Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Kallichore was still learning the ropes, she'd found that through intense training, she'd attained super senshi status - something that came with a more powerful attack and more tattered clothing. She was beginning to wonder if there was some cosmic joke being played on her; that some deity upstairs simply wanted her to look like an escapee from a mental facility. During the time she'd spent at the BMC compound, she was a quiet and diligent worker. Worry oftentimes played on her face in private with Serpentarius. After the meeting they both attended, they grew anxious at the stability of the court. The Inner Sanctum was at odds with one another, something that did not happen in a stable group. If the BMC crumbled, Kallichore wasn't sure where she'd go.

She was deep in thought when she heard the cat's voice. The feline was still very unfamiliar to the cadet, and her voice came off at first as completely unrecognizable. Confusion made the gray haired senshi turn to find the feline behind her. Turning to face the cat, Kallichore wondered why someone from the Inner Sanctum would come to see her, aside from Ares and Albali. Those two were the ones who accepted her into the organization in the first place and acted as leaders.

Kallichore realized that while the cat knew her name, she didn't know the cat's. Kneeling down to face her on a more even level, the senshi found herself somewhat confused. "Yes...?" Without a name to call the cat, she didn't want to be disrespectful and call her 'kitty'.

The cadet nodded with a slight frown. "Zirconia." she repeated, adding it to memory. Weren't Negaverse agents named after gems or minerals or something? Obviously things worked differently in Zirconia and Ares' world than they did here. Kallichore had a lot to learn. "Patrol? Perhaps. I was more concerned with an operation that was coming up. I'd like to make sure everything is accounted for before we put it into action."

By the BMC rules, she had to bring up part of the plan with the Inner Sanctum. They had to find out what to do in case the group found and captured Negaverse officers. After what happened with Operation Rota, bringing a Negaverse officer anywhere near other senshi was a bad idea. At least for the inexperienced like herself and Serpentarius. Their goal was information and infiltration. That was it.

"Are you checking in on us?"

The super senshi nodded and made herself comfortable with her feet tucked beneath herself. She only thought it polite to sit on Zirconia's level. "Yes, I'm surprised the others didn't tell you." Kallichore thought information traveled in the blink of an eye within the upper tiers of the organization. Tilting her head, the senshi explained further. "There is a taco shop of particular interest due to its recent bouts of Negaverse activity. Serpentarius and myself, along with a few others, are set to investigate soon."

The teen spoke more like a military strategist than a cadet, but that was simply how she thought about things. Since Operation Rota did not go off without a few hitches (and deaths), Serpentarius was wary as well. The air between the two senshi was electric in excitement and anxiety. "I will remain on the outskirts, watching while Serpentarius infiltrates the establishment by pretending to be an interested civilian." Kallichore took to making a small drawing by tracing her finger in the dust on the floor, marking out the perimeter of the taco stand and its surrounding areas. "I'll be in this area. Once she's inside, myself and the others will go in and find out just what is behind the vast amount of disappearances."

The super senshi nodded in the affirmative before amending her statement to include further (and truthful) information. "A mercenary whose name escapes me at the moment explained that the restaurant is of particular interest due to suspicious disappearances. Serpentarius and I came up with the rest." After tracing the final outlines of the designated area, Kallichore leaned back to examine her work. The two cousins had been by the area a few times to investigate, pretending like they were walking home from school. Melinda borrowed one of her cousin's Meadowview outfits to blend in and not attract any unwanted attention. Two girls from Meadowview would not be as conspicuous as a well-to-do girl from Crystal.

"If something should come between Serpentarius and I, I will take whatever course of action necessary to ensure her safety." The super senshi frowned vigorously. She thought she had covered all the possible bases, but Zirconia was good to ask these questions. In truth, Kallichore would stop at nothing to save her cousin. She refused to lose anyone else in her family, blood, marriage or otherwise. The senshi was beginning to discovered a ruthlessness within herself she didn't know she possessed. "I've stopped a corrupted super senshi in her tracks before as a regular senshi. I think my power packs enough punch to stop someone much more easily now."

"Not at all, Zirconia. Perhaps you could assist. You're much smaller than the rest of us and much less likely to be detected..."

Kallichore's voice dropped to a mumble at the end, indicating she was thinking intensely about this proposition. A cat on their side could prove to be the tide-turning device they didn't know they had. Zirconia could enter into the building relatively undetected and it seemed as though cats possessed the same glamor that protected a senshi's identity. Whether or not this was true was anyone's guess and was based purely on speculation on the senshi's part. She didn't recognize Guardian Cats right off the bat, so she assumed they had to have some kind of magic to protect them from getting snatched.

It was rude of her to assume Zirconia would be willing to take on a role beyond that of an adviser, to which Kallichore blinked out of her plan-obsessed stupor. "Ah, that is... if you would like to engage further than just observing." The last thing she wanted was to insult a prominent member of the Court. Ares would frown on that intensely. "Thank you for the compliment."

Mentioning why Ares saw potential in the senshi made her heart swell with pride. Indeed, Ares was a hero to Kallichore, being able to do what she did with such a level head. Ares proposed plans like no one before her, and no one since. She wanted desperately to make a difference somehow.

One thing Kallichore was not introduced to was the fact that guardian cats could take on human form at times. The information was shocking, and no doubt the senshi's surprise played across her face. "Well, I..." she paused, her thoughts screeching to a halt. Zirconia was one of the most important members of the Court. Her asking to come along was probably a test set out by Ares. She swallowed a lump in her throat. "I am requesting your presence in the form you find most fitting."

After further deliberation, she amended her statement. "I believe you being in your natural state may be for the best. You would be smaller, less conspicuous, and you could hide in the foliage at these locations," She pointed to several areas that sported landscaping that would be easy for Zirconia to hide in. "and you could give us reports once someone powers up. That could be very helpful."

Leaning back, the senshi studied the map with fervor. "Leto could possibly camouflage herself or a small group for infiltration purposes..." Kallichore's voice trailed off, her brows furrowing in thought. What would Ares do?

"Surprised I took initiative?"

What shocked Kallichore the most was that no one else seemed to go forward with any preconceived plans at any real point in time. It was odd. Didn't anyone else have the desire to further the designs of the court? She shook her head, frowning in thought. Being inactive or passive was something she vehemently avoided if at all possible. Idle hands and minds were wasteful, in her opinion. But as much as the senshi was proactive, she had no idea what Zirconia was talking about.

What looked to her like Ares putting... what was her name? Birhan or whoever on the spot. It was like a test. Was that unusual? "I just want to assist the court in any way I can. You all were nice enough to take me in. It's the least I could do for you, seeing as you all took a chance with me." It was honest, direct and somewhat heartfelt. It was quite unusual for Kallichore.
