[ She may puff out her chest a little. Don't point it out. ]
Follow me.
[ Even though she's Force Captain now, this might still get her in trouble, because even a Force Captain's perks are limited. Oh well. Maybe she's feeling a little rebellious. ]
[A Force Captain who is essentially in charge (?) of two Princesses now. One of whom needs Sustenance. Try and stop them!
Entrapta gambols after Catra. Hair keeping her up easily.]
I knew you were the best for this! Is there anything you need to know about the current target? I'm an expert!
[Entrapta really doesn't know why people tried to warn her about Catra. (You know. Before the whole 'Sentient hair and killer robots' thing really sank in!) Because Catra's pretty easy to get along with. You just have to tell the truth!
Which is weird. It doesn't seem to work so great with other people?
Something for further study! For now, better to focus on the current objective!]
... we're going to the kitchen tract, it's not really a target.
[ She thinks for a moment. ]
But perhaps you could help us be a little more... undetected?
[ Well, honestly, Catra is annoyed by Entrapta half the time, but impressed enough by her technological knowledge to keep her around. For however long she'll be useful. ]
[Which is still an improvement on Catra's Typical Annoyance Level, as far as Entrapta's calculations can tell! And now she's even giving out mission ideas. This is going great!]
Got it! Hold on! If I bypass the polar opposite circuit of the nearest capacitor -
[Bouncing over to the nearest keyboard, Entrapta begins tapping. Devolving into techno-babble.]
[Catra is the expert on stealth so Entrapta follows the leader. Keeping quiet, she drops down. Except the corner of shadow is awfully small, so it may be closer then intended!]
[ Which immediately puts Catra's senses even more on edge, and she can only just about suppress the urge to give Entrapta a good shove.
However, she is focused enough on the task at hand to pass over her discomfort. Instead, she takes a peek inside the kitchen, then a deep inhale through her nose, eyebrows knitting together as she tries to discern all the different scents.
When that doesn't yield anything indicating human presence (beside Entrapta's), Catra moves on to carefully sneaking up beside the doorframe and having a good look inside the room.
Having determined it is safe, she turns to Entrapta. ]
[Entrapta pulls down her mask, flicking it to Night Vision. Of course she has a Night Vision mode. You can't count on air ducts to be well-lit!
Opening a panel, she fiddles with some wires. Kitchen lights winking out one by one. Though it's impossible to see her face, no question she is beaming.]
[ Catra has to blink for a moment, because while she does have excellent night vision, her eyes do have to adjust. But then she smirks. ]
Good move. Let's not waste any more time, though.
[ She quickly glances over her shoulder to spot Entrapta, but then pounces silently along the walls toward the part of the pantry where the fancy food for the upper ranks is kept. ]
[Entrapta follows her nose, right to several promising-looking bundles. It's hard to make out fine details. Important things like sizes (preferably TINY) but even she knows this is not the time to be choosy!
She winds her hair around several, pulling carefully. Who knows what booby traps could still lurk...]
[Entrapta's still rummaging. Lower to the ground now, easily in 'grab and drag' range. If necessary. Someone's going to notice the power outage any second!]
Wait, one more - !
[Despite the earlier focus, she can't help wanting to explore all the options!]
[ Catra is used to getting out of situations unseen and unheard, so she already was about to make her escape, but she notices Entrapta's not following.
She looks back, sees the finger on Entrapta's lips, then rolls her eyes and plops down.
From the kitchens, she hears the shuffling sound of movement, and then a shout: Hey, who raided the pantry?
Shit. They had to be smooth now or they'd be in trouble. ]
[Fortunately, Entrapta's done an excellent job fixing the grate back on. And between Catra's agility and her own hair? No traces to be found! Not normal ones, anyway! All they have to do is keep... still...
There's some really rude words as the technicians and cook scuffle around. Eventually throwing their hands up in frustration.]
[ And it takes about all of Catra's willpower to not yell back at them, giving her and Entrapta away, but for once, she checks herself in time. There's the grate separating them from the kitchens, anyway, and getting through that to properly yell would be too much effort.
Eventually, the grumbling dies down, and there's only shuffling to be heard from the kitchens as the cooks and technicians clean up the small mess they made. It's as good a time as any to make their escape, so Catra tugs on Entrapta's sleeve and jerks her head toward where the vent continues into darkness. ]
