Assigned

Always one to flaunt her power, Alice's arranged meeting place was nothing less then the tallest skyscraper in the entire city. Owned by one of the many business tycoons under command the building was an impressive monolith, looming over the city like a terrible giant, bathing the ground below in shadow. Of course, most of the building was used for legitimate business, but beneath the skyscraper, deep underground was an extensive Specter base that served as Alice's HQ while on the Island.

To get to the place, though, one needed to be "in the know" so to speak. A hidden elevator shaft was the way to get down to the base, and being a member of Specter Seth knew just how to find it. The elevator was a very high-tech affair, having a sleek modern aesthetic. With a push of a button Seth was able to enter the elevator. Down, deeper and deeper into the base the elevator went, passing secure level after secure level. Finally, after a good few minutes a digital ding sounded and Seth had reached his destination.

Of course, Alice had spared no expense creating her private meeting room. Made just as much to intimidate as to impress it was so deep beneath the ground that it had been built next to a vein of magma. It was a circular chamber, the entirety of the walls being made of some unidentifiable see-through material that revealed flowing magma on all sides of the chamber except the one Seth entered through. The whole chamber had a sleek, modern, high-tech look about it; everything was colored black or dark silver, with both the long meeting table and chairs places around it having a modernistic design. The place was dimly lit, too, the magma providing enough of a natural glow to diminish the need for lots of lighting.

At the head of the table, in the largest chair Alice sat happily playing a handheld videogame, kicking her legs back and forth. When Seth entered she immediately ceased her gaming and turned her chair around to face the entrance of the chamber. "So, my little pet is here. Please, have a seat. We have a lot to discuss." Alice said to Seth.

Subtle hatred or not, Alice had Seth just where she wanted him. So he complained about her choice of words. So what. He could not act on them anyway and Alice delighted in knowing that. She loved how this all powerful, ancient spirit was nothing more then her little dog. He could not and will not disobey, no matter how much he wants to, and Alice's "choice of words" showed just how much she loved being the one holding Seth's leash. "You don't like my choice of words? I'm so hurt, I thought you where a good little doggy that loved his mistress. No matter, we're here for business so lets get down do it." Alice said to Seth.

"Inaba, power on." Alice called out and with those words a series of floating, paper-thin hologram-like windows appeared before her. Using her fingers she delicately moved through files on the windows until she finally came to what she was looking for.Opening the file, the image of a young girl that looked about 19 years old appeared as a three dimensional hologram at the center of the meeting table, positioned in a way that Seth could get a clear look at.

"This, Seth, is your target. Lady Miller. A college student at Starlight Academy. I've been there for a bit, trying to gather information and people, and I found out about this girl's powers through a bit of hacking and good old fashion spy work...through drone, of course. She seems harmless and that's because for the most part, she is. Lady here has powers that are useless to her in combat....but highly useful for me. She can enhance and expand the powers of other, and I want to have that ability for myself. My scientists should be able to replicate it once she's in our hands but the issue is getting a hold of her. That, Seth, is where you come in." Alice said to her minion.

" I need you to kidnap Lady and bring her to this base for experimentation; you should know where the labs are. Your free to use as much violence as you like and I don't care if people die as a result. All that matters is that you get Lady to me alive and in good enough conditions where she'll be able to endure research by my scientists. Also, don't announce to anybody that your working on behalf of Specter. The last thing we need is some doo-gooders chasing us down. Thus, while on this mission you are a rogue criminal with your own agenda. Specter dosen't exist to you until you come to deliver the girl to my scientists, got that?" Alice continued.
