Blue's Blues

[cloningblues]

[Nothing went right during the latest mission in La Gias. Denzel is dead. Setsuko, Toby, and the people they were sent to rescue have disappeared to some place unknown. Blue One took a crapload of damage, but that's the least of Asagi's worries right now. He stumbles towards a sitting area, slumps down on a chair, takes a stomach pill and lays his head on the table. Then, he slams his fist on it. The table, not his head.]

...It wasn't supposed to go like this.

Seems to be a track record for us of late. The top brass won't exactly be happy with most of the results we've been having...

[Ataru in an awkward, delicate fashion, tries to ease Asagi's hand off the table.]

At least some of the bad guys have stayed relatively quiet.

[Asagi's hand offers no resistance.]

What are you trying to say? That this will happen all the time from now?

[gold_four]

No! No! Just... in reverse, right, it seems to be happening with most our deployments. Mr Beckett, Ms Amou, the Solaris woman, now this...

What's that saying in Izuru's comics? That's its always darkest before the dawn?

When will our dawn finally come? I think we waited long enough for it.
