Iris watched as the Helicopter landed with BALTEUS hanging from it. BALTEUS was dropped on the bridge while the Helicopter landed next to the door. Walter and Raven walked out.
Raven:what caused it?
Walter:your face or the Coral explosion?
Raven:both
Iris ran up to them.
Iris:I'm-where's Raven? Who's this gorgeous stranger?
Ravens vision was tinted red.
Ayre:who is she?
Raven ignored her.
Walter:this is 621
Iris:wait...
She looked at him up and down.
Iris:bullshit he was a burn victim
Raven:shut up
Iris:oh fuck it is you...why are you hot?
Walter:save it for when I'm gone or at least out of ear shot
They walked inside.
Iris:you trashed the AC!?
Raven:BALTEUS did. How's the LC?
Iris:if I put your old cockpit in it'll be working fine
Walter:then do it we don't have long
Iris:fine I'll go scrap your AC
She walked back outside.
Raven:so what caused the explosion? And my face?
Walter:when you were caught up in the explosion the Coral must of triggered something in your exposed skin. I don't know point is your healed so let's take that as a win. Next
He typed something on the Monitor and images showed up.
Walter:a friend of mine sent me this observational Data. The localised Coral explosion caused by the surge has a certain...directionality. It's heading for the ice fields, straight across the Alean Ocean. Coral loves company.
Raven could tell from Ayre. She's...a little clingy at least to him.
Walter:which means under the ice fields there's a huge mass of Coral laying dormant. Oh yeah, you said you could hear voices in your head? Don't worry just a common side effect of old Gen Augmentation
Raven:I don't think-
Iris:(distant)hey! How the fuck am I meant to move the cockpit without an AC!?
Walter:figure it out! All she's done since I got here is moan, how do you put up with her?
Raven:I have the patience of a Saint
That was Ravens attempt at humor it didn't land.
Walter:anyway
Ayre:I thought it was humorous Raven
He grumbled.
Walter:anyway don't let it bother you. We'll talk later when I have a job
He walked away. Raven leaned on the railing and Ayre appeared next to him.
Ayre:Raven...
He looked at her.
Raven:yeah?
Ayre:please look at the Monitor
He turned and saw it had turned red and came up with maps of Rubicon.
Ayre:the Coral explosion completely vaporised the Northwest section of Belius' Bay area. And yet compared to Fires of Ibis that explosion was hardly a spark. Raven I have a favout to ask...
She appeared in front of him.
Ayre:allow me to remain in Contact with you until we reach the Coral Convergence. I have to see where their taking us...where the struggle for the Coral ends. I must as a Rubiconian...
He sighed.
Raven:alright. But we won't be going anywhere until that LC is ready and Walters got a job
Ayre:I will assist with problems via scans
Raven:that should help alot...

Raven:we are not calling it that
It was where Ravens AC would be usually in the hanger.
Iris:I didn't pick it! It's on the side
Raven:and the weapons?
Iris:the rifle was developed by the PCA, the H0-1814 Heavy Rifle. Luckily that Base had plenty of ammo. On its right shoulder is the W1-1407 Pulse gun. Usually it's meant for Heavy Cavelry but they got a small one made
Raven looked at the shield.
Raven:why not a pulse shield?
Iris:I took a blast door I saw MT's shooting at for target practice and took it
Raven then thought.
Raven:how did you get all this stuff here?
Iris:oh yknow...ways
He looked at her questionably.
Raven:okay? What else?
Iris:pulse armor, better boosters for flight and a sword under the shield
Raven:alright I can make this work. Good job
Iris:yes praise me!
Raven:and you lost it
She pouted.
Iris:it's not like I wanted to be noticed...I'm going to bed
She walked off in a huff. Ayre appeard.
Ayre:I've noticed how cold you are with her
Raven:I'm like that with everyone
Ayre:but like now you do show you care
Raven:it doesn't matter...
Raven had gotten to know Ayre a little better in these few days. He still doesn't like that she's living in his head completely rent free. He's gonna need alot of cash to keep this new LC up and running.
Ayre:why doesn't it?
Raven:it just doesn't alright Ayre?
Ayre:if you say so...oh it appeard Walter has a message for you
