Ren heard the other voice at the other end of the line. It was suspicious to say the least and poorly concealed unless it was some sort of attention hook. "Wait. Who's that? Is that Cora or something?" Sometimes he just wished that he had used a video call and this was one of those occasions.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Vanessa looked up with a start. "What?" The question was not expected. "I am Vanessa Rose. Been here for nearly four months already. What are you doing here? And where's your collar?" She tapped the metallic ring around her neck. "And... what school?"<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Alyssa slid her ID card onto under the glass partition, "Excuse me. My card seems to have some sort of malfunction. Could you check...?"<br/><br/>The man behind the desk nodded mutely, picking up the card and scanning it. He squinted at the screen and started clicking away on the mouse. "You're an ex-anti skill?"<br/><br/>"Yeah, and I decided to have a vacation back to New Zealand." Alyssa said as she tapped furiously away on a tablet. "Wanted to work as a programmer but turns out they already had other programs to take my place so I joined the police force."<br/><br/>"Oh? Hey wait..." The database did not display the information. "Miss you're not on the database. Hang on, I'll let it update again. Probably some laggy response."<br/><br/>"Okay..." She waited and then-<br/><br/>"Yeah, you're in. Fixed your card's error too."<br/><br/>"Thanks. Bye~"
