After hearing the message, Mimi couldn't bring herself to be angry with her new friend. "He's being bullied? That doesn't seem right... who would want to pick on someone like him?" she thought idly as she began putting away the books that she'd knocked down. Tseng arrived just as she was putting the last book on the shelf and said, "Miss Walker, I would advise against touching my personal belongings." She flinched and bowed to the Turk Commander, saying, "I apologize, sir. It will not happen again."

Tseng sighed and sat down at his desk. He booted up his computer and sipped his coffee, assessing it as he would her. "Warm without being too hot, robust flavor without being overpowering, four creamers, two sugars, and stirred until thoroughly combined. I congratulate you on preparing an acceptable cup of coffee," he said in an uninterested tone. He listened to his voicemail messages and scowled slightly at the machine.

"Your assignment today, miss Walker, is to retrieve the completed documents you distributed yesterday. You are to bring them to the president's office on the top floor and then report back to me. I expect this task should take you until I leave for lunch. If you have not returned by then, I will assume that you have deserted your post and will not be returning," said the Wutaian as he took out her file and made some notes in it. "However, if you do return in the allotted time, I will have another assignment for you. You are dismissed. Happy hunting, little one."

She bowed to Tseng and exited the office, feeling safe to use the elevators now that the day had begun and regular employees were beginning to arrive. Tseng, after she had left, picked up his phone and called Kareno.
