[She closes her eyes, pressing her face to Bubblegum's shoulder. Marceline would be happy to stay like that for a while, she thinks, but she nods against her after she speaks.]
Sounds nice. [...wait.] I'm not gonna have to go digging for them, right?

Oh, those!
[ Bonnie breaks from the hug then, leaving one arm over Marceline's shoulder as she looks over the pile of boxes in the corner of the room. The rest of them are stacked in her closet. ]
I labelled all of the boxes, so the perjammers should be in the...
[ ......There are a lot of boxes. She gives Marceline a sheepish smile. ]
Wanna borrow some?

For sure. [ She slides her arm from Marceline's shoulder and out of her seat, moving to open up her closet doors. She pauses just afterward, looking at Marcy over her shoulder. ]
You hungry too? I think we've got some [ counting off on her fingers, ] red peppers, some cranberry juice, and some apples. Those are mine, anyway.

[ The most boring and scientific 50's documentary she can find, duh. When Marceline comes over to her closet, Bubblegum smiles, her brow arched. She closes her closet doors by a few inches. ]
You're gonna go through my closet here too? [ She's probably gone through her closet before back on Ooo, anyway. ]

As you wish, Princess. [ Marceline rolls her eyes and grins, heading through the door. Same basic floor plan as her old house, so she drifts down to the kitchen quickly enough. She opens up the fridge, grabbing some apples and a bottle of cranberry juice, setting them on the counter before starting to open up cabinets and look on shelves for Bubblegum's tea stash and a mug. Wait, right, kettle...
There. Marceline grabs the electric kettle, drawing just enough water for a big mug of tea. Letting that boil...
Ugh nope. Staring at it and pushing it to go faster. Steam rises, the switch flicks, she pulls it off and pours it into the mug over the chai bags. Letting it steep... THERE, FINALLY. Bags out, sugar in. Does she even like it sweet? Surely she does. Whatever, she's overthinking this.
Finally, Marceline comes back in, holding a bowl of fruit with a bottle of juice sitting on top, and a steaming mug of tea.]
We good to go?

We're an organization of imPorts dedicated to policing- and protecting- our own.
We're also loosely affiliated with the American government, which is a mixed blessing- but it does allow us access to intelligence and resources.

Fairly willing. Our leader's worked with them before, which means they're far more willing to trust her- and give her free reign- than they would a lot of other imPorts. If you want government resources without having to take orders, RISE is your best bet. Just- try to have thick skin when dealing with the Major-General. She can be rather... caustic.
[ She at least does herself the favor of dialing back and considering the benefits. ]
This means cooperation, negotiation, and maybe a chance to let this government prepare if this all goes to heck. How much do you think she'd let us run our own search and rescue operation with ONLY- [ pause for emphasis ] -resources and intel from the military?

Look, she can be harsh, but she's not stupid, or needlessly bloodthirsty. If you find her that offputting, let me do the negotiations.
She might demand the right to offer further input, and the right to tell us to back off if it looks like your actions will have larger consequences, or you're interefering with other operations- although having intel should prevent that.
And if I'm leading part of it, then it's technically being led by RISE members. That will make it easier for her to sell to the military.

[ All of the time she's been listening, Bubblegum has been quietly deflating and nodding. ]
So if it's possible, I can be with you and with the Major-General in negotiations with the Department of Defense over here to try and make this an import-led thing. And having both of you means would give it some legitimacy.
Okay. I don't wanna get this planned out before I get both of you on the team first.
Do you know the military? How on-board do you think they'd be with this? Like, what do you think their terms would be?

I'm afraid that while I was in Finland, the majority of my contact with the government has been in Law Enforcement. But the military is always eager to have imPorts help them, and judging by what I saw in Finland they're willing to not supervise us too closely- though if someone abuses that leniency, things would certainly change.
Defs not planning on having anyone abuse it, imPort or no. All I'm interested in is the most non-lethal stealth mission, with the least amount of consequence, you know?
We'd be putting a lot of innocent people in potential danger too. Citizens in general. I know a lot of them hate us already. We should let the government prepare.
