When Unten and Oben would arrive at the private laboratory, they'd be greeted by a rather lanky, distressed looking scientist, with square glasses on his face, which he was constantly adjusting. Clutching a clipboard, the man adjusted his glasses once more, and began to speak to the two Jounin to whom this mission had been assigned.

"Dasu Unten, and Dasu Oben, right? It's an honour to meet such prestigious, upstanding ninja. Well, I'll put the pleasantries aside for now; that isn't what we're here for. No, what we're standing here for is the current situation at hand... Kushina has been kidnapped... By those gorillas. It's unthinkable what they could be doing to her," he said, struggling to hold back tears. It was clear that this woman meant something to him. "But, we now have you to go after them. Here, take this," before carrying on, he handed the two a map and carrying on, "this is where our expedition team managed to track the gorillas to. That's about as much as I can do, other than telling you that these gorillas are highly intelligent and dangerous animals, with immense strength and wit. Please, do your best to rescue my Kushina." As he finished, he signalled for the two to leave him, trying to save face in front of the ninja.

Unten and Oben had arrived at the laboratory a few minutes ahead of time and were promptly greeted, which they had done their normal introductions, leading to the scientist's monologue, which they nodded the way through. Taking the map in hand, they inspected it a bit. The map wasn't anything to what they were normally like, being Eidolons, but it was usable. With the map in hand, they left the building, checking to see how far they would have to travel to see how to set up.

As the Oben twins would reach their location, they'd be greeted by a team of suited and booted scientists who stood in front of a cordoned off area. They all held weapons, and wore full body protection suits. Behind the 'barricade', was a vast expanse of forestry, complete with trees and plants and other animals. It was an artificial one, built by the scientists who had requested the mission. Once the greeting were done, the team leader stepped forward to talk to the twins, briefing them on the mission before them.

"So, are you guys ready to do this?" He asked, beckoning for one of his fellow scientists to join the trio. "This here is Aoi," he continued, pointing to the small man who had just joined them, who in turn bowed courteously. "He'll be your guide through the forest, and will lead you to the gorilla. Any questions?"

(OOC: In the mission request, it said 'the' scientist. Is it Aoi? I'm going to assume it is.)

Unten and Oben, hand in hand, nodded. "Only one. Would it be okay with Aoi," Oben said, turning to the guide, "if we fused with his body? It would allow us the group to seem as a much less threatening being, along with keeping our numbers hidden."

The twins' question was a weird one for Aoi. Throughout his life, Aoi had always tried to maintain a good degree of space around him, both physically and emotionally, due to him being afraid of getting hurt. However, in this situation, he was being asked to quite literally share his space. It was a daunting thought, but, summoning the professionalism that he had learnt throughout his years, he hesitantly replied to the suggestion with a feeble nod of his head, followed up by an almost mute yes. He then waited for the two to do what they needed to, squeezing his eyes shut and sticking his arms out as though they were supposed to try and fuse to him through his arms. He had no idea of how they'd do it, and so had just made a guess. Well, more of a 'preferred fusing point'. In truth, Aoi would've preferred for the twins to fuse to his arms. At least that way his heart was still safe.
