[i]A machine following her was plenty enough to raise red flags for her. She did not show concern outwardly, knowing that fear was enough to cost her her life if the machine was out for blood. The greatest concern, however, was that the machine had been sent by Inferno and Sidewinder. Calmly, she turned the next corner, giving the appearance of ignorance to the machine.[/i]

[i]The machine continued to follow, quickening its pace as not to lose her. It was curious, and wanted to know a little bit more of her little faction. She had spent some time observing the camps and such, and was really quite interested in what they might have with them.[/i]

[i]The machine unwittingly had the wrong idea. She was far from being part of the mercenaries which were now on Tatakai. Her armor patterning and weaponry were different, the first clue. The second was that she seemed to actively be avoiding the patrol routes of soldiers, weaving deftly in and out of alleyways and buildings. Her movement demonstrated that she did possess effective skills as far as espionage was concerned. She didn’t draw unnecessary attention to herself, and she didn’t exactly stand out as far as the Dojo was concerned.[/i]

[i]Despite that, there were other reasons for Chondra’s attention to be drawn to the woman. For just over a month ago from now Chondra had documented almost every person that has roamed the Dojo at that time, before any of these weird factions had landed. When they did start landing, she documented each soldier, and everyone to come out of the bases or camps. This woman, however, was not obviously a soldier, nor a documented citizen, which lead her to believe she knew at least something about the factions.[/i]
