An Unknown Threat?!

Side Chapter 4

The Higher Ups had finally made time for their meeting it was technically far more important than A and C's "duel" but the CEO never told them to rush. The Higher Ups had made their way out of the training room, it was silent as with C only occasionally grunting as he lagged behind staggering due to his injuries. While Tessa led the group with A, B and U not far behind her, the same could not be said for I and M who took this opportunity to speak with their "superior".

I: So C how was it?

C gave out a low grumble when he heard I.

C: How was what?!

I: Being beaten or should I say utterly destroyed?

C: Shut up.

M: Yeah I we don't want little old Clovis to blow a fuse. He might make complaints about how bad he was at fighting.

C: Shut up you morons.

I: To think that you actually thought you could bad both "her" in front of A. I'd say you were lucky C.

C: How would you consider my situation as lucky.

I: Believe me C, if Tessa didn't value all of us then you know well that we'd be looking for a replacement for you.

C only gave I a glare while M laughed to herself which C could only describe as listening to hyena.
I was about to give C another insult before he looked forward and saw Tessa glaring at A. It was an odd sight to see her upset with A let alone any of them but Tessa was clearly not happy with what happened earlier.

Tessa: Achlys next time I say to not do something you listen.

A: Tessa he was asking for it. You heard what he said about-

Tessa: I know!

A was surprised hearing Tessa shout and Tessa herself was surprised that she had raised her voice towards A.

Tessa: I'm sorry Achlys... it's just, you know what all of you mean to me. Which includes Clovis m. He's not the nicest person but he's family... all of you are.

A: Of course I know that Tessa. I'll make sure to keep it in check next time.

Tessa: Good. Now how about we get this briefing started?

A nodded and smiled not wanting to linger on the topic as it was very much upsetting and difficult and seeing Tessa happy was a lot more pleasant than arguing with her.

-Time Skip-

The Six Disassembly Drones were all sat around a table their briefing was simple, there was a signal that was not verified being sent to a mining planet known as Platinum-3. Tessa insisted on going over what they'd see there as she wanted the mission to run smoothly as a clean operation would keep her father away from messing with the Disassembly Drone project.

Tessa: All right for review. What is the name of the planet?

I: Platinum-3.

Tessa: Iota that was a question for everyone.

I grumbled while M raised her hand which made C glare at her with the Disassembly Drone ready to throw an insult at her before U elbowed him.

Tessa: You have a question Marry?

M: Are we allowed to kill people and blow stuff up?

Tessa: If you feel-

Tessa stopped as she looked over and saw I moving his head in an attempt to tell her no. Now Tessa wasn't ignorant in how M acted in fighting... it was hard to ignore the drone that was known for well blowing things up.
