Alice Assassin (Curse & Quanta Book 4)
Contents:
The local police will also surely come, and they will get detained for questioning. DATA will allow that in order to maintain good relations with local law enforcers. It might get complicated for them because Tuman and Sukola and probably a few more of them are listed in police files as suspected secessionists. Oisa, Bodhi, and Alwana did the same. Lili strode up into the confused students midst.
Now just sit down and stay calm. In five minutes the Wings were back.

They flew off with eight more students. Lili talked with a green haired officer who had come running from the DATA ship. She motioned Lili aside. It looks to me like a vectored explosive, not an ordinary IED. If we were not engaged in battle, we were required to study all the fields of combat all the time. I probably have more finger tip knowledge of these things than you, Lili. If I remember correctly, when Buak bombs went off, they left behind parts that had data about the year of their manufacture directly on their ventral side. Lili repeated to them what Ihap had just said.
After a few seconds, she hung up. Engraved on it was the number She grabbed both Lili and Ihap tightly and flew. The other Wings took the rest of the students, including Tuman and Sukola, and Walay. DATA officers from the ship they had landed in were already cordoning the area. The paramedics and police arrived a few minutes later. The Wings flew straight into the upper floor of the Tower Clinic through a side entrance usually used for eletrains.
Aya turned to the Veterans and Lili. Lili was busy texting in her tabcom all the way up. The rest of the Veterans and Elam were there. They were listening to a TV broadcaster speaking in Alogostani in a wide screen monitor. Preliminary reports indicate that a hundred passengers debarking from a passenger ship have died, and several Buhi Port personnel wounded. Who is responsible for this dastardly attack?

In a cottage in Maryland, an assassin is coming home. In a yard outside a large white house, a little girl is following a white rabbit down a hole and into a land of.
Its Eastern Islands chapters have been particularly and virulently active. After that, they attacked a radio station in Amihan City, where five children died. Then that attack in Amihan Port. Somehow they managed to dig up one of the abandoned WW3 bombs, a huge vectored Buak explosive. They placed the bomb in a cargo container. Then one of their members paid a shipping lines company to have it shipped to the Mainland. The company in good faith transported the container into Buhi Port.
One of their assassins waited for a group of disembarking passengers to arrive and then detonated the bomb by remote control. Now back to regular news. Latest gossip on a young starlet.. Did you know about this TV report? I composed it myself and texted it to Lieutenant Hambal. He simply repeated the gist of my message. Around 30 minutes ago, he had requested our Ambassador to the WCN to protest the incident, and she agreed.
Thanks to Ihap I know that the bomb was vintage WW3. The rest of the avatars followed suit. Bodhi chuckled and then raised her hand. The senior Alogostani Maestros are dead and caput. I have no doubt that he will now take over the leadership of the Order of the Autumn Sea, or Seal new graduates loyal to him. Masterless avatars usually follow the most senior of their Order who is still alive, and I expect that is now Kusgan for the Autumn Sea. I have known him to have been a manipulator, ever since he maneuvered me into joining DATA as a child.
But then look at the bright side. Kusgan has always been known to deliver on his promises to his allies. Does anyone remember what Kusgan promised to us of the Sun and Sky? Shimmery blackish blue hair flowed down her shoulder like dusk down the sea. She spoke up in a strong authoritative voice. I know where this conversation is going. Lili is Compelled not to murder Maestros, but she could well have set them up, for another person to target.
Before anyone asks Lili if she collaborated on the murder of a hundred Maestros, let me say that I would like to believe that she did not, in any case the result is favorable for our House. Lili put on a poker face. The avatars seemed to go into freeze mode. She looked at Elam gently. Personally I would like to believe that Lili did not collaborate on the murder of a hundred Maestros, in any case the result is favorable for our House.
All the Veteran avatars present were doing their 6 to 7 morning exercises in the gym, except for Ihap, who was reading a softbound book. Lili joined the avatars pulling weights, but Elam decided to observe. The students looked all fine except for minor abrasions. He was doing pull ups. Latissimus dorsi muscles like corded steel rippled lengthwise on his upper back. Our muscles, being made from dark quanta, are several times more efficient than humans, and we need to exercise less in order to tone and hypertrophy them. If your muscles are more efficient, then you should grow fat more easily than humans, since more efficient means less energy spent for any action.
We have a way around that, a kind of cheat. Have you heard of brown fat? Human babies use it to keep themselves warm, while consuming calories. Avatars can control most of their physiology voluntarily. So if an avatar wishes to dispose of extra calories, she simply turns on her brown fatty tissues to burn it. For instance you could dunk me in the sea outside the Shield for an hour. I would simply slow down my heart and over-all metabolism like a hibernating mammal, and live on the oxygen from the myoglobin in my muscles.
I know Aya just came in with us. I was the last avatar to see him in the Shield before he got kidnapped, and it was right before my eyes. Moreover, with our assets frozen, as our Household accountant, I worry every hour of the day, thinking of how to get back control of our back accounts. My purpose for existence in this reoccurrence is gone.
Alice Assassin
I just read the old accounting books of the Household, trying to find ways to save on our expenses if we ever get back into a proper functional Household again. This here is the oldest one; it reoccurred with us and the Shield 40 years ago. I had a secondary Form as an infiltrator Succubus, but that Form was always linked to combat infiltration missions. I have no more purpose in this world. Tuman was looking at her quizzically. I could well be programmed to act and answer as if I were depressed and worried, and respond with an affirmative if asked if I were so, but in truth not really feel it.
You behave like one. How come the other avatars move like robots? We have a human mode. See what happens when that wall clock turns 7am. Tuman looked at the clock. At once, all the avatars stopped exercising. Bantay grinned at the students. You should try it. Now time to shower. Minister Kusgan is due to arrive at around 8: Chef Luto is already preparing your meals. Just ask any avatar you see to guide you; the Cleaners, Mechanics, Rowers, Waiters have all been instructed to tour you around as before.
Father designated 6 to 7 am as Veteran exercise period, and instructed us, except Wings who already expend too much energy flying about, to work out at least three times a week. As avatars, we tend to follow his words to the letter, not noticing that it would sometimes look weird to a human.
We have two serious problems. We still do not know how to stabilize it. If there is a small chance that the message will help us preserve our Seal, then we must retrieve that USB drive. It was stolen by an organized group of Dark Kindred. Thus, as Bodhi opined, we have to scope out their secret societies. Tahum, Tukib, and Pana have already volunteered. They did well in the last mission. The Wishing Coin Jul 16, Caryatid Jul 04, Provide feedback about this page. There's a problem loading this menu right now.

The collection of laws was deposited in the temple library and forgotten until BCE when major temple renovations re-discovered it. That's what Emrald really teaches - tactical chess intuition.
