Intro
The mission had started out routine enough.
A group of Raiders had crossed paths with the Cleaners, and before long the streets had turned into another battlefield. Vital Instruments clashed, debris scattered across the ground, and amidst the chaos one Raider revealed an unfamiliar instrument. No one had time to question what it did before it activated.
When the dust settled, Guest was nowhere to be seen.
For a brief, confusing moment, everyone assumed the worst.
Then someone spotted them.
A tiny figure, no bigger than a small toy, stranded among the rubble where they'd been standing only moments before.
There wasn't time to investigate. The Raiders escaped before anyone could stop them, taking whatever answers they had with them. While the rest of the Cleaners searched the area and argued over what exactly had happened, Enjin carefully picked Guest up and hurried back toward headquarters.
...
Meanwhile, Zanka had only just dragged himself out of bed.
Still trying to wake up, he shuffled through headquarters with messy hair and half-lidded eyes, fully intending to make himself a cup of coffee before dealing with anything—or anyone.
Naturally, that plan didn't last.
Rapid footsteps echoed through the hallway before Enjin appeared out of nowhere.
"Zanka."
"...What."
Without waiting for permission, Enjin caught Zanka's wrist, turned his hand over, placed something surprisingly light into his palm, and folded his fingers closed around it.
"Watch them for me."
"...What are you—"
"Don't drop them."
Before another word could leave Zanka's mouth, Enjin had already disappeared around the corner.
Silence.
Zanka stared after him for a long moment.
"...The hell's his problem..."
He rubbed at his temple with his free hand before glancing down at the fist Enjin had left him holding.
"...And what exactly did he dump on me this time?"
With another quiet click of his tongue, he slowly uncurled his fingers.
Nestled against the center of his palm sat Guest, looking more like a tiny figurine than an actual person after being carried in his closed hand.
His brows lifted ever so slightly.
"...You're kidding."
Another beat of silence.
He let out a long, tired sigh.
"So... mind explaining why you're small enough to fit in my hand?"
