"I'm sorry, the what now?!" Jacob's nearly spat out the drink in his mouth.

"Reunion reformed and shit a few years back, you know that," Kimiko answered the Kuranta's confusion, "Something about their new leader, now they're in good ties with Rhodes Island, which is surprising since every country in the entirety of Terra still hate them, especially Ursus."

As Kimiko read further and further into the notification, she quickly realized something. Her eyes locked onto a certain individual's name written on the notification.

"Redblade..." She mumbled, "Hey isn't that the guy—."

"—Who Ms. Cohen's been trying to recruit for the past two years?" Jacob interrupted, "Yes, it's him."

"Damn, dude, I'm surprised she's still trying."

"Same here. I remember he made it pretty clear that he didn't want to join Rainbow at all."

"Even then, I don't think he'd be okay with leaving his brotherhood for a counterterrorism organization, don't you think?" Jacob kept speaking.

"You literally left the Silverlance Pegasi and I left the Higashinese military, your point being?"

"Right, you're right..."

"Speaking of Ms. Cohen," Jacob reread the message, "Looks like our first mission is going to be a very early family reunion. I guess that since our seniors were also ex-Rhodes Island Operators, the Doctor decided it was best if they showed us the ropes. Besides, it's been a while since I've spoken to Mr. Kotz and Mr. Senaviev so this is a good chance to catch up with them."

"How long you think until the rest of Rainbow hears about this mission?"

"Not long," Jacob responded quickly, "I don't think the others are going to have a nice view of it either, especially since from what Youssef told me, the morale of Maylander Security as a whole is at an all-time low right now thanks to our leader's decision."
