GAMEMAKERS HQ — MORNING
Sloane stands over Chanel's shoulder. In the background, Ruby can be seen giving orders over the shoulders of several younger faces. No matter how often Chanel tries to get in her senior Gamemakers way, she seems to fall short. Chanel can feel Sloane's nail tips digging into the skin of her shoulder, and makes a mental note to wear a sweater tomorrow. Added protection.
SLOANE.
Let's test the creepy one shall we? Hit them with the Macromantulas.
CHANEL.
Why them?
SLOANE.
Well, the little one thinks she likes spiders.
CHANEL.
So?
SLOANE.
So, we ruin them for her.
CHANEL.
...right.
Months into this, it hasn't gotten any easier for the team. Chanel knocks heads with every opportunity, halts progress on work that should've been done weeks ago. She's been kicking sponsor calls under the rug for so long her voice mail box filled up. Her new phone is sitting on her desk in front of her now, only two contacts logged.
The monitor in front of Chanel hums as she activates the module. The training with Lochlan's people on the muttation mechanics infrastructure would've been fascinating if she hadn't been learning the information to weaponize against teenagers. Now she bears the memory with resentment.
Chanel pulls up the opening screen.
CHANEL.
What am I doing here?
SLOANE.
There, (pointing).
The image of the Macromantula gets enlarged, taking up more space on Chanel's screen before Sloane flicks it up onto the center mainframe. It takes on its 3D representation there. A zoom in on the Adepti alliance, and the small pack of Macromantuals scattered about a few large patches of moss in the garden. Sato knows what she's doing from here on, but deliberately pretends otherwise.
CHANEL.
Now what?
SLOANE.
Now, kill them for god's sake.
The Head Gamemaker rolls her eyes, waltzing away to go and whisper about something with Racnoss out of earshot. Chanel shoots her a nasty look before turning back to the screen, pressing buttons she'd rather not.
On screen, she watches the pack of Macromantulas scuttle out, pack tactics kicking in, descending on their prey as one.
