Sparks had to raise an eyebrow as Astolfo neatly proposed what he himself had been thinking.  Analyzing the frequencies jammed to find a hole they could use to communicate was a priority.  The man knew his stuff -- a surprise for one who was apparently also royalty.  [color=lightskyblue]"Sure, we can try to bypass the Electric Dragonfly's jamming.  Once that's done, I'll work on hacking Sleeping Thunder -- if Aurora is distracted by having to combat a takeover of her frame, she won't be focusing on taking out our frames, and hopefully that will provide an opening for the rest of you."[/color]

Once Elora was released from Stella's grip, and Team Apple gathered together in an adjacent room, Rhylaen listened to the others talk.  She didn't have much to contribute -- tactics was not her strong suit.  The new pilot -- Jake, he said his name was -- pulled up the data for his frame, and she gave it a look.  Angel Zero was versatile, able to wield just about any weapon it could find, according to the files.  But the pilot himself hadn't taken off his helmet.  She wondered if he was shy.

Her free hand curled into a fist as Griff again mocked her, though at least this time he didn't call her a bug.  His offhand apology almost made it worse.  Rhylaen took a deep breath and let it go for the moment.  Now wasn't the time to be fighting with her teammates.
