She smirks at her mother's comment, "The caffeine helps with that....and do ya hafta do that to my hair? It's already gonna be a bi...pain to brush out. It seems to have a mind of it's own these days." She takes another big swig of her coffee before finishing the food on her plate. Getting up, she takes her dirty dishes to the sink and rinses them off while looking back at her mom and smiling ever so sweetly. She then trots back over to the couch and sits on the floor while leaning back and nursing the rest of what's left of her coffee.

Tree turns to Miyuku. "Did you rest well?"
**
Getting up from her spot on the floor, Yama takes her mug back to the kitchen and fills it about half way with some more coffee before getting a mug for her mom and filling it. She adds plenty of sugar and milk to hers, while leaving her mom's coffee black. Taking the two mugs, she makes her way back over to the couch and hands her mom the mug before sitting back down herself to sip on this bit of coffee a little slower.
Looking up at Tree she says, "Eh...she probably "rested" okay...but, it would probably be a good idea for her to be out in the sun for a couple hours today. I'm sure we can find a way to do that right? She needs the sun to....recharge her batteries so to speak." She looks over at her mom with an innocent half smile, "It's today that you need to do that right? Sometimes it's hard to keep track. I know I could go for a bit of an outing....we were gonna do that today right?" It's hard for her to keep the excitement out of her voice, but she makes a valiant effort.
Tree smirks at Yama's exuberance.
Miyuku smiles as she takes the cup of coffee from her daughter. "She's essentially said it all. Yes today is a recharge day, so some time in the sun would be a very good idea."
She shakes her head chuckling at the mention of a "outing", used to Yama's enthusiasm.
"I'll grab a shower while you two finish breakfast," Tree says, walking out of the kitchen.
She nods her head vigorously as he walks out, "Okie dokie Tree-san...I'll take care of Miyu-chan." She looks at her mother, "Did you get a plate yet? I liked the syrup, it was yummy and sweet. I like the holes in waffles....everything is better with holes in it...don't you think so?" She giggles slightly as she takes her now empty mug of coffee back to the kitchen.
Miyuku rolls her eyes stifling a laugh. "You would think that wouldn't you?"
Putting together a plate of food she takes a bite. "So today should be interesting."
She claps her hands as she feels the excitement building within her. She tilts her head slightly to the side and can't help but ask, "Sooo....how much of the building do I have to leave standing?"

"Enough that we don't have to shoot our way through half the police force on the way out preferably." Miyuku says only slightly in jest.
Tree walks back in, freshly showered and wearing a tight white t-shirt, equally tight blue jeans, a black short sleeve hoodie and a pair of worn out sneakers. "There really needs to be a better way for me to disguise myself..."
She sighs, "Okay....fine, I'll try to leave a few walls standing...." She looks up at Tree and smiles, "Uummm.....longer sleeves, a wig? I'm not sure how to help.....don't have much experience with disguises, cuz I am the disguise." She sighs a little before going to Tree and putting her hands on his face, no small feat since she has to climb up on furniture to reach him. Her nimbleness makes the climbing part much easier. With a small hand on each side of his face she smiles as she swishes her tail back and forth, "There's nothing wrong with the way you look Tree-san, why try so hard to hide it?" Even though she smiles there is a degree of knowing in the look she gives him.

"It's not shame, but it makes me pretty noticeable to Harada."
She shakes her head, "No no....I didn't mean to imply shame....the whole needing to hide all the time. I just mean.....well, we shouldn't let those jerks make us feel that way. We're gonna figure out what's going on and once we're done dealing with them we won't have to worry about having to hide who we are ever again."

"That's the goal, but in our case it may be easier than his Yama-chan since there are fewer of those after us or who even know I exist, than Tree-san." Miyuku comments.
She lets out another little sigh and climbs down from the furniture, "I know.....I'm just not sure what would help in this instance." She kind of shrugs, "Maybe try to do something with his skin tone? There has to be something we can do." She looks back and forth between Tree and her mother, a worried yet hopeful expression on her young face. Getting a determined look on her face she says, "We'll do our best.....but, if someone does recognize him, I'll just blow them away. Yup...that's it, dead men tell no tales." She laughs a little at her own inside joke. She had really gotten into pirate and swashbuckler movies over the last couple years and loved some of the things they said.

Tree shakes his head and chuckles. "Are we ready?"
Yama jumps up, "I gotta change first...I sorta fell asleep in what I was wearing yesterday, so I can't wear it again for this...outing. Besides, we're supposed to look like another family on vacation. All touristy and stuff, so let me change real quick and I'll be ready to go."
She runs off to the bedroom with Mr. Floppy and returns about 25 minutes later. She's wearing a frilly pink and black skirt like she had on the other day and a pink shirt with Hello Kitty on it. The Hello Kitty has a crooked halo above it's head and the shirt states that she's 100% Angel. She has on black combat boots that lace up and reach her calves, with about a three inch chunky heel on them, making her appear a little taller than her rambunctious 5'4" self. Her hair is pulled back in two pigtails, with a few whisps of bangs in the front. She has on a light amount of makeup, just enough to make the color of her eyes really stand out. Just because you're on a mission, doesn't mean you can't look good. The gloss on her lips gives them a subtly darker pink tint to them while making them shiny at the same time.
Upon sauntering back out to the living room, carrying her Hello Kitty back pack with her, she looks from Tree to her mother. "Okay, I'm all set."
"Well now we're ready." Miyuku says with a laugh. "After you my friend," she says smiling at Tree.
Tree heads outside, waiting for Yama and Miyu before closing and locking the door. He then heads to the car, holding the door open for them. "Let's go pay Harada a visit."
She nods as she rubs her hands together, "Oh goody, it's finally time for an outing." She smiles at Tree and then her mom as she hops into the back seat.
Getting into the car she checks her side arm. "Hopefully they'll appreciate the gifts we've brought."
Tree lets out a snort. "I doubt it, but they'll get them anyway."
He turns the car onto the street and speeds toward the old building.
From where you sit, you see a couple figures patrolling the front of the building. They appear to be carrying firearms.
"Looks like we have a welcoming committee. Yama-chan, do you see a building nearby that you'd like to get a 'better view' from?" Miyuku asks calmly.
She nods as she points to the building across the street, "Yup....I can climb up there from that ladder thingy." She says indicating the fire escape on the opposite building.

"Tree-san, can you turn so that we can let her out out of sight of the sentries?" Miyuku says, checking the clips on her weapons.
Tree turns the car around and pulls over to a nearby alleyway.
Yama hops out quietly and quickly and starts up the fire escape to get a better view of the building across the street.

Yama sees more figures inside the building. She also notices that the movements of the two people making patrols don't seem quite human.
Talking in a whisper to the com that connects her to her mother she reports her findings.

"Hmm..so either andriods, but not too focused on life model decoy, or something else. Probably heavy emphasis on security and combat. Meaning we'll have to be either fast and hard to take them, or slip past them." Miyuku says to Tree. "Any thoughts?"
"While running the car through the fence crosses my mind, I can't really replace it," Tree says. "If they are androids, then we shouldn't divide our attention."
He leans against the car and thinks for a moment. "They probably have the last-gen sensors which Harada produced, so slipping past them would be difficult but not impossible. We'd need a jamming signal."
Yama pipes up on the com, "Or...I could take them out with Benjiro...I'm just here of course. I'll do whatever it is you want to....I know what kind of attention Benjiro can draw though....so, I leave the decision up to the smart people."
"I'd rather save that for our exit if necessary. I don't want them targeting you while we're inside trying to get information." Miyuku reponds over the com.
A small sigh can be heard on Miyuku and Tree's end, "Fine....want me to try and take them out with the rifle then, or just cover your six?"

Tree looks to Miyuku. "Perhaps we should stick together."
On second thought, if we're going to make an entrance, once the shooting starts, we should probably stay as a unit. Maybe get the ball rolling then get down here and meet us before we head in." Miyuky says considering Tree's words.
"So...you want me to set up the shot, fire, and then get back down to you? I think I can manage that...but, I can only aim at one of them though." Though her voice holds a hint of disappointment in it, Miyuku could almost hear the amused smile in her daughters voice.
"That'll be more than enough, we can take the other one." Miyuku replies with a hint of a grin herself.
There's a small giggle from the other side of the com, then silence for a few moments as she closes her eyes and concentrates. Holding out her arms as if ready to receive something she says, "Chinshu, come to me."
Seconds later, as if out of thin air, her sniper rifle appears in her arms. Taking the gun near the edge of the building she sets it up so that she has a visual on the guard closest to them.
After taking a few moments to adjust her sight and position her weapon, Yama steadies herself behind the large weapon and braces herself to fire.
Suddenly there's a sound like a loud crack from above them as Yama fires at the one guard. Over the com they hear snickering, "Well..I'm sure that got their attention. Wildcat coming down, over."
Sending her gun away, Yama disappears down the fire escape to where Tree and her mother wait for her.
One of the unaware guards takes a bullet to its armored chest. Suddenly, red lights start flashing all over the complex and the guards begin to looks around actively.
Initiative:
Round 1: Yama, Miyuku, Tree, Guards
"Uhoh....guess they didn't like my gift afterall." She says as she appears on the street next to Tree-san and her mom. Standing between the two adults, Yama smiles as she stretches out her arm and hand as if holding something. Closing her eyes she says, "Kiyoshi, come to me."
Suddenly, her hand cannon appears and she grasps the grip of the gun.
Winking at Tree she says, "Time to rock and roll."

Raising her assault rifle Miyuku focuses on the wounded guard, somewhat caught offguard by the rapid crisis response.
The wounded guard manages to avoid Miyuku's barrage of bullets.
Tree runs for the fence, aiming to get over it before too much longer.
The non-wounded guard pulls his laser rifle and fires at Tree.

Round 2: Yama, Miyuku, Tree, Guards
Tree narrowly avoids the hot laser coming right for him.
