The two tall figures moved through the dimly lit area slowly, one with a faintly illuminated yellow visor, the other with a smaller, green optic peering out at the world. The two of them were clearly moving with purpose, perhaps intent on finding something? It was hard to tell considering how hushed any conversation they had was.

Something made them pause though... well the larger of the two, who then reached out to stop the shorter, red armoured figure. Toaster glanced back at Kaiser questioningly. “What?” He queried, sounding a little annoyed.

“Disturbance detected. Unidentified source. Magnetic field disruptions  of some description in the air, caused by something using an incredible amount of power, followed by movement close to our position.” Kaiser intoned, causing Toaster to drop his attitude. This could be serious.

Great. This new squad mate of his was off to a real start. He was already drunk and Niner had very low respect for him.

Niner padded straight to the batons along the wall. He was early for training, and hummed as he ran his palm down the practice weapon. He was told he was to run an obstacle course today and would meet a new partner. He wanted to make a good impression. 

Niner chewed his lip. The Republic had been kind enough to give him a week's leave after a painstakingly frustrating mission but that presented a whole new problem. Remerging into civilian life for a while tended to be difficult for Niner. His brothers seemed to have their own problems with it, too, but for Niner it just reminded him that his were brothers dying on the front lines while civilians lazily minded their own business.
