Military men

In the town of Ohana, there lies a United States military base in it's north west corner. The base is naturally stockpiled with military weaponry including tanks, fighter jets, machine guns, missiles, and whatever other weapons both experimental or not the military has hidden within those locked steel doors. The base extends deep underground, giving it lots of storage space and allowing more than 100,000 troops to reside in it. Though the military is aware of the fact that they're in another world, they've yet to make any grander move aside from sending Thorwall out for diplomatic relations.

...

Muki shook her head in frustration as she stood before the gates to the base. This was the one place in town she had no cameras at, nor a place she could sneak into with a proxy. This meant she'd have to go in by herself, which was nerve wracking for a multitude of reasons. Yet for the safety of the town, she had no choice. 

After stating her credentials and reason for her visit, Muki was patted down before being led inside to a visitor area with a bulletproof glass wall, reminiscent of a prison visiting area. She had made sure to leave her phone in the car, mainly to avoid it being confiscated by the military, but that meant she'd be out of contact with everyone, and unable to call for help. Naturally, she had a secret backup plan, but only if things went real far south. 

"You will be allowed to wait for 30 minutes. If the general decides not to show, you'll be kicked out," the guard stated. 

"I'm just asking for a simple meeting with your commander," Muki snarled.

"Standard procedure. The general doesn't like to be bothered with civilian complaints." 

"You'll only be getting a complaint if I can't talk with the bastard in charge about defending the town from the goblins!"

On the other end of the glass, a bearded man clad in sunglasses and a uniform decorated with medals entered the room and marched up to the glass. This was General Vito Gorm, the base's top commander. He was infamous for his trigger-happy attitude, but clearly had the chops needed to be a commander given the fact that he was a general. 

"Who's this goth girl? Someone's kid here?" Gorm asked.

"She claims to be the daughter of the mayor of the town," a soldier stated. 

"Not one of ours then. Take her out."

"I'm here to talk defense, you idiot!" Muki fumed. 

"You're talking back to me!? We can marshal you with a little haircut if you keep that up!" the man fumed.

"Too bad, I got no hair left to cut," Muki smirked as she threw down her hood and removed her wig, revealing her bald head. "Now are you aware that we only have a few hours until nightfall and the goblin raid?"

"You think we've been living under a rock!? We've got eyes and ears everywhere! We're the only guys here that can defend this place."

"Where were you last night?"

"Top secret meeting." 

"My mother contact you at all?"

Gorm's gaze narrowed, yet he remained silent. The military was aware of Muki's cameras strewn about town as well as her microchipping habit. While they had naturally taken precautionary measures for themselves when exiting base, they were unable to hack into any of Muki's cameras, nor were they allowed to mess with the one just outside their base, as the law forbid them from tampering with city property which the cameras were classified under. This meant Muki could see who came in and out of the base. 

"No, she didn't come by physically," Gorm finally admitted. 

"I knew that. How about over the phone? Any defense coordination? She claims she's got a plan in place, but it's probably something half-baked and lacking in reality. That's why I want to confirm with you that things are in place, otherwise we need to form a defense plan on the spot."

"And what's your idea for that?"

Muki leaned in close to the speaker, and revealed what action she had seen from around town, forming a feasible hypothesis as to what Machiko's plan could entail. 

"It covers the air, but the ground game is where it's lacking. And it's just goblins we gotta deal with?" Gorm asked. 

"There's reports of laser-shooting wombats on the north end, but they take long to charge their blasts and can be killed easily. Other than that, the goblins and their rides are all I know about. Oh, there might also be a giant kangaroo out there that can strip off all your flesh like a piranha."

"You forgetting anything else!?"

"One final thing; you're aware my mother has married an elf, yes? I don't trust that elf or her companion, so keep your state secrets secret from them and everyone else too except me."

"Little shit. I'm not stupid. Our classified intel will remain classified and not be shared with any outside parties including you."

"Thought I'd try."

"Now get out. Oh, but first tell us more about that chrome dome of yours."

"What about it? I shaved my head. That's that."

"Then why're our signals jamming it? You get a new fancy smancy implant or something?"

"If I said yes, and that it's not much better than the old one, would you let me go?"

Gorm waved his hand and stormed away, indicating Muki was free to leave. 

Once she was outside and back in her car, Muki let out all the tension she had bottled up with a heavy sigh. "That was not fun in the slightest, but fucking necessary. Now what do I do? Jenna isn't back yet with the delegation, but probably will be soon. I guess I could just hang out in town. I don't feel like facing Yamane yet." 

...

In a shady back alley, Monika angrily kicked a brick as she stared at her phone. "That bitch! She took it down in seconds! I can't believe the gall of her! Erika... She had Erika chipped... Was she controlling her back when we met up!? Maybe, maybe, no, the tone was different, Muki's a bad actor. But she clearly knew I saw that deal with the "orcs". AH! I need a real partner, dammit!"

"Partner? You like me, mate?" a voice called out.

Monika turned to notice a nervous Piranharoo hopping towards her, frantically darting his head back in forth. 

"A kangaroo? Are you Australian?"

"Yeah mate, they call me Piranharoo here, but my real name's Steve Dundee."

"Steve Dundee!? The koala hunter that was killed by a manta ray!?" 

"I wasn't killed mate, the government got me n' shoved syringes into me, turning me into a kangaroo! They then shoved me in some pod n' I've been in this strange world ever since."

"So the VR theory is true. Do you know how to get out?"

"Maybe. Some "Muki"'s said to have some master switch on her. I figure we get that, we can get ourselves out."

Monika began to grin as she shook Piranharoo's paw. "Then lets finally get rid of that spoiled shit."

And in his mind, Piranharoo grinned wider. "Me bullshitting actually worked. No idea who Steve Dundee is, but thanks to the act, I've got an insurance plan in case the gobbers somehow fuck up. Tonight's gonna be a hell of a show," he thought.
