Yorick started whistling, rather bored.
"Hmm...Can you ask if the doors have been locked on blocked in some way? I might be able to sneak in and have a look around." Seras said to EMily.

EMily relayed to the officers Seras' question regarding the blocked doors.
She gathered some more energy for fifteen seconds. It would be hard to do without Photon form, but her tool should be capable of doing it. She positioned herself like a knight standing straight up with their sword pointed upwards.
"Here goes nothing. I haven't tried this in a while with Photon."
She sent the energy into Photon, and in a 'woosh' like sound, she disappeared. Photon was acting as a cloaking device, allowing incoming light on EMily to be emitted on the opposite side of her.

the officer said in response to Seras' query. The gathered police officers reacted to EMily vanishing with varying degrees of surprise and awe.
"Hmm, do you really want to go in EMily? Might be dangerous." Seras said, more than aware of how bad this situation could turn out.
"Seras, he says that they haven't gotten close enough to test the doors. If you're willing, I will go with you. I'll try to see the best I can with the cloaking on. We can call in the special units once we've located a good entrance to come in from."
Eating a trail through the high grasses, the bug stopped momentarily when it found an African giant land snail. Turning to face the snail, the bug brought its head closer to it and felt at it with its palps, recoiling a little when it found the palp sticking to the snail's slime-covered skin. Deciding that this wasn't something it wanted to put in its mouth, the bug clacked its mandibles and moved on.
A few minutes after moving, the bug stopped again, picking up a two scents that it didn't recognise, and began following the trail. After a few paces, it copied the scent, but then stopped again and reflected on how poorly this trick had worked the last time. After a moment of thinking, it instead copied the smell of the surrounding plantlife, then moved on, also moving at a signifficantly lower pace.
A few paces more, and the source of one of the scents came into sight; A genet, a small cat-like creature in appearance, with a spotted coat, and a tail almost as long as the rest of the body. It had its head pointed down as it fed on something, what it was feeding on being the source of the second smell, although the bug couldn't see what from where it stood.
The bug creeped up to the genet until it was in striking range, then lowered itself to the ground more, and lunged at the genet with its mandibles wide open. The genet shrieked as the bug came down on, it biting down on the genet's hind leg and clamped down on it. Rather then wrestle it to the ground, however, the bug extened two needle-thin fangs in its mouth, located above where the two lower mandibles were. Piercing the genet's flesh with the fangs, the bug injected a neurotoxin, then waited for the envenomation to take effect. The genet struggled for a time, biting and clawing at the bug as best as it could from the angle, landing a few blows that damaged its exoskeleton, but soon started to succumb to the poison and began convulsing.
At this point, the bug released the genet, knowing it wasn't going anywhere now, and instead looked to the second scent, it coming from the body of a black-tailed scorpion. Biting it into managable pieces, the bug ate it first, then looked back to the genet, who by now had died ot respitory failure. Clacking its mandibles happily, the bug ate the genet too. Having eaten its fill after this, the bug moved a few paces from where it stood, then dug a hole, crawled inside, and cocooned itself.

"Well, okay. If things go bad, use that invisibility of yours to get out. I can handle myself...mostly." Seras said to EMily with a resolute look, though she smiled a bit at the end. Yorick handed Seras the same kind of silenced sub-machine gun from before, and a kukri knife. She accepted both gladly.
"Alright." Seras said as she started to move. She didn't really want to use the main entrance, so she started looking for side entrances. Preferably one that would let her see inside the building before entering.
"If you can cloak yourself or good at stealth, help us find an entrance so we can handle the hostage situation. Otherwise, wait until the special units arrive." She said to Stanley, still cloaked. She followed up closer to Seras, who was stopped by the police officer.
"Well, yeah, but I'm more experience with this sort of thing. I used to be a police officer after all...Uh, tell him that please, EMily." Seras said.
