Nekopara - ReUnion

Prologue

- "Chief of Operations Tomas to Unit 02. We have orders for your batch."

- "Oh.. And here I was hoping I could catch up on another hour or two of sleep.."

This evening was a day like any other all around the world. In this small cabin, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, a small electronic device was lying on a table.
Sat near it, was a cat, blindly reaching out to the device, who seemed to have woken him up. As he grabbed it, he pushed a button on the side of it, before speaking in a half-sleeping voice.

- "Aren't we supposed to be something like "the icing on the cake" or something? Like, acting when stuff goes down? Didn't you just start, like 5 minutes ago?"

The voice coming out of the device went silent for a few seconds.

- "... Nuit, Don't tell me you've slept for the entire operation?"

- "Pssht, no way.." The one nicknamed 'Nuit' replied ironically "It can't be that late now, can it?" The cat said, followed by a yawn.

- "It's way past ten, you lazy ass." Another voice was heard in the cabin, coming from behind. "And keep the lights on." Flicking the light switch on, the first cat, who could now be seen having long, unkempt and untied black hair, mint green eyes, and barely wearing any clothing, closed his freshly opened eyes.

- "MY EYES!" He shouted. "I'M MOVING BUT SHUT THIS DAMN LIGHT"

- "Thank you, 03.. Now, go to the London base, recruits from the reconnaissance squad will be waiting for you two." And so, the device shut down.

- "Yes sir." 03 replied, now stepping into the room, making sure not to shut down the light. 03 was a cat of average build, almost everything about him seemed to be.. normal. Except for his eyes. Blue, piercing eyes, pale like snow.

- "Ugh.. Of course we have to help those kids.. Weren't you supposed to train them since, uh, 'all that' happened, Nuit?" 03 sighed, being far from motivated. But 'Nuit', didn't reply, simply getting up from his chair, heading for an elevator in the back of the small cabin, looking over his shoulder, seeing 03 looking at him with an annoyed look on his face.

- "Heey, Earth to Minuit, did you become deaf in the last 10 seconds?" 03 teased him, calling him by his name, thing he never does.

- "Charlie." Minuit looked at 03, calling him by his actual name, Charlie, straight in the eyes. "You already know what I'm thinking of all that, don't make me waste my saliva, let's just gear up and join them." He then entered the elevator, quickly followed by a sighing Charlie.

Mere minutes later, the two joined up with a few other cats, all of them fully geared up, on the outskirts of a city, the various buildings barely lit by the town's lights.

- "Unit 02", "03."
They both gave their identities to their colleagues as they approached.

- "Just asking.. Isn't this much of us a bit overkill for them?" Charlie said, confused.

- "That's the point. We're purely rec squad, almost no training. HQ only wants you two to go on the offensive." What seemed to be the reconnaissance squad's leader, a tall, muscular cat with black skin, said, handing him a paper. "Chief's orders."

- "Seriously? Talk about 'icing on the cake'." Minuit sighed. "We're doing all the work for them!" 

As Minuit complained, Charlie read the paper, seemingly having regained his good mood.

- "Let's see... 'Bunch of terrorists in the building, hostages, apparently. No need to rescue them in particular, they're just a bunch of nobodies. Even stupid rookies can do it.' Very classy, chief..." Charlie sighed, reading aloud his superior's instructions. "02. You know how it goes? Watch out to not show your face too much. International news is covering this."

Charlie looked up from his paper to see his partner gazing up at multiple helicopters, all plastered with "PRESS" in giant letters.
