"Cipher...wake up"

Gambit is with Cipher at the Jörmundgander Training Complex, somewhere on the medical bay. He, along with some of the medical personnel, has been trying to make Cipher regain consciousness after his excessive drinking

"What...the hell happened"

Cipher asks, obviously having trouble remembering

"You went back at it again. You drank until you fainted and almost drown on your own puke"

"Then why the hell did you save me?!"

Cipher straight up goes to punch Gambit

"All I wanted was to see him live his life...And now...What?! I HAVE NOTHING LEFT, GAMBIT!"

Gambit just lets Cipher beat him, knowing that he would eventually run out of energy in his current state

Cipher and Gambit kept on fighting for some more seconds, until Cipher finally started showing weakness, to which Gambit immediately replied by body slamming him back onto the hospital bed

"Listen! Cipher...look. Focus on what's in front of you. I know you are in mourning, but we're now changing plans...the Chancellor ordered it. We are behind schedule"

"What...?! I thought that we would have some more time before redeployment"

Gambit then pulls out a pad, showing a Vale Huntress speaking. She's claims to be speaking to all of Remnant and warns the viewer about the Relics, the Maidens and the threat that the woman of the derelict represents, as well as she informs about the apparent unwillingness of General Ironwood to cooperate with her faction

"Right after this was sent throughout the CCT network...Atlas went into full red alert. That woman of the derelict really is intent on getting the Relic of Creation out of it. Apparently her forces have breached into the City"

"What?! She wasn't supposed to be able to ram her way into the city this early"

Then, Chancellor Delauren walks in, with Pigmallion next to him

"We know. That is why you 4 are now being officially assembled into a new Team"

Pigmallion silently walks in, and another caped figure comes in

"Reaper Gambit. Reaper Cipher. I'm Reaper Crystal"

Then, the Chancellor continues

"Reaper Gambit, you will be the one to lead this new team. However, due to the incompatibility of your initials, we will be skipping the formal naming conventions. You all are now Team Raptor and will answer directly to me, to the High Commander, to the Consul, the Prime Minister...and of course her excellence, the President"

Gambit, slowly sits up Cipher, as the Chancellor continues

"All other public officials, be it Members of Parliament, Ministers, Commonwealth Justices, Members of the High Military Council, and of course the general public, are not to be informed of your operations. There can be no intermediate agents. You need anything or get anything, you bring it directly to us"

"Yes. Chancellor" responds Gambit

After that the Chancellor slowly heads to the door. But stops right before leaving

"I know you all are in deep mourning, barely having recovered from the loss of your comrades. But right now, this is the best shot we have at making their fight and their sacrifice being worth"

Then the Chancellor leaves

"You all heard the Chancellor. Cipher...Come on, we have a job to do"

Cipher reluctantly gets up, but still can't walk properly, barely able to tumble and having a hard time keeping his balance. Gambit helps Cipher while they all walk out of the room
