[itami walks down the hallway to hikimi's room]
Itami: So this is how it's like walking to their room.
Itami: I didn't believe it was this far away from my office. I usually have my assistant do it for me so I can rush to meetings.
[itami sees hikimi's room]
Itami: Finally I'm here.
[itami knocks on hikimi's door]
Itami: hikimi are you in there?.
Hikimi: Yes, I'm coming.
[hikimi opens the door]
Hikimi: Hello, captain.
[itami smiles]
Itami: todays the day you meet your new team.
[hikimi looks at itami surprised]
Hikimi: oh, I forgot that it was today.
Itami: Also, is Mitsu in there?.
Hikimi: Yes, I thought Suwa told you.
[itami looks at hikimi confused]
Itami: What do you mean?, suwa hasn't told me anything.
Hikimi: ok well, me and mitsu share a room now we decided it would be more efficient.
Itami: oh ok, that would have been good to know sooner.
Hikimi: Sorry, we tried to get Suwa to tell you.
Itami: It's ok, just remember to not tell someone else to tell something for you.
[hikim looks at itami surprised]
Hikimi: oh ok.
[mitsu stumbles out the door]
Mitsu: who are you talking to, hikimi?.
[hikimi looks at mitsu surprised]
Hikimi: What are you doing out of bed?, you're meant to be getting over your hangover.
Mitsu: You were out of the room for a while so I decided to try and find you.
Hikimi: Well I'm just out the door, go back to bed and try to get over your hangover.
Mitsu: ok.
[mitsu stumbles back into the room]
Hikimi: sorry.
[itami smiles]
Itami: It's ok, but you two need to hurry and get ready so we can go introduce ourselves to the new team.
Hikimi: ok, we'll get ready .
Itami: good, meet me in my office once your done.
Hikimi: ok.
[itami walks down the hallway]
[hikimi goes back into her room]
Hikimi: mitsu, we have to get ready.
Mitsu: [sigh] why?.
Hikimi: We have to introduce ourselves to the new team.
Mitsu: [sigh] ok.
Mitsu: Do you think it'll help to take dilation medicine?.
[hikimi smiles]
Hikimi: I'm pretty sure it will since it dilutes your blood alcohol intake.
Mitsu: ok.
[mitsu takes her dilation medicine]
Mitsu: there, now hopefully it will be better in a few minutes.
[after some time mitsu and hikimi get dressed and walk down the hallway]
Mitsu: I wonder what the new team is like?.
Hikimi: I'm not sure, all I know about them is what the captain wrote down on a piece of paper.
[mitsu looks at hikimi surprised]
Mitsu: well what did the paper say?.
Hikimi: Well, we have a sniper and a psychopath.
Mitsu: Is that it?.
Hikimi: no.
Hikimi: We also have an assassin and a spie.
Mitsu: ok, well I think for the first mission we need to get the sniper and you to scout out and see how many strand users there are.
Hikimi: ok, sounds like a plan.
Mitsu: also i think the second mission we should try and get the spie to try and lure yadara to us.
Hikimi: Do you think that would work?.
Mitsu: yes, if we get the spie to go undercover we can get yadara attached and form a bond with the spie and then we can go in and capture him.
Hikimi: ok.
[mitsu and hikimi arrive at itami's office]
Mitsu: Well, we're here.
[mitsu knocks on the door]
Mitsu: captain, it's mitsu we're ready to go meet the new team.
[itami opens the door]
Itami: ok, just give me one second to grab a few papers then we can leave for the airport.
Mitsu: ok.
[itami grabs a stack of papers]
Itami: Well, we're ready to go.
Mitsu: how are we going to get there?.
[itami smiles]
Itami: by using one of the patrol trucks of course.
Mitsu: ok.
[itami,mitsu and hikimi walk down the hallway to the garage]
Hikimi: how many missions will we be on?.
Itami: As many as we need, you do know there are a lot of strand users in the city, right?.
Hikimi: I know it's just everyone you listed on the paper seems like they have killed a lot in their past.
Itami: I know.
Mitsu: So will I be controlling the team's missions?.
Itami: yes, you'll be their captain.
Mitsu: ok, because i already have a few missions i want them to go on.
Itami: ok, and what would that be?.
Mitsu: the first mission i want to get the sniper and hikimi to scout out any strand user hot spots.
Itami: good.
Mitsu: and the second mission will include trying to capture yadara kusake by using emotions.
Itami: good, finally taking responsibility for your other mission.
[hikimi looks at mitsu surprised]
Hikimi: You're working on yadaras mission too?.
[mitsu smiles]
Mitsu: yes, it's kind of a good thing because if not half the team would be killed because people would be sending multiple teams in one by one.
Hikimi: oh, ok.
[itami,mitsu and hikimi arrive at the garage]
Itami: Well it's time to go.
Mitsu: ok.
Itami: It's a good thing I had my assistant get everything ready for us.
Mitsu: yeah.
Itami: Well, everyone get in the truck.
Mitsu: ok.
Hikimi: ok.
[itami, mitsu and hikimi get int the truck and head to the airport]
Itami: The scary thing about your team's missions is that if you make one wrong move you kill a citizen.
[mitsu looks at itami surprised]
Mitsu: what?.
Itami: your missions will be harder that the normal missions.
Mitsu: oh, ok.
Hikimi: I wonder how the new teammates are in person?.
Itami: I'm not sure, I've just talked to their government.
Mitsu: So how old are they because I don't want to work with a bunch of rookies?.
Itami: Well Toby is 34 and Leo is 27.
Mitsu: ok.
Itami: and porthos is 23 and alina is 25.
[mitsu looks at itami surprised]
Mitsu: So they aren't rookies.
Mitsu: You did good this time, captain.
Itami: what is that meant to mean?.
Mitsu: oh, nothing.
[after sometime itami,mitsu and hikimi arrive at the airport]
Itami: Well, we're here.
[itami gets a call from toby]
Toby: Where are you guys?.
Itami: how did you get my number?.
Toby: It doesn't matter, where are you?.

Toby: There you guys are, we didn't think you would show up.
Itami: Well, we're here.
Leo: red, i want to see red!.
Toby: Sorry, I'm the only one who really has sense here.
Mitsu: ego much.
[toby stares at mitsu's body]
Mitsu: My eyes are up here.
[toby smiles]
Toby: Well, how are you doing?.
Mitsu: sorry but I don't talk to people with big ego's.
[toby smiles]
