[ For the most part, Excellen had been disappointed by this whole expedition. After hearing so much about Union's Crazy Caves™, she expected something more... exotic, maybe? She knew that it had been an exaggeration. ]

The least they could've done is make whatever it is down here easy to find.

[ She was hardly grumbling as much as she was making conversation, her hands rested behind her head. Trailing behind the taller man, she kept a watch of his back.

Excellen saw the cavern change a few seconds after Hayato did. The sudden, artificial light hurt her eyes, and she raised a hand to shield them. Lowering it, she too stopped. ]

Hayato, what are you...

[ Her words trail off, and she takes a step back. Perfect weapon? This lab...

Hadn't Hayato disappeared for a while? No one quite knew where he went, they just assumed he was KIA. She was surprised to see him in Union, in fact; but she was beginning to realize just what he had been up to while he was missing. ]

H-hey now, Hayato get a hold of yourself here. Stop being so creepy.

[ Another step back. Her smile fell, and she went quiet. ]
