Eccentricism: Neither Black, nor White

Caught White-Handed, Showdown between Intellects!
Days ago...

''"You're going to infiltrate the Soul Society's R&D?" Taigen spoke curiously, his eyes trailing across the balcony of the castle-mounted hideout. ''

''"Does that present a problem, Taigen-san?" Manshin asked with a thin smile across his fair complexioned, violet-tattooed face. ''

''"This kind of mission is usually assigned to one of the other Wolkig Ritters. Such as Schatten Zweifel?" Taigen proposed. ''

''"This kind of mission needs someone of both intellect, to know and process the data I'm looking for, as well as martial strength, in the event things go wrong. Lately, the movements of the Gotei 13 have been wravelled in mystery, not to mention kept in further wraps than the previous Soul Reapers we've dealt with in the past. If they're planning something that could compromise the balance our Order, even the more repulsively soft-hearted Quincy Order is trying to accomplish, then all of our prior work will be for naught," Manshin explained within a serious tone. ''

''Taigen sighed, looked over to the dark horizon that was London city in the distance. His breath turned into mist, through the crisp cold weather. When but a few minutes passed, Taigen raised his hand to give his approval, without turning to face him, "Go, Manshin-san. This mission...must be completed immediately!"''

''"But at once, my friend," Manshin smiled with approval, just before his body enraptured into his own shadow, disappearing from sight. ''

The Present...

"The security here is certainly lax," Manshin noted, his body moved past a corridor full of unconscious R&D staff members, walking calmly as he shifted towards the main laboratory, "from what I understand, this Taiga's main lab is where he keeps most of his experiments and data files on anything of interested being studied for the Gotei 13's behalf. If only...ah! Here it is!"

Coming up to a door labeled "Main Laboratory", Manshin slipped through with another bout of Schatten manipulation, entering quietly without issuing any alarms he could see. His eyes began to scan the room for anything of importance, however, the lights were too dim at the moment for him to make out anything.
