It continued firing webs at her, advancing.
Just five more minutes... Miko thought, watching from her elevated position.

Tomoko did as best she could, but she ended up getting stuck on the walls. "Aw, man..."

It continued to plaster her to the wall, but stopped, cocking its head. A ringing sounded through the temple, and it screamed, a high-pitched, terrible sound, as a group of Zectroopers filed in. One held a strange weapon in his hands, a massive shoulder-mounted affair looking like a cross between a rocket launcher and a subwoofer.
"Free Sawada, then finish the beast." One of the intel men, a young man dressed in tactical gear but not a Zectrooper outfit. The troopers nodded, and began firing grapnels to the ceiling.

Tomoko struggled to break out, which she shortly managed to do, and began crawling towards where Miko was. "Don't worry, I got you," she said, going for the strand that was keeping her on the ceiling.

Three Zectroopers raised to the ceiling on their grapnel cables, two aiming their guns at Tomoko. "Don't move." One ordered her, as the third cut the strand off, holding the cocoon that was Miko by what remained of the strand as he began lowering back down. "Now, move to the floor slowly and put your hands behind your head." The Zectrooper ordered Tomoko.
The spider ran off into the temple. The Zectrooper with the odd weapon and 4 others gave chase.

Tomoko sighed before complying. "I have my rights, you know," she said. "Exactly what am I being accused with?"

The Zectroopers cut Miko free, and she took a moment to brush her clothing off. "URSA tends to enjoy a monopoly of sorts on heroism. We just want to make sure you're not a threat to us."

"I thought I explained it earlier, I wasn't a threat. I'll help you when I can, but I'm not really a people person."

"We're also not exactly fans of secrets." Miko replied. "We like to know who our allies are so we can keep them safe."

"Well, I'd much rather keep who I am a secret. I already told you more than I should have about myself already."

All of the Zectroopers surrounding her aimed their weapons at her. "We just want to have a friendly conversation, Ms. Yamashiro. No reason to be defensive." Miko was doing her best creepy unemotional g-man impression.

"Says the lady who has a bunch of armed troopers pointed at me. Can I stand? My knees hurt."

Miko nodded. No point in denying her that. After all, she wasn't a prisoner. Guest was the best term.

Tomoko stood up, keeping her hands behind her head. "So tell me, what's not gonna get me shot? I may have a danger sense, but I'll probably still get hurt at this range. I don't think you want that."

"We don't, either. Just cooperate, and we'll get along swimmingly." Miko replied, clasping her hands behind her back.
