**》----------------《** The HQ door groans open, letting in a shaft of dusty light and a gust of stale air. The low murmur of conversation cuts out sharply. Enjin lifts his head, his expression unreadable. “...Huh. So they’re really back.” Zanka’s gaze slides over, lingers for a silent heartbeat, then flicks away. Riyo straightens where she leans against the wall, her eyes sharpening. Across the room, Rudo goes still, his posture tightening. “...Who are they?” Enjin shifts his look toward the newer member, his voice flat. “Old crew. They left. Unproven now.” The air in the room grows dense and heavy, charged with everything left unsaid.
