Chapter 218: Mission Briefing

[Eldoria, Mecerenary Headquarters - IDS Station: Equipment Room]

Rel, caught off guard by Christian's sudden outburst, instinctively took a step back. 

"Calm down," he said, gently removing Christian's hands from his shoulders.

"What's going on here?"

Christian's face was flushed, and through his mask Rel could tell that his eyes were wide with panic and frustration.

"It's VE4B," he sputtered. "She's... she's..."

Rel glanced back at Vanessa, who was still glaring at the wall, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. 

He could practically feel the waves of irritation radiating off of her.

"She's what?" Rel moved his head slightly, raising an eyebrow.

"She's being... difficult," Christian finally managed to say, his voice barely a whisper.

"Difficult?" Rel repeated amused by Christian's reactions.

Rel looked back at Vanessa, who had now turned her head towards them, her eyes narrowed.
