It was the next day, though waking up in a crummy bed was not the most ideal start to the morning. The room was dimly lit, and I looked out the window to see what seemed to be local people grilling.

I let out a sigh, knowing that life wasn't an option for me now known as a fugitive. I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for the comfort and familiarity of home. As I got dressed I put my jumpsuit on, then my power skeleton, then the new clothes I had been given.

I couldn't help but notice how different I looked in the mirror, with the jumpsuit and power skeleton hidden under my new clothes. The transformation was striking, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as I realized how much my appearance had changed. It was a stark reminder of the life I had left behind and the challenges that lay ahead as a fugitive on the run.

As I walked down stairs to see the others, I saw that they were cleaning the place up, knowing this place might have been a former drug den was not the ideal for a group of soldiers preparing for a covert operation.

"Morning, you're dressed quite early" Shane said sweeping.

I smiled weakly at Shane's comment, trying to hide my nervousness. "Yeah, I don't have work to worry about so I casually get up early," I replied, attempting to sound nonchalant.

"Well, that's not bad, cause we're heading out to find out what people think of the US army allying with prialle wolves" Shaun said.

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Shaun's mention of the US army allying with prialle wolves. "That's quite a controversial topic," I remarked, my curiosity piqued. "I wonder how people reacted to it."

"I think the internet might shed light on that, there's bound to be a range of opinions and discussions online," Jenna said.

"Then we'll just have to go to an internet cafe to access the online discussions and see what people are saying about this alliance. It will be interesting to hear different perspectives and understand the public's perception of this controversial decision." I said.

As everyone put on their disguises and we headed towards the nearest internet cafe, I couldn't help but anticipate the diverse array of viewpoints that awaited us.

As we made it, I sat down on the chair, eagerly logging into the computer, while the others gathered around me to see the screen.

"okay... youtube.com... let's start by searching for videos or interviews discussing the alliance," I suggested. The anticipation in the room grew as we waited for the search results to load, ready to delve into the public's thoughts and opinions on this controversial decision.

As the results came in, there were numbers of videos with titles like "What is the US military doing?" and "why should we join forces with them?" The titles of these videos indicated that there was a significant amount of curiosity and skepticism surrounding the alliance. Intrigued, we clicked on one of the videos to gain insights into the perspectives being shared by the online community.

I then clicked one called "who are the prialle wolves?" which showed someone arguing that the US military may have doomed america by aligning themselves with a mysterious group. The video raised thought-provoking questions about the potential consequences of this alliance, then the speaker added the mention of me, Max, Shaun, Shane, and Abigail, mentioning that we might not be fugitives from justice as some people believe. This sparked our curiosity and led us to delve deeper into the background of these individuals mentioned.

I then exited out of the video were max spoke, "try that one" Intrigued by Max's comment, I clicked on the suggested video that was titled "prialle wolves sound shady" As the video played, it became evident that there were people who are skeptical of the prialle wolves, mentioning that they flew in like they were from "star trek" and that their sudden appearance raised suspicions.
