[Scarlet Nexus]: Brain Talk
"Well, I better make my report on the new recruits for Karen..."Hikaru muttered as he started walking to the market district of Suoh. While he was just starting his report however, he abruptly stopped with a jolt as an encrypted brain message came in.
[Operative Artes, you are to report to Chief Kaito Sumeragi's office for a joint briefing with senior personnel, platoon and regiment commanders. Attendance is mandatory.]
After he read the message, Hikaru's demeanor soured as he glanced at the report he had just started. "Sigh...can't really do anything about this summons so Karen's just going to have to trust his own instincts for the recruits this year." He said as he started walking back to OSF headquarters, silently bemoaning the fact that he was wasting his energy with all these pointless walks when he could have just been relaxing with a cup of herbal tea at his favorite café.
[Hey Arashi, Kyoka. Did you guys get a summons to the chief's office as well?]
[Hey there hotshot! Yeah, Kodama's making me come along with her. :( Maybe I will just plead my case with Fubuki and get out of this particular mission-get you die hard soldiers to do it for me instead. ;)]
[Oh Hikaru, yes-all the commanders are required to be present for the briefing. Shall we meet up and go together?]
[Yeah. Grab Arashi from wherever she's laying about;I have something to talk to you guys about.]
As Hikaru came up on the entrance to the OSF building, he found Arashi and Kyoka waiting for him.
"So just what was so important that I had to come all the way over here? I am a very busy lady you know? Unless...you're here to finally confess your undying love and loyalty to your two mistresses! I could use an indentured manservant these days." Arashi said as Kyoka looked at her and Hikaru with a surprised(and flushed but she didn't need them to see that) and scandalized look.
"Arashi, this is serious. No teasing until I am done here." He said as he flicked Arashi's forehead and turned to Kyoka. "Seiran has infiltrated Suoh...their operatives could interfere with future deployments so I need to have contact with your platoon, regardless of my rotations." Hikaru said with a grim look as he saw Kyoka's shocked look and Arashi's calculating expression.
"How did you come about this information Hikaru?" Arashi asked as Kyoka also looked on curiously.
"Before the new recruits were admitted to the OSF actually. The Seiran NDF has been steadily encroaching on areas like Mizuhagawa, Kunad and in the subway lines around Suoh. I haven't been able to act however-OSF and NDF operations are both mutually exclusive of one another."
"Do Karen and Fubuki know of this then?" Arashi asked as Hikaru nodded.
"If the Major Generals are aware then that means they have it under control right? I will open my platoon's channel to you however Hikaru. It's nice to see you care about your team members-I thought you refused to get attached to anymore people after Miyuki's death." Kyoka said with an approving look as Hikaru grunted with an impassive look.
"Don't look so happy about it. I am just happy these new recruits aren't more of those masked fodder we admit into the OSF every year. You know how much I hate seeing potential go to waste because of stupid reasons."
