After allowing the agent some time to get settled in her temporary quarters (still guarded and without access to ship's systems or holonet), Tiktik knocked on the door. A moment later she found the doorchime and pressed it, just as Nelaa Kyris opened the door.

"Ah!" Tiktik grinned. She was short and dark, with striking brown eyes that seemed nearly liquid gold when the light caught them just right. She wore the armor with the scratches on it that the agent would recognize from before, but her helmet was off. "Come. You are to be tested in Battle Circle."

She flashed a smile again, her teeth crooked enough to be noticeable as some overlapped each other in the front. "Don't worry, we will not take it easy on you, but your life is safe."
