[It's not exactly as if they all have personal investment in the cause, so Mikumo can't really blame anyone for not being entirely on board. She was created to protect people, though, and she disdains doing nothing in situations like this, so it was pretty inevitable she'd throw herself into it.

The offer of a small automaton gets an amused sort of sound out of her as she prepares to set off again.]

No, I was here for the previous major one and the smaller ones last month. And when I say "smaller", I mean more along the lines of stealth and surveillance robots styled after things like insects, not a smaller dog.

[Mikumo's never had a pet before and never particularly had the desire to - if she wanted to hang around animals back home, she could simply go underwater on Ragna and swim with the jellyfish. Or, on very rare occasions, borrow the team mercat Querule.]

Is this your first one, then? [If he asked the question, then she assumes it might reflect his own situation.]
