[ A rather serious-looking man with brown hair tipped with blond appears on the feed and salutes. ]

Kyosuke Nanbu. Steel Battalion ATX Team Leader, Callsign Assault 1. I am here on exchange from Caldera. I look forward to working with you all.

[ Drapped over his shoulders is a very busty blond? How busty, exactly? You tell her, she's certainly not making any moves to hide her figure. ]

Wow, Kyosuke I never thought you'd be the mysterious type. I think I like you even more now~

Hihi, I'm Excellen Browning, ATX's Assault 2, also here from Caldera. You can call me Big Sis Excel, if you want. Or anything else you can come up with, I don't mind~

We're looking for something fun to do around the city. I heard you Unionites have some interesting stuff to keep you busy. Maybe we can find something that even stiff-lipped Assault 1 here can enjoy.

[ She looks away from the feed and toward him. ]

What do you do for fun anyway, Kyosuke?

Fun?

[ Kyosuke seems to consider this for a moment, looking a bit puzzled. ]

I'm not sure.

[ She gives him a very tired look. It's like they've done this song and dance before, more than a few times. ]

You need to think about your appeal, Kyosuke. If ladies don't think you're any fun, then they won't be interested.

Why is that a problem?

It's a big problem!

I don't understand...

Kyosuke, listen here--

[ And she cuts the feed, likely to lecture him about the inner workings of sex appeal. Or something. ]

[ACTION; EXCELLEN ONLY]

[ A few miles outside of Union, within the Verdant Forest, the sound of gunfire can be heard. Avian pokemon scatter as the sound rings through the air, and while they aren't aimed at anything in particular, a few dying trees appear to be riddled with bullet holes.

To the casual observer, it's hard to pick up which direction shots will be fired from. A streak floats by, then, suddenly, a barrage of bullets hit. Yet, despite the wide array of wildlife in this area, nothing living seems to be affected. Whoever is practicing here has quite the sharp eye.

If one stays long enough, they might catch a glimpse of the mystery sniper. A woman. Relatively tall, her long, curly blond hair tied into a ponytail. She holds a rather interesting weapon with her, which she'll occasionally lean against a nearby tree to pick up any stray bullet shells. ]

Wartortle. They're a type of Water Pokémon, evolved from Squritle.

Then just call it an excuse to try and get him drunk and find out what happens?

[Sorry Kyosuke. Excellen's antics are much to fun to stop- especially since he's far enough out of her range.]

I'll head that way then.

[You are a liar.]

And you haven't been curious in the slightest? Really? That's...actually kinda sad. Like, they aren't going to just leave you alone if you stick your head in the ground.

That's me! I know at least one of Dad's old war buddies is running around out here, too.

[She grins.] Hopefully he wasn't too annoying, I know he has a terrible sense of humor and he can be a giant pest! Or if he was, uh, y'know, sins of the father don't pass on to the daughter, yada yada.

I've tried. He doesn't get drunk.

[ Stupid typing shenanigans ruining all her fun. ]

[ Gonna punish her, Lucca? ]

Most of my attention has been on other ways of keeping people safe.

She's still a lady. You've got to treat her with respect.

She is the girliest person I've ever met!

[Absolutely. And...out she goes.]

You say that like I haven't been to war twice now.

[There's a smirk in her voice.]

You picked an exciting time to show up, Excelly.

[Excellen was, at best, an acquaintance of Elka's. She could probably have counted their conversations on the fingers of one hand. She would normally have probably just ignored this post.

But since Excellen had brought a very handsome (if a bit oblivious) man with her, she suddenly felt obliged to catch up with old times.]

Wow what a catch. Where'd you find him?

[Can Kyosuke hear her talking about him? Probably.]

...Right. [ half-moan half-I-did-this-to-myself-by-the-gods. Raw, unadulterated agony ripples permeates his voice and his muffled by a hand. ] I should have known you'd be literal. People always are when you least expect it.

[ He recollects himself. The words unmuffled once more. ]

I take it you're pretty good at dodging words.

[Isabela definitely appreciates the view, such as there is.]

Once again I wonder why I didn't wash up in Caldera. Other than that being physically impossible. If nothing else, you all dress far more sensibly.

I hope you didn't bring the rest of the unit with you. Union will think we're trying to take over at this rate.

[ Well, the Major General looks a little different than he used to, but not by too much. He certainly seems less tightly wound than when he was in uniform. ]
