After all, the mood didn’t seem to be that great, and Mavis generally took to the mission of keeping the spirits high whenever she could. Sadly, it looked like she wouldn’t have much time to do so, given the briefing and their following arrival at their destination.

[color=de3163]"Come on, just when I was about to get to the best part,"[/color] she said in a dejected voice with her shoulders slumping in disappointment. [color=de3163]"But well, I guess there’s nothing we can do, right team?"[/color] She said following Mila to the landing area, after securing the batteries as well as some standard supplies in a backpack.

[color=de3163]"You are going to stay in the command center, right Subaru? We will be trusting our backs to you again,"[/color] Mavis said, smiling, as she looked back at their third partner before patting Mila in the back to emphasize her point.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Indeed,"[/color] Subaru replied in her usual drowsy voice, after spending most of the journey either fiddling with one of the command consoles or sleeping while using Neptune as a body pillow. [color=cornflowerblue]"Nep will be with you… so there’s nothing to worry about,"[/color] her voice came out of the drone’s speakers as it hovered to the side of her companions.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Our first objective is… one and a half kilometers to the Northwest. I can get you more or less a third of the way with the visual input from the console, but you’ll have to walk from there onwards,"[/color] Subaru said as she created as a portal popped up in existence in front of her Neptune. [color=cornflowerblue]"I detect two low-level signatures close to your arrival point. You can decide whether or not to engage since you’ll be coming out right in the middle of a crossroads,"[/color] she added before going silent or perhaps, dozing off. Who knows?

As soon as they were ready, Mavis crossed the portal, ready to intercept any potential ambushes while they decided how to proceed.[hr]
