Well here you go. Here's the next chapter.
The girl entered and stood in front of all of them.
She was clad all in black. She was sort of muscular, extremely short, and was pretty skinny. Her shirt was tight and open down to her bra line and clasped behind her neck. Her pants were tight on the hips and baggy everywhere else. They were black and had the outlines of pink roses stitched into the left thigh and the bottom of the right leg. On her arms were fingerless gloves with pink stitching identical to the pants. She had on a necklace with a charm that looked like a rose blossom made of steel. It was on a strap of black leather that was tied in a knot behind her head. Her naturally black hair contrasted with her bright green eyes.
"Hello," she said softly, breaking the men from their trance.
"Good afternoon," Peppy said and then turned to the rest of the team, " Everyone, this is Nova Noraan. She will be joining your team. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting back to work."
with that, he left the bridge. The men stared for a while. Finally, Panther broke the ice.
"So, Nova... Where do you come from?" he asked in a friendly tone.
"Earth."
"So... You're from the main human planet?"
Nova nodded her head ever so slightly.
"Well, what's it like there?" Katt asked, speaking up for the first time that day.
"To tell you the truth, it's a very hostile place..." Nova said quietly.
"Really? How so?" Wolf asked, suddenly becoming intrigued.
"The year, when I left, was 2021. World War III had started in 2011. they called the years in between the 'Decade of Hell'. I lived where there was a major battle zone only five miles away. You could hear the gunshots ring 24 hours a day," She stated emotionlessly.
Krystal could feel emotional pain well up inside Nova, but didn't see anything show.
What Krystal didn't know was that Nova could feel her scanning her thoughts.
'Oy', she thought, 'this is gonna be a long stay.'
Well, there you have it. The woman's name is Nova.
FYI: Nova is 21 at the present time. She was 18 when she joined the Cornerian Defense Force. She has a past full of turmoil, which will be explained in later chapters.
