Ariin was late, rushing towards Paladin he had just left the medical exam room after what felt like year of prodding and poking. He knew it was all official however, didn't mean he liked being toyed with by doctors. The cyborg boy jumped into Paladin starting up systems quickly as patched into comms. "Uh sorry I'm late, Ariin and Paladin reporting for duty." He spoke getting himself ready and dropping behind the others in a hurry. "I'll be dropping the shield the moment I'm in position on D-9 Pompey systems are green across the board." He added cutting his comms for a moment.

"Shut up!" He hissed to himself, or rather the other part of his brain. Ariin's implant which connected his cybernetic eye to his brain now hosted the personality his former body snatcher had. Which meant he always had someone in his head, backseat driving as it were. However it did help him keep an eye on multiple systems at once as the virtual intelligence was not worth annoyance at least currently. "I swear if you keep this up I will become a damn cyclops just to get rid of you!" He told his head mate, before turning on comms back on.

"Deploying Legion shield at D-9, if you need cover I'm here." Spoke the young man as dropped the shield letting it fold out in to a protective bastion as he laid the massive canon a top it. Readying himself for whatever was coming, the young man took a moment to send a short message to Zim. He coughed and then turned on button to record the message, not wanting a live conversation.

"Look, I've been gone awhile and I probably need a refresher on whatever the hell I missed while I was gone. All I know is that Elora is here and were going to save her. I couldn't stop that damn thing from taking her, and now we get a chance to find her." He stopped a moment fumbling with his the coin he kept at his side. "And when this is over you, me, and Roger need drinks you can catch me up on all the shit I missed. Hell I'll even buy... Or well five finger discount." He told Zim before sending the message.
