Anyhow...

The Purple-Ops managed to sneak their way into Venom City via HyperTech's airplane (Edgellie and Squidkiller hid in Inkwells while the rest just simply hid inside the luggage). Then they went undercover in the city in order to find the arms dealers in the city. They eventually do find the dealers in a back alley and the dealers, while greeting the Purple-Ops in a friendly way, immediately pulled their guns at them when they noticed that they are accompanied by a couple of, who they call, "Squid people." As it turns out, they also discriminate Inklings and Octolings, as they believe that they are inferior. Maria easily takes advantage of this, telling them that she hates Inklings just as much as them, they have to work together since they're forced to. She eventually convinces the arms dealers to stand down (while requesting her to have Edgellie and Squidkiller out of their sights) and they hand her a file containing the blueprints to the botany plant and tell her that their weapons reserve is on the third floor of their base. Then, they threateningly tell her that they don't want to see her with her Inkling friends on their turf again before letting them into their base.
