Ask Here We Arda Again

[Ryan Stellos]

The atmosphere was growing tense, now that they were inside the lion's den, hoping they'd manage to find and get the agents before anyone would find them ans hell would be set loose...It was a race against time and they were far beyond the starting line.

Ryan was incredibly glad as the Overseer suddenly found the agent - unconscious, bruised and scared, but alive. Ryan kept his eyes and ears open, waiting for the blonde to help the brunette regain consciousness before he'd rush to her other side, supporting the agent while his right hand kept on his blaster.

The Overseer nodded towards the door and Ryan escorted the two man back, stemming the injured agent's weight until they reached the presumed safety of their little access point. "My duty is to stay at your side. I'll get you to the safety of the transport, but adjutant will lead the attack", Ryan explained, meeting the woman's gaze.

He expected her to be fairly capable herself, yet he wasn't going to take any chances. He was supposed to keep her safe and so he would. He'd wait for the two woman to climb in first and start their way back before he'd bar the door and enter after them.

They couldn't afford followers and he waited with the signal for the troops until they were back outside again, as that was when they needed a distraction on the far other side of the compound. Fortunately for them, they'd make it out unscathed, much slowed as the agent was hurt, but safe after all.

Nodding in agreement with Lt Stellos' assessment, Guin performed one last check over their injured agent before agreeing that it was now time to move.

Slipping back through the entrance they'd made, the blonde would go first, followed shortly after by the agent. Fortunately, the return trip was much easier and safer now that they knew which path to take, and in little time they had reached the outdoors again. With a shuffle and grin, Guin helped the agent to her feet waiting the arrival of Ryan for their final stretch of the mission - making it back to cover where a team was waiting to take care of the agent.

With the information securely captured, the ISB would need to complete an assessment to ascertain if any information had been leaked by said agent and of course ensure that the rebels were no longer capable of being trouble. Well, Ryan's platoon would handle the latter part, at least.

Guin stood there for a moment, watching as the agent was whisked away, and their task was effectively complete. Thinking out loud, she mumbled as her stomach rumbled, only serving to make it more annoying. "You're welcome, I guess." considering, pleasantries didn't seem to be plenty for this one.

Only once they were safely out and walked a little further towards the extraction point, did Ryan finally give the orders. The front attack came unexpected and thus hit them hard, offering them the distraction they needed to have the ship fly in and get them.

The agent was immediately taken care off and after a quick assessment, it was just the Overseer and Ryan left once again. Thanks to diligent preparation and careful execution they had gotten out well and without any casualties, which meant their mission was a full success.

There was a moment of awkward silence until Guin thought out aloud, voicing her slight annoyance about the wordless exchange of the ageng. Ryan cleared his throat, almost giving her a little sheepish grin before they loud rumble of her stomach broke the silence once again.

Perhaps it was inappropriate, but he couldn't hold himself back from directly blurring out, "Uhm...same, actually". It drew a little chuckle from him, but he quickly regained composure before he almost formally asked, "Do you perhaps want to grab some dinner in a bit?".

He still had to stay in contact with his soldiers, but from the first update he had gained that everything had gone according to plan and most rebels had been forced to yield. He was hungry, too, and they had a reason to celebrate. He'd be freed from his duties soon and he thought, why not? After all, networking was important.

The prospect of grabbing a bite to eat after the long, exhausting day was quite the tempting offer. With only barely half a caf to go on, Guin's insides had more than enough punishment for her dietary choices or lack there of. A surprised look gripped her face as the blonde turned toward Ryan. She hadn't even said anything, his question catching her off guard until the embarrassing reality struck her - that he must have heard her stomach rumbling.

Surprise turned to a sheepish grin as the overseer simply wished for the ground to rise up and swallow her whole. Pushing through the turmoil, she quietly nodded, calculating that they'd be shortly both off duty. "Something quick though, I have something important to do back home."

Taking her phone out as they slowly began walking, she hurriedly began replying to a message that had only just come through.

>Cmon Rhi, it's complicated. No I haven't heard from them.
>Yes, I am coming home soon and I miss you too. xx

Putting the phone away once more, she hoped they'd at least find somewhere still open that served hot food.
