Back in her hotel room, Yauhmi turned the piece of paper that she had been given by Councillor Pierre over and over in her hand. She wasn't sure what the unexpected and secretive message would bring her. She wasn't sure, given everything that was already taking place, that she could handle a new development. Eventually, with a sigh, she opened the letter and read it.
Tlalzixiūhxa. Yauhmi sighed again, but not in trepidation. She had greatly regretted the loss of her spokeswoman, and had tried to find out what had happened to her once she had been captured by Xiomeran authorities, but to no avail. But, apparently, this mysterious group of Auroras knew where their fellow Aurora was. After a moment, she went into the sitting room and told Texōccoatl to come into her room. After he had closed the door behind him, she wordlessly handed him the letter. He read it through as well, before letting out a slight sigh of his own and plopping down into an armchair. "Breaking someone out of ASI custody will be risky. They will either be holding her in the Cauhloc or at one of the ASI black sites somewhere. Hopefully these Auroras know where Tlalzixiūhxa is actually being held. If it's the Cauhloc...."
".....if it's the Cauhloc, and we don't help them, those Auroras will be walking into a suicide mission, no matter how good they are," Yauhmi finished the sentence in a flat tone.
"I already know you want to help them, and I agree, we should. Is this something we should run by the Assembly?" Texōccoatl asked.
"No," Yauhmi said after a moment. "To be blunt, they might well say no. That is not a risk I want to take."
"If the operation fails, the Assembly will be furious with us both. Even if it succeeds, they will not appreciate not being told," Texōccoatl retorted, but with a smile on his face.
"Then we had best make sure it succeeds, and then it will be much easier to seek forgiveness for not having asked permission," Yauhmi replied firmly. "So. Get in touch with Tlanexchel and have him begin putting a team together to help the Auroras, and as much current intelligence as we can get on the Cauhloc and security arrangements in Tlālacuetztla." Texōccoatl nodded, still smiling, already taking out his phone to make the call.
After he had departed, Yauhmi took out her own phone, and dialed the number on the enclosed card to make a phone call of her own.

Quote:Dear Yauhmi,
We are a collective of former Kerlian intelligence agents, part of the Aurora Programme. We desire to free one of our number, who is presently detained by Calhualyana. We write to request assistance, as we fear our mission will fail without outside help. The Aurora we wish to free is known to you, your former spokeswoman Tlalzixiūhxa. If you are willing to meet with us, contact the number on the enclosed business card.
Daisy, Eleanor, Fern, Lauren, Renee, Norma, Naomi, Nicole, Nora.
