***meanwhile***
Grim and Akiko were on an ONI pelican, that was still docked in the hangarbay. Grim was in the cockpit, running last minute checks on the pelican's systems. Akiko was lounging in the passenger bay, hovering over 2 open duffel bags brimming with weapons, and empty magazines.
Akiko: No matter how many times I open these duffel bags...It still never ceases to amaze me...
it's like Christmas morning, except instead of a lucky cat...I'm getting guns.
Akiko paused
Akiko: You know...you could make a lot of money on the side if you sold these guns...
Grim: Hmm?
Grim pulled back the parking brake, and prepared the pelican for liftoff.
Akiko: As an agent...you're entitled to free guns, it's like a candy grab bag for you basically.
You could sell some of them on the side...and just say you lost them.
Grim: Nah.
Akiko: Why not? ONI would believe you.
Grim: ONI pays me well enough to not give random weirdos guns.
Akiko: Well, what's wrong with having more money?
Grim: I've got simple tastes...
Just give me a bowl of peanuts to stow an M6C in and I'll sleep anywhere like a baby...
Akiko: You stow an ankle gun in a bowl of peanuts...in the same room that you sleep.
Grim: Yep.
The back of the pelican started to bob up and down, before lifting off.
Akiko: Why?
Grim: Cause.
Akiko: Cause why.
Grim: Because my quarters has the shittiest security system ever!
The bulkhead of the hangarbay opened, and the pelican moved creeped forward slowly, passing through the forcefield. Once the pelican had left the hangarbay, the bulkhead closed again.
Akiko: Why?
Grim: Because Both Grin...and your dad have been able to break in.
Akiko grinned.
Akiko: Why?
Grim: Because Grin is fuckin' crazy....
And your dad wanted me to come with you on this...glorious journey to chase someone who may...or may not be dead.
Akiko: "may or may not be dead"
You thought he was just dead before...
Grim: Well now I'm open to the possibility that he might be alive...
Akiko grinned again
Akiko: Why?
Grim: Cause.
Akiko: Cause why?
Grim: Because...I like to keep an open mind.
Akiko: Why?
Grim: Because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing
Akiko: You're tracking down a terrorist.
Grim: Yeah, based on one lead....And because your dad pointed a gun at my face.
Akiko: What lead?
Grim: I was on a conspiracy theorist forum...skimming through the posts, and I saw one, by a guy who went by "BB"
Akiko: Hmm...what was his conspiracy theory...
Grim was silent, he made an effort to look like he was doing something busy.
Akiko: Eugene.
Grim: Hmm?
Akiko: I said, what was his conspiracy theory?
Grim: Oh....
Umm....
There was a magic bullet...and
...it was forged by illuminati mystics.... to prevent us from learning the truth....
Akiko laughed
Akiko: So if this BB is our guy...we know he's a total nutbar.
Grim: Yep...
