[ GA - Tech building ]
It was weird the way the terror brought on by the shadow cast of one airship, was eerily terminated by another. Spread out atop the top of the Tech building, Neon stared up into the sky, full of clouds, and one massive battle cruiser.
Sweat poured from his pores - this was all too much. Stress clouded the Graffiti King's judgement. It was time to set things square.
"Tenack!" A very cross Neon looked over the corner of the building, a little more worse for ware. Scrolling his hair aside, he tried to get a good eye at the Demolitionists leader. "You know what this is all about, don't you?" His echo was not an accusation, nor a question. Neon knew he knew what was going on; it'd take an idiot not to!
"Your whole Occupy Everything with the NEXGEN 'done pissed somebody off." Leaning his legs over the rim, the Soldier strained his brow. "We can't afford another attack like that, man..." While he didn't say it, Tenack knew Neon well enough to read what he was suggesting; a recall of all the NEXGEN troops.
"I'm tellin' ya, if the archipelago is hit by an armada of that magnitude, I mean... the only reason we were able to fight 'em off is because it's just our dinky island that was attacked. Imagine if they bring on that kind of fleet to IDG??" While the idea of world peace was a thoughtful fantasy, Neon, after weeks of living under a rock, was finally getting a breath of reality. He had hoped that with the NEXGEN on constant guard of each town, they wouldn't need to worry about the Lunars, the Taurean, or anyone ever again. But...
"Neon!" Called Hyde from the bottom basin, tossing his fellow Soldier his phone. "I think you should take a look at this."
Clumsily catching the rock in midair, Neon managed to get wind of what Hyde was hinting at. On the phone was a pull-up of recent news, talking about some recent fallout between the Kuro Gang and the Von Helson house. Neon's eyes widened, recalling two specific letters asking for his attention, scattered amongst the piles back at his place.
"Tenack!" Neon hushed, something trying welling up in his chest. "Try and get a hold of your guys in Durem! Why didn't they tell us anything...??"
