Summary

The death of a friend, and the mystery behind it, can drive anyone to rage and hatred. Emotions boil over, insults are spewed, and at some point bullets fly. So it was today.

Background

After an incident left the Shadowhaven down one member - Asura - and the subsequent questions that followed her apparent demise went unanswered, several people were left in anguish. Despite her roughness and blunt attitude, her violence and rudeness at times, Asura was a friend to many. Many were shocked when they heard the news. Some started initial searches, others mourned, others still harassed the members of the party that went into...wherever the hell hole Asura died down with her.

One such member of the final group was Fennec, in disbelief that someone she could finally be honest with who was essentially a walking tank would just fall like that. Given the sketchy nature of the job and the members involved, she was not satisfied with simply sitting back and letting bygones be bygones. And so, she took to contacting Intercession to find some means to learn the information. Talking, then threatening his comrade Lace Monitor saying she would kidnap her for the information, a mass of insults thrown his way. And Intercession, under orders not to share by his handlers and the higher-ranking members of MCT who ordered the original job, barely gave Fennec anything, much less anything that was actually tangible.

This led to...escalations. Insults became more severe, more scathing. And eventually, an address was thrown out.

This was never going to end well.

The Meet

There were preparations that needed to be made before the two of them could meet and try to kill each other. Intercession needed a justification to go shoot a fox streamer, and Fennec needed to ensure her heated insults didn't lead to actual serious issues.

Fennec resorted to an emergency call to Colonel Berger with zero explanation as backup. It would cost her a lot, but it'd at least ensure that should something go wrong she could avoid severe consequences beyond bodily harm. She also ensured she had a getaway vehicle at the location.

Intercession managed to swing an angle with his handler, Ramon Stokes-Young. Rather than just killing Fennec (like he wanted), he would disable and capture her for experimentation. They always needed fresh subjects, and one with a wealth of knowledge and experience would be quite useful.

And, on a personal mission of his own...Intercession had one minor mistake to correct: Khranitel, poor little nun, had only known heartbreak since the news of Asura's disappearance. The cyborg couldn't let the entire situation be leaked but...she deserved to see more of what happened. She deserved the understanding that...Asura was gone. There was nothing they could do.

He stowed a small data chip with edited and censored footage onto a data chip, ready to sneak it across to Fennec should he fail to apprehend her. She needed some kind of answer to her question, however meager.
