Callie, Marie, Maize and Reina had met shortly after arriving at the crater, descending down into Alterna and meeting Captain, and to their surprise, Deep Cut as well. They didn't question much about it, knowing their help they provided against Mr. Grizz. The lot of them gathered around to start up the meeting. Frye shaking her head confusedly as she looks at the group gathered around, questioning what could be so urgent.
Frye: So, why did you want everyone here? We've got everything we need from Alterna.
Shiver: I'm with Frye on this one, we were supposed to going on air, but a certain SOMEONE dragged us away!
Shiver states this while staring daggers toward Big Man while opening up her fan to hide her scowl.
Big Man: Ay, ay... (I'm sorry you two, I thought it must've been important if everyone was called...)
Agent 2: Captain, what is it?
Agent 2 steps out from the group and walks up closer to the captain, standing next to her wondering what the situation is.
Captain: There's been a new crater that's opened up away from the one we're in right now. The worrying news, this one leads out to open sea-
Agent 4: So? That can't be so bad, it's just open waters out there. There's nothing that could be so urgent to have everyone around.
Agent 4 spoke up and cut Captain off, finding the situation unnecessary for an entire group discussion, and to be called out extremely early as well.
Agent 3: I-I'm with Agent 4 on this, there shouldn't be need to worry...
Captain: If you'd let me finish.
Captain stares in utter annoyance toward Agent 4 for interrupting her before composing herself.
Captain: The open water in question is a salmonid swim zone, and I mean a large amount of schools gather there. There's also the risk that water could potentially flood in through there and reach-
Shiver: Splatsville?! First the Big Runs, and now this?
She stares in shock, her face contorting in worry for her city and people
Frye: Ain't no way we are letting those slimy fish step on our turf! Well, not step more, uhh, swim? Or is it slide...? Big Man, would it be swim, slide or step?
Frye starts shadowboxing, showing her eager energy to stop any threat from coming before looking up to Big Man for clarification on her question.
Big Man: Ay, ay. Ay. (I think it would be slide, Frye. But any of them work.)
The 8 of them looked around at each other, now having verified the danger that this situation poses to everyone, no longer needing to question it, except for...
Agent 1: So that's why you've called us all out her, including Deep Cut, cause their people are potentially in danger?
Agent 1 looks to Captain, worrying for the lives of everyone. They have saved the cities several times, and heck, event saved the world once, But regardless it's always a stressful moment and incredibly worrying whenever it happens.
Captain: Exactly. We need to secure the area and make sure that nothing comes out, and then try to build... I don't know, a dam or something. Now, the crater is large, and we can't cover much ground if we all move as one group. To remedy this, the plan is to split into groups.
Captain leans forward, assessing the people before her, wondering what groups they should be in if they don't choose themselves. The silence was deafening before it was broken by a fan snapping closed, the group looks towards the source of the sound to see Shiver smirk and crack her fan against her palm.
Shiver: Repping the Splatlands, we are DEEP CUT!
Frye: Say it with sizzle now, yeah!
Shiver: You lip-synch; we drip ink...
Big Man: Ay, ay, ay! (Shiver, Frye, and Big Man!)
Frye: Deep Cut sticks together! You can count on us!
Agent 1 looked toward them in awe, Agent 2 and Captain just lightly facepalmed with one thought "Do they always have to do this...", while Agent 3 and Agent 4 just looked quietly to each other.
Captain: Alright, Deep Cut, you three stick together, and the rest of us?
Agent 2: I'm going to stick with my daughter, I can't leave her on my own now, can I? You okay with that Agent 3?
Agent 2 looks over toward Agent 3 with a protective gaze, knowing her duties, but with a hint of seriousness considering the situation at hand.
Agent 3: Yes mu- I mean, Agent 2... if that's alright Captain?
Agent 3 huddles up against Agent 2 to let Captain know that they are willing to team up with them, to which Captain nods understandingly.
The cute family bond was short but sweet as it was immediately ended with Agent 1 launching herself between the two, holding her arms around the two of them with a beaming smile.
Agent 1: And don't forget me! I'm always with Agent 2, count me in that group! Team Fresh! We're so fleek, I love us!
Agent 2: You know Agent 1... sometimes I wish you didn't say the most cringeworthy things, but yes, we're a great team.
Agent 4: I suppose that means I'm with you, Cap.
Agent 4 waddles over and throws her arm around Captain, to which she receives an annoyed glare in return before she slowly takes her arm back.
Agent 4: Ehehe... sorry, I forget you don't like that.
Captain: ... Well, that settles it, everyone, grab a bite to eat. Since I called you here so early, I thought I'd get something for everyone. And don't forget to get changed into uniform after.
She brings out a few plastic bags from behind the cooler she was sitting on filled with an assortment of different food and snacks for everyone. Frye was the first to run in and grab food, surprisingly before Agent 1.
Frye: Awwww yeah! Grub! You have the best boss, Boss Marie!
Agent 2: You really don't have to call me that...
