As the dropship flew over the night sky, with its pilots and eight Hunters on noard, there was one who just wasn't satisfied, so to speak.

Alicia Blue had heard of the mission, all right. As a Huntress-In-Training in her junior year, she was quite qualified for the job, finding a shipwreck before the White Fang could.

She was the only one selected from her team as the others were engaged in other missions.

She liked the pay. She loved the opportunity to kick butt, too.

What she couldn't endure was this - sitting in a dropship with nothing to do for several hours travelling to the DD-13 Borealis. Granted she could sit in this heavily armored, more beautiful craft instead ofstanding in the average Bullhead, but still, the boredom was there.

''Ugh. Why can't this dropship move faster? I just want to go out there and kick butt, not sit in this seat with nothing to do for about nine straight hours!''

She had tried to sleep. She had looked out the window, and only saw the night sky and the dark seas. She had nobody to talk to. Even playing several rounds of Raging Avians, with its high-tech CGI graphics and multiple camera views of birds smashing into pigs in buildings on her Scroll, didn't stave off the monotomy of the trip.

She tried to fidget around with her dress, and kicked her feet in the air randomly, but even that wouldn't last long.

So she turned to thinking and observing her environment. The other members of the party included two heavily-armored and awesome looking girls, a shark Faunus, two guys who she guessed were friends, if not brothers, a Huntress that looked oddly like Professor Goodwitch's curly-haired, tanned doppelganger, and a Huntress disguised in a trench coat with cargo pants and an ornate white mask, occasionally peeking out of the grocery flyers.

Other thoughts also surrounded her mind. For starters, she wondered if this mission involved going underwater. After all, they were heading to a sunken ship on the beach. Then she wondered if there would be special armor or some kind of outfits that would allow the eight of them to operate underwater. She calmed herself, and proceeded to ask the Huntress that looked like Goodwitch.

"'Scuse me, do you know how long this ride will be? I can't wait for the mission to start."

After a brief pause, she also asked another question.

"And you know what's weird? This mission is near a sunken ship on the beach, near water. Do you think we'll have scuba diving gear to fight the White Fang with?"
