[Well now, this is a surprise.]

Rory Donnachaidh, correct?

[Jade smiles, easy and polite as he approaches Rory. Last time, he had been content to allow Erwin to interrogate the man.]

[But Erwin isn't with them today, and he doesn't trust his Rangers to maintain their cool when speaking with Rory.]

I don't believe we've met before. I'm Jade Curtiss, one of the Rangers from the Union.

[He won't waste time on small talk.]

Am I to assume your presence here means the whole of Team Evolution has decided to take an active role in things? Or are you acting independently?

[Caldera's situation is serious, yes, but he's more interested in Team Evolution's allegiances and what that might mean for the Union's future.]
