Alright, we've reached our destination. This is the place.
Huh?
What's the deal? I thought we were going to some creepy place called the Maggot's Nest. This is Squad 2's barracks grounds.
You've heard of the Stealth Force, haven't you, Lieutenant Hiyori?
The Stealth Force? Well, of course I have. It's your old unit, Kisuke. And stop trying to change the subject!
The Stealth Force is quite unique. It's an organization whose origins are separate from the 13 Court Guard Squads.
As one of the four great noble families who possess incredible Soul Reaper powers, the Shihoin clan serves as the supreme commander of this force.
And whenever the head of the Shihoin clan also becomes a captain of one of the 13 Court Guard Squads, that squad invariably forms a close association with the Stealth Force.
What, do they merge or something?
Almost. Yoruichi, who is the current supreme commander, also serves as captain of Squad 2.
That means the current Stealth Force is an organization pretty much under the direct control of Squad 2.
The Stealth Force is divided into five units, and each unit leader is also a seated officer of Squad 2.
I was the leader of the Confinement Unit.
You mean you were a yard hack.
I think a more accurate term would have been "prison guard."
My main duties at that time were to confine and keep watch over anyone who committed punishable offenses within the Seireitei.
Main duties? What, are you trying to sound like you had more to do than that?
Yes. The Confinement Unit had another duty you may not have heard about. We trained and deployed Special Confinement Officers.
Their job was a little more complex. They were to investigate, keep under surveillance, and if necessary, apprehend any Soul Reapers within the 13 Court Guard Squads...
...whose ideas and actions could put other Soul Reapers at risk, or create an obstruction to the performance of the squad's duties.
What are you saying?
You're very confusing when you talk! Can't you find a simple way to say things?!
Alright, here it is in a nutshell. Our job was to catch and lock up dangerous elements within the 13 Court Guard Squads.
The facility where we put them is located here, in Squad 2's barracks.
Here it is. The Underground Confinement Station, also known as the Maggot's Nest.
