SUNNY: ...Hello? Th-this is Blue Rose. Naru, do you read me?
[In the background, the voice of an older man can be heard] "Naru? As in Naruto the anime character? That's what he decided on?"
SUNNY: [Quietly]: That's what I figured, too. But he insists that it's actually a reference to Narukami, the Japanese god of thundering. It's kind of another name for Raijin, and he supposedly chose it to honor his father.
"Oh, right. Raiden. ...Somehow I doubt that it had absolutely nothing to do with Naruto."
JOHN: I did choose it because of dad!
SUNNY: Oh, Jo- N-naru! I uh, ...guess these things pick up more audio than I thought...
JOHN: I didn't even notice the Naruto connection until you pointed it out, Blue.
SUNNY: Okay, okay... I-if you say so. [A sigh] You've already been briefed, right? So... I guess you can just proceed with the mission now.
JOHN: [a grumble] If you can even call this a "mission"...
SUNNY: You were looking forward to this a few hours ago, weren't you? [Excitedly] It's your very first field mission, Naru!
JOHN: But all I'm doing is taking a bunch of stupid pictures... This is just about as dangerous as playing 'Pokemon Snap'.
SUNNY: ....I like Pokemon Snap....
JOHN: Really? Those games are okay. Pretty boring though, if you ask me. I could never get into--
"Er, don't you two have things to do?"
SUNNY: O-oh, sorry...
JOHN: That's Hal in the background, right?
SUNNY: Maybe y-you should just call him Otacon during times like these....
JOHN: Yeah. [Flatly] Y'know, just in case these overweight security guards hack into our frequency and hear us.
SUNNY: [A sigh] Look, just be glad that you-know-who has allowed you to take part in even this. You know how she feels about you working for Philanthropy before you turn 18. Low-risk missions only, for now.
JOHN: And meanwhile, the fate of the free world was placed in your hands when you were only... what, 7-ish?
SUNNY: Th-that's... uh... different. [Sunny clears her throat] A-anyways, Naru, we've wasted enough time. Proceed with the mission.
JOHN: Gotcha. Commencing "Operation Snap-Taker", now. [/Transmission]
