And in the endless pause there came the sound of bees.

“How much longer?” Riza asked, green eyes shooting nervous glances in every direction.

“Nine seconds.” Joyeuse’s reply was polite, if a bit short. It was obvious she was concentrating.

“…I think I hear someone com-” Riza didn’t get to finish.

“No one’s coming, Riz. I’ve been scanning the surroundings for the last seven minutes.” Riza quirked a brow; somehow Joy had managed to make her four-letter name even shorter. Now if she could just harness some of that power into opening the gosh-darned door a little faster…

The honest truth was this: if Riza planned on ever making something worthwhile, she needed the proper tools and materials. Lillian’s secret lab had been a good start. It was an ideal place to map out ideas and get things going, but she needed more. A lot more. Not that she planned on taking over this lab the same way she had the other, of course. No, this place was way too massive and intricate for that. Even Joyeuse’s powerful A.I. wouldn’t be able to spread herself wide enough to cover every one of the tens of thousands of individual systems that Riza had picked up from a cursory scan of the building’s structure. Instead, she was simply going to plant a seed…in a manner of speaking.

It was just a connecting signal, something she could use to control of the heavy machinery this place had to offer. Control it all the way from Lillian’s lab, that is. Riza’s large, black backpack was heavy with her “All-in-One”, as well as a number of tools and data cards that she would be using to make the connection. Suddenly, there was a small and quiet beep. The door to the lab was now open, but Joy didn’t look pleased.

“We’ve only got ten minutes; the system’s entire security protocols are being diverted at unraveling the long string of internal goose-chases I’ve set up. I’ve kept it from raising any red flags though, so we should be fine.” Joy’s holographic form stood with a serious expression, arms akimbo and her feet shoulder’s length apart, looking for a moment like a superhero. In truth, she probably was one.

“Plenty of time.” Riza didn’t bother guessing at how Joyeuse had possibly managed to divert the entire security system of a building large enough to house the entire internet twice. She didn’t need to. The “girl” was good, that’s all there was to it.

Riza entered quickly and quietly, eyeing the various security cameras with a bit of suspicion.

“They’re on a clean loop until time’s up,” Joy assured her, “Nothing to worry about.”


Hiro had been flustered enough about her sneaking into Lillian’s old place…what would happen if he caught her sneaking around in here too? Speaking of which, was there someone waiting for her inside? “Hey Joy, is there anyone already in the building?” Riza asked. When Joy didn’t immediately answer, Riza grew nervous. “…Joy?”

“I only did a quick bio scan and didn’t see anyone, but there is a 12% chance that someone could have stayed hidden if they weren’t in a main section of the facilities. I didn’t have time to do a whole scan and break us in quickly.” The A.I.’s voice was laced with annoyance, and Riza instantly knew it was pride. Joyeuse never did like expressing her limitations.

“It’s fine…we’ll just have to chance it. Let’s get to the Command Center.”
