The conversation had turned to specifics of their origin worlds, and the five of them were quickly becoming absorbed in the conversation, when Carmelita received a call from an unknown number.
Connecting, she raised a hand to the others, Mei’s description of the original inspiration for Snowball petering out in mild confusion.
“This is Inspector Fox-Cooper, SupraPol. Who is this?”
++An Inspector? Perfect.++ The voice was garbled, but sounded both aged and mildly desperate. ++We’re in need of help. There’ve been kidnappings, and we’re only a small village.++
“Whereabouts are you?” Carmelita asked, silently adding Al3x into the conversation via another communicator call.
++The Tangled Green. We’ve sent a representative to the Nexus gate. Please, hurry.++
As the call hung up, Al3x chipped in with his opinion.
++As far as I can tell, it’s legitimate. I think they might have called your number through the personnel page… I’d advise trying to get some people to tag along though.++
“I agree. Thanks Al3x.”
Carmelita turned to the others and sighed.
“Duty calls. There’s a village in the Tangled Green that’s had kidnappings. From what I understand of the politics, outside of Ambrosia there’s not much in the way of a police force, so I’m on my own.”
She paused and looked at the four humans sitting with her. Carmelita wasn’t sure, but she thought she saw a brief glint of excitement in a couple of faces. She gave a slight smile.
“Of course, I’d not be against working with others…”
