"I can feel the fragment, it's right around here," Sekuretsu, the Bringer, said as she moved about the altar of the Mara Congregational Church. She held her hands out, attempting to feel exactly where the piece of coding could have been hidden inside of the holy building.
The other redpills gathered around her, eager to find out if they were right in their assessment of where this bit of coding could have been. However, one redpill sat in the back, her head down, her white hair covering part of her face. But when she arose from the pew, other people finally took notice to her.
Lady Return strutted down the aisle, hi-heeled boots tapping softly on the red carpet, white hair covering her right eye, showing her piercing purple left iris. "Delivery for Sekuretsu courtesy of a friend," she calmly stated, reaching the front of the altar and turning to the left to walk up the steps. She moved fluently and quickly, her purple lips twisted into a sadistic smirk as she rose to meet the Bringer program.
"Um... for me? What is it?" Sekuretsu asked, apparently very confused by what was happening to her.
"A very beautiful and delicate flower. Please take good care of it," Return stated, standing before Sekuretsu. With a bit of a flourish, she reached into her left sleeve and removed a long rose, it's petals a deep color and thorns extremely sharp. How she stored it in her sleeve was beyond most, but she removed it calmly with no pain at all. However, as she gave it to Sekuretsu, the distinct glitter of blood was shimmering off of the petals and stem of the flower. It must have cut her as she removed it.
"Um... why..." Sekuretsu began to say, but Return hushed her by turning around sharply and walking off.
"Good night, my dear," Return chuckled. Suddenly, a shot rang out from the balcony, and a burst of red exploded from Sekuretsu's chest. The bullet from the sniper rifle shot her straight through, piercing her heart and causing the spray of blood. In quick motion, three masked people darted from the balcony and escaped the church without being seen, while Return strutted back down the main aisle, the redpills parting to rush towards Sekuretsu.
"Looks like Phrack isn't getting his glorious resurrection too soon," Return laughed as she reached the back of the church. But a man in a white suit and hat stood right in front of her, blocking her exit in defiance. "Get out of my *CENSORED* way," she sneered to him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Warboy asked, crossing his arms.
"Nowhere you can follow," Return mocked. Suddenly she disappeared from in front of him, but Warboy was faster. He ran right out the doors of the church after her, calling for persuit.

The light from the single lamp in the room burned down onto the wooden table, putting a single spotlight of white light into the otherwise dark and shadowy room. Flowers could faintly be made out around at the edges of the light, all packed into red and white and black bouquets, mostly consisting of roses. Four people sat around the table, their hats pulled closely over their eyes, and a shadow being cast over their faces from the light.
The man at the one end typed away on a laptop, and put a hand over his mouth as he looked at the screen. The woman at the opposite end chuckled and smiled, revealing her red lips in the light.
"What did you find?" she asked. "What did the rose pick up?"
"I don't know what it is," he replied. "It seems to be just a piercing white light... but near the end of the feed a single orb of darkness appears, and slowly begins to envelop the center of the picture. Interesting data, none the less."
"How much did it pull before they got her up?" the woman continued to question.
"They were quick about it. Only 14% was extracted from the corpse. We have to be more cautious with our marks in the future. This wasn't bad, but it was a waste of a bullet in my opinion."
The others in the room nodded their heads, and the woman smirked. "I agree. 14% is truly nothing, but at least it's something. Let's continue with the list. We'll get more from the others."
