One never knows until they look. There may be a clue somewhere.

@System

By all means, cover all your bases. I don’t want it to seem like I’m faulting you. Just acknowledging the likelihood.

*Nods, then turns and stroll back into the chamber from which I came*
Whelp, be seeing you. Well, maybe not you, but…

*Sweeps other stuff carelessly to the side and pulls forward a small black case, which I dust off and blow on, revealing an calligraphic inscription with the letters “A.W.” I unlatch the case and open it up, staring at the two golden lugers resting in velvet cloth, for some time*

@GalaxyRaider

*Removes the lugers from the case, along with fitted holsters and stows them away on my hip, then grabs a device from a nearby table and straps it to my wrist like a watch*

*Pokes my head in at the sound and shifts back to get a better look at your face*
Oh, good morning Acacia.
*Smiles*
Hope it's a good day.

*Snaps my head toward you*
Oh, hi! Um, yeah. Just a bit slow.

*Steps inside*
Do you need any help? I don't have anything important for an hour.

Barely. I finished sorting thirty minutes ago and now I'm just triple checking.

@Intrepid

*Laughs to myself*
I can't say that I don't commend the effort. Nobody's taking your head off if they're a little messy though.

I think they ran out of stuff for me to do. I haven't been out of this room in hours.

@Intrepid

Hm... you’re coming to our full-team meeting, right? If you don’t have anything to do, you can tag along with me until it starts.

Wait, I'm invited to that?
*Slams the cabinet shut*
Of course!

You’re still part of the team, right?

I sure hope I am.
*Walks away and over to you by the door*
What're you up to, anyway?

*Walks next to you down toward the break room*
I'm on surveillance today. But it looks like I'll get to start low-risk missions again soon.

@Source

They've kept you on reserve for a little while now, huh?

@Intrepid

Too long. But that's better than going out there and getting hurt, or worse.
