And things escalate quickly this week, with Alpha and Gamma dispatching Delta to deal with John Smith.
It suddenly maks a beeline for his cabin and blasts through the window.
Unlike the 660s, visual disguises wont work on her canine nose.

He beheads them and orders every entrance and exit in and out of the city to be monitored.
Two people who dont seem concerned with the economic situation at all are Alexia and Iris.
Cid actually makes an appearance as Shadow in his gaudy apartment with all the windows open.

He sits near a brazier and shivers and sneezes as Beta gives him a report.
Hes also taking notes, which she finds odd.
Beta cant help but tear up when she reports Delta is missing.

Then, just as suddenly and even more stylishly than Delta, Alpha is facing off against him.
Alpha may be far more powerful than Delta, but she is still no match for John Smith.
To support and understand him.

Now, it feels like hes discarding her.
Could it be he doenst need her anymore?
All hell say is that Delta is far away, and that when its all over shell understand.

Thats not good enough for Alpha; not here and now.
Instead, he meets up with Yukime, who has procured a good chunk of the MCAs gold reserves.
Its all going their way so far, but I hope its worth it.
