In an unspecified Third World Country... Crafty Roukai was mostly satisfied with the way her life had gone so far. She was in her late twenties, naturally pretty, and athletic, but best of all, she worked with a mercenary group called the Hessi. She would have preferred a private military company, as they provided better pay and benefits, but her current situation and contacts only provided her with so many resources. She was still wanted by Demonessian authorities for her role in the 2011 ITC Patin attack, among other reasons, and so she could only be involved in low visibility operations. Even if she was living in what some would consider terrible conditions, it wasn't too bad. During her time with the Apostates, she had discovered she had a talent for destruction and her current line of work allowed her to explore it. The Hessi were enforcers for a local warlord and though she lived in a misogynistic environment, she had earned fear by reputation: she didn't shy away from brutal techniques to quell the local population and she had disemboweled the first man who had tried to take her by force. While she was not in a position of power, she was respected. That wasn't to say she hadn't suffered. Her athletic build had become slimmer since food in the Watari region was scarce, even for the Hessi. News traveled slowly, so she couldn't stay informed on her wanted status, and the equipment she used was nowhere near the standards she had used as Special Tactics. She had acquired a few scars along the way and malaria had nearly killed her the first month in Watari. She now lived in the Hessi compound, which was a collection of six buildings - more accurately a collection of sheds - and smaller huts that also housed Hessi families. The compound was walled with tin and barbed wire and had an armed guard in a tower. Crafty should have been boarded with another mercenary, but after disemboweling the last one she ended up housed with a young pregnant girl named Darli; Crafty didn't know her story since Darli didn't speak English, but she strongly suspected Darli wasn't here willingly. The Hessi compound was approximately ten miles from the nearest town, a goat farming village with no name, and fifteen miles from Warlord Ekard, who lived in a much better guarded compound in an isolated mountain. Tomorrow, Crafty would take the Jeep with a few other Hessi and head up to Ekard's place to replace the guards. She liked it better up there - there was clean water - and she planned to catch Ekard's eye, but she never saw him. |

"Major Davion, I'm not sure what hearsay you are using to make your baseless insinuations, but any information we collect will be gathered through legitimate means," Megumi replied firmly. "The Roukai sisters are assets and liabilities in other concurrent operations and we will need both of them in our custody. Do you understand or do I need to elevate this above you?" |

"All I am asking for is direct access to an information source. I do not see it as that big of a request, given the level of our involvement in the securing of these targets. Once our involvement is complete, they'd be all yours to question and punish within the boundary of law," Erryn replied. "You know I hate involving the government level people, which is why I simply called you. Otherwise, everyone's going to sit around while each side files all the requisite forms for maintaining or gaining custody, meanwhile our primary target is off doing whatever she pleases because we're waiting on paperwork." |

"I will give you three hours," Megumi replied. "Any information you need can be collected within that time span. Anything beyond that I will consider a deliberate attempt to delay Roukai's transfer into our custody for reasons I can easily insinuate." |

Erryn shrugged. "Sounds good. I will pass along a report of our findings with your agents. Still on for next week?" |

"You're back a bit later than I thought and I might have schedule conflicts, but as of right now, yeah. Major Davion." |

"Ma'am," Erryn said with a smirk. He turned to the waiting agents. "It'll be a few more hours, but we'll be passing her along to you then." |

The agents looked a bit displeased with the news, but they accepted it. "Do you have some place for us to wait?" Alex asked. |

Nick nodded. "Definitely, if you'll follow us." Nick led them to a wardroom where they were offered refreshments and a variety of entertainment for their wait. Erryn and Nick left the wardroom and headed back toward the interrogation room. Erryn stayed in the observation room while Nick reentered the room. "So it seems we have a little more time, but not much." |

Topaz had spent the interceding time staring at the walls and considering her situation. Was it possible to escape this room? It would be harder than escaping the restraints, but that would take a while as well and someone could walk in at any moment. It was either get caught trying to escape or willingly go with NDAISE. She strained against the shackles, trying to figure out how to slim her hand enough to slip through the restraints. She knew she could break her thumb, but that was an unfavorable option. She was still stewing, trying to figure out her situation, when the door re-opened and she sat up. "Did you find a lawyer?" she asked hopefully. |

"No, I'm sorry. However apparently a personal friend of the NDAISE director is on the ship and managed to negotiate a few more hours with us before your transfer to their officers. He's asked that I further inquire about your activities and, under the condition of the extended time, anything you might know about your sister." |
