Lucinda was around the sewers when Athena flew through the tunnel.
She sighed, Athena definitely found something out, she didn’t even
bother to notify her. So much for making a recording that she can’t
even hear. Lucinda turned into a mouse, since they were a
regularity in the sewers and scampered in. She found Athena in a
tunnel. Quietly, Lucinda his in the shadows, Athena was watching,
and Kaori was here, she could kind of see a small light and a girl
on her side.
Lucinda! What are you doing here! Get
out! The worst landing in history had easily alerted the
scientists. She crushed herself against the wall, but there wasn't
a lot of space to hide in a narrow tunnel. Giving up on stealth,
she stepped out, forcing her breathing to calm down and her posture
to relax. "'Ello!"

Lucinda laughed silently to herself, Athena was being stupid, the
scientists would turn her, like they did Kaori. Lucinda quickly
shifted into Olivia (the only human she can turn into.) and walked
in beside Athena. “Hello fellow scientists, the minister wishes
this girl to be taken to him, he wishes to talk to her. Please, if
you would like to… hand her over to us.” Lucinda (as Olivia) said
calmly to the scientists, complete in character.
too late now… don’t worry, I’ll handle
it.” Lucinda walked over without permission and lifted Kaori
up by her arms and dragged her to Athena. You are in government uniform, it’s easy enough,
they won’t realise. Now help me, will you, be sort of rough with
Kaori to stay in character. Lucinda transmitted
Athena sighed slightly, Lucinda really had to jump in. She
preferred doing things silently, leaving no trace, the exactly
opposite of what they were doing right now. She grabbed Kaori,
slightly jostling her.
Kaori woke up, being carried. Looking around, she saw that Athena
and Lucinda-as-Olivia were carrying her outside the sewer. She made
an oomph sound to catch their attention that she was awake.

When they were a fair distance away, completely out of sight and
sound and whatever other detection methods of anyone related to the
government or the scientists, Athena carefully put Kaori down and
then turned on Lucinda. "What do you think you were doing!?" She
was extremely frustrated because she'd tried to erase the memories
of the scientists, but they seemed to have some sort of mental
shield. So now they would surely report all this to the government,
and the government would start searching.
Lucinda shrugged, “don’t blame me for helping… you were not going
to get away safely. Anyways, what was the recording, you literally
flew into the sewers without telling me anything, talk about
Lucinda approved.” Lucinda turned into herself and set Kaori
against a tree. She brought out some juice, Which was just lemon in
water, it’s all they had in the underworld
She looked at them both, then at her hands. She uncurled a fist,
which held a USB with the secret documents of the scientists. "Hey,
guys." she called out, stopping their line of fire for a moment.
"Look at this" she added, and showed them the USB, and explaining
to them about what it held.

"I always get away alive! And here's your Lucinda-approved
recording." She handed the small disc to Lucinda. "Though we should
probably listen to what Kaori has to say first."
"In that case, I'd just not leave then. Not until all the
scientists are out of commission, at least. The USB is useful, we
just need something to display it."
"I'm pretty sure that this has one of the many documents proving
that the prime minister never allowed the laboratory to be open"
Kaori said, as she turned the drive in the light, observing it.
"Maybe our transmitters can project it?" she suggested as she
pulled out her transmitter from her pocket.

"...True" Kaori said. "But someone might find out that she's not
exactly doing the 100% keeping secrets thing and she might be in
some trouble" she added, thinking.

"Olivia said that they were government approved. I'm not surprised
in that case. Here, listen to the recording." She pressed the
button and fast-forwarded to the part.
