ㅤㅤunable to help the feeling of being offended , Claire actively tried to steady her breaths as they deepend. she didn't like the tone from @thespyinred , the way she called terrasave a ' kumbaya singing group '. Claire had heard it all before , of course , so many people didn't take the organization seriously until they needed them. usually Claire could live without taking the digs to heart , but it was Ada. she didn't want to be written off by Ada , even if it wasn't personal to her only to her job.
ㅤㅤat the rejection that Claire knew was going to happen , she felt both disappointment and relief. she knew that she wouldn't be happy if she'd had to work alongside Ada , knowing full well a conversation about their mutual friend might irk the brunette. on the other hand , though , Claire couldn't honestly deny the spy's espionage. Ada was very talented , if not sincere.
ㅤㅤbefore she could bring herself to respond , however , the spy continued with her comment about a charitable act. the entire exchange made her uneasy , and she couldn't tell if it was simply because of the threat to terrasave's members or because of the vibes she was getting from Ada. " YOU KNOW HOW TO GET AHOLD OF ME. " was her only response as she watched the other woman saunter over to the back exit of the hardware store. she was mysterious , that much was obvious , and part of her could understand the allure that held Leon in a chokehold , but that realization put the younger Redfield in a sour mood.
ㅤㅤafter debriefing with Neil and several other members of terrasave about her meeting with Ada , Claire began looking into the thumb drive that she'd been provided. Ada hadn't been lying , there were clear cut plans for a bombing to take place at the next terrasave rally ― including a hit list of sorts , members' names that seemed to be the clear targets. Claire's name wasn't on the list , a fact that brought on a pain in her chest. of course she didn't want to be on the list , but these people were her friends ― her family even.
ㅤㅤother than the list of names and a general outline of the plan , there were several encrypted files with names seemingly related to B.O.W.s. files were labeled ; ' t ― abyss ' , ' t ― 011 TALOS ' , and ' bandersnatch '. she enlisted the help of other members of terrasave to attempt to decrypt the information , but before they could break in , she was pressured by Neil to reach out to their unwilling teammate.
