Alexandra Walker
Guardian
I couldn't let anything happen to you, You're too cute.
Ira had entered the room, The older man was a rather intimidating sight, She wasn't afraid of him but she sure wasn't going to be getting on his bad side if she could help it. He quickly shouted out some threats to get everyone in their seats as well as a threat for anyone who would talk during the briefing to come. Well, He didn't have to worry about her, She had nothing to say anymore at the moment. She did however glance over and offer a smile when Miranda arrived and took a seat next to her.
The girl was one of the members of Gale Zero she was most fond of, Miranda was a good friend in her mind and having her around was always nice... Hell, She'd have loved to be her navigator but sadly the girl was so amazing she didn't need one. Turning her attention forward again, She waited for the briefing to begin, though before it could, Miranda's voice caught her attention again. Long face...? She seemed almost confused by the remark, had she been looking down prior to this? Perhaps she was a bit upset still but she felt as though she had calmed.
" Its nothing. " She said calmly, offering Miranda another smile, She would take note to look less down from now on. Finally, General Cross began to speak, though He didn't begin by explaining their situation... No, He began by commenting on the earlier situation that had upset Alex in the first place. While it sounded like He was speaking to the entire team, He seemed to be rather focused on Zane throughout the entire thing. She almost wanted to speak up, feeling bad if the entire team was indeed in trouble for it... Really she was just being slow and it was her fault... Though Zane seemed to be getting most of the attention. Despite her friendship with the white haired boy, She'd stay silent while the general spoke to him... He did have it coming.
Though everything he had to say eventually lead to the reason they were here. A heavily broken transmission, though it was apparent what was happening nonetheless... they were being attacked and the divided were behind it. The voice on the other end was calling out for back up, though she could only assume that it was too late. General Cross soon confirmed her assumption, it had been this morning that the message was received... Gale Zero certainly wasn't going into play back up. While things were fun and games at times, the General was right... they were in a war, While she did feel bad that chances were whoever had sent the message was now dead, She couldn't mourn for them... That was just how war was.
When the projection was brought up to show the location of the convoy, it was a rather concerning sight, it wasn't that far away from its destination. Soon Cross moved onto what the mission required... The pilots were to go in, see if any divided were left, possibly rescue survivors and hopefully grab the plans... Though she did allow her face to show her concern when He mentioned that the war would be much harder if they had found the plans. What was so special about them that they'd make things so much worse then they were now? She couldn't ask now, all that mattered was that those plans were regained. Moving on, Cross introduced the woman she didn't know finally, She came from the recently destroyed space station? That explained things.
Next He moved onto the planning... Zane, Kane, Pan and Miranda were the ones that were getting close, Of course she felt concern for each of them, Even Zane... Much as she hated the guy earlier, She really would feel terrible if anything ever happened to him, She did care for him in her own way. Her concern wasn't much though, She highly doubted that any pilot in Gale Zero would be out done by the divided, they had too much of an edge on them. Listening closely to the rest of the briefing, It seemed that Ira would be riding along with one of them... For his sake She really hoped the poor man didn't get stuck in Zane's mech. It seemed to be at its end as He told the pilots to report to hangar zero, that the navigators, of which she was one, would have the coordinates uploaded to their stations to be given to their pilots.
It seemed Emilie had already left by the time Alex got to her feet to leave as well, Emilie needed to be in Navigation Room Zero, Just as Alex did. As she moved though, the feeling of a hand on the back of her neck caught her off guard and caused her to freeze in her spot, though when she noticed who it was, She only gave him a soft smile. Cyprus was just trying to be nice probably, despite how surprising it was to her. He soon shot off for the hangar, He had a mech to pilot after all and she wasn't going to hold him up to start a bit of small talk, She'd have time to talk to him later and she'd be sure to do so.
She arrived at Navigation room zero shortly after her encounter with Cyprus, She had been the second one there it seemed, After Emilie who had rushed out... She almost seemed eager. Settling down at her station, She looked over everything related to the mech she was teamed with, Everything was in order, All that was needed was the pilot. Now to get things ready on her end. A smirk crossed her face as she went to work, the screen reflecting and flickering off her glasses as she went through things... There were those coordinates, perhaps she should take a look with a satellite, see what she could see?
For now, She'd follow Emilie's actions and signal her readiness to her pilot... A bit less professionally. Retrieving her own ear piece finally, She adjusted her glasses to get them out of the way while she put it in, settling them back down properly when she was done. " I'm set, Ready when you are. " Things were looking fine on her end, though a pilotless mech wasn't exactly too useful.
[Left it a bit open until its official who Alex is paired with.]
