Speaking of Sato...
And our second BBeG makes an appearance. Clearly taking a little after her mother in some respects...

Quote:Sato waited in her office until she was sure the catgirl was out of hearing range.________________________________
“Any signals?” she asked the Furby.
“Dah e-tah!” It answered. “Uno Big Lady! Small signal. Uno furby lady! Small signal secret!”
So, Cally was transmitting a signal. And the catgirl too. The catgirls was encrypted. Admittedly, it didn’t have to be encrypted much to confuse the Furby,
“Kah may-lah?” it enquired, it’s expression robotically curious. “Doo-moh?”
It cheered as she embraced it. She was smiling as she placed it back on the desk... It was the only thing that damned Stellvian hadn’t taken from her.
“U-nye-ay-tay-doo?” The furby enquired, concerned.
Yeah, she was. She sat there for far longer than she’d intended, letting herself drift on from regret, through bitterness and on through a malignant hate that burned deep. It brought her mind back to business. Somehow, she doubted Cally would be the type who’d be able to get so much cash within a week.
A courier good enough to evade an OGJ patrol with such a shot-up truck could be useful. Perfect.
Still, that signal was intriguing. She’d noticed the collar around the catgirl’s neck. A feral one? That’d explain the radio signals quite well. Still, it was something worth investigating. She keyed in a few commands into her computer. The projector on top came to life, a holographic screen appearing in mid air beside Naoko.
“Hi!” the image chirrped with a saccharine cheeryness. Pale brown hair, twin straight pigtails and shining round glasses hiding her eyes behind a reflection of the recorder... she still made Sato wince sometimes.
“I have something I want you to check out for me,” she said
“Oh?” the image answered, taking on a deliberately curious expression. “Could it be the newcomers?”
“How...”
“You forget,” the image smiled, “I’m the best.”
Sato sighed. “They’re both broadcasting a radio signal. It is encrypted. I want you to tell me what it is,”
“Shouldn’t be too hard.” answered the image. She seemed mildly insulted by the simplicity of the task.
“And,” Sato added the carrot. “One of them is a feral catgirl. I know you’ve been wanting one....and they will be needing a lot of money very soon.”
She started to twirl her hair between her fingers.
“Ooh!” The image suddenly perked right up. “Where are they?”
“Room number AE-85,” Sato said, trying to look down on the hologram.
The projected screen just drifted a few centimeters higher.
“I’ll make the pet’s owner an offer she can’t refuse.” the hologram responded with a malicious grin “Vivio’s near broken now anyway.”
The holographic screen disappeared before Naoko could get the last word in. She cursed under her breath. She may be annoying to deal with... and downright scary at times.... but once the plan came to fruition, it’d be worth it.
She glanced down at the Furby.
It stared innocently back at her.
“Boo e-day,” It warned.
No, it wasn’t,... but it was fair. It was vengeance. It was her right Gods dammit after having her life ruined by a bunch of arrogant, self righteous... she took a deep breath, shooting that train of thought clear in the head.
She sat at her desk and stared long and hard at her computer monitor. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.... but it’d all be worth it. Just keep convincing yourself it was worth it.
