Danni strode easily into Ialo's room, sliding the copy of his key and the paper that held his security codes back in her pocket.
She spotted Athena circling the bed and grinned. "Hey, I've been looking for you. And you forgot to black out the security cameras in here. Just what we need is to give him physical proof that we actually come in here." She said, and spotted a tin glinting on the desk across the room that she knew hadn't been there before.
"What's this?" She asked, and picked it up, spotting the body icing inside. "Chocolate. Very nice choice." She swiped a finger through it, helped herself.

Athena glanced up from her mini-mission. "Huh? Crap! I knew I was forgetting something! Now he'll know that I found these," she complained a bit, holding her hands up. "...I hope I didn't get them all sticky." She didn't think she had. She'd licked and wiped her fingers thoroughly before searching the desk. "We'll have to get the cameras before he can, then. Destroy the evidence!" She held a finger in the air, making a determined face.

Danni glanced at the gloves, blinked. "Cool. What are those, metal?" She asked, tapping one as she set down the body icing.
She grinned, holding up a ring of keys. "I finally got my hands on the key to his security office. And..." She reached into her back pocket, pulled out a plastic baggie that held a thin piece of flimsy plastic that had a faint imprint on it.
"The fingerprint for that stinking scanner he put in." She frowned in annoyance, remembering how they'd been unable to get past that before.
"But first..." Her eyes latched onto the gloves. "Let me try those on. They look cool."

Athena shrugged. "Dunno what they're made of. It's, like, seriously weird, though." She pulled the gloves off and handed them to Danni. "Kinda trippy." Some part of her wondered what Danni would see, and the territorial side of her silently hoped she'd get them back soon. She got first dibs, right? Y'know, since she'd found them and all.
"But yay! You got the stuff! Let's head there soon, okay?" Athena usually was more for the unconventional methods of getting in... but the security office even had protection against those. So the vents were a no-no, there were no windows, and she couldn't just slip through the walls.

BoomXXIV He scratched the back of his head, clearly disconcerted by the healer's newest proclamation. "So, if I can't find this place, and you can't either..."Resorting to drastic measures, he removed a small capsule from his pocket. Bright green, he crushed it in his fingers and threw it onto the ground as flames of the same color began to spew from the cracks. With a sudden BANG, a fourth person stood amongst them. Clearly he was not an Olympian simply by appearance, he wore a dark green jacket over his right shoulder, the bulk of the coat blowing around behind him. Some strange helmet sat atop his head, covered in scopes and different arrays of imaging devices.
In an instant he was behind Ophiuchus, his 8" combat knife poised at his throat."Hey! Did I tell you to kill him?""Well...no..." "Then stop assuming s**t, god, everytime...""But...you summoned me, so I..." "Just shut up, you're making me look like a fool." A bit pale in the face (he always got nervous when someone went for his neck, even if he was immortal.) Ophiuchus pushed the blade away gently, and scrambled away several feet.
"... May I assume he's a tracker?"

Just then, somebody came up behind Danni and Athena, a warm hand on each of their shoulders. “I’m so glad we installed that silent alarm,” she said, smiling, her artificial eyes cold and lifeless, a telescopic lens within them zooming in and out. “Now you need to take your things and go. Master isn’t coming back. Zero and I must clean up in here. You won’t be allowed in here again – not that you were before.”
Behind her, there was a robot. It looked rather like a cross between a forklift and a Mars rover, sans solar panels and with wheels that were much more carpet and flooring friendly. It was painted black or dark gray, with silver accents, and a large green lens as its optics. It drove past the girls, and parked itself in the middle of the room. Seven walked over to Ialo’s closet. It opened for her automatically, no security required. She reached in the back, and pulled out several flattened moving boxes.
While Zero stared up at the students, Seven was folding the boxes into shape, and then packing up all of Ialo’s clothes.
“Go,” Zero said in a synthesized voice. “You don’t want to be here.”

"Hold it." Danni's hand shot out, gripping Seven's wrist as she began to pack up the boxes.
"What do you mean he's not coming back? Where the hell is he?" She demanded, and if there was the slightest trace of fear in her eyes, there was nothing but cold steel in her voice.

Athena stared at the machines in surprise--when had they entered? "...Ialo's gone?" she asked, clearly out of the loop. The gloves were still held in her hands, albeit rather loosely. She shoved them into a pocket. "Where? Since when?"

Seven looked at Danni for a few moments, before easily wrenching her wrist back and going back to packing. "I mean," she said, "He's gone. As in, forcibly removed from the grounds." She filled up one box, folded the flas shut, and set it on top of Zero. Sweet useful little Zero, if a bit of a party-pooper.
"As in," she said again, "Arrested." She went for another box. "So I must get everything out of here for the new Headmaster." For a machine, her voice seemed rather dissonant and sad. "Please leave. I have no more information for you."

Athena's jaw dropped. "Arrested?" she asked. "Why?" As far as Athena knew, though she was admittedly oblivious, Ialo had done nothing to warrant an arrest.

"...New Headmaster?" Danni latched onto this one point. God knew what Dragon Boy had been up to that hadn't been precisely on the straight and narrow, so maybe he had gotten caught at something. She'd deal with that later.
What had to be dealt with now was some b*****d was coming in trying to replace Dragon Boy. And that just wasn't happening.
Striding over, she opened up a portal, tossed all the packing boxes through it. Some poor African family was going to have a sudden influx of cardboard in the very near future.
"Talk." She said simply, her eyes narrowing.

"I don't take orders from you," Seven pointed out. Just as easily, the boxes puffed back into the room, and fell on the floor right next to her. Hah, machines that could use magic. Who would have thought? "Acting rashly will not bring him back, neither will acting like a bratty little girl. There is nothing wrong with asking, like Athena did. But for the record, Ialo Livius Enlil is now serving a life sentence in prison for multiple charges including but not limited to espionage, terrorism, fraud, theft, and, ironically, Danni's rape."
In that mere amount time, Seven had gone back to packing, and had stack two more boxes on top of Zero. "Forgive me if I'm not fond of you at the moment, Danni. I am not human, but it is still quite natural for me to desire to find a target to blame. And I really, REALLY don't like to be interrupted when following orders."

Danni, who'd been this close-this close-to turning the annoying robot into an automated toad, stopped dead, all the breath leaving her body as though she'd been sucker punched in the gut.
"The...The...what now?"

Athena, for being so smart, only picked up on one part. "Danni, you were raped?" She was confused, staring at her friend. She'd never heard about this. Though... Poopsie did have to come from somewhere. But wasn't he just a little too old?
...Life enprisonment. (Okay, make that two parts--only one was vocalized, though.) That... well, she didn't like that. Something would have to be done to remedy such a situation. It was unbefitting. Her mind was working overtime, trying to figure this all out. She may be naturally oblivious, but she didn't like being in the dark any more than the next person.

Seven bowed her her head slightly. "I need to clear out this room and the office as soon as possible. Your frequent break-ins... I have no you doubt you understand my urgency in removing all my Master's personal belongings. So please, leave. If you come find me later - perhaps tonight - I will share with you all that I witnessed."
