"So, how is the selling going?" Konomomi asked, leaning on the wall.
"Well enough, boss." Saiki replied, passing a hand through his short brown hair, "A tough costumer here and there, but they get a glimpse of Kusumoto and rethink their life choices." He pointed behind his back with his thumb, to the other Diamondback leaning against the corner.
Kusumoto was probably the scarier of the Diamondbacks. With large, bug-like mandibles, a pair of black horns emerging from his red hair, and his height passing the two meters, he was definitely the most physically intimidating, and that was before his Quirk came into play. He had tow sets of arms, and while the smaller one was normal, the one above after the elbow ended in a long pair of blades, hence the name Blade Arms. He just nodded at the comment. He rarely said more than a few words on his own.
"Excellent." She nodded, "Anything to add?"
"Just that a lot of people keep asking for Trigger, and we don't have any. We might make some extra money if we look into it. It sounds like to buy it right now you have to go in different Wards entirely."
Konomomi nodded, "I'll ask Takagi if we can get our hands on some." She turned around and waved, "Keep up the good work, guys."
"Of course, boss." Both said.
She grinned. Might not have been much for now, but they could finally start making money. That more than anything would prove Takoba 1 was their turf.
Results: Income raised to +2, Infamy raised to -28

Tracking the Watchdogs: (IG roll, base success chance: 80%, 2 turns)
Round 1 Roll: 50. Round 2 Roll: 79+7 = 86. Success! Completed! (Average roll: 68)
"Alright, lay it down for me. Who are we dealing with?" Konomomi asked.
Araki laid down on the table three pictures. They were clearly cut off from newspapers, but they were enough to give the Diamondback's Boss an idea, while Konomomi read through the notes she had prepared.
"Well, the good news is that there are no Hero Agencies in our Block. The bad news is that we do have two Hero Agencies in bordering Blocks. Takoba 2 is where Sea Rescue Hero: Selkie is based." She started, tapping the first picture. A muscular man with seal features was smiling at the camera. "He is, of course, a Rescue Hero, primarily works in the sea, so we don't have to worry too much unless we cause some disaster."
Konomomi sighed in relief. That much at least was good news. "What about the other one?"
"In Nuru 10, there is the Agency Buster Hero: Airjet."
"Ugh, Combat Hero." She grimaced, "Guess hoping they were all Rescue or Idol Heroes was hoping too much. Anyone else?"
"We spotted some guy we don't know. HeroFanNetwork only says he might some Underground Hero. I figured I'd ask Mitani and Fukuda since they are Hero nerds, but from the description alone they could make some guesses, not pin down a single person. Either way, he only passed by maybe six times in a month, so he probably wasn't on the usual patrol route. Finally, Light Weapons Hero: Orgue has been seen more regularly, once every three days or so. Her Agency is in southern Gondera, so he probably just changes course once in a while to check the Block." Araki finished reading her notes and looked at Konomomi, expectingly.
"That's four." She sighed in relief, "A low amount, all things considered. I guess Takoba is considered less dangerous for a reason. Are you sure you haven't seen anyone else?"
"In this month those four have been the only ones that have consistently entered the Block, yes. Some other Heroes showed up sometimes, but we kept our eyes open and they never returned again, so we have to assume it was a fluke." She shrugged, "Either way Takoba is a low priority Ward, I don't think we can expect much more."
Konomomi hummed. "Good job Araki, for now we can call it. Keep your eyes open if you spot anyone unusual."
"Of course." Araki said with a smile, leaving the office. Konomomi checked the notes again, looking at the pictures.
"One Rescue Hero, Two Combat Heroes and one Underground Hero." She nodded, "About as good as can be, I suppose."

Round 1 Roll: 51. Round 2 Roll (Advantage applied thanks to Fixit): 17/97. Success! Completed! (Average roll: 74)
Konomomi had to admit, the base had another look now. New beds, including enough bunks they could also sleep all together now, a new desk for her office, and a renovated kitchen could definitely make something look more welcoming. It was still far from the ideal base, but it was definitely better than the hole the Backdrafts called a base.
The best trophy, however, was the one Muramoto was holding now. She stared at the laptop, a relatively new model still in the box. "You mean someone threw away a perfectly new laptop?"
"Still in the box Boss." Muramoto replied, "Mitani says it must have fallen in the ocean at some point. Perhaps someone bought it and was careless. For most people, it would be trash, but maybe you…"
She nodded, opening the box and sliding out the computer and the charging cable. The fact the box hadn't deteriorated to the point of breaking apart was half a miracle by itself, but looking at them she had to hope she now could do the other half of the miracle. With a thought, she activated Fixit.
The plastic, metal and glass composing the two objects started to move. The laptop had already been dried, so she didn't have to worry about that weakness of her Quirk. Instead, she watched as it returned to pristine condition. The two girls glanced at each other, then Muramoto attached the charging cable and Konomomi started the laptop.
It turned on and began to work. The girls gave each other a high five.
With an average roll of 74, you have advanced your Base! The gang's happiness has grown!

"So?" Konomomi asked.
"Everything alright Boss. It seems whoever they were, they noticed how many of us there are and decided to retreat for now." Chiba said. The red-haired woman glanced at the group of five people that were smoking outside the base, chatting with each other, "At least that's my best guess."
"Well, that's reassuring." Konomomi replied.
"Well, the alternative is that they had what they wanted…" Chiba continued, before noticing the look Konomomi gave her, "But I'm sure I'm just worried for nothing." She quickly added.
"Well, that's reassuring…" Konomomi repeated, now with a more sarcastic tone. That was about as far as she could go, for now. Having those people, whoever they were, step back, was already good. At least it would give them more time to prepare.
People have taken notice of the size of your gang. Notoriety raised by to -40!

Well that Help action was pretty useful
