Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lieutenant Gunningite

When the Captain approached, Gunningite lowered the Magic 8-ball and snapped into a swift stance of attention, giving the other woman a salute.

"Lieutenant Gunningite, reporting as ordered Ma'am," She fired off with a quick - I practiced this in the mirror for a few hours - vibe to her words. "My general is... uhm..." Her eyes darted around the assembled people and she shook her head. "My general is not here ma'am, is that an issue?"

She hoped she hadn't done anything stupid or silly on her first real mission. She'd feel so bad if she messed up already.

"I was just waiting for orders..."

Captain Nissonite

The call hadn't come from his general, but Nissonite really didn't like the idea of Amphitrite heading into the rift without him. As an eternal he knew she was more than capable of taking care of herself. She had the experience, the magic and the training. She didn't need him there to protect her, but he still felt better being there with her, just in case. If anything did happen, and he'd opted to remain behind...well, it didn't bear thinking about.

So the captain arrived not long after the eternal herself, and after a quick scan of the gathered agents and corrupts he spotted her standing beside another corrupt with a guardian perched on his shoulder, much like Reven was perched on his own.

He was fairly positive he'd never met either of them, but based on what he'd heard he had a feeling he was about to meet two other members of the team he's been placed on after corruption.

Looking between the two of them thoughtfully he stepped up behind Amphi's left shoulder, reaching out to lay his hand lightly on the small of her back to let her know he was there with her. Just a light, lingering brush of his fingers before he let his hand drop back to his side.

Reven

"Oh! I know him!" A pale paw shot out beside the captain's face, pointing at the other cat. "That's Silk." The paw dropped again, claws prickling at Nissonite's shoulders to keep from slipping off her tall perch.

The one corrupted senshi she knew already though hadn't spent much time with. She seemed nice, and Otto really seemed to like her. The other senshi Reven had never seen before, but she wondered if maybe this was the one Silk had been talking about when they'd talked back at headquarters that one time.

Her tail was flicking in a rapid back and forth as they approached, small body practically buzzing with excitement. Not just with seeing Silk, but with getting to tag along with a serious mission. It was her first, and she was eager to prove herself an asset to the Negaverse.

She wanted thumbs!

Captain Reinerite

Reinerite shook her head "No it's not a problem at all" after all it wasn't as if her own General was amongst those gathered - at least she hadn't seen him amongst the other Generals gathered.

She assumed he was on other Negaverse business of some sort or another - although truth be told Reinerite didn't give it much though because it wasn't for her to presume–

And knowing her General, he would probably find out about the night's events anyway either because she would mention it when they next had one of their catch ups or because Aurostibite was through that way.

Her smile widened slightly, was a touch warmer at the 'Ma'am' for all that it made her feel older than she actually was "Captain is fine Lieutenant and I too am waiting for orders."

The General King's arrival had not gone unnoticed, the aura so much stronger than that of her General or the other Generals with whom he seemed to be in conversation with.

She didn't recall seeing him amongst the General Sovereigns that had been introduced after the mission to help the Queen, the mission that had coincidentally been her first real mission, a part of her wondering whether he was the one taking overall charge of the mission–

But once again it wasn't her place to ask.

Her grey eyes glanced towards the magic 8 ball in the brown-haired Lieutenant's hands as she gestured towards it with the hand that wasn't holding her staff "You know your weapon reminds me a little of how my own started out, but it..." she started, voice trailing off as a second Lieutenant approached them.

"It's not a problem Lieutenant" she said, her grey eyes glancing over and towards the approaching male as she spoke "And my name is Captain Reinerite."

Corrupt Sailor Meridiana

Meridiana hummed thoughtfully at the three given choices. “I think we’ll go with one for now and save two for later.” She then stepped forward to close the distance between them to trace a feather touch around the corrupt star on his bare chest.

“At least tell me you stretched before powering up.” If this meeting really was all-hands-on-deck then it meant that there would likely be some form of fighting expected to happen. The last thing he needed was his father or PT nurse harping on him for exasperating his injury when it should be getting better.

Cerulean colored eyes locked with his unblinking. Head tilted to the side as she waited for his reply, one arm crossed under her chest almost suggestively while she tapped her lower lip with her other index finger. It was almost as if she were either looking for an answer to a question she hadn’t asked or was trying to decide on what to do with him depending on his answer.

General Benitoite

He expected it, he always did with this one. he'd had difficult team members before, those who disliked him, those who outgrew him...or thought they had. He'd seen, and had, all sorts of team members but this one downright hated him, she would kill him in his sleep if she could. The others...they wouldn't even dare to try, even if they hated him. Something he should perhaps be glad for? Some of those who disliked him were even dead...fancy that - they died first and not by his hand. While her hand was now free of his hold she wasn't going to get away, he'd just resummon her if need be, she would join the others in fulfilling her duty to the Negaverse...she was a member, whether she liked it or not. He had given her power and she would use it, as he saw fit at the moment.

"That was against one with more power than I have." Not to mention more time in the war, he was sure of that. "I did try, don't think yourself the only one who got out of that with injuries." He stated cooly, slate eyes resting on her. He too had been hurt, severely, he had suffered numerous injuries at the time and recovery had been slow. He'd been out of commission for longer than he cared to think about. Even when he'd been able to do anything, helping with creating a new Queen, he'd been severely limited and unable to help as much as he otherwise would have been able to. "You don't have any senshi, or knights, to worry about." Just youma...and he could handle them.

"Now then, lets go." That said he led the way down to where the group was gathering. His smaller form keeping next to hers, incase she decided to try and leave, he wasn't about to lose one of his own. She was here and she was here to stay.

The first person he noticed, as they were rather hard to miss, was a certain General King to whom he did nod his head. He didn't bow, didn't salute. He simple nodded his head and raised his voice so he could be heard. "General King, it's a pleasure to see you." And it was. It was also good to have Zinkenite here as it was more power, because this far out the youma were less than friendly.

"So many people already gathered...how nice to see so many here to help the cause." Whatever the cause, tonight, may be. It was good to see so many able bodies.

G.K. Zinkenite

There was a moment, fleeting though it was of consternation at ‘Lord General’ - and a slight shift of his shoulders as his proper title was put out for all to hear. So much for seeing an honest reaction out of unfamiliar faces, still, it was protocol and while it might irk him it was hardly as though he could undo what had already been done.
The proverbial cat was out of the bag.

“Wardite, Piypite.” He nodded to the half Youma, making a small note to find out more about them as time permitted. He was, after all, rather interested in the venom in Stibnite’s words when she referred to them. A clear history there but, he wondered if it was recorded.

The brogue that Wardite spoke with earned an interested tilt of Zinkenite’s head, but no more than a thanking nod that he’d heard the offer to be of assistance.

The… more suggestive offer from Piypite, earned narrowed eyes, though it might be hard to discern if it was disgust, or if he was assessing her given his face was a little better than half obscured by off black fabric.

He cleared his throat a moment later and said finally, “Your offers are noted. Thank you.”

“A pleasure to meet you as well Dravite, Please, Zinkenite is fine… it’s hardly as though you’ll be spouting a full title if we run into trouble.”

He glanced then towards the corrupted senshi whom had just strode up to the group.
“Valeria.” He nodded. “These are General Leucite, General Stibnite, I’m not sure if you’ve met them, also Captains, Wardite and Piypite, and Lieutenant Dravite.” He made the introductions assuming she’d have greeted them had she known them.

“I am sure we will receive more information soon, there is a chance we are waiting for more officers.” He added.

He then glanced towards General Benitoite and gave a nod of greeting.
“I hope to be of some assistance, the message left me curious.” He admitted. “Shall I assume you know the others here or shall I repeat introductions?” he added with a small tilt of his head.

And, then someone was kneeling to him.

“Erm, thank you… please, rise. I hope that we shall not have cause to accept your, generous offer.”

He folded his arms at the small of his back, blinking.

Eternal Adamantine

The group grew as Niss joined them, bringing with him a small white kitten was was very much aware of her own on her shoulder. Her head tilted, moving her cheek to the top of the kitten's head. "You have a friend, Silk." Whether or not the kitten chose to move was up to him, as she had no control over him. They were more partners then anything else.

Her gaze cut to the captain though, as he was the newest member of the wolfpack. She was sure he answered to Laby, but the small hand on the back of Amphi's led her to believe that perhaps not fully. It wasn't a real matter on her part. Ada's loyalty remained to one general, and one general only.

"She's too far in the rift now, or else would probably be here." What made Alkaid wander the rift and make it her home, Adamantine understood. There was too much for the Ascended general to address, had she made her presence here again.

The stardust senshi disappeared into her own thoughts though at the mention of the general king in their presence. She had no real concerns or thoughts for him, or the curiosity that Amphi had. Since she had been brought in by Laby, there had only been one general that mattered to her. Though Amphi contained a skillset that Adamantine didn't carry, and that was the natural capacity to approach another easily.

"You could ask." She didn't smile, but her gaze twisted only to take the King into memory. Should there be more battles then before. "Or perhaps we can communicate with General Labyrinthite for information." Though she was almost 90% sure Laby wanted nothing to do with the rift presently. Especially after returning to Destiny city and rebuilding the wolf pack with those that were loyalist.

A hand came up again to pet at Silk, an almost comforting source of someone for her as those who answered the call grew.

General Arsenopyrite

Arseno had mostly been going over what he needed to do in his mind once he came out of this mission, but his head turned when he heard 'Lord General' and he turned to see who it was addressed to. He had felt the aura spike, but had ignored it for the moment, his mind having been preoccupied by other thoughts.

He thought he knew who it was and decided not to address them yet. The General King had plenty of company and conversation it seemed, so Arseno wouldn't interrupt. He did however move towards the group to speak or at least acknowledge that he was there to General Benitoite. Though when he got closer he realized that Katya was there too, which was a pleasant surprise. He always liked the kitty.

He moved over to them and when he could tell that they were listening said, "Benitoite, Katya, it's good to see you here. And the others of course." He remembered some of the others who were here, but he didn't know them as well. He felt a bit embarrassed though, it was as if everyone knew everyone else. It just showed how much of a failure he was as a General.
