Welcome to Gaia! ::

There had been mention of that alien senshi, the one who had been pulled into that prison with him and the others. If he could find them separate from Encke, then maybe he could find out more about their opinion on teamwork and collaborations. Nothing had been reported so far that seemed to be as antagonistic as the bugzapper but he was still cautious and kept his medallion in hand and his large coat tucked away into subspace to help sell the persona of being a captain.

Checking his tablet to look for the most recent sighting report, he tucked it away before making his way on foot to the mentioned park. Teleporting wasn't something he wanted to waste energy on, given how bone-tired he still was from the endless running around he'd been doing since the end of February. The days and locations he went to blended together, each different trip to space only being able to be differentiated due to the detailed notes he'd taken at each place.

It weighed on him even as he kept his team organized and running smoothly with the new requirements for reports and increased quotas. By now they all knew about how he was to be addressed and treated in front of order, a captain merely part of the team. One that was less than enthusiastic about the ideals the Negaverse held. It would take repeated exposure to solidify things, but he was in it for the long game, much as he always had been.

So when he spotted the senshi working on some sort of technology in the park, he slowed his approach and looked on curiously for a moment as he wrung his hands in the patternless fabric of his uniform.

"Hello," he said quietly as he moved closer and looked over the thing they were working on. It was outside his area of expertise, but he was sure Desiree could explain things to him if she was here.

"I... think I recognize you, from that terrifying place." Not quite moving close enough for her to touch him but close enough that he didn't need to speak up terribly loudly, he could tell it was one of the senshi he'd been looking for.

Nodding slightly at the mention of his codename he did mirror her smile. "A lazy codename, I would say, but I really needed to focus on how to get home that night. It was the only thing I could come up with, even if it was just my rank..." It had been stressful, to say the least, even if he'd managed to get enough information to file a decent report to Laurelite the following morning.

Sitting down where the senshi motioned for him to go, he looked over things with some curiosity. "I honestly have not heard terribly much about things, I am not very well connected." It hadn't helped that he was juggling his job as a professor with business as usual on top of managing his growing team. The days had blended together, and even though he kept on top of his own reports, he hadn't managed to keep up with the constant influx of new reports from agents and their interactions with order.

"I hope it works... that thing seems cataclysmic, honestly. The mural I touched left an unpleasant impression on me, and it took a while to shake the lingering feeling. Are the storms effecting your world as well?" Keeping his hands from the parts and tech, he fiddled with the red gems that hung from his uniform. They reminded him of his fiance which helped keep his focus on the story he wove and the information he gave and got in return.

"Chal is my name, though I understand if you want to avoid responding with information of your own." He still wondered why this alien senshi was willing to help, considering he'd seen knights leaving Earth behind as a lost cause. He didn't trust any of it, especially with how disorganized things seemed to be most of the time.
