Assassin As you lay your head down on the creaky floor of the ferry, exhausted from the day's events, you hear a disturbance on the deck above. Your instincts tell you something is very wrong as you get up to investigate. As quietly as you can, you step over the other sleeping bodies around you and make your way to the nearest staircase.
When you get to the top, you conceal yourself behind the wooden wall and inspect the scene before you. You are startled to find that the guard standing watch is nowhere to be found, and a figure in all-black moves towards the staircase closest to her, her bloody knife at the ready.
She is unaware of your presence, it seems, so you start to sneak away, and hope to the Walls that you can find a weapon of some sort.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a figure materialises with what must be ODM gear, although you have never seen anyone move that fast. The woman in black turns around and prepares to engage her enemy, but before she can even pull her hand back for the strike, the scout delivers a swift strike to her arm, and as she shrieks in pain, her severed arm falls to the deck with a sickening crunch.
The scout makes no move to land the final blow, so you assume he wishes to apprehend the assassin. The assassin moves slowly towards the side of the ferry, with the scout keeping pace, sword drawn warningly. "Who sent you? How did you learn about our mission?" Silence. "Look at where you are. Whoever you're working for has abandoned you. Speak now, or suffer unimaginable pain when we torture you."
The assassin's face is covered, but you hear her give a brief snort as she reaches the edge of the ferry. "You truly have no idea what's going on, do you?" she chuckles, and before the scout can respond, she leaps off the ferry. You assume she is trying to commit suicide to avoid being captured, but an instant later, a blinding, yellow flash of lighting obscures your vision, and when you can finally see again, the assassin is gone, replaced by a 15-meter Titan with female features. You stare in disbelief, not just because the woman seems to have transformed into a Titan, but also because she turns around and starts racing towards the nearby forest with incredible speed you did not think would be possible for such a large creature.
At that very moment, the scout prepares to charge after her, but a tall figure ascends from the staircase behind you, and surveys the situation with incredible speed. "Captain Levi, stand down. We don't know enough of our enemy. Giving chase would be suicide." The scout turns towards the new figure, incredulous: "You want me to let a woman who can transform into a Titan escape, Erwin?!" Almost bored, the commander answers back definitively: "Yes."
You suddenly realise who you're looking at. This must be the famed Scout Captain Levi, and his commander, Erwin Smith. Erwin continues as if nothing at all happened. "I investigated the suspect on the ferry. Their story checks out. Let's get out of here." You realise you're about to miss your one shot to get out of here alive, so you step out of the shadows and rush forward. "Wait, please! You cannot leave me here. I was instructed to deliver something of great importance to the Interior, and to Grisha Jaeger." Erwin fixes his gaze on you, and makes a decision in a flash. "Take them with us, Levi. This fits in with what we've learned."
Alright, starting the phase back up.
