A lower-ranked Skull approached the Flame Ryuujin where she was napping on the fifth floor. "Ms. Kitazawa, we've caught an outsider trying to get into the base. He had Hayate with him all beat up like. He's in the meeting room on the second floor," the member said, rousing her from her light slumber. She stretched and pulled out her phone to glance at the time. "Damn it, only got a little over an hour of shut-eye," she thought to herself as she stood up and stretched.

She motioned for the other Skull to lead the way and said, "Tell me, what's he look like? Any idea who he's with?" As they traversed the building, the member said, "No idea whose he is, but he's got a yellow shirt on and bandanna with a skull on it. Could be a Punisher." Maki paused for a brief moment before scowling. "What the hell is that cop thinking?" she wondered as they approached the meeting room.

Maki grumbled under her breath as she flung open the meeting room doors. "Shut up, the lot of ya! Now, let's see..." she said as she approached Roland. "Well, hey there Bandana Man! I heard you brought one of ours back here. Awful nice since you could've brought him to your place instead." She wasn't about to throw the guy to the wolves since he'd let her go earlier, but she wasn't about to get all chummy with him either.

She stopped a few feet in front of him and crossed her arms in front of her chest. The other Skulls could be seen muttering to one another and exchanging money, making bets on what Maki would do to the man. "Whoop his ass!" someone in the crowd shouted, and Maki shot a fiery glare at the kid. Others around the person stepped away in fear of the Ryuujin's temper, but Maki made no move to physically punish the kid, instead only shouting, "I said shut up, ya brat! Grown-ups are talking, so cram a lighter in it before I put you on scouting duty!"

Lillian looked around the building and saw that she was in an abandoned dorm building. There was a layer of dust on everything, but the graffiti on the walls told her that the building had previously been a tech skull base. "Damn it," she said quietly. She knew that there would be traps all over the old Tech Skull base. They didn't simply leave their hideouts for people to investigate. No, she knew that they would protect any secrets that may still be lurking about.

Actually, she was surprised she'd even made it into the building unharmed... that is, until she saw two corpses in the entryway. They were both Toxic Skulls from the look of them. One was full of holes, and the other had a large, jagged-tipped spear sticking through her.

Lillian looked around to see where the shots may have been fired from and saw a large harpoon gun sticking out of a hole in a counter, and several guns hanging from holes in the ceiling where tiles were missing. Looking down, she saw a laser tripwire not two inches from her left leg.

Backing away from it slowly, she stood at the doorway and took out her cell phone and took several pictures. She exited the building and took several more pictured outside of the building and surrounding area. She saved them all in a file and sent them to one of the Punisher Ryuujin. They would have to investigate the area further later.
