Satsuki has long, dark blue tinted hair.

Her eyes are almost a sky blue color.

Satsuki has no facial markings.

S C A R S, B I R T H M A R K S & T A T T O O S
She has many scars from being a hunter. Most of them have come from hunting down demons and things of the like, but there are some from fights that she has had with other hunters. Though in all of those fights, she has come out on top. Satsuki also has the Hunter tattoo, but it's different from the rest, to signify that she is in fact the leader of the Hunters.

G E N E R A L A P P E A R A N C E
Satsuki simply radiates confidence control. Not only in how she looks, but in everything she does. She has a rather angular face and one of the things that people notice first about her, are her large eyebrows. Compared to her sister, Satsuki is rather modest in appearance. She wears comfortable, but formal clothing, and you won't often find her wearing something too feminine.

She has a similar haircut to Aretha, longer hair in the back and a bowl-cut look at the front, with the exception that she also has two long bangs in the front, rather than have all of her bangs cut into a bowl-cut look. She also has two white hair clips to hold the rest of her hair back.

Satsuki's eyes are cold in calculating, and she doesn't hesitate to look someone straight in the eye, whether they be a glancing stranger in the streets or someone she's conversing with. Though most can't help but turn away whenever her eyes land on them.

All of her movements are graceful, and she simply seems professional in everything she does. Her posture is kept straight, her head held high and her eyes never leave their point of focus. This often makes her appear stuffy, though Satsuki doesn't mind that. She prefers to appear to people as someone with zero tolerance, rather than someone they can just step on and do as they please with.

The blazing desert sun beat down on the sand, as an inhuman scream reverberated through the desert and slowly died off as the being it came from crumpled to the ground in a bloody heap. Satsuki grimaced in disgust as she realized that some of the blood had gotten on her face, and she whipped it off with a cloth. "Disgusting", she muttered to herself, sidestepping an attack from a demon that was dealt with quickly by Origin. Aretha was...was...she didn't exactly know where Aretha was. She sighed. Aretha had a knack for going off by herself, once she had even left in the middle of a mission and didn't return to Babylon until a day later. Origin didn't care much for Aretha's antics, but it irritated Satsuki to no end. Her mother had left her in charge of taking care of Aretha, though she sometimes felt that whatever Aretha did was out of her control. "Wow, that was harder than I thought it'd be". Satsuki looked up to see Aretha approaching them, her scythe covered in blood. "And what exactly was harder than you thought it'd be?", she said as she glared at Aretha. In response, Aretha could only stare at Satsuki slack-jawed. "Are you really gonna get on my case!? I went and took out the main demon we came out into the damned desert for! How did I do anything wrong!? I was actually doing something while the two of you were letting the grass grow under your feet! As the two argued, Origin waited for them to finish, simply uninterested.

"Yes, but you weren't suppose to go off by yourself, I've told you countless times already how dangerous that is." Satsuki looked up and saw that the sun was still high in the sky, they still had time to clear out the rest of the demons before they had to return to Babylon. "Come, we still have work to do." Aretha pouted, but obeyed, and Origin followed suit without complaint. They made quick work of the demons they had set out to kill, as they've been boarding on the water's edge of Lake Tigris for some time now, hopefully, it won't be a problem now that they've taken care of it. They were about to get back on the boat to cross Tigris again, Satsuki stopped them. "Aretha, I want you to go to Nox Astra, and Origin, I want you to go with her to make sure she doesn't do anything...too dangerous. I'll message Xiana to let her know you two are coming." This was one order that Aretha was eager to follow, even if Satsuki had no real reason for ordering it, other than getting Aretha out of her hair. She was always so bored in Babylon, and plus it was always fun to play with Xia. "Well come on then Origin, we'll travel to the nearest village and just take the subway there, it'll be faster that way." Origin only shrugged in response. "Fine by me...".

❝Let's go on an adventure!❞

Urara was very pleased at the turn of events, though for some reason Rey-Rey didn't seem like she liked the hug, she struggled and tried to fight against it, but that was fine, Urara could teach her what love and friendship and happiness is. The dog girl must've been so lonely in the desert all by herself, with no one to talk to, so Ura decided that she would be the one to show Rey-Rey joy and companionship! That's what friends did, and that's what Urara wanted to do! When she decided on something, there's no way she'd ever regret it! "It's a hug, Rey-Rey!" Urara said. "It's what you do with someone you like!"

Urara considered doing something she rarely ever did. Her fun powers was definitely an option, and Rey-Rey didn't seem like she liked Ura yet. Was there something was with her? Wasn't she fun? When the dog girl asked how she knew her name, Urara felt like giggling. "You said earlier when I called you a dog that you were Reyna, remember?" Urara said with a happy smile, a bounce of her foot as she kicked against the sand. "You gave Ura your name, so that's why we're friends now!"

When Rey-Rey went to lap up water from the oasis, Urara suddenly had an idea. It might've been a silly idea, a weird idea, but she wanted to say it anyways. After all, she had a home, didn't she? And what if Rey-Rey was lonely here all by herself? Urara smiled at the drinking dog girl, keeping a respectful distance just in case she wasn't used to being a friend yet. "Rey-Rey, if you want, Ura has a place where you can eat and drink as much as you want. And we can go on adventures and explore the world together! There's this one city, White City, it's really big and full of rich people! Urara wants to visit it with you!" Her voice turned somewhat pleading near the end. She really wanted Rey-Rey to accept her as a friend.

Suffice to say, Xia wasn't exactly skilled at cooking, either. She knew not to try too much, but Lux was expecting a big, amazing dish and instead all there was was a few little burnt fish crisps and burnt rice, with some kind of sauce that made the whole thing taste really, really sour. She looked at the bag of scallops she bought from Babylon a few days ago, and placed it back in the fridge, not trusting her cooking abilities enough to be able to make use of them. Xia was sad - she wanted to be useful. She wanted to be able to do something to help improve the lives of everyone around her, and yet she was always so useless. She didn't have any talents, not really. She wasn't really good at anything at all.

”Nata, seriously, don't worry about it, okay?" Lux urged from inside her head. ”It's okay, I'll eat whatever you make me. With enough practice, I know you'll succeed."

That wasn't what Xia really wanted, though. She wanted someone to criticize her, to tell her what she did wrong so she could improve. If everyone just kept saying that she didn't need to be good, then she would never improve, and never be of use to anyone. Xia really didn't want that kind of fate.

”I'll try harder next time, sis." Xia thought, somewhat sad. The food really was a disaster, it was horrible. It made Xia upset that she still never managed to repay Lux for all of the times she saved her, for preventing her from having to marry Charon and leave behind everything she knew. Then Xia got a message from Satsuki from Babylon, something about Origin and Aretha coming to visit? That made Xia happy, really happy! While Lux dealed with White, Xia would be glad to entertain the guests. They were probably on bounty hunting busienss, or maybe Satsuki just wanted some time to think without Aretha being restless, but whatever it was, there was plenty of fun to have in Nox Astra. Xia already had a day planned out.

”I'll be waiting for them!" Xia told Satsuki in an excited tone over her device. ”You can count on me, Satsuki!"

When Lux finally arrived, Xia ran to hug her favorite big sister - her only big sister, really. The two were inseparable, and spent each day always thinking of one another. It was inevitable, really - the two had an ever present telepathic link to each other. Wherever they were, they'd always have someone with them. It was a perfect, unbreakable bond. Not even horribly burnt fish could ruin what they had.

”You'll get there, Xia. Don't push yourself, okay?"

Xia wanted to push herself, but she accepted the head rub from her sister. She always liked receiving them from her, even when they were children, back in the days of Praetora. Xia hoped that forever and always, Xianata would be her primary and top priority. Was that bad? Was it possessive? Maybe, but it was what she felt, and she'd be honest to those feelings. They were, after all, sisters. Xia was happily humming to herself, scheduling times and appointments for various arcades and karaoke places and a nice fancy restaurant while Lux went to make a call to Joshua White.

Reyna was ravenous. The cookie, while delicious, did little to fill her stomach and it growled. "No tummy," she said, patting it in order to hush it. Reyna was no stranger to hunger, on the oasis, she had never had much to eat and yet she never died from starvation. The gnawing was a presence she was used to and she had to eat in limited, small quantities in order to become accustomed to finally having enough food to fill her stomach. "Reyna would very much like fish." She said, biting a scratch on her arm. "Um... where would Master get Reyna fish from?" She was on her feet again, trotting along right beside Urara.

People stared and whispered, it wasn't every day you saw a part human part demon walking on all fours and it certainly was a strange sight. "Mr. Scritches," Reyna looked up at the white haired boy with the red markings on his bed. "Does Mr. Scritches know where Urara could get food?" Reyna stopped to scratch again, wiggling to get off all the water that Xia had nearly drowned her in. "Where is Reyna now?" The girl asked, looking around the city.

Reyna caught a scent, something eerily familiar. Her foot suddenly tapped on the ground excitedly, tail wagging. "Reyna smells something!" And she took off, following the scent. "Reyna will protect Master!" She growled, stopping when she found it. A woman (Satsuki) tall and in a white dress with decorations and eyebrows that were a little intense. She seemed angry almost, but her scent was familiar. Had she perhaps encountered this woman in the dessert? "Reyna knows you." She stopped, sitting in the woman's path, tail curled around her, one ear flopped over in an adorable manner.

Ronan was wandering the halls again and somehow he had ended up back at the window. "I wonder how those people got so small." Ronan mused aloud, noticing a guard attempting to stifle a snicker. He frowned, was something funny? Normally the guards were stone statues and when he turned the guard went back to his position, a statue once more. His hands were in his pockets, there were only so many times one could pace the same hallways. Finally, he ended up back in his room, sitting at the desk, notebook flipped open. The red faded, a calm hue of blue returning. Ronan clicked the fountain pen into open, placing it on the page. His hands were steady, strokes of even pressure scrawling across the page in fluid cursive. There were only two words on the page, written over and over again like some sick mantra.

Kill me.

His eyes turned back to red and he seemed to snap, throwing the pen as far away from him as he could, as though it were hot, as though it were on fire. Words were dangerous, it seemed. Ronan slammed the notebook shut. There was nothing to do now, he was bored. He crawled onto the bed, flopping down on the large mattress. He struggled to take off his pants, kicking them into a corner and rolling himself into the blanket like a burrito. "This is boring," Ronan groaned. He tried to sleep or take any sort of nap but sleep refused to come. "I have to pee," Ronan mumbled, unrolling himself and going to the bathroom. He splashed some water on his face, using the toilet. When Ronan was washing his hands he looked up, taking a step back. His reflection looked back at him, seemingly mad.

"What are you doing?" His voice hissed, the reflection looking as though he wanted to throttle Ronan. Ronan took another step back, alarmed. "Is this what you're resorting to? Hiding inside of yourself. You make me sick you weakling." His hands shook, he gripped the side of the sink. "I am not weak." Ronan growled, "I, I am strong!" He tried to show his reflection, raising his arms and flexing impressive muscles from years of hunting. "See?"

"You've never been strong, if you were, Wesley wouldn't have died. You would've saved Mouse, you would've killed Joshua White."

Ronan's hands tightened on his grip on the sink, he tried to restrain himself. If he got mad, then surely White would get mad too. Ronan wasn't sure how, but somehow he ended up on the floor, grappling with a towel. He threw the towel and it remained still in the corner. "I told you I was strong." He sneered at the inanimate cloth, getting to his feet. Pain suddenly exploded inside his head. Ronan fell to his hands and knees, the heel of his hand pressing into one of his glowing red eyes. "No, I-I'm strong...." his voice faded out and he tried to crawl to the bathroom door. His vision blinked in and out and he fell onto his side, twitching for a moment or two before his body went still.

----------------Reyna wants fish, Satsuki is Ura's horse and Isamu's stitches are Sexy and awesome and smell like fish---------------------


Reyna's ears had both flopped over now, tail wagging as Urara joined her with Mr. Scritches, "Does Ura know stranger?" Reyna asked, circling the girl. She sat back down in Satsuki's path, watching as her Master asked for something, begging in the way only a human could. "Please?" Reyna asked in confusion, deciding to try and help Master although she didn't know what she was on about. Reyna gave her best puppy dog eyes, rolling over so that her stomach was to the sky as though she wanted a belly rub.

Isamu trudged with the group and had been recovering from Ura's cannonballing. Rubbing the back of his neck, a knot was forming, only in times like these did he feel. his age. He blinked and looked around seeing new scenery. Although he had to wonder why it had been walled off in the first place. It just looked like any other lake. Sighing he made his way over to the Exhibitionist and leaned down making gentle circles on her exposed belly. He had to avert his eyes because something about her he really enjoyed.

Reyna hadn't meant to attract Mr. Stitches to her tummy, but the belly rub made her mewl with glee and she wiggled beneath his hand, her tail swishing rapidly. To this the man smiled a genuine smile, a warm one he hadn't felt in ages. No matter, he moved on to approach Ura. He tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, so, this is. . . Babylon right Urara?" He had to bend down to whisper to her. From her horse, Sat-chan, Ura grinned at Stitches, making a peace sign with her fingers. ”Yup! This is Babylon! Scienceworld and seafood palace galore! And home to Sat-chan here with those big eyebrows. Look how cool they are!" She gestured at the eyebrows on her friend and horse's head with a giggle.
The man raised his eyebrows and looked under Ura, sure enough there was indeed a person there. Making a slightly surprised noise he shrugged. He hadn't been paying much attention since that blast over the wall and all that. "It's an honor I suppose. . . Sat-chan?" He said to the horse.

It was weird really, she was ready to head back to Sanctum, and then there three people surrounding her. One of them who she knew, although haven't seen in a while. The other was...what looked like part dog? Though they sure acted like one. The other was one she didn't know at all. Urara had latched onto her back upon seeing her, and Satsuki attempted to shrug her off. "If it was food you wanted, you could've just asked instead of all these silly antics. And please, I'd prefer if you stopped pointing out my eyebrows, they aren't as huge as your making it seem."

Urara hopped off of Sat-chan once it was obvious she didn't seem to really enjoy it at all. Ura was a little bit sad about that - she was the embodiment of funness! Wasn't everyone supposed to like her? She didn't understand how Sat-chan didn't enjoy it but since she was a friend, Ura went back on the ground, with a cheeky smile." This place is so cool! I want a lake!" The child ruler giggled. "That's Rey-Rey! She's my best friend! She then pointed at the man who was rubbing Rey's belly. "And that's Mr. Stitches! He's pretty cool, but his stitches smell." Ura returned her gaze to Satsuki, brimming with friendliness."Thank you for the food! I super duper appreciate it muchses!"

Reyna seemed to pur as Urara rubbed her tummy. She turned over once Ura had rubbed it five times as any more belly rubs would be unacceptable. Reyna looked up at the girl Urara had said was Sat-Chan. "Sat-Chan and Reyna are friends now too?" She asked, looking up at her Master.

Ura stared at the fox - dog girl curiously as she rolled over, figuring that probably she had enough rubs? How about scritches, would that be fine? The child ruler placed her hand on Reyna's head, behind her floppy ears, but didn't start the scritch, just in case she didn't like it or want it. Was there a scritch limit? That would have to be somehting to learn, right? ”Yes!" Urara exclaimed cheerfully. ”Sat-chan and Rey-Rey are friends now, but not as much as Ura and Rey are friends. We're best friends, there's a difference! Ehehe."

Reyna gave an approving nod to the scritches, closing her eyes to savor the feeling of Urara's fingers in her bright pink hair.

As the woman, Satsuki, spoke Isamu made sure to listen well. For he knew New Prae was very weak, while Babylon and them had a friendship now that could easily change. If so he needed to be ready. He walked over to Ura, keeping an eye on the bushy-browed woman. "Urara, was there a purpose in coming to this place other than piggyback rides?" He had to wonder again, if this child-ruler was truly this childlike or if she was simply testing him to see if he was smart enough to see her brilliance that she concealed. He thought perhaps the former.

”We need food!" Urara murmured defensively, not meeting Stitches's gaze. ”...Ehehe. The food here is really good, and once we have enough energy, we can hunt bad guys! That sounds fun, right?" The girl didn't really have any major plan in mind, but she knew there had to be bad guys in the desert somewhere! She thought back to what happened to her home not too long ago, when she first brought Rey-Rey. ”Oooh, actually, we could try to fight slavers! They did stuffses before, y'know? Y'know? Rey and I beat some, but there's definitely still more out there!" Her eyes sparkled with a fury that usually was absent in this absent-minded girl's existence as a whole. And, well, perhaps another, less concscious reason was to affirm the friendship between the cities, but that was too much for Urara to be able to think up on her own.

Urara began explaining her reasoning to Isamu and he was going to interrupt her until she mentioned slavers. His eyes shifted into a much more focused and murderous gleam as he looked over the small girl. "You fought slavers? Where? Where were they? How many? What did they take?" He asked her his voice becoming more urgent as he spoke.

The girl nodded her head, noticing the change in Stitches but not knowing why. Did maybe he lose someone to slavers before? ”Yes! We, um, they were in the desert near that... that statue thing close to one of White City's farm things?" She paused to think. ”Um... there were a bunch! So it's probably a bigger organization thing! Right? We let one get away, though.... and, well..." Ura remembered the fear and terror on the eyes of the victims and shivered slightly, not wanting to ever feel so powerless again. ”They tried to take the kids of my home. To... to sell them or make them do... do things that's, y'know? Dirty stuff." Urara looked away for a second, feeling slightly overwhelmed. Then she sighed, smiling once again. ”Ura and Rey-Rey saved them, though! Rey's such a good girl, isn't she?"

The words the girl spoke only stirred Isamu more inside, amping his already high lust for carnage and blood. It had been awhile and now that slavers had been mentioned, Scythe had begun it's cacophonous whispers again. He turned away from Urara and began pacing a bit, his hands twitching up by his mouth. "W- we need to. . . Kil- go, seek these out and slau- s stop them. We must stop them." He was practically vibrating ready to fight, his hand flew down to the sleek, black baton streapped to his hip.

Urara blinked, confused about Stitches, not really understanding. She then turned her attention to Satsuki, making sure to keep up with the scritches in the meantime. ”Sat-chan, actually! There's somthing more important, but food is good too! Do you, do you have any news on slavers? We can hunt them for you, in return for the food! So please tell us everything you know, Sat-chan!"

Reyna looked up when the scritches suddenly stopped, Urara almost seemed nervous. Was there something wrong? Then the scritches started up again and Reyna forgot all about it, mewling in pleasure as her tail thumped against the ground, the girl looking up at the other three curiously. The mood had become moot, all too quiet. Mr. Scritches seemed to be acting weird, his intense red eyes seeming to bore holes into the girl. Reyna didn't like it, "Mr. Scritches is making Master uncomfortable!" Reyna snapped, canines on full display. She would bite him if she had to, although Reyna didn't think he would taste very good.

In his odd trance that was beginning to take ahold of his senses, Isamu glanced down to see Reyna bearing her fangs, as he had suspected she was half-demon. Clearly not full. Or perhaps she was a baby. Either way. He stood up with no fear and put himself in front of her, his eyes narrowed. "I'd put those away before I hurt you." He said between clenched teeth. He didn't want to hurt her, but if she insisted on presenting a challenge, he knew he wouldn't be able to stop.

Reyna snapped her teeth at him again, ready to leap when the scritching intensified and she suddenly turned into a pile of quivering pleasure, wiggling underneath Urara's hand. She rubbed her head against Ura, eyes closed as she savored the feeling. "Reyna will deal with Mr. Scritches later," she promised, opening one eye.

Isamu shut his eyes as she melted. How childish. Although a part of him was thankful to the spacey ruler, she had calmed the aggitated little Fox with no trouble. Then again the promise of further sparring between him and Reyna was certainly quite appealing to him. He calmed a bit as well, he took some deep breaths and mellowed out,

Urara beamed at her two friends, thinking to herself how wonderful it was that they were playing, getting along so well. ”Urara loves you both!" The child ruler exclaimed. ”The three of us can beat all the bad guys!" She continued the scritches, of course, but she also remembered that Rey-Rey was hungry.

"Reyna loves Master too." She glared at Mr. Stitches from where she sat, a slow smile slipping onto her face as though she were gloating that Urara was scratching her head and not his. This was something only an animal would consider a victory and he probably didn't mind it at all but Reyna considered it a win. She wouldn't let Mr. Scritches take Urara away from her no matter how funny his name may be.

Satsuki payed no mind to them, and while the man who they had called "Mr.Stitches" did seem...odd among their little group, she decided that it wasn't worth anything to look into it. Though, that only held true until they had mentioned slavers. She would've dismissed it as childhood fantasy and ignored it...that's what she should've done. Though the fact that Ura seemed to even be truly disturbed by her finding only prompted her to look further into things. When asked if she knew anything them, she could only furrow her eyebrows in response, which might've appeared intimidating to some, given the size of her brows. "No...in fact I knew nothing of the sort at all." She stood silent for a while, until she finally decided on what her next course of action would be. "Here, I'll personally treat all of you to dinner if you can tell me everything you know about these..slavers. I'll personally look into it myself if that pleases you."

”Oh! Sat-chan, I love you!" Ura let up on the scritches and tackled Satsuki into a hug, far too intimate and friendly for the woman, her grin wide and cheerful. It only lasted a second and upon releasing her, the serious and angry look returned to her eyes as she remembered the incident. So Urara wasted no time in telling Satsuki all about what happened - about how her people were abducted, about the insignia on the slaver's trucks that looked similar to some type of farming tool, about how she and Reyna killed one group, and how the surviving slaver ran in the direction of White City upon escaping Reyna's wrath. ”Ura believes there's something bigger than just one group happening here! Please, Sat-chan, can you help?"

Reyna looked up when the scritching stopped. Master Ura was talking to Sat-Chan and so she waited patiently, tail wrapped around her as she listened to them speak. "Reyna killed them, Master Ura didn't want the arm Reyna gave her though." She shook her head, both ears flopping over. "Does Sat-Chan want to kill slavers too?" She asked, looking up at the female with the large eyebrows.

Aretha let out a sound of relief and happiness whenever the Babylon's clear, blue waters finally came into sight. "Finally! After two days of travel I finally have the chance to sleep in my own bed again~" she ran gleefully towards the water's edge, where there was already one of Satsuki's personal boats there, sent specifically for them whenever they returned to the city enclosed by water. "It took us nearly as long to get here as it took for us to reach Nox Astra, you really need better navigational skills, Origin." It was a harmless joke of course. They both knew Aretha had promised the had the capability of navigating their way back. Even when they were completely loss, she — again — refused anything help that Origin offered her, knowing that Origin had traveled far more than she ever had.

Origin ignored the gibe, only giving Aretha the proper response with her middle finger before they both boarded the boat. While many others entering Babylon would take the ferry ride to the outer shores, where they would no doubt spend their money on the many tourist attractions, Origin and Aretha had a very different destination. They would be taking the many winding, twisting, and connecting canals of Babylon, which was truly the road to any destination, besides walking. Babylon wasn't built on water, not truly. Before the organization known as Hunters found it, it was an old city destroyed in the nuclear war, a relic of the past.

The entire city had been flooded with water. What seems like towering buildings built on supporters are really skyscrapers hundred of meters tall, half submerged in water. The Hunters renewed everything, occasionally strengthening support, and building and renovating everything was left over.

It was one of the reasons Babylon flourished so quickly, they didn't have to start from scratch like so many other cities, or have to deal with demons fighting for power over everything. They already had the base set out for them, they only raised it up from the ruins and built outwards onto Lake Tigris. Now they had a highly defensible city, almost like a citadel on top of the hill. Any enemies are seen from miles away trying to cross the lake, and they are quickly dealt with either by water turrets, or by army forces on boats, never has there been an army that has reached the shores of Babylon.

These were the very "roads" Origin and Aretha now navigated, before they reached the towering, silver structure that was Sanctum, which stuck out like a sore thumb among the colorful and vibrant buildings of the rest of the city. They docked their boat, and stepped onto the porcelain white tiles inside of Sanctum. While the outside of the building wasn't colorful, the inside surely was, possibly more so than the rest of the city. While the tiles on the ground where clean, almost unnaturally so, the walls and the ceiling were painted in stunning murals, while a crystal chandelier glowed with lights of all colors, making the murals on the wall all the more astonishing.

But they were not here to gawk at something they have seen many times, instead, they headed directly for the elevator, their final destination being Satsuki's office. It was almost as stunning as the entrance, though it had a much more reserved feel to it than the rest of the place. However, this evening that feeling had been smothered and killed, and was replaced with a much more...unsavory atmosphere. The air was still and quiet, enough that Aretha could swear she heard her own blood coursing through her veins, and the source of that quietness was Satsuki, glowering in her desk, a tea split on the usually-spotless floor, and the shattered remains of a tea cup.

Neither of them made a word, in fact Satsuki was the first to say anything. "Origin, a couple of your sleeper agents had witnessed a...mauling to say the least. Three people were killed, if I remember correctly? Go collect as much information about what happened and find out who did it, bring them here privately. Aretha, another sleeper agent also witnessed someone was shot with what seemed to be a tranquilizer dart near the outer ports. Bring the afflicted person back here as well, and be quick about it. We'll question them it is in the morning after they awake and attempt to find out who could've shot the dart at them."

There weren't any complaints from Aretha, nor from Origin, they knew better than to do that when Satsuki was in her current state. "I won't have such barbaric behavior in my city, and be sure to keep these..."arrests" quiet. I don't want to cause any panic among the citizens, even more so that I'm told someone from White City has arrived." Her tone of voice never wavered, and she simply dismissed both of them with a careless wave of her hand, both of them immediately following the order they were given, Origin going to discuss with her agents the events of the murders, and Aretha heading to the outer ports to capture whoever had been tranquilized, hopefully before anyone else got to them.
