Bug sighed as he mentally made calculations of what to expect. Overall not a bad situation. Manageable. Although he had wished he would have gotten more teammates he had spent time with him.

"Well, seniors." Bug said before approaching Ava and Minerva."I will be in your care- What the hell is that [i] old clanker doing!??[/i]" He let out, so surprised he could not even describe it politely, as he watched with mild horror how a dreaded Steel Raven chose to act up. Those Lilim models never failed to make Bug shiver, although he reined in his temper but for the slightlest tremble on his hand.
