"Okay." Koishi got up, went around him, and pulled up by the collar with one arm, lifting him out without seemingly any damages. "There ya' go. Now, can you help Mr. Bird? He's a little stiff. I think he needs a chiropractor or somethin'."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Lux couldnt figure out why he was yelling instead of using the comm. Lux quickly checked hers and saw and it was still on private so only a few registered people can talk to her. She switched it over to standard and spoke. "Why didnt you just use the comms instead of yelling?" She asked already knowing the answer. Drake said that it would be another 20 minutes. Apparently he didnt know how fast Lux can actually go.

"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."

When Andrew was finally pulled out he let out a sigh of relief as he quickly dusted himself off. Seemingly forgetting his promise to Koishi he took a look down in the hall he was stuck in... only to find a woman with armor and a gun right there... At least her armor and clothing, and slightly larger size will prevent her from fitting through the hole... at least. Despite that fact, he was downright terrified of the woman in armor.
"AH! ANOTHER ONE!? WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE NOW FINDING ME!? I STILL HAVE A FEW DOZEN HIDEOUTS ALL OVER THE PLACE!" He yelled as he went to shut the metal door to the hole in the ground. However the door was jammed...

Hearing Lux ask why he's yelling. Drake chuckled as he spoke more normally to her. "Because it's more fun that way. Besides it's the only real way you'd pay attention to what I have to say. Let's face it. You already don't like me now do ya? Well let me tell you one little bit of advice. It's not my job to be liked. That's all. I could be liked. That can help out a lot, but I honestly couldn't care less. All I want to do is focus on the job at hand. So how about we speed up quite a bit? That is... if you can." Drake replied as he hit the gas pedal on his vehicle. The vehicle began speeding up somewhat quickly.

"I just found the place ince the fancy light outside kept flashing. It's pretty bright, ya' know?"
Koishi peered into the hole, seeing the woman as Andrew struggled to close the hatch.
"Oh, hi there!" Koishi waved a little, before grabbing the edge of the hatch, and slamming down, the hatch groaned, but gave in due to the sheer force as it hit the frame with a clunking sound.
"Bye there!" Koishi finished, before looking up at Andrew. "Maybe you left a signal or somethin'. So, uh... Mr. Bird's getting antsy."

"This is our guy for what we can guess Kyra, but I don´t think you can pass through that hole" the Ghost spoke matter of factly as he went through it and found a feline male and a female kid "Excuse me, but we need to take this boy to the authoritites" he spoke to Koishi and Andrew "So please stay here while my Guardian gets here" he then went back to the hole to be at the hunter´s eye level "There are two persons, the cat boy in a lab coat has more chances to be the target, but we can also try to deal with the girl."
Kyra nodded at her Ghost and had two ideas on how to get through the hole, the first and more conventional one was to blast the platform above her to make a bigger hole, but that would probably hurt their target or scare it away before she could even finish. The other idea was more interesting and yet more complicated since she needed to make her entrance. That one needed more precision as she needed to use a grenade. The huntress aimed her weapon and threw it to the seal, which was then transformed in 8 child grenades that got stuck in a circle around the seal. Pressing the detonator, the grenades cracked the floor which was then destroyed by Kyra´s fist as she jumped, landing in front of the two people. "Sir, madam" she greeted both of them "I will need to take you to the authorities, would you please follow me and avoid unnecessary violence?" she asked politely.

After being pulled out he just sighed in annoyance at the mention of the flashing light. When Koishi slammed the hatch down he was relieved for the most part, and paid no attention to the ghost except an eye shrug before it went in and back out through the whole before Koishi had slammed it shut.
Andrew turned to Koishi and snatched the bird and looked at it for a few minutes before hearing a loud bang followed by the huntress climbing up through the now larger hole in the ground. This absolutely scared Andrew as he quickly tossed the bird up into the air out of fear, fell back onto his ass, and then proceeded to quickly crawl under the lone desk in his room. Shaking, looking scared out of his mind, and also quite annoyed and angry.
He then proceeded to call out loud 'WHY IS IT NOW THAT I'M FOUND!? I SWEAR IF I GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE I'M GOING TO GET BACK AT THOSE SHITTY ASS 'MECHANICS'!!" He yelled as he cowered under his desk... he then glanced up and noticed the red button on the underside of the desk that was for 'emergencies only'. Seeing it he looked at the others and gave them a grin as he lightly pushed the button.... but nothing happened. He pushed it again and again but nothing happened. It was supposed to inform the 'bodyguards' he hired to come rushing in and open fire while he escapes, but the button was disabled for some reason. This left him looking at the others in the room with nothing more than a blank stare as nervous sweat began to drip down from his face. This was... kinda hilarious seeing this kid who is supposed to be the hacker from the reports, to have everything backfiring on him.

"Mr. Bird!" Koishi barely snatched it out of the air, holding it close, before turning to Kyra.
"Hey, you almost made him hurt Mr. Bird!" she pointed at Kyra accusingly. "Birds are people too, you know!"
"And nuh uh, not going. Mr. Bird needs help from kitty fella." Koishi made a pouty face, arms crossed and cradling the plastic bird, which would likely be uncomfortable if it was an actual creature.

(The inocence of youth) was the first thing that the Guardian thought as she gazed at the girl, she had her job and since the hacker seemed to be cornered, she could let this go "Well then, I will wait for him to help your friend then" she spoke to the green haired girl, her tone was calm and showed sympathy to her. Yet it came back to professionalism as the helmeted huntress looked at the boy "Escaping will make things worse, I actually want to know how you managed to hack into the institution, but I assume it was a walk through the park for how my Ghost managed to also get some intel from their servers too."

Andrew simply looked at the two with a rather annoyed, angry, and rather cautious stare before he sighed in annoyanceand crawled out. He then walked over to Koishi and took the mechanical bird from her hands, after which he walked over to his desk and took a screw driver out. He layd the bird on the table and opened up a small panel covered in feathers on the back as he then took out a few other tools and began working on fixing the bird. As he worked on it he spoke to the Huntress.
"Seriously? You want to know? Gee I'm not sure that you would understand... but I'll at least try to explain it. It's easy. I first found the main network, traced through it until I hit firewalls and password inputs. I then designed a bit of a small, relatively harmless virus that just took out the need of a Password, then worked on getting through the firewall. Developed a program with some data then used that program to get into the deeper files. That's essentially the gist of the simple bit. There was a lot more stuff I needed to do. A lot of very difficult and complex programs and network routing I had to do. Oh and I must say, the data I found out about Excelsior is absolutely Scandalous. I would say what it is I found, but I'm afraid it's 'top secret'. Though I could say one thing about it. The info I do have if revealed to the public can more-or-less change how the general public really views EXCELSIOR. Something I contemplated doing once, but then I figured... What'd be the fun in that?" He said as he finished working on the bird. He screwed the panel back onto it's back and flipped a switch. The bird then turned it's head back and forth like an actual bird, but on a set schedule of once every minute or so. It also flapped it's wings once in a while.
It didn't really have an AI. It was after all designed to just sit there and look like a bird. So once he's done he handed it to Koishi to make her happy. He then sat on his desk and looked at the Huntress.
"Though with you here I can actually bargain with you now... I know a lot of things about Old Citadel, the Bandits, and quite a bit of Nasty stuff about EXCELSIOR that could actually help you out. Hell. I could even probably outpay them if I really wanted to. I could potentially pay you off and not be hunted down anymore... but that'd be way too easy. So. You willing to do a little bargaining? For my freedom? I know I sure as hell am."
