I think the second option is the best we can work with, for now.” you state. “That said, getting someone to shadow her, get a better read on what her plans might be, would be smart. We have a vague idea what she’s trying to do with Destron Gas, but the better-informed we are, the better we’ll be able to stop her. It IS going to be risky for the scout, though.”
“You’ve got an idea then?” Videl inquires.
“We send in the scout, but be ready to teleport to that scout’s location the moment problems arise. As many of us as we can get. Even if SHE escapes again, it’ll provide safety for the scout and get us some kind of advantage.”
“Reasonable.” Eagalia gives a nod. “But the question is, who do we send in as a scout?”
“I might.” Irico’s voice comes in over the comms. “I’m both a smaller and weaker target, and I’ve got some decent scouting abilities.”
“Decent, sure, but it’s also significantly more dangerous for you, Irico.” your uncle responds.
“I’m aware. But I’m also aware that I’m not as significant a target for someone like that. I can slip under the radar a bit better than most. Even if you’ve got your stealth, Peppa, she’s going to be expecting you.” Irico explains.
You rub the back of your neck. “Got a point. Though maybe I can use that to our advantage? I could try getting under her skin, get her to act sloppy.” you say as you look up at Eagalia.
“Getting her to monologue was a good plan. She loves hearing herself talk. But showing disinterest, dismissal, or especially correcting her on certain aspects will drive her up a wall.” she tells you. “That said, it’s a trick that doesn’t work as well on repeat. And now that she knows how much a threat you can be to her, she’ll be much more wary of you, Son Peppa.”
