[ Ayame appears on video clad in her old black armor, with the phone camera fixed toward her and showing a vast and empty chamber behind her. Ayame stands at Nova City's Holodeck, where the sound of her voice makes a subtle echo ]

Good afternoon.

[ She starts, clearing her throat for a moment and looking into the camera and trying to appear more composed. Speeches are hard ]

This last election has seen a very close competition for Nova City's Guardianship position. I have nothing but gratitude for those who voted in support of Gale Reinhardt and myself. I wish to congratulate Ms. Bulla Brief for having so much support, and wish her the best from this day forward. I hope to reward people's faith as a new Guardian of this city. I look forward to working with my fellow Guardians and working for the people of this city.

Now, our Guardian team could use another member. The loss of former Deputy Yang Xiao Long has yet to be mended, so I am here right now on Nova City's Holodeck. Consider this an interview should you be interested in the position. That's all. Thank you.

[ With a gesture of her hand, she makes a fist that shuts the feed off ]

At the military school I went to in that other universe, they had an introductory class introducing us to using all of the different kinds of weapons people could choose to specialize in, so I've got a basic grasp of a few weapons, and my brother has been teaching me how to use a sword more recently. At the school I wound up specializing in hand to hand combat, though, with my secondary specialties in negotiation and covert operations.

[Probably a little more well rounded than most would expect a teenager to be, but the girl has good genetics and a lot of drive.]

[ Ayame hums thoughtfully at Bulla's listed experience. Ayame does like Bulla's abilities and think it would be useful to have in the team, and the idea of another covert op specialist apart from Gale would be great. This gives her an idea of what sort of simulation she'll put Bulla through ]

An impressive résumé. Very well, I look forward to meeting you in person. I'll prepare your exam now, it should be ready by the time you arrive. Until then.

[ Ayame nods and closes the feed, waiting for Bulla's arrival. Once she makes it to the Holodeck lobby, a portal opens with Ayame on the other side beckoning her over so she gets to skip the lines. ]

Ms. Brief, please come in.

[ On the background, the room simulates a spacious desert canyon. Even with an arid desert wind blowing through the portal itself ]

[Bulla has brought a sword along, but she doesn't plan on using it that much. She's better at hand to hand combat.

She takes in the setting, curious about what the training scenario might entail. Survival, perhaps?]

Thanks for setting this up.
