[b]Conference Room, City Hall, Municipality of Lubao, Pampanga Province, Philippines - 1/1/2023, 8:40 AM, UTC+8[/b]

Nil was admittedly asleep through the entire meeting, dreaming of beds, seas of saccharine stuff and the color blue… for some reason. Her companions probably believe anything could happen and she’d still be sleeping, well until someone literally crashed the meeting with an explosion (good thing she put her muffs on!). That did wake up Nil, just about.

She observed the entire situation initially with confusion, Task Force Obsidian was scrambling to fight or evacuate, Jin Li was shocked and here for some reason (Nil didn’t hear his speech) and some unknown girl with a big ass shield was standing there… menacingly.

To anyone observing Nil a little (Peony too if you want), they’d see her still groggily waking up and stretching with basically no awareness of the situation.

Peony cleared her throat. “…Um… There’s a lot of civilians around. To evacuate, I mean. W-We’ll need at least twenty.” She said in fluent Chinese.

[color=f7941d]“Myron, get on the airwaves, now,”[/color] Callie said at a volume only a few degrees from a shout. [color=f7941d]”We can’t evacuate a municipality in ten minutes but we can get anyone moving who isn’t and keep it from turning to chaos. Someone else, I need everyone in the building who isn’t fighting – get them here in three minutes for evac.”[/color]

Callie turned to the rest of them. [color=f7941d]“A-Rank Arms Master. Highly resistant to physical and mental effects; uses small arms and agility as complements.  Her shield stores people it touches to gain their knowledge and capabilities. No telling what the PRC’s armed her with, besides an unknown flight-adjacent power and some kind of meteor-calling. She has one suspended under her control over the Hall, half-molten, a dozen metres wide. There may be others.”[/color]

[color=f7941d]“Sergeant Janssens, you’re our best direct response to the target but we need to get you close fast enough so she can’t react with her shield or stolen powers. Preliminary proposal is you, Cristina, or me. Anything to slow or pin her would be an ideal accompaniment.”[/color] Callie clenched her jaw. [color=f7941d]“We also need someone who can neutralise the giant rock. I can shred it but that doesn’t solve the weight or the heat.”[/color]

At first Nil thought it was just that new girl on the other side of the crater that was saying meaningless words, then Callie started to talk and Nil completely lost track of it. She just stared blankly as if Callie was blabbering in ancient sumerian, so Nil decided to just walk away from this mess.

[color=92278f]”We have this."[/color] Cristina spoke as the Mirage Space emerged and trapped the Boar with her and her allies.

And immediately an imaginary yet very solid wall appeared in front of Nil and she inadvertently smacked her head on it in a comical fashion. Guess she’s in here too.
