Lucia was still rubbing sleep from her eyes as the briefing was relayed. Emergency calls in the early morning were the sort of thing you always prepared for but hoped would never come, but here they were. In the middle of a storm no less. And, to make things even stranger, it seemed there was part of the mission that only Subaru was permitted to handle. Well, Lucia thought to herself, that was a concern that could wait; there were Invaders that needed to die, and people that needed to be saved. Anything and everything else was secondary. 

The side door opened as the aircraft began to hover over the only clear landing platform. The other Strikers were already leaping down, and it wouldn't do for her to fall behind. So, as Maltet hummed to life, Lucia took the jump at a run, leaping straight into the howling wind and the chilling rain. She fanned her legs and arms out, directing her armor to emit quick bursts from her gauntlets and boots as she fell. Each burst both slowed her descent and reacted to the storm trying to push her about, keeping her steadied and on target to land properly. Her feet touched the metal of the landing pad with a thud, but thanks to her vigilance Lucia was none the worse for wear. Her sword ignited as she walked forward, both to make room for the others coming down and to secure a perimeter, and her eyes swept side to side looking for any sign of a welcoming party.
