Fulgur shrinks slightly in embarrassment as Kidd laughs.Asked if they threw carrots at him,the boy shakes his head."N-no, s-Mr Kidd..the virus, electric elementals...I'm the s-same element, so they weren't much more then a nuisance, but one was a plasma, and well..." He holds out his cloak, revealing a smoking hole."T-they ruined my cloak, and nearly my...otherside..." Asked if Legion was here, Ful shakes his head."N-no...Just trapped me on a lake bottom and left."

"I guess I did win! Heehee~ W-whew... Gasp... Gasp..."
Dagger sat beside Revved in the Command Center. That sudden show of speed made him gasp for air. It was a long time since he moved anywhere fast enough to climb four floors in under a minute.
Besides him, a silver-coloured NormalNavi sat, followed by Russet, the bronze-coloured HeelNavi.
"Hey, are you sure this is alright? I'm not a prospective member yet."
"Don't worry. I have faith in your fighting skills. You did say you just won a match in the Undernet, right?"
"Yeah, I did! He began shooting at me with those ice bullets, so I gave him the taste of the ol' Crushing Fist! HYAAH!!"
The chrome-coloured NormalNavi then gestured a powerful straight punch. Fire sparked as it was launched, and the speed of it was also tremendous, ultimately startling Dagger.
"W-wah! That was really fiery... Hey, isn't it kinda hot in here? Won't you get sweaty underneath that helmet, Revved?"
"Ice bullets? You're not saying..."

Catching a bit of Fulgur's conversation about earlier, Rev deduced that the navi who supposedly created the book that Dagger & himself sought after was the 'Legion' spoken of.
Rubbing the chin of his helmet, Rev decided to keep that navi in mind, in case of a later encounter...
As the navi near Dagger demonstrated a fiery straight punch, Revved simply watched, glancing at Dagger with a questioning look in response to his question.
"If I were a human, then yes, maybe I would feel hot with this helmet on. But it's comfortable enough to buff extreme temperatures. No fog should form on the visor from within." he explained, elaborately.
"But now's not the time for that..."

"Oh! Right... We aren't human anymore. Heehee~ Hey, is something bothering you? You seem to be thinking in depth."
A scatter-brain but still perceptive, Dagger couldn't help but notice Revved rub his chin in thought.
However, he couldn't guess what it was, either.

Kidd was surprised when he noticed the navi that walked in with Russet.
"Oh, hey! You made it. To be honest, I was about to go track you down to invite you here, and ask your name. Mine would be Kidd."
Then he looked to Des, waving him over.
"Hey, this was the navi I was talking about earlier."
And then his attention was back on Kaiser.
"Man, that was quite the match back there, gave me some ideas on how to change the way I fight."

"I knew it... So it was really Kidd you're talking about. What a small world..."
"Whoa! You're also here? What a small world indeed! Oh, yes! That match livened me up as well! You've reignited the fire of battle that burns within me! I'm Kaiser, by the way. Nice to be here!" Kaiser then offers his fist, hinting a fistbump in place of a handshake. Not the most formal of gestures. Typical of Murder's Navi.
"Well, that makes it a lot easier. I'm glad Murder also had no problem with having you brought here. What a strangely considerate guy..."
"Hey! Murder's not as rough a person as you think."
"Right... Hey, Leader, have you seen Khepri around? He doesn't seem to be in this facility... Or so my eyes show me."
"Leader?! O-oh!" Kaiser then abruptly stood up and bowed.
"I'm Kaiser. Russet invited me here..."
Just beside Kaiser, Dagger stares at them in awe. "Wow... What a reunion... I wonder when I'll get to see her again, too." It was then immediately replaced with a deep thought of his own. The Navi that gave him the courage to live as a Navi himself.
He can't remember what she looked exactly like, either.

Riiiiight. Leader... Hard to call it that with him acting like he does. Really only leader in name it seemed. Desperado had been the one doing all the work back here and gathering everyone together, while these ones were off getting their behinds handed to them in Creamland. Seeing as Kidd clearly wasn't going to start the overview, once again it was up to Desperado to fill in. Though somehow this seemed right. Something pulled inside for this, how strange.
It tones his personality a bit more serious with this work, almost being in this building seemed to be doing it. Perhaps it was the concentration, similar to when he's working on his bots. It was hard to tell, but something honed him a little more here, something with purpose.
"Good... Most of you seem to be here. That'll do I suppose. Now lets begin the Orientation."
Desperado stood up from his seat, standing next to Kidd, still their "Leader", facing the rest of the navis.
"To those who are coming back from the initial campaign in Creamland, welcome back. To those who are here for the first time, welcome. We are the International Navi Defense Force. In light of the ONB's inactivity and Juno's impending threat, we have decided to band together a group to help to protect those navis that need protection against the forces which would cause chaos and destruction.
If you should choose to continue and become a part of our organization, you shall be given a badge to indicate such. This badge provides a number of functions. Be aware however, that by brandishing this badge you represent that which the INDF stands for. Freedom against those who would oppress others. To do that which goes against this would bring about the full weight of your sins against you with the full force that the INDF can muster.
To that end, those of you looking to become members, please step forward. Our organization is still in its early stages, so likely many things will be asked of you before we create proper ranking and titles. All while responding as best we can to threats as they appear."
Desperado awaits the response of those new members. To his knowledge they were the winged navi, the Silver NormalNavi, and the Green/Red helmeted navi. Those already a part of the INDF would get their badges in due time. But increasing their numbers came first.

"Good luck."
"Y-yes..."
Kaiser, in his first time joining an organization of any sort, stood up reluctantly and took a step forward. He couldn't help but get scared, even if his intentions aren't stained.
Russet, on the other hand, crossed his legs and arms as he stared at Desperado perceptively. Calmly. The distaste Des has to our proclaimed Leader. Russet can't help but feel it, too.
He leaned back his head in deep thought.
I know, Des. Look at you. Even at this point, you're the one doing the things the Leader ought to do. Truly, justice is yet to come.
"Ooh, this is fun!"
Dagger stood up, revealing his torn indigo suit and slacks in full view. Barefoot, untrimmed claws and messy white hair, he could still stand proud because of his wings, his flames, his uncanny existence, and most of all, his oblivion.
...
W-what's next...?
Hmm, hmm hmm~
They were side by side. Three flames of destruction, forming a triangle of unity.

Paying deep attention to Desperado's words, Revved pondered over them, rubbing the chin of his helmet.
"I'm all for helping navis everywhere and such...is it possible I'd still be able to assist you all without officially joining?" he asked. It was evident he wasn't sure about joining all of a sudden...after-all, Revved mainly came on a whim since it seemed more fun than staying behind at the Lake Network...
'Hm...and then, if I don't join them, I won't be able to fully assist...' he thought to himself silently...
With the rogue-like part of him kicking against the helpful part, Rev figured he'd wait for Des' reply first. Contrary to his movements, Revved felt the need to not speed ahead of the others as far as this decision...

Fulgur looks up as Des speaks, welcoming them back and greeting new recruits. He smiles, nodding. It was good, them getting comrades...Hopefully they'd all be good friends.But, his brow furrows. Where was Kephri, and Ion? He hoped the second was OK...The last he saw him was the Creamland Incident...
The boy sighs, then smiles as Azreal steps up. He'd be a good addition, for sure. The angel like navi had healed him without hesitation.Then Russet and another, flame navi step up. Ful hoped to get to know them better.He listens as Revved asks a question.

Grabbing three of the programs, Desperado steps up to those new recruits, a small stack still remaining for those who already were determined to join plus a few others for additional members. To each of the winged and the silver navi he handed one of the programs, stopping before the helmeted one.
"Friends are welcome, especially in our Genesis. But you should be aware that you will not be granted access to our facilities until such a time that you join, and contact will be slightly more difficult. Direct access into our facilities will be limited following security measures coming online shortly.
You are free to refrain from joining if you so choose, and we would appreciate your assistance whenever possible. But we will be unable to provide you with whatever benefits end up coming from being a part of the INDF. This I am sure you are aware of."
Strange that choice of words, perhaps something of that tug. It was hard to say for sure. But the point still stood, Revved would not be allowed certain information and clearance, after such a time comes where those measures need to be taken. In this early state however, membership or lack thereof only had a few differences.

After Desperado addressed his question, Rev weighed the pros and cons in his mind...noticing that the cons portion was noticeably lacking in contrast.
Scratching the side of his helmet, Revved made up his mind on the matter. Even if he earned a new duty and purpose, that didn't mark out his freedom...
Rising from his seat and walking forward, Revved stopped before Desperado.
"Well, since you guys seem like a good group and all, I see no reason for me not to join you all." he spoke, throwing a thumbs-up in Desperado's direction. "Looking forward to working with you all!"

"Me too!" Dagger delightfully held his palms together and placed them on her cheek as he smiled a child's smile at Revved and the rest of the group.
"U-uh, mm..." Kaiser followed with a nod and a reluctantly-omitted affirmative.
Russet sat quietly, nodding at the joyous scene.

"Kaiser, Don't bow. We're all equals here, and I'm really only a leader in name and on paper. I do the fighting, yes, but so far, Des has done just about everything else. Besides, I'm not exactly as good as he is about speeches. Anyway, now that you're in, let's hit the training room. I mean, the other guys are going to be stronger, so we have to train ourselves until we can get to their level."
After saying this, Kidd made his way downstairs and started working on a training program.

Desperado handed Revved his badge program, Heading back to the desk to pick up the ones for the rest of the members, handing them out each in turn. With everyone having their badge program, Desperado moved back toward where he stood previously. To give his last bit of information.
"With this, you are all officially members of the INDF. Both in name and in purpose. This badge will provide you with a Comm link to easily contact other members and waypoint creator to allow other members to teleport to you easily if need be. It also will be the only way to teleport directly into INDF Facilities. Everyone please install this program now.
As we are just starting out in a period of relative quietness, many of our missions for the time being will be reconnaissance missions and patrol. Be ready to react as new threats appear however. For now however...
Welcome to the INDF."
It felt right somehow. Desperado felt like this was taking the right step, as if this was something he had been trying to do for a long time. How strange a situation. Still, his shoulders lowered as the orientation came to a close. The first step in creating something that until now, it wasn't really clear that he wanted to create. If only Sieg could see him now, Desperado thought, maybe not the navi his programmer imagined, but something becoming great all the same.
Desperado stood around still, waiting for the group to disperse. Kidd looked as if he was going to train some more. Good for him, he would need it after all.
