"As it was said, we have contracts with several talkative guards. Many of them aren't professionals, rather people connected to rich families, like youngest kids, sent out as tokens of trust, a form of punishment, or as informants, to some project this facility hosts, or is supposed to host. It's irrelevant right now, as we don't know what it means, so it's all pointless blabbering. What is important is that not all guards are willing to oppose us, if it went against their interests. Now back to the point, please." Jaq says exasperated, and points at another note.
Kinda at a loss as to why they are so willing to cooperate, you keep listening. Maybe they are lying?
"The method." Jaq starts anew. "Our scouts established that guards were ordered to move a new contraption, a-'
"A fridge-like, steel containers?" You ask hastily, and Jaq nods, but frowns.
"It's introduction coincided with the start of this new method perfectly, and so, I'm led to believe it might be the form of carrying out this... New form of 'teaching' us, or rather, furthering authorities' agenda. My contact in the canteen-"
"The student that always volunteers behind the counter?" You ask, more to test the limits of her patience than anything. So rare to see Jaq cooperating, and you can't help but wonder what magic Alex must have done to make it happen.
"...Yes, she. She told us that before the canteen was closed for 'sanitary' reasons the guards moved one of those contraptions inside and put them next to the vents."
"That makes one location known." Alex says tiredly, and flops on the seat next to Jaq's. "Ahh... It's just the beginning, indeed, madam. Just as Jaqueline said, I'm afraid."
Pointing at yet another note, Jaq continues. "Supposedly you and Alex seen this one, it was passing next to our classroom. It's location isn't known, but the cordon headed in the direction of the canteen as well. The one in canteen arrived before you've seen this one, meaning it has to be a different one."
"Meaning two are probably close to each other, madam." Alex adds, as he lies eyes closed. You only nod, worry steadily rising.
"The final one." Jaq repeats with another note. "... Disappeared. Initially, It was carried by a group with one of our scouts, but at one point the guards dismissed them and went alone. As was agreed upon, she followed them, but as she said 'they vanished into thin air in an alley' and disappeared behind a corner. How she missed a small procession, I don't care. She was performing well thus far, it's a shame I have to find a new student willing to oppose the facility. At least she will stay quiet." She sighs, annoyed.
"So we have to destroy them to stop their poison?" You ask, somehow already imagining Seo-young running from an explosion, her brilliant raven tresses hovering with the blast, and with you nestled cozily in her arms in a princess carry- w-wait-what?! "A-anyways! why won't your underlings handle it, aren't they closer? Alex seem tired..."
