"...neural handshake stable, Neural oscillation coming to phase B, conscious restored in 3, 2, 1..."
A bit weird to have a semi-monotone voice announcing your own wake up, especially when there seemed to be a muffled "ayy" at the end of the statement, but nonetheless, the pair woken up from their container, and immediately noticing the hooded humanoid floating in front.
"Huh?" "you are?"
Two voices almost emit in unison, before the pair stare at each other bewilderingly, discombobulated by the sheer amount of information, slimy appearance of their partner, the simple plastic container which they are still sitting in, as well as the unique sensation when they will their own body to move around to name a few.
"Before any explanation, do you two remember anything before this?"
"uh...." "...nothing, not even my own identity."
"Hm... judging from your expressions, you two still complies to your original sets of logic...anything that you two want to know first?"
"Your identity, our identity, this place, and what is our purpose?"
"What happened just now before we woken up? how did we end up like this?"
"I am Mainframe, leader of Crimson Republic. You two are Gevurah and Chesed respectively, remember that name as that shall be your identity. This place is Xaneroth, our faction's capital planet, or at least, was our capital planet. You two was in an unfortunate accident due to some...malpractice by a member of ours, which...lets just say you two took longer to wake up than expected, and require some additional..... interference."
"Without further ado, you two will be under command of Gillian, who will be waiting outside."
"Hey there!"
As expected, Gillian, the now not-so-fat guy, just casually sits on one side of a C-shaped sofa, drinking something from a pretty small cup.
"Here, do take a seat."
Gillian settles down his empty cup on his lap, and begin chugging on a water bottle with such haste its safe to assume he isn't quite fond of what he just experienced.
Meanwhile, the pair simply sits adjacent to Gil, quietly watching him drain the bottle.
"phew...you two just woken up eh?"
"......" "Affirmative."
"hm.........how should i do this....ahh, how bout pick an alphabet?"
"Uh....U?" "...V sounds nice."
"well then...you shall be named Umbra, and you shall be Victor, got it?"
"...Named?" "Ain't we named as "Chesed" and "Gevurah" already?"
"eh...thats just a codename, i want you two to have an actual name which i can refer to...at least, outside of operations... would you two accept it?"
"......"
"...you can reply to that later if you wish..."
"Alright, Victor shall be my name."
"....well...Umbra's a good one...i'll graciously accept it."
"Thanks for the trust...now, did Mainframe told you what you two should do?"
"Nothing much..."
"Mainframe simply told us to be under command of you."
"Huh...well then, although we do need all the help we could find, i don't really want to abduct random people as allies, as i don't necessary feel like exploiting others......so, first order, listen up."
"There should be quite an adventure ahead, so do aid me in the journey as i won't be able to do it alone. Not as just goons under my command, but as my sidekick...do you two copy?"*
