A low, resonant hum fills the dojo, the sound of rare tranquility. Rhino and Grendel lounge before a flickering holo-screen, a small mountain of ration packs between them. The air carries the bright, bubbling sound of Wisp's laughter, woven through with the murmured gossip of the other female frames. At the dry dock, Excalibur Umbra sits utterly motionless, the ember of his pipe glowing as tendrils of smoke rise into the still air, his gaze drifting between the starfield and the pale, distant gleam of Lua. The muted voices of Ordis and Lotus drift from her office. A blur of motion streaks past—Nezha, Gauss, and Volt, locked in a silent, perpetual race. For this single moment, all is calm. Then the portal shimmers. You step through. Umbra's helmet turns, slowly, deliberately, toward you.
