“How’s it going, Pinkie?”

Said-boy was not amused. Any sort of pleasant or positive emotion lingering on his face disappeared like the click of a camera—one moment he was smiling, and the next he was scowling while casually assembling his assault rifle. The parts moved with a satisfying click, allowing him to set the weapon down on the table. “I told you to stop calling me that, Techie.”

The young scientist hummed. “It’s one syllable away from Pink so I don’t see the harm,” he reasoned, pen tapping the edge of his clipboard. “Anyways, I came by to tell you that your new partner has just been assigned. He should be here in a few moments.”

There are one too many doors leading to the central lobby, but it’s where Pink can relax, calmly gather his supplies together before heading out on a mission. Technician gestures vaguely in the air, probably trying to pinpoint which specific door his partner will walk out of. “Hmmm. I think he’ll be coming out from…?” His voice trailed off, causing Pink to cross his arms and impatiently stare. Technician’s brows knit together while he hummed thoughtfully. “He’ll be coming from Alpha Sector. Interesting. He may be a rookie, but in terms of physical ability he’s got a Beta like you beat hands down.” The scientist snickered as he flipped through his reference pages. “Top of his class. Looks like you’ll have your hands full eh, Pinkie?”

The lad bristled before quickly punching him in the shoulder. “Shut up. When’s he coming?”

This time the older man twirled his pen while deliberately taking his time. “Right…about…” He spun toward a door as it slid open. “Now.”
