Short Mission 5 (
Summary[]
The chapter introduces Sylvia Sherwood, a handler at WISE, the Westalian Intelligence Services' Eastern-focused Division. She officially acts as an attaché at the Westalis's Embassy in Ostania but commands a corps of intelligence agents, even under strict surveillance by the secret police. Due to her flawless performance under such harsh conditions, she is dubbed the "Fullmetal Lady" by her agents.
Sylvia's disguise to evade her SSS pursuers
Sylvia walks down the street as two SSS agents begin to tail her. She swiftly identifies other people following her in the crowd. She heads for the public pool every Wednesday, maintaining the same clothes, errands, and route to lull the men into a false sense of security. The men tailing her get bored and decide to get something to eat while waiting for her to leave the pool. Sylvia quickly changes into a new set of clothes and a short black wig, leaving the pool without alerting the men.
In her disguise, she meets up with Twilight and briefs him on what they learned from the financial records of Donovan Desmond's partners. As she talks, Loid notices that Sylvia forgot to cut the price tag off her new coat but refuses to point it out to her out of fear.
Loid reports to Sylvia about Anya's achievements
At another time, Loid attempts to meet up with Sylvia and needs to help lose her pursuers. Sylvia looks into a nearby shop window, reflecting Loid, who signals the location of her pursuers. Loid asks if they should cancel through secret communication. Sylvia refuses and tells him to meet at Point C. At the meeting point, Loid reports that Anya can now jump over to vaulting boxes and jump rope five times in a row. Sylvia looks at him as she tells herself that he must be joking.
