Riisha #802

When the Panda Council declared all unsanctioned technology heresy, Riisha had already spent a season learning from Pinku. As a noble of The Great Panda City, they were supposed to master the tea ceremony, not temporal distortion fields. Pinku, finding the situation deeply amusing, installed their most advanced surveillance suite into the most disarming object imaginable: Riisha’s apple stick. During a tense negotiation, a Teikodian envoy boasted of their secure datapad. Riisha simply took a loud, crunchy bite of their apple, and a quiet click from the stick downloaded every coded message. Everyone dismissed it as an uncouth chewing sound. The city's most effective operative is hidden not behind a mask, but behind the crunch of a mid-afternoon snack.
