Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nevada automatically straightened as Aria addressed her request and tried not to squirm under the division leads very thorough explanation of just why the missions and portals and such were the way they were.

Of course Nevada poker faced for like maybe two seconds before frowning. The way Aria put it made PERFECT sense and she could already feel a little upset with herself. She should've thought MORE on her request and the signifigance as to why hunter leads didn't spend the time to make it easier for Trainee's.

Life wasn't easy. The sooner she learned that the better.

"Yes...yes Ma'am" Nevada sighed, again mostly at herself. Not the greatest first impression to give her Leader.

At the assignment, Nevada let out a breath in relief. It was a chance to redeem herself and perhaps prove that she could and would be a future asset to the mist team. Plus a mission with a older hunter? She hadn't had one of those since she awoken from the pod. Only the missions with Roland and Lex, and both of them were trainee's like herself.

"Thank you ma'am, I'll be sure to have a report as soon as we're done." She looked over to Candace and smiled at her. "If you don't mind taking me then, I look forward to learning from you..." The smiled turned next to Stormy and Nevada made her way to the trainee. "It looks like we'll be trainee buddies on this misson! It's nice to meet you Stormy, I hope you don't mind being paired with me on this mission!" Nevada held her hand out to Stormy, smiling lazily at her.

A chance to learn under a actual Mist hunter and have someone to ask questions with seemed fun. What started out, to her as shameful looked a little brighter. She only hoped she didn't let her division down.

"You know where my office is." Aria replied to Cassandra with a shrug. "When you're both ready, you know where to find me. If you two would prefer to work on this separately that is also fine, but considering the subject matter... I feel it would be best if both of you went into it together, even if you two decide to take turns staffing it."

To Candace, Aria shook her head. "Artifacts are ancient for a reason. There is one item in particular I have been hunting down for several years. If you took a trainee on them..." Her wistful tone dropped to a serious one, "Then you would be bringing them to their deaths. If you want to mentor and assist trainees with getting on their feet, that is fine. It is altogether a separate thing to go out and delve into ancient ruins like Laura Croft and escape unscathed." A Look was given to the hunter.

As Syd spoke up, Aria turned her gaze on her. "You know where the mission board is," she chided, "Otherwise in addition to the Mist Taken tower, please also go to the Life Hunter Battle Arena with at least one other person. As the group to the San Zhi Resort appears to be full... Hm."

Aria reached down and picked up her phone, flipping through it and considering. "Ah. Here's one. I need two more hunters, preferably one a full or intermediate trainee. There is a... park
that has encountered several unexplained deaths. Have you head of the Takakonuma Greenland Park? Please go investigate it."

"For those who don't know, there is a mission board right over there," Aria pointed towards a touch-screen monitor recently re-installed on the wall, "That lists the available missions that we need hunters to undertake. Some are trainee-friendly, most will try to outright kill you no matter what. Whatever you do, don't bite off more than you can chew."
