"I want to torture someone, Xerelos... leave me be. Soldiers! find some random civilian and arrest them... I want to relieve some stress." the man said, one of his mechanical eyes glowing fiercely.

"I'm out all!" Spira flipped her eyes up, sliding out from under the machine she was working on to see Callen, one of the other workers. He did mostly welding. He grinned at her and waved, running up the stairs and out the doorway, on to wherever he lived. No one spoke of where they lived, rarely anyway. If someone captured someone who knew where you lived, they could force information. Thus, giving away your home. Thus, giving away your life.
"Bye Callen," she said, waving back and sliding back under the machine. She worked long hours, hearing people depart until she was the last one.
"Better get going soon, Spira." She glanced out from beneath her work, seeing one of her old friends, Shawn, speaking to her. "Searchers. If you don't leave before they go looking, you're stuck for the night."
"I wouldn't mind working all night," she said, shrugging.
"All right," he responded, shrugging back. "See you later."
Spira worked a bit longer, tweaking up a few things until it was perfect. She could send a message to the factory tomorrow to come and get it.
She noticed how silent it was in the room. She ignored it, used to the quiet of her unhappy home. Sadger hid in her pocket on her tan cargo pants, smeared with grease and oil, as she made her way out of the building.
She glanced outside quickly. No signs. She sprinted out onto the street, but a shot suddenly fired at her feet. She hopped backwards quickly, eyes wide as she looked for the shooter. She did a quick roll, hiding behind an old, burned out car. A few shots glanced off the side.
Searchers.
Spira glanced at her alley out, a few yards in front of her. She jumped out from behind the car, sprinting towards the alley.
She was stopped as a set of feet hit the ground roughly before her, the barrel of a gun aimed between her eyes. "Whatchya doin' out so late, girlie?" She looked up, locking eyes with a leering pair behind goggles.
Caught.

One of them wore a hat instead of the helmet, an officer.
"We have orders from the emperor himself to bring you to him. you are arrested for being out after curfew." he grinned wickedly at her.

"Screw that!" she snapped, and quickly turned on her heel, taking off at a fast speed. She didn't get far before tackled from behind, though. She skidded into the dirt, cursing as it cut into her elbows, the heavy weight pinning her down. She struggled for a minute, knowing it was worthless. She cursed loudly.

Spira cursed so much it would have made a sailor blush as they picked her up and threw her in. She struggled, kicking, swinging her fists, and biting. She made sure that Sadger was silent in her pocket, though. If they saw him, they'd probably just kill him.
She was soon restrained, and they moved on. She held on to her pride for the fact that one of her bites had made a nice cut on one man's hand, who was nursing the bleeding wound slightly.

"Alright, let's go." The soldiers shut the doors to the paddy wagon and someone seated themselves in the front. the engine growled to life and the truck drove, battering her around inside.

Spira cursed as the ride went on, muttering angrily and now and then delivering a kick to the walls of the truck. She finally felt it slow to a stop, the doors opening at the end. She couldn't see who'd opened them, the dark of the East Sector still hiding all. Especially at night.
She took her opportunity and leaped forward, head-butting the opener of the doors straight on in the head. She leaped around them and took off at a sprint in a random direction. She heard shots fired at her.

"Looks like we've got a runner. chase 'em down."
From the street up ahead someone in a gray cloak beckoned to her from an open doorway.

Spira didn't know if she could trust the person in the grey, but she didn't really have a choice. She did a quick roll, dodging the shots fired at her. She skidded into the doorway.

The man pulled her in, "Good! N'Zeth Ferna Bakt!" The room faded around them. "another freed by the White Magi!" the man shouted and faded away. The world when white, then slowly faded to a plaza in West Sector. the blue sky shined down overhead, and people walked around by the greenery. a monorail zipped overhead.

Spira suddenly felt very self concious. One, it was very bright out, the sun shoving her existence into full view. Two, she was covered in oil and grease from work. Three, she was covered in dirt, mainly just a thing that came with living in East Sector. Four, she had two cuts from skimmed bullets, one across her cheek and the other on her shoulder, and both were bleeding quite nicely. She cursed very loudly, looking around instantly for anywhere to hide. Sadger leaped out of her pocket up to her shoulder, baring his teeth at anyone who so much glanced at her.
"Oh great," she said sarcastically. "Now I stand out more."

A man in white armor with a small silver pistol holster walked up to her.
"You're another one aren't you? the White Magi keep teleporting people into our area... Come along, I'll get you cleaned up." the Defender officer said softly.

{Whoa, I got left behind. Anyway, I did not know that about the costumes. You should put those kinds of details in side notes before you start the roleplay. Oh, and the School of Bug Battling? Did you forget about it?
I was about to post when I realized: I can't do anything until other people join as the other Defenders! Otherwise I'd be just be watching TV or other boring jobs around the headquarters for a while. I'll give it a little more time, then post for real.}
