[color=goldenrod]“Oh. Oh yeah! Right, right, you’re fucking right. You’re one of those other teams,”[/color] was R.R.’s reply. She nodded along as Akari began introducing each girl one by one. When she finished off with herself, pointing to indicate who she was, R.R. grinned wider with teeth shown off. She shuffled in place, as if wagging an invisible tail. [color=goldenrod]“Right, right. I’ve seen you around sometimes. Don’t much talk to you but you must be the other teams for those…sensor things. That’s fucking great!”[/color]

Then Lucia spoke up and R.R. turned to her. She held the other Striker’s gaze curiously for a second more before answering. [color=goldenrod]“Ehh…uh, well…I kind of chased off the first fucking Invader I saw and…got separated?”[/color] R.R. scratched at her hair sheepishly from the meek response. It had been a rookie mistake, one no doubt the higher ups would complain about, let alone Riyame. Especially Riyame. [color=goldenrod]“I’m pretty sure Riyame’s looking for me but I don’t wanna be yelled at. So, I can just fucking stick around with you guys! That way I’m not slacking!”[/color]

R.R. glanced at Akari for confirmation if that was alright, only to hesitantly look between Lucia and Kuni. Come to think of it, she didn’t know who the leader of Team Novae even was and who to address here. But it hardly mattered since, in her mind, she had already been accepted for her offer. [color=goldenrod]“I can even show you the closest sensor too! I think I spotted it on my way here. But just to be sure, we should follow your Linker. Er, which one of you’s that again?”[/color]

As she said this, the distant sound of gunshots rang out in the forest. A flock of birds that had been nestling in the trees up high scattered and squawked as the sound of bullets disturbed their rest. Only another Gunner could give off such a loud opening call and R.R. wondered if it was her teammate or another team. Regardless, it wasn’t her battle to leap into anymore.

Despite the sudden appearance of R.R. and combat, Team Novae weren’t that much far off from their designated target. A bit sidetracked of course, but it would take the team no less than a few minutes made up quickly. If they chose to move along, the sensor would appear in view in no time. If there were Invaders about, they had either moved on to other locations or had already been dealt with by Team Chaotix.
