***********Authors Note*****
The following is from Bali's perspective, starting from when the automated message was sent from the Ionova Turtle House.
***************
The top floor of HQ, also known as the Bird's nest, consisted of a single large bedroom and bathroom. Initially, it was claimed by Bali, but a second troublemaker moved in shortly after that. It was comfortably decorated and featured a custom made bunk bed, most likely the only one in Colonial.
On the bottom bunk slept a dark-skinned woman, her disheveled hair spread out on the white pillowcase. She wore black silk pajamas and slept peacefully with a devilish smile on her face. On the top bunk was a dhassi woman, she looked much younger when she slept. Pinned to the wall next to her were two hand-sketched portraits, 'Captain Locas' and 'Guild Leader Nix.' The artist showed remarkable talent and had signed both with a large "B."
