rebel fleet on Parios." The Directors voice was commanding and thick. "Agent Circuit, I would like you to run interference, hack into everything those rebels have. Agents Mars and Scythe, I'd like you two to prepare an arsenal you deem fit for this mission. Agents Ace and Sage, you two need to train. Enzyme, I want you to do your bomb creative thing that you do. Your ship leaves next Monday. And since today is Thursday, I suggest you start now." And with that the Director was gone.

Scythe let out a breath after the director left. She turned to her teammates, "You heard the boss, lets go!" She exclaimed. Her face was stone, which was rare occurrence. Sky Simmons dies on Monday.

James holds his hands out towards Circuit, in an attempt to slow her down, somewhat. "Woah, there Circuit. Find out what we're dealing with, what atmosphere, that kind of stuff before you try and do anything. I'd suggest coming in before they know we're coming, and then make it hell for them to get off-world. Don't do anything rash; the last thing we need is to arrive and find them packed up and out. I need information about the atmosphere, local gases, gravity, that way I can put up a decent arsenal, got it Circuit?"

James was pleased, sure, but that didn't mean they had to shove their head through the wall before they were even close to moving out.
 
Ace looked over at Sage and gave him a nod. Any other time, he would have given a witty remark; but this was serious. His mindset switched from looking at Sage as a target, to looking at him as a brother in combat. They trained to make each other better, to make sure that the other was prepared for anything that came at them. "You heard him, we leave Monday." There was no more cockiness in his tone, it was replaced by concentration and determination.
 
"Yeah, yeah! I can get you all that, make me a list of what you need I got it. Hack, hack, hack, thats me." Circuit was speaking and typing fast. Inhuman speeds. She wasn't affected by James telling her to slow down, she wouldn't. No, no, no! She wanted to get through, put in bugs, crash their systems, do everything in her power to get ready for the invasion. Oh what a family reunion it will be! Circuit was doing the thing she always did when concentration. She was ticking. "Tick, tick, tick, tick." she was whispering. Always moving, always typing. Gotta, go, go ,go! Ever since Sky left Circuit had been more on edge. She barely even responded to her real name anymore. Sky's betrayal set something off in Circuit and now she was like this. Had to be moving, ticking, typing, playing.
 
Ace walked over to Circuit and grabbed both of her arms to stop her rapid typing. She was going to lose her mind. He held her arms shoulder width apart and looked her in the eyes. "Circ, calm down. We've got plenty of time and you look like you're going to hurt yourself. Take your time, you got this." He then released her arms and took a step back.
 
Sage listened to the director's words carefully, taking in the details spoken and making a mental plan for himself. As part of the offense team, he's used to not doing anything special like hacking into a network or creating weapons. However that does not mean that he would be excused from his duties. As the unofficial tactician for the team, he would design a plan that would cover all bases and react to any emergency as and when it happen. Sage excels in this role because of his calm nature and his capabilities of remaining cool and calm under any crisis.

'I understand his words, now if there's nothing new, I would like to be excused.' Sage said and intended to resume his training.

He took one glance at circuit and sighed under his breath. Her inability to be calm would cost her dearly sooner or later.
 
James took a deep breath, drawing himself up, and said very forcefully, "Enough."
"We will not win by one of us breaking off the group and doing what she wants, Circuit, because you will probably give away the fact that we know what's going on, and that they will be prepared, which will increase our chances of injury tenfold. We work as a team, and we all think about things before we do it, got it, Circuit? Bugs and spyware can and will be detected if they are trying to stay undetected; wait until we are attacking to disrupt."
 
Circuit was beyond insulted that James didn't trust her to do things secretly. If anyone could go in undetected it was her. She took a deep breath shooting the harshest glare she could manage at James. "No. You listen to me. You do your job and I will do mine. Do not try to tell me how to do my job, ever." she said in the coldest tone Circuit had ever used. This was the end game. She was going to do what she thought would be best for the team. She knew how and what to do. She didn't need him telling her what to do. "Clear?" She asked angrily. It was rhetorical, because after the words had left her mouth she was already at the staircase and heading downstairs to her dorm. It was filled with all the equipment she needed.
 
Aragon was slightly upset that he and Sage had to go in days after everyone else, but they would also be the ones with the highest chance of actually getting to Sky. Everyone else's jobs were to bring down defenses and locate sky, Ace and Sage would get the task of actually confronting her. Aragon wanted more than anything to kill Sky, but he wouldn't let desire get in the way of his mission. There was a task at hand and he was going to do it right.

He went down to the training facility and put on his armor. He also put on a blindfold. His armor allowed him to have heightened senses, but he needed to train all of his senses if he wanted to be the perfect alpha. He stood in the center of the training area and said to Phillis. "Initiate sound training" with those words he could hear turrets come out of the walls at different locations around him. One of the turrets shot a thin needle out of its barrel with almost absolute silence, but Ace could hear it enough to dodge it. Once he concluded his hearing training, he went on to train his sight. His sight training consisted of attacking targets that were almost invisible. The only way to see the targets were slight distortions in the air.
 
Scythe wanted to scream and jump on things but she just shook her head. Already at each others throats. Great. She followed after Circuit, but Circ stopped at the 3rd floor and Scythe continued down to the 2nd. She had to prepare an arsenal, which would be easier if James hadn't upset the person that can get them the most info. She knew Circuit probably wouldn't leave her room for days being so upset. She started tossing weapon parts onto the table trying to develop some kind of stun gun. On that was longer range, so that if it came to it they could capture Sky and use her for information, though that wasn't their job. She wanted one just in case.
 
Sage excused himself from the team after Ace headed out. He did not wish to be a part of the conflict he had no purpose for. It was a waste of time to argue and such time would be better spent on planning tactics and training.

For now, he shall resume his normal virtual stimulation training before resting for the night. However Sage's mind worked even while he sleeps as he processes information on a subconscious level.
 
James could've put a fist through the wall, he was so aggravated. The immaturity of his teammates sometimes were outstanding! We need to work together, not go off and do our own thing, and not bother to stop before getting started to work out a strategy. She can go undetected in most any place; but this is not most any place, this is a place where the possible leader knows exactly what she is going to do, and would have any change in encrypted data covered. We're going to be found out before we even finish getting ready because we wouldn't think out a strategy before going off and training or hacking whatever we want.

Why the hell did they choose me, I'm getting too old to deal with all these hyper young prodigies.

While one could probably guess what he was thinking on his face, he took a deep breath, and went off to his own room, with all the equipment he needed, obviously, and to find out the planet specifications himself.
 
Circuit sat down in her chair rolling across the room to one of her hundreds of screens. She didn't like to admit it, but James was right about spyware and system crashing. It was too risky. But she could get in and move around with detection. She just need some info. Security codes, location, guard duties and shift changes, most vulnerable points, and camera footage, so she could see if Sky was really on base. All of this could happen without being noticed. She typed furiously, moving from screen to screen. She did manage to get all the planet details that Mars and Scythe needed. Downloaded them onto an empty tablet moving to take it down to the second floor.
 
Finishing the training for the day, Sage realized that he needs a copy of the data that Circuit gathered for planning purposes. Stepping out of his armor, he stretched himself and sighed, he'd pretty much reached a standstill with his training. He needs something more to improve himself, perhaps he might be able to invite someone to engage in a training session with him.

With that planned, he headed out to the second floor where he met the rest. 'Circuit, I need a copy of the data you have too.' He said to the woman when he arrived.
 
Scythe thanked Circuit and scrolled through the information. After that she quickly began assembling a weapon that would help them get passed the guards at least. She was the one moving rapidly now, running between bins of discarded gun pieces. She wasn't a heavy weapon specialist but light and easy to use was her whole job.
 
Circuit nodded to Sage, "Give me your holoboard." She held her hand out, feeling the smooth cold metal of the board drop into her hand, she pulled out a small drive and plugging it into the board and quickly entering a complex 14 digit passcode. She unplugged her drive and handed the board back to Sage, "Its all there." and with that she was gone, back to isolate herself in her 'lab'.
 
Sage thanked his teammate for the information and headed out of the room to the cafeteria. He'll plan to finish his meal and do some planning before he retires for the night. As he made his way towards his next destination, he received a call and frowned. It was strange for him to get a call from him this late in time.
 
Scythe began assembling a ray gun type thing. It shot an electric ball that disabled any kind of armour as well as body systems. It is supposed to paralyze everyone it hits and disable them. She of course needed to test it. She lifted the mis-matched weapon. It was mostly black with a bright green handle. Luckily most of the weapons pieces they give her are black because a rainbow gun wasn't really all that threatening. The ammo for her new weapon was more complicated. She combined a shell from a Fusion Coil with the ammo of a Needler as well as half round from an electric charge gun that disabled vehicles.

WIth a smaller pulse of electricity it should disable armour instead of vehicles mixed with the sticky and exploding tendencies of a round from a Needler should extend the amount of time the persons armour is disabled. Plus the fusion coil gives a little knockback to keep them down. She was pretty proud of her creation as she loaded the her rounds into the chamber. They were shorts and glowed pink like the rounds of a Needler but had a small cartridge in the middle that exploded on impact. Sending off the disabling charge and the knockback. Finding a barrel big enough to shoot her rounds was a little tougher but the barrel of an old Fusion Coil was the perfect size. She leaned back against the table, wondering who would be willing to get shot with a test gun.
 
After Ace ended his training session, he retired to his room where he then put away his weapons and armor. He went to a washroom and took a shower before returning to his roomand laying on his bed. Today was full of harsh training and he was rather tired. He couldn't sleep yet though, there was too much flowing through his mind concerning everything that was to come in the next few days.
