GC Tea House

[Ironwatsas]

It had been quiet in the almost a month since the 'incedent'. The Consortium presance on-base had been severely diminished as a result of diplomatic stress with the Sisterhood, as well as a significant increase in operations which necessisitated force redeployment. Even Watsas himself had departed Ainu, having only made two brief trips back since then to gather his lab equipment.

Several of the other regulars were also absent. During what became known as the 'battle of Ainu', Naomi had managed to hijack a Consortium Cyclops mech. She was immediately beset by the Consortium's Guardian Robots, resulting in a lopsided firefight inside Ainu's main hangar. Naomi soon transferred to Kiretsu wing on the Matsuda, and moved all of her personal possessions to Chanai, where there was yet virtually no Consortium presance.

Even the hopeless romantic Steve had been reassigned to other Consortium operations, to which little information was available. Indeed, the tea house had seemingly calmed to the state it was before the Consortium, Watsas, or any of the other activity from the past few months had arisen.

This however, was not to last...
