The Debrief

Gojaro, after concluding the call, turned to Jade with a sense of finality in his voice. "Okay, well, that's that. Report to the debrief room in 10 minutes and finish that tea. You should have your energy back by then."

He paused, his expression a mix of concern and resignation. "The director really wants to get you killed, or he really has faith in what Master Ash sees in you. Regardless, stick close to Oscar and Yui, okay? They have both been doing this for about 3 years now, so trust in their judgment."

Jade, absorbing his instructions, took another sip of the tea, feeling the warmth and energy slowly starting to replenish her reserves. Curious about Gojaro's next move, she asked, "And where are you going exactly?"

"There's something appearing around the Canadian border, and they can't really tell what it is, so I will go ahead and handle it," Gojaro explained, a hint of urgency in his tone. "Shouldn't take too long, so don't worry."
