[b][i]He takes a sip of his coffee as he lets out a happy sigh. Turning back to her once more with his cup in his hand.[/i][/b]
"Oh yeah? I'm sure that's a pretty interesting life. Me and Minerva here do our own contact work... although I don't think it's really military based."
[b][i]He pauses as he gives a weird look to himself trying to debate if what he was saying was good or not before shrugging.[/i][/b]
"So what mission was that note for?"
English
-
"Interesting..." she said somewhat interested. "But not a mission, but an alert. We have people undergoing certain... trials, and this is our only communication, little notes in metal boxes." [b]She took a sip of her coffee.[/b] "This is an ADFGVX cipher, almost unsolvable without a key, and I could not seem to find one here."
-
"Uh huh... the old alphabet soup cipher." [b][i]He takes a sip of his coffee pretending to understand what she's talking about. Looking down at the piece of paper and then back to her.[/i][/b] "So your people are doing trials right... did something happen to this one that would warrant the need of a... cipher?" [b][i]He says as Minervas ears perk up, her eyes gazing up at the counter where the paper was before shutting as she laid down on the floor. As if she had an idea of something that could be tried.[/i][/b]
-
"A cipher is necessary when you don't want the wrong people knowing things. Now your dog here seems to have something to say..." [b]She looked down at the dog.[/b]
-
[b][i]A voice enters her mind an eloquent female begins speaking. The wolf looking into her eyes as the voice talks.[/i][/b] "Well spirit, but yes I have something. If your people were going to so much trouble to protect something with a cipher wouldn't the key be hidden somewhere they lived? Frequented something of that nature?" [b][i]The voice in her head now dimmed as Minerva awaited a response. Xeno looking over at her with a chuckle.[/i][/b] "Oh yeah she can do... that."
-
[b]She laughed.[/b] "Don't worry, I already have another voice talking to me a lot." [b]To which a holographic hand came out of her and waved before going back. [/b] "Anyway, that would make sense although they haven't before. Perhaps this one might be more important." [b]She sat for a moment, thinking about what it could be, if there was anything different this time.[/b]
-
"Was there trial for something serious? Or maybe they discovered something they weren't supposed to?" [b][i]He says taking a sip of coffee, Minerva nodding as she looks at the girl. Her yellow eyes gazing over her as if analyzing her subtly.[/i][/b] "It is also possible that they were compromised perhaps? You and your team do missions all the time. I'm sure you have made enemies."
-
"This is one of those trials people wouldn't know about to begin with which is why we use the cipher, so these enemies of ours don't find out to start." [b]She looked back at the note.[/b] "Maybe something on the submarine, I didn't spend much time searching it."
-
"A submarine? There might be places hidden in it that would allow for the key. It could also have been lost at sea if the submarine went well... down." [b][i]Minerva says as her tail kinda sags to the ground. Xeno patting her head as he finishes his coffee standing up.[/i][/b] "We can help you look if you want. I'm not sure what I'm looking for but, I can tell something out of the ordinary." [b][i]He gives a slight smile as Minerva gets up ready to follow in suit.[/i][/b]
-
[b]She finished her coffee as well.[/b] "Then follow me." [b]She led them back into the wilderness and to the tree line at the beach where the submarine was laying. It was a tiny yellow box shaped like a fat torpedo with a small engine inside as well.[/b] "Here it is... not much to see..."
-
[b][i]He runs his fingers over the machine his eyes gazing over it. Minerva entering into it looking around and sniffing around curious. Xeno looking over to her as he shrugs.[/i][/b] "This thing is kinda small how many people would fit in it." [b][i]He pats the metal as Minerva hops out running back over to Xeno. Looking between the two as if curious of the answer.[/i][/b]
-
"It isn't meant to fit people." [b]She said it acting like he should have known that. [/b] "We just run these back and forth through the water." [b]Looking along the outside, the only thing that stood out on it was a small serial number and on the side in black letters:[/b] "From: The Abyss"
-
"From the abyss huh..." [b][i]He looks around the metal knocking on the outside seeing if any parts of it are hallow his eyes looking back to her.[/i][/b] "Is there why place you could hide something in here? Or a black box with its info stored?" [b][i]He leans up against it as he thinks. Minerva sitting down next to him as she gazed up. Trying to think of something as well as she does so.[/i][/b]
-
"No that would sacrifice its sturdiness und- wait, from the abyss?" [b]She went and looked at the label.[/b] "They normally just have the name of... well something you don't know about..."
-
"I'm guessing the name is weird." [b][i]He says following close behind her Minerva waiting at the front looking around. Looking near her as he does a quick look over her before looking away.[/i][/b] "So what's different about from the abyss?" [b][i]He says as he leans up against the torpedo like box again. His hands behind his head as he looks over.[/i][/b]
-
"It's normally more... specific about where it's from." [b]She pulled the note back out and held it open.[/b] "Lets see what happens when we run 'the abyss' through... Cyber, scan this and try deciphering it with that." [b]She sounded like she was talking to herself until the hologram popped back out. It was a full body that looked similar to Cornelia, except light blue and transparent. It scanned the paper and started transcribing it.[/b] "Here we go..."
-
[b][i]He looks over curious now as Minerva moves over. His eyes looking at the hologram as he tries to read out what it says.[/i][/b] "So what does it come out to?" [b][i]He tries to do the puzzle in his head but can't think of anything. Leaning in a bit closer for a better look.[/i][/b]
-
[b]The figure organized the letters into a table and rearranged them. Soon after a couple of seconds, it started translating letters.[/b] "... D... E... S..." [b]Finally after a few moments:[/b] "Descent Completed... "
-
"Descent completed.... so they were successful? Why the need to decrypt it at that point?" [b][i]He shrugs as he taps his foot against the torpedo. A small metal tapping noise occurring, maybe he was bored maybe he wasn't sure how to help. To anyone looking at him though it wasn't very clear.[/i][/b] "So what will you do now?"
-
"I don't know why, but now we wait. That means the trial will be over soon I'm guessing." [b]As he tapped on the sub, it rattled and creaked. It seemed like the thing had been through a lot.[/b]
-
"Do you have any idea what the trials about?" [b][i]He says as he moves over sitting on the ground. His eyes looking up into the sky as if he was planning on waiting a while. He was obviously curious to be sure about what was going on. Minerva laying beside him as she closed her eyes.[/i][/b] "Or does on the triale? Trial taker? Know."
-
"Oh I know, so do the people in it. You don't though, although I'm not sure I should tell you..." [b]She looked at him deciding whether or not to trust him.[/b] "By the way, don't sit around waiting, it'll be at least a couple weeks before we have anymore word about it..."
-
"Is there a place we should go? I can walk you home if you want." [b][i]He says standing up looking around as he stretches a little. Shrugging as he does so his hands going behind his head once more as if it was out of comfort.[/i][/b] "But I'll leave that up to you."
-
[b]She smirked at him.[/b] "Sure, why not?" [b]She started walking, taking one last look at the sub.[/b]
-
[b][i]He followed in suit the breeze causing his hair to flow back and forth. Looking up into the sky for a little bit as he waited for her to show him he way. Minerva playing with her paws a bit while she was waiting.[/i][/b] "Well lead the way I'm ready when you are."
-
"Lets go then." [b]She walked back toward the streets of dojoville again with him and the wolf.[/b]
