Reports of golden apparitions appearing near their newly acquired zone were beginning to spread concern rumors amongst the grunts in Rocket. Somehow it managed to work itself into the form of a 'seek & destroy' mission which landed in Victoria's lap. After spending a few weeks on the mend in the medical bay it would seem it was right back to 'business as usual' with her.

[break][break] Good. It gave her something to keep her mind focused on.

[break][break] Not only was she tasked to investigate and deal with these disturbances but she also was assigned babysitting duty, it would seem. In reality, Rocket clearly was making use of all of their resources. That also meant bodies.

[break][break] New recruits and members were joining their ranks. It wasn't that much of a surprise that she would be told to help ease them into things, after all she'd been around for a long time. She could effectively show them the ropes.

[break][break] The problem was that Tori was not in the proper headspace to be looking after anyone. She was barely keeping it together herself what with brewing issues between her father, THEO BECKETT and the new unwelcome arrival of Raziel Beckett. Tori's hand balled into fists at her side just at the thought of it.

[break][break] The sound of leaves and branches crunching beneath her booted heels were the only indicators of her arrival at the meeting point. Beside her Raiden, her Zeraora, and Osiris, her Lucario, trailed after her. Both awkwardly enduring the other's presence. They were still getting used to one another but for the most part they didn't cause any issues.

[break][break] She was the first to arrive, which was a bit of a surprise. Normally she would run late to meetings but it would seem she was truly thrown off with recent events considering just how early she had managed to show up.
