Chapter's POV: Cross
"All right, so, I think that's all eight divisions.", Deylin said, "Any idea which one you'd like to join? Don't fret about it too much. Whichever you choose, you still have a lot of freedom in how you operate. Mediators can still get out there and mix it up, hunt indigens, whatever. And if a Harrir wants to take a break and settle an argument, that's their prerogative, too. To be honest? Even though it's sort of frowned upon, you can actually change your division whenever you like. So there's really no reason to stress about this. All right, you ready to choose?"
Well, that was a lot to take in, but at least I can relax about it. "Yeah, I am.", I said. "Yeah, and...? We're on pins and needles here.", Korshel said. I pretty much knew which one I wanted as soon as they explained it. "Interceptors", I said. "Then it's settled?", Deylin asked. "Yeah.", I replied. "All right! Thank God that's over... By the power invested in me, yadda yadda, you're officially a BLADE." "Congrats, and welcome.", Deylin said. "I know you're gonna do great.", Era said.
"Now for the job. Let's get down to brass tacks.", Korshel said, "Shoura's team has gone missing. Last contact we had, they were installing a data probe out in eastern Primordia. Then, nothing." "Hmm, Shoura... Pathfinders, right?", Deylin asked" "Are we talkin' indigens here or what?", Era asked. "Your guess is as good as mine.", Korshel said, "But they did have a Skell with them. You'd think they could hold their own, or at least run away." "All right, we're on it.", Deylin said, "We'll head to their last known location and go from there." "Report whatever you find ASAP.", Korshel said. "Of course.", Deylin said, Let's move out." "Roger that.", Era said. The three of us then left to the barracks.
