_{[It's a little before sun-up-- that weird hour of the morning where the sky is still dark but just starting to brighten in a thin, pale line at the horizon. Of course, where Heather was, that horizon was hidden by the trees, so it's... still mostly dark.]

[She's sitting up in her sleeping bag with a couple of blankets around her shoulders, next to the camp's fire, which had mostly burnt down to ash speckled with a few tiny, stubborn embers. They stood out against the general grayness of the clearing 'Camp Otacon' resided in. Said grayness was only emphasized by the layers of frost coating the earth and grass. It was well into October now, so... unsurprisingly, the weather had been getting colder.]

[Heather was not sure she liked this, though thankfully she's in possession of a living heater in the form of a now-distinctly-potbellied dog (Camp Otacon had been treating him well. Especially because though she'd never admit to being such a softie, she'd been giving him more treats than normal out of pure guilt over the whole 'I thought you were a double-head and also I was kind of a jerk to you in general anyway' thing), who was curled behind her and serving as a backrest.]}

So hey, guys. I have a question.

_{[Her words were accompanied by puffs of steam from her breath. It's c-c-cold this morning without the sunlight.]}

What happens when our warrants expire?

_{[A couple of people had asked her this before, but she'd never had too specific an answer to give them.]}

I heard we're like... basically off with a smack on the wrist and not much else, but... _{[She pauses, sucking her lips inward a little and fiddling with that stubborn eye-bandage. She's gotta be able to get rid of that thing soon, right?]} ... That seems pretty lenient for a bunch of "dangerous fugitives". _{[She's quoting Officer Jenny directly from that announcement, and there's suspicion in her tone. SCREW THE COPS, THEY'RE NEVER HONEST, RIGHT? THIS HAS TO BE A TRICK.]}

I... er. I think he'll be okay.

Yikes, did I kick him that hard?

I was only watching and I felt it.

_{[... For some reason, the thought and the way he says it strikes her as HORRIBLY FUNNY so she snerks loudly, muffling her laugh with one hand.]}

Fffhhshhfkt, I'm sorry!!

[THAT WAS THE POINT so he kinda breaks out into laughter himself]

_{[Well she can't hide it if HE'S laughing too, so she drops the muffling hand and just laughs. She needed that.]}

I hope I didn't take away anyone's ability to conceive future children!

...

I really hope you didn't!

I apologize in advance if you never get to be a cool thief dad!

[... ohdear they're talking about him. He goes red when she says that because CHILDREN WHAT]

_{[Admit it Kaito you wanna be a cool thief dad someday who can teach your kids to be the BEST MAGICIANS EVER.]

[Luckily Heather doesn't mean anything significant by it, and doesn't seem to notice the fact that he has suddenly become a tomato.]}

Anyway, I sure hope that cop doesn't have a deathwish for me now.

[he coughs and moves on with the conversation]

You and me both. And the Officer Jennies, too.

Yeah.

... on a COMPLETELY unrelated note, does it creep you out that they all look the same?

... It creeps ME out.

Who wouldn't find it creepy?

Seriously!

Are they clones?

Identical sisters? ... Fiftymilliontuplets? Is that even possible?

I think I heard one of them say cousins once.

... Cousins?

... Dude, no way.

Cousins aren't supposed to look like they all came out of a factory somew--

_{[She stops abruptly, a look of realization dawning on her face.]}

.... ROBOTS, Kaito!

[INCREDULOUS EXPRESSION because he had to deal with a robot clone once. THAT WAS FUN]

What?!

I've figured it out!

Maybe they're robots!!

_{[... Which would not explain why she'd been able to kick one of them in the crotch and actually have it do anything, but... dude it's early in the morning and Heather is tired and sort of loopy so it sounds plausible enough.]

[And that Souji kid DID say something about people being robots! MAYBE HE WAS RIGHT.]}

[... he's going to play along with her because WHY NOT]

Why didn't we notice before?!

And it would explain why the warrants are retardedly short.

Robots are dumb.

_{[Sure Heather okay.]}

Heather, we've gotta do something.

Robots always want to take over the world.

... Shit, you're right! They do every time!

We need to organize a resistance, ASAP!

Quick, we've gotta name ourselves something!

Something awesome! Awesome resistance groups always have awesome names.

Uhhh... okay, okay, think.

_{[She snapped her fingers a few times.]}

... Uhhhh... should we go for alliteration or is that too corny?

Why wouldn't we go for alliteration?
