There was no sign of anyone else here. Maybe she was early - she had left her room immediately, after all. The rest of the team should be here soon.

Soma took up position on the other side of the hallway so she faced the F-blocks and waited.

So far, no snakes rearing their heads just begging to be crushed beneath the Bride's heel. Beatrix took up a position by the door to the women's bathroom and waited for HK-47 to arrive.

HK had never really had any reason to find this area of the cell blocks. He didn't have any assassination targets here, so why should he go out of his way to wander around where all the meatbags were stored? At least he'd memorized his maps days ago, so he knew exactly where he was going.

He saw a familiar heat signature lurking by the door to the RV point. Those injuries still looked quite lurid in the infrared. It was quite easy to understand why the one responsible was wanted messily dead. He could help make that happen!

He got close (but not too close) before saying a cheerful "Greeting: Hello, meatbag!"

Beatrix noted HK-47's presence a few moments before he spoke up. She hadn't been positive it was him until she heard his oddly cheerful voice, but she was in a non-combative mood, so she was far more tolerant of the potential sneaking up that he could have done to her. As much as she hated to admit it, she was still feeling enough pain to be mildly distracted unless she felt her life was in danger.

"Good to see you didn't get sidetracked again," the Bride replied. "To make your blade, we need to provide the Norn with raw materials. My katana is made from the pipes in this bathroom and it did not even chip when it met Ophelia's claymore while she was at full strength."

She felt no need to point out that HK-47 needed to rip pipes out of the bathroom walls. He was a smart droid,

"Statement: I do not get sidetracked. Just unavoidably delayed." Which was true! But with the value of 'unavoidable' defined entirely in terms of how important certain things might be to HK at that moment.

"Very interesting. Query: Shall we move along, then?" He was so excited to get a good bladed weapon, and it certainly showed in his tone.

The Bride's lip curled up in what could have been a smirk at the droid's protests that he didn't get sidetracked.

"I see. Do forgive me," she replied, clearly not meaning it.

Turning toward the bathroom door after giving the hallway another look, just in case snakes were hiding in the metaphorical underbrush, Beatrix nodded. "There usually aren't any enemies inside the bathrooms, but one can always hope. Lead the way."

Whether HK knew the reply was sincere or not, he didn't react. There were more important things to be done!

"Statement: Excellent! For once, I do not wish to fight. At least, not until better weapons are procured." He headed into the room.
