Of Terrorists and Territory (& Crumpets)

[Hidamari]

Kiriko sat in the canteen on a table alone, she had a palmtop computer next to her inside of which was her AI "Cly" whom was sitting next to Kiriko's plate of food. She had wanted to try these "chips" for a while now, most of the other constables seemed to buy them everyday and it was one of the few items on the menu that never seemed to run out, Kiriko's eyes always widened in amazment at all the food they had in the canteen, most of it she had never heard of, nevermind tasted. The canteen population rapidly declined as an alarm was heard ringing calling for immediate response to the Burlington Rail bridge. Kiriko looked around as men and woman shovelled the last of their food into their mouths so they could assist in the alert.

Kiriko looked down at Cly on the table next to her food, she smiled and spoke joyfully

"Cly.. make sure you are connected to the police radios within the city around that area.. ok?"

Cly: ::Done, monitoring all policewave communication frequencies::

"arigato" *smiles*

Kiriko picked up her fork and poked a chip piercing it carefully and lifting it to her mouth, she took a small bite from it and began to juggle the food in her mouth as it was too hot, she waved her other hand around in despair while still trying to cool her mouth down, gradually she got her situation under control her eyes watered naturally due to the temparature.

"Hyaha.. these are nice.. Cly its too bad you cant try these... or well, maybe its not such a bad thing... you would get sick if you did eat one"

*Kiriko giggles at her table, seemingly alone, officers walking past wondering who she was, and who she was talking to, she would look up occasionally and catch people looking at her, her kusarian eyes would not make the situation any better, she would remember her rank and not look away even if it scared her, many that walked past couldnt beleive the rank she had and thought it must have been a joke by the higher ups.
