[b]Interactions:[/b] Nakamura Yui ([@Burger])[/center][hr]

Raphel was pleasantly surprised to see that Nakamura Yui had offered to deliver the final blow and, while both the similarities and the differences were highly distinctive between the two plans, it turned out that allowing Yui to go through with her own was ultimately the correct call. Raphel watched intently as Yui decimated the enemy that stood before the humans, cleaving its body completely in half.

He waited until the invader no longer showed signs of even the slightest twitch, before going in between both halves of the cadaver and kneeling down to make his examination. He didn't have the expertise to determine what [i]exactly[/i] to make of it, but one thing was clear.

[color=7dd203]"Ah, so the enemies we're dealing with are biological as [i]well[/i] as mechanical in nature,"[/color] he deduced, [color=7dd203]"The latter would explain a lot in terms of the actions and reactions they've taken, but there's more about them that we've yet to account for..."[/color]

Regardless, at least now he'd know what needed to be done should he and his team were to ever encounter such a creature again, and that was victory enough. Updating the file that he wanted to send to Lt. Mako, Raphel got back up and found himself looking over towards Yui's sword, evidently curious of it. As someone who'd originally attempted to apply as a Striker himself, he could appreciate the effort that each applicant would have to go through in order to be truly effective. He approached the girl.

[color=7dd203]"You must be Yui, correct? Do you mind if I try to get a feel for your weapon?"[/color] Raphel asked politely.
