Nice Try [Makoto, Open I guess]

Dead End. She had left pieces of the investigation to her subordinates but she was hardly the hands off type given the fact she had spent better part of a week going through all of the records for individuals that had sent packages through the postage service. Garnet eyes fixed on the training dummy, she beat out her frustrations into the lifeless frame as though it would bring an epiphany to her.

It had not which only left her more frustrated and give more frustration to beat into the dummy that refused to yield any answers.

Once the list of senders had been exhausted, the staff of the service were analysed as well with no success. While some of them were hardly the cleanest of backgrounds for poor life choices she could unfortunately conclude that none of them had means or inclination to suggest they'd decide to bomb that hospital.

She needed a breakthrough rather than have it continue to progress at this pace.

"Hi hi~ Vice Captain, Yuricchi, how've things been going for you?"

Kokoro's tone was the same as always, upbeat and even a bit chirpy, but that didn't mean she was being unserious in the slightest. She just knew the last thing this little impromptu meeting of theirs needed was a third person being all sour and grim.

"Stuff's been kinda a dead end on my people's end. But we haven't had much of a meeting to try and put our heads together, huh? So maybe it'd be worth doin' that. I already got in some training, so don't lemme get in the way if you two are gonna throw down."

Of course, even when she was here in the training room, Kokoro had a few reports she was going through, having read some of them as she did typical reps of the standard workout. But her eyes weren't on those right now, she was definitely more focused on the two of them.

Idle division members would normally irk her but these were stressful circumstances and not everyone had the same resilience that she did. No, the same obsession that allowed her to put pressure on every area of her wellbeing to accomplish a goal. A singlemindedness which was comparable to madness to others.

Well, one of them were idle but if she had to venture a guess then Kokoro's commitment to her work was as much some kind of distraction as her own obsession formed from.

"A meeting? Do either of you have something to that is favourable to our circumstances? This investigation is progressing too slowly and our strongest lead is a dead end."

To think that this stupid gala on Earth was being considered as well. The perfect opportunity for someone to flee amongst the groups or plot another scheme by being out of the eyes of the Sixth.

"Nothin' wrong with talkin' shop and training at the same time, Yuricchi. As for leads, Vice Captain, I can't say I've got leads, but I've been workin' on it, doin' some thinkin' on my own to stay ahead."

Kokoro took a moment to sift through the papers she'd had with her, before producing a short report that was obviously still in-progress. It wasn't much, but it was definitely something, at the very least.

"Can't say there's much to go off yet, but I've been talkin' to people in the Shihoin and the Kuchiki about the situation. This is internal affairs n' all, but it's silly to pretend the big families don't have eyes n' ears all over the place too, and I know a lotta people in both households, so I'd rather put that to use than just ignore it. Gonna see if I can talk to Lord Kuchiki himself about it, too."

Of course, that wasn't to say she was on good terms with everyone in either family, given her circumstances, but she wasn't there for pleasantries anyway. This was a matter of security, and while she didn't really think of Byakuya as a particularly "friendly" person, she'd spent enough time in the Kuchiki family to know he probably wasn't one to let a security breach like this go unaddressed on his end.
