How will you explain their presence should I be patrolling around in a different outfit then, hm?

That can't be good for the planet's ecosystem... I shall dispatch some ARKS operatives to deal with it accordingly.

I saw it again. It's a daily occurrence at this rate.

Ah. I quickly understand why I'm rarely on the field. Those winged, avian Falspawn will not cease their attacks upon my hat.

...I have forgotten yet again.

"I trust securing its location was not an easy task. We cannot be sure of what hostiles lie within, so let us begin by surveying our immediate surroundings. Report if there are higher levels of abnormal photonic activity."

"I fear the dust has long accumulated since."

I must confess that I forgot this place existed.

I can't say that I ever saw my hat that way.

But I know by now that it is very much your kind of thing, to have your imagination run rampant.

And now I'm getting the rabbits, too...

[Hearing his own words echoed back in return causes the intelligence specialist to flush a little in humiliation.]

What? That is not relevant.

Have you nothing better to be doing with your time?

*stares in bewilderment*

I am a member of the Council of Six first and foremost. It would be wise for you not to forget that.

Don't become disillusioned by hearsay.

This is, in the end, for your own sake.

...to be this adorable.

This cat has no right...

Oh, yes...
An infamous encounter by now. I am not sure just what their deal is, but they are often relentless.

How strange... There are a lot of cats on the feed today.

Risa? I see.
I admit, she and I rarely speak. All I know is that she is not your usual CAST, and she possesses a lethal aim.

Worse luck? Hmm... And what brought upon this assumption, might I ask?

The newer recruits within ARKS all tend to straighten up whenever I pass by.

While they are less likely to cause trouble this way, I do sometimes wish they weren't so stiff.

It isn't as if I would write a report on them.
...Not unless ordered to, anyway.

And what will it take to get these blasted six-legged Falspawn off my tail? I fear I shall never know.

I dislike how difficult it is to navigate the Abandoned Mines with all this sand in my shoes.

Don't underestimate how fine this sand can be.

Ah, so you have heard of me.
That is... quite the circumstance for your meeting.

Where do you suppose they are now? Surely, they intend on taking you with them?

Anyone would be baffled to hear a voice coming from a weapon.

...How did he find you, anyway?

It was oddly mesmerising.

Unfortunately, a certain ARKS Officer—one which I shall not name—has a fond liking of this cat and insists he would stay in the Casino on board.

A rather peculiar name, is it not?
Oddly enough, there is something that draws me to it as well.

Greetings, by the way. It has been some time.

One time, in the conference room, I saw an ice cube fall off a desk and instead of catching it, we all just stood there staring at it like morons as it hit the ground.

We forgot how to be sensible ARKS operatives. I think we were just in the midst of a debate on something trivial.

Yes...
