Blue Team Onward!

[voidtreckermods]

Initial Guarding

Once the other teams fly off it is quiet once more at the military base. Blue team will be allowed to start patrolling, though there will be some areas such as the main command floor that are off limits. Any medically-inclined Void treckers will be welcome in the med bay and the guards will happily have some volunteers to do outside patrols.

But for the first day or so it is quiet, Hitrinto works as a liaison between the void treckers and the command staff, relaying messages and keeping them informed of the progress of battle.

Attack!

Late on the second day there is a break to the peace, alarms blare and lights flash red. "Enemy ships approach. Enemy ships approach."

Anyone who can get to the hanger quick enough will be given ships and sent off to fight. There aren't many enemy ships, four or five and hopefully they are beaten off easily.

But this becomes a semi regular occurrence. At least twice a day there are attacks. Patrols are stepped up, extra people are put on standby to man ships as quickly as possible.

Sabotage

Perhaps the attacks are a distraction. Because it is clear that something isn't right. Power goes down in one section or other. Equipment is messed with. Emergency doors are tampered with or left open. There aren't many people on this base but sometimes they will get the feeling of being watched. Of not being alone.

It soon becomes clear there are enemies inside the station and they are clearly biding their time. It is not known for what purpose. But finding them is probably a priority.

"That'd be a good idea." Gladio nodded and then gave a brief laugh. "I know at least one guy who'll go poking at them if he sees them."

Though he had to admit, if only to himself, that he was tempted to touch one of the runes. Just to see what it did. Magic was something that fascinated him. And if what Samata said was true and these things could spirit someone off somewhere else, Gladio couldn't help wonder what that felt like.

"We can't have that. It'd lead to all KINDS of awkward questions."

She was silent for a moment as she gave Gladio a sidelong glance, before saying "You're thinking of trying it out, aren't you?"

[callmegladio]

He smirked and shot her a sidelong glance in return. "Are you reading my mind?" He asked in amusement, which was as good as saying that yes, Gladio was very much considering trying it out. Maybe once things were sorted on the station it would the last thing he did. Just to see. Just to satisfy his curiosity.

"Then I'll have to let you try it when we have more free time. Maybe I'll make an attraction at it and charge three coppers a teleport." She said, with a laugh.

[callmegladio]

"Are coppers like gil?" Gladio laughed along with her. "Because I've neither, but I'm curious." Would it hurt or would it tickle? Would it be a blink and you're somewhere else or a slow materialisation? It was a strange thing to him, something he'd only ever read about in books. So yes, he really wanted to try it for himself.

"If gil is money then yes. Though...I'm not sure what I would even DO with money right now." She bit her lip, chewing that thought over for a minute. "Huh. And father always said money makes the world go round..."

[callmegladio]

"Don't think he had trains flying through space in mind when he said that." Gladio pointed out with a chuckle. Money didn't seem to be relevant at all at this point. There was some kind of arbitrary currency on the train that allowed them to get things they might want. But not physical currency they could use or barter with others. It was a strange set up but Gladio went along with it since that's what everyone else did.
