Korie simply watched as both Ritsu and Lorenzo made their way out of the room and as the others started to begin arguing among one another. A sigh was all that could be produced from them as they promptly made their way to a nearby machine and flashed a card of some sort across it. Punching in a few numbers, the machine made a few unnatural noises before a plastic covered sandwich emerged from it; a vending machine. Taking out the sandwich and flashing their unique card again before punching in a few more numbers until two warm canisters that was labelled ‘coffee’ plopped out from where the sandwich came from. Not paying mind to the others Korie took a seat and immediately began unwrapping the sandwich before biting into it in a dignified manner.

“I’ll be sure to take that information and that arrogance of yours into account as I defeat you in the upcoming battle,” spoke Korie as they smiled a bit upon taking a sip from their coffee. “While it is true that we are all on the same team right now... we are all aiming for the goal of Squad Leader… something that I think neither you, Antwon, nor Elora here could handle based upon what I have just seen from your actions. We are fighting the Cruxi, an overwhelming race that has humanity backed into a corner and yet there are people here that are trying to get all the answers like they have earned them already.” It was clear that specific remark was directed at Antwon. Biting into their sandwich again and swallowing, Korie continued this time in a much softer voice, “Sorry for my rudeness, I didn’t mean to offend or interrupt anything, I was just talking aloud. Oh, I have forgotten to introduce myself; my name is Korie, Korie Ridley and I was born and raised for the most part on Earth until recently for the obvious reasons of working with you all.” 

Giving off a warm smile, Korie drank some more coffee before tilting and looking off in some random direction. “I believe my Aester is still being tuned… You have all probably seen it as the White Framework on our way here as we passed the hangar, yes? Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing how your Frameworks fare in comparison to it.” Confidence; for some reason that was what was coming from this person who was both calm and collected with no signs of shaking of having any of pumping adrenaline that Ian was having.

After a short moment, Korie looked to their side and gazed at Takeo, remembering why they got another coffee. "Almost forgot, here. Thirsty?" They handed Takeo the can of warm coffee, simply staring at them while munching on their sandwich.
