The mission's very hush-hush. Victor would like the details to remain on his ship, thank you.
Suffice it to say there's an aristocratic sort of fellow whose mansion houses an item he would very much like to possess. Victor normally doesn't carry out land robberies but he's willing to make an exception for this.
And the owner of said mansion is holding a fancy schmancy ball. Victor has ordered Mina to attend. Never mind how he got ahold of the invitation or whether it came from someone who had been going but is currently relaxing at the bottom of the harbor.
No, obtaining an invite was easy. The problem is that Mina, like Victor, is a salty pirate whose looks, speech and manners are far too rough for high society.
Well then, there's only one thing for it: a makeover.
The frilly dress covers most of her scars and judicious combing of her fur hides the rest. A corset(!) firms up that rugged figure. And last but not least, an artificial eye commissioned from expert Venetian glassblowers. That cost Victor a pretty penny so she better not mess this up.
Meanwhile Mina's misery is only matched how ridiculous she looks. She hates "girly" clothing on the best of days!
The dress and corset would be bad enough but then came Victor's "etiquette lessons." A lady must have grace and poise. Stand up straight. Quit stomping your feet. Remember to curtsy. Say "please" and "thank you." Don't spit.
She has to bury her frustration because she doesn't need to be told these things. She knows how to be a "lady" in two dozen different time periods, including this one. Posing as some upper class twit was almost her plan of attack for getting into Victor's clutches!
Mina can't let him know that, though. It would blow her cover. So for the time being she has to pretend for his sake to be an uncouth bumpkin who can't recognize cutlery and only ever drank alcohol out of wooden flagons.
She cannot wait until she gets to turn this presumptuous cat into green glop but HQ insists on seeing where this is all going first (speaking of presumptuous cats, no doubt Johann is munching on popcorn and calling people over to the holoterminal).

Ah, Victor's open eye looking right at Mina's glass eye, while she is having a mad-on!
That raises questions about whether he really "forgot" Mina by the time of that tavern scene, and what other encounters Victor has had with the timecops.
Victor in some ways reminds me of the Joker -- maybe not a super gadgeteer, but he can understand how other people think at a deep level and has an unexpectly good knowledge of medicine.
