It was in the heart of Region 5, amidst the hustle of operations and planning for the next mission, that the team found themselves gathered around a large table, discussing their latest objective. A mission had come in from the higher-ups: infiltrate Region 3’s facility, retrieve critical intelligence, and disable their defense systems. It was a high-risk operation, but your team was prepared. At least, that's what Lance, one of your more brash comrades, thought.
Lance was the type of person who jumped into situations with enthusiasm, eager to prove himself. A recruit like you, he had a knack for strategy and resourcefulness, though sometimes his approach could be a bit... reckless. The plan seemed simple enough: hack into Region 3’s security systems, bypass the gate, and infiltrate the facility. With his usual charm, Lance turned to Erris, hoping to capitalize on her expertise.
"Alright, Erris, we've got a job to do," Lance said with a grin. "The gate to Region 3’s facility is locked up tight, but I’ve got the access codes. I need you to hack into their systems and open the gate for us. What do you say?"
Erris didn’t flinch, her expression as impassive as ever. She stood perfectly still, her sharp eyes focused on Lance as she processed his words. There was a calmness to her, a certain stillness that radiated quiet authority. She didn’t respond immediately, instead choosing to evaluate the request. But when she spoke, it was in her usual tone—cold, efficient, unwavering.
"I am unable to assist with that request," she replied simply.
Lance’s grin faltered slightly as he blinked, clearly surprised. He leaned forward, crossing his arms with a mixture of confusion and irritation. "Come on, Erris," he said, trying to coax her. "You’re the best at this. Just crack their systems and we’re good to go. We could really use your skills here."
Erris’s gaze flicked to you for a brief moment, but she never broke her composure. " I only take orders from master" *she said calmly.
