Us kindred spirits are drawn to each other, our souls realize it before our minds and hearts do.
An Orion city, bustling with citizens under their jurisdiction. It seems normal, but someone walks amongst the crowd. People stare at the strange Sentinel with red eyes as he passes them, but he stops before the road, pulling out a tracker and staring at it. He is disappointed to see it is empty. He turns his head around the area.
Harold: "This is unfortunate. Yes, unfortunate. The ticking... is getting worse. This was not the plan." He nods as he crosses the street.
Harold: "I must eliminate the bogie... it should've been easy, just like the previous bogies..." As he walks, he gets lost in the crowd once more, ever so lost. He disappears into the sea of busy people.
Mayu wakes up in her new room. It's much more high-tech than the last one, but now she's in a completely new place.
Mayu: "Hm. Guess I can spend my time just... pulling out the bullets from my arms I didn't reach." She sticks her hand into her arm, attempting to pull out bullets that had been fired into her body and stuck there.
At the end of her procedure, an announcement plays over the speaker.
"All Agents, please report to the landing bay for inspection."
Mayu gets into her uniform and leaves her room, heading to the hangar next to the landing bay. The hangar has a group of strange individuals standing inside, only four of them besides Mayu herself. Mayu takes a look around her surroundings, then looks at this group of new people.
"So, you're the new girl the Sergeant talked about? You do look as strange as he said you would."
The first individual... a green ball with small, black limbs attached, appearing as a strange alien creature. He has a white horn on his head, and a simple-looking face. He's sitting inside of a mech that makes him his tallest, controlling it like an arcade machine. The mech itself is colored with orange and red flames, and an intimidating face in the front.
Mayu: "Huh... interesting." She looks at the next one in the group.
"Come on now, Zeno, there's no need to be rude. To be honest, I think she looks... unique. In a good way, of course!"
Number two, a man that looks to be Mayu's age, with red, spiked hair and yellow goggles that have mechanical eyelids that match his expressions. He's wearing a uniform similar to hers.
"I must apologize for my friend's behavior, Miss."
Mayu: "It's alright, sir. I really don't mind at all."
Silence from the third person, a robot, but not like any Sentinel.
It's quite big compared to the others, but not enough to make a huge difference, it's a robot with a bird-like appearance, despite having no wings. Its body is a light gray color and almost looks incomplete.
Someone is holding its hand, a much smaller individual. This is an Orion war base, but, the fourth person is a little girl with semi-long blonde hair, a white dress, not unlike a hospital gown or nightgown, white socks, and a very irritated-looking teddy bear in her other arm.
"Really, Tin? I don't think she looks scary. Maybe she wants to be friends with us!"
Mayu is confused that the girl mentioned a Tin, even though nobody said anything to her. "I've, um... just been called to the landing bay for inspection. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with this place, and by extension, you all."
The small alien in the mech speaks up first.
"Well, let's fix that! My name is Zeno, I'm quite the all-star Agent... I mean, I don't wanna brag. I'm here for a reason... hehe."
