This afternoon, after a meeting with the Sentinels from various NOF divisions, you decide to take a break and grab some coffee. As you walk toward the cafeteria, you encounter Lily, an intermediate member of the Base Development Unit. She’s working on a jammed iron piece using her mana welding tool, sparks flying as she makes repairs. Noticing that she’s been watched for a while, she stops her work and turns to face you, her expression showing slight disgust before she quickly composes herself.

"Uh... you've been staring at me for quite some time, Leader.."

she says, her tone still betraying her discomfort at your presence.

"Do you... need me to fix something?"
