Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I think there was a cranberry sauce monster in that damn Haunted House," Madison said, making a face. "There were turkeys, for sure, but they were dead when we got there. Maybe the freaks killed them." Her expression shifted to an almost fond smile. That had been a good fight, a really good fight. Phoenix (most of it, anyway) against the freaks, their first real battle, and they'd wiped the floor with them. At least in Madison's mind.

"A cranberry sauce monster?" She made a 'dnw' face at Madison, "Really? Well, saved you the trouble of killing those turkeys yourself~"

When Marcus addressed her, she turned around to face him, humming a bit, like she was deep in thought, "Hmmmmm, I don't know..." A short pause later, she grinned, "Eh! Sure, why not? I have a bit of experience with making and repairing things." Thanks to Aria's last mission

Turning back to Gale and Madison, she patted the former on his head, and the latter on her back, "Remember to keep everyone updated!" She had a feeling that she shouldn't be worrying though and flashed them both a grin before trying to get the Mist leader's attention, "Aria, do you have your constant?" She didn't see a problem with the arrangement, but best to see if the woman had anything to say about it.

He wince a bit. Yeah, to many questions. "Sorry Miss Aria, but thank you. I'll keep that in mind for the future." It was nice to hear that they wouldn't have to actually- yeah no. He was pretty sure his level of skill was still down around the 's**t sucks' level. Looking at Ariane, he moved over to her, offering the file. "We can call the other moon trainees up and given them a head on the mission, as well as the intel. For the most part, it seems simple enough." A smile. "I look forward to working with you by the way. This will probably be a little better than ah... jungle duty."

They were putting Robert in charge again. He tried not to laugh, but after the monumental failure of his first experience, it was hard to believe anyone would put him in charge of anything. He knew it wasn't really their choice, it was simply a matter of the math. One advanced trainee, one choice. One very bad choice, that someone was probably regretting very much.

He turned to look at Before, gave him a sour face, and shifted the folder over for him to read. "Looks like you get to play Lifer for another day, huh. Lucky you."

Before had a long way to go before Robert was going to forgive him for jumping ship - and leaving him the only advanced trainee on the block. It was his fault they were forced to put Robert in charge, after all.

It did not look like he was going to let Before forget it.

"If you intend to debrief your trainees," Aria began, "Then you'd best move quickly and catch them before they go to bed. We'll be moving out bright and early on the morrow. I highly advise that you ensure they're wide awake and alert, and not sleep-deprived."

Aria shifted her attention to Jordan, giving him a nod in acknowledgment before answering. "There's an estimation of about fifteen to twenty new blood on Deus Ex," she answered, "However not all of them have gone through the initiation ceremony. Then there are other trainees who have yet to go on a mission. In short," she shrugged, "I honestly don't know. Some divisions may have more members than others."

Truthfully, Aria didn't bother looking in to see how many people were assigned to what division. She assumed that it would be the same like last time. Which meant that Aria had no clue that the Mist had nearly the highest enroll rate of new hunters, and that most of them were male. She was going to be in for a surprise.

"If you can get them together, you might be able to debrief them. Or you might not," Aria added with a shrug. "The point of tomorrow's debriefing is to not give them enough time to prepare. It's to knock it into their heads early that emergencies can happen at any time in any place, and they will need to be prepared for them at a moment's notice."

Aria's eyes darkened as she slowly looked at the trainees, doubt beginning to churn in her stomach. She had to ask it. There wasn't getting around it. "You... All of you know to keep a pack of basic essentials ready to go and ready to be grabbed at a moment's notice somewhere in your dorm, right? Basic things such as food, Swedish firesteel, socks and the like...?"

She had a feeling that she knew the answer to that question already considering how much Caelius and H cared for their collective well-being.

However, Candace's questions were a welcomed distraction. "One of them sent the last transmission. They received heavy damage to their generator, and thus have not been able to continue contact. There is no telling of their current status as such, and thus it is best to go in armed to the teeth just in case." She shrugged, adding, "Considering the location, I felt that it is a good chance for the trainees to get some field experience, even if it's nothing more than moving items from that outpost back here until the outpost is repaired."

Aria leaned back into the chair, stretching before answering. "Currently there is no surveillance. While this may be the 21st century, the Life labs have yet to figure out how to support video streaming over long distances. Or find a way the tolerable quality," Or find an actual use of it instead of spying in the shower rooms. At least they're in the males' too and not just the women's. I better go visit those next to make sure they're not there anymore.

"As far as other leads go..." Aria shrugged. "Caelius is out somewhere else, the lucky b*****d. And as far as H goes, I'd rather not know. Sun and Moon leads are out, so that leaves me with babysitting duty."

"Thanks Aria," She grinned before turning to Marcus, taking the files and giving them a read before looking at the map, memorizing as much as she could, "I'll put it up on twitter, but it's up to them to check. It's been cluttered with idle chatter that should be kept to private messages recently..."

It bothered her quite a bit.

"I'm not sure who the new Moon trainees are, so I doubt they know me..." She paused, shrugging before giving Marcus a slap on his back and a grin, "Same goes for me! Heh, anything's better than that experience." A photograph of the map was taken using her phone - just in case - before she stood up, "If there's nothing else, I'm going to go back and pack... So I'll see you tomorrow? Don't be late."

Cass seemed to notice that there were people taking pictures of their folders instead of her broken a**-backwards memorization technique, pausing to flip through the file and snap a few pictures herself, if only to make sure she had them for reference, before she slid the file back over to Candace in case she needed to take any as well.

With that done, it seemed like Candace had the texts sent out to the Lambs already, which left her to..do..... hmmmm. She looked at her file, then at the one Marcus had. There were differences between them, so....

"Aria, are we allowed to look at the files you gave the other divisions?" she inquired quietly, wondering if she'd just asked something stupid. Either way Aria answered, Cass knew one thing she needed to do before she went to bed;

Hit up Lance to see if he had any extra information.
