Rio was starting to regret the entire situation more by the second, seeing as her new team leader had made a fool of himself in public. She honestly wondered if she was better off cancelling this entire idea, but her pride wouldn't allow it. She wasn't planning on turning tail and running just because she felt slightly uncomfortable. Rio still didn't pay any mind to Gurevich and instead watched Laudat walk over the bar to grab himself a cup of coffee. It was something she regretted, as it was an incredibly dull sight.

[color=94ffad]"I suppose I can shave off a bit of time,"[/color] Rio spoke. Her head was still turned away when she said it, but it whipped back towards them as soon as she was finished.

[color=94ffad]"Shouldn't we get at least a little acquainted with each other's GEARs and form a general strategy, however? Jumping straight into combat, even against a machine, seems a little... reckless."[/color] she chimed in. Considering how aggressive the team is, going in blind would be the mechanical equivalent of suicide. Or at least that's how Rio sees it. For all she knows their all-mighty 'leader' might be intent on ranking last this year.
