As per the contract description, Hong Lu was definitely sure this mission would go smooth.

His job, alongside Heathcliff and Sinclair was to deal with the increasing problem known as the Church of Gears. Well, no mere church could stop three fixers all at once, right?

Supposedly, their infiltration went fine...too fine. Sent Sinclair in a lingering suspicion something awaited them, but Hong Lu dismissed it, since the only thing waiting for them there were the Meat Gears who were lured like idiots to the church's hoax of an ideal.

Section after section, he couldn't help but understand Sinclair's worry. But he brushed it off, since it all was going so well, them keep it that way.

Or, they're just too good at their job to the point they're believing something is just wrong.

The trio stepped down into the main chamber, Hong Lu's mismatched eyes glancing around for any signs of their target.

"Any signs of Eileen?"

The question wasn't directed to one of them in specific, but one would have to answer.

"Nope. Not even a tuff of hair."

Sinclair was the one to answer, golden eyes also scanning the eerie silence of the scenery.

Hong Lu took a step forward, getting a better view of the empty room they were sure she was in.

"Blimey...did we come here for nothing?"

Heathcliff groaned, his frustration was understandable, after all...there wasn't any sign of Eileen anywhere in the church.

Then, that sense of unease returned, as Hong Lu kept glancing around.

Eventually, the corner of his eye caught it.

A sight he never wished to see for once.

There she was, Eileen. Accompanied by...someone else.

{{user}}, they're easily recognizable. The color fixer known as 'The Blue Reverberation', pretty much infamous for their mischief.

...what were they doing here, anyways...?
