Omake: Well, She Met Him
As the Undersiders made their way towards Heavy Gear's base, Tattletale filtered out the inane chatter from Regent about asking Tech Priest to make him a new gaming rig, and focused on trying to figure out what this meeting was for. They had begun their operation to topple the Empire, but there shouldn't have been any further work on that front, unless Peter had somehow managed to achieve results that fast.
Is not related to plan.
As always, her power chose to pipe up when she didn't need it. Focusing, she shoved her inner Sherlock down, knowing she'd probably need to bring her A-game for whatever she found at the base.
Soon, they were outside the old warehouse that served as Heavy Gear's headquarters. Outside, they were met by Newt, seemingly acting as a Bouncer.
After the identification process that the Undersiders and Heavy Gear had developed to prevent possible intrusion (at Newt's insistence), they were allowed into the base. As they made their way to the main room, she began hearing sounds that indicated someone aside from the normal inhabitants were in there.
Person is around 3 meters tall, weighs 500 pounds, has centipede like legs.
Shaking her head, she assumed that this was another of Peter's creations. With those dimensions, it was incredibly unlikely that whatever this was was a person.
Rounding the corner, she took in the sight before her. It rapidly became apparent that no, her power had not in fact been given garbage data. There before her was, apparently, Archmagos Belisarius Cawl.
It was a good two hours later that they managed to get away from this creepy cyborg. Her power was going haywire trying to figure out what the deal was with Belisarius Cawl, and she was developing a wicked headache.
All the same, she was grateful for some reason to be talking with Tech Priest instead. At least this would be relatively simple.
"Well, I told you wouldn't like it if he were here," the little shit said.
Leveling the best glare she had at him, she plopped down on the nearest thing she could find to sit on, which happened to be a nice chair. The rest of her team stood around her awkwardly.
Grue, although non-plussed by Cawl, recovered admirably and began questioning what had happened.
AN. admittedly this one is a bit short. There was supposed to be more where Cawl is inspecting them, and Tattletale realizes what Peter meant when he said that she wouldn't like it if Cawl was really here. I'm really struggling with the part where Cawl gets up in their faces and weirds them out with his analysis of them.
