[Area] Earth C post chapter 2

There is a knock on the door. Jane freezes. She's been trying to get her accounts back for the past 20 minutes and all she's managed to do is get counter-reported for impersonation, even though she is the real Jane Crocker!!
What if whoever is at the door is here to send her to jail? What if more haphazard assassins have been sent to her location?

Relax Jane. You've trained for situations like this your entire life. Just make sure that you're prepared for whoever or whatever may be beyond that door.

Taking a moment to breathe, Jane inches towards the door, with an oversized red spoon in one hand. She checks through the peephole.

It's you, Hazel.

A sigh of relief. Jane lowers the spoon, unchaining and unlocking the door.

You are greeted by a Jane with telltale signs of stress on her face, loosely holding a large spoon, for some reason.

"Dearie me, you almost gave me a fright there!"

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, a grown-ass man watches the news on TV. He adjusts his triangle shades and baseball cap.
"...so the day of destiny has finally arrived... I better go pick up the kid soon."

The man presses a button, summoning a tall robot in a hooded robe. It stands waiting, bobbing to its own idle rhythm.
"Sawtooth. Escort Lil' K back to the base. We've got a lot of work to do."

Sawtooth nods and takes its leave, launching off into the sky on an unreal air. It's a lot cheaper to use those than expend rocket fuel around here. Some recycling services even pay users of such shitty jpeg devices for keeping them out of landfills.

The man in the black anime shades watches out the window. Soon all those years of training will be tested... he can only hope it was enough...
