Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy, you smirk. Speaking of baddies, what does she know about Rivka anyways?
“Very little, I’m afraid…” Replies the heiress with even less enthusiasm than usual. “Until now I was convinced there was no <span class="mu-i">Rivka Bertruger</span> working for <span class="mu-i">HAUSER</span>--just <span class="mu-i">Nurse Mabel</span>... you probably know everything Dare and I do, if not more so by now.”

“You thought about Darren and I.” Mina guesses with a hint of bemusement in her tone. “It certainly explains her hair color… Well, you already know the basics: expect her to be much stronger, faster, and more durable than she looks–gene manipulation can be extremely subtle if done by professionals… but given her clown hair, well… who can say?”
So avoid close-quarters, you nod to yourself, gotcha.

Anything else?
“There is one thing…” The heiress answers with a bit of hesitation in her voice, “Don’t underestimate her, Diesel–if anyone can finish this, well… it’s <span class="mu-i">you</span>.”
Another pause.
“... and I-erm, <span class="mu-i">WE</span> all want you to come back safe and sound.”
Any last words for the Class Prez?
