Sergeant Valerie Reyes walked cautiously through the corridors of the Questing Association Hub, her boots squeaking on the floor. It was eerily quiet. She stopped in front of a door. Portal Room it said. She took a deep breath and went inside.
An attendant stood beside an active portal. Valerie walked up to it nervously. She'd only ever been through one of these before, and it had been a complete accident. She stared at it and whispered under her breath. "I am Sergeant Valerie Reyes, of the Black Regiment assigned to the Capital. I know who I am." "You'll do great" said the attendant, smiling at her. Valerie tried to smile back, but it wasn't convincing. With a deep breath, she stepped through the portal.
The other end was a strange place, but she saw instantly why she had been requested for this mission. It seemed to be floating through space, but that wasn't why she was there. Valerie knew she was there because of the tech. She had a way with technology, it seemed to understand what she wanted it to do. If tech was involved, Valerie was the one you wanted, she always had been. She stood off to one side and waited for the rest of her party. She'd been told she wouldn't be alone on her first mission. After some time, Valerie had gotten bored, and was testing what she could do. She'd gotten as far as making the solar shutters on this apparent space station rise and fall at will by the time the portal behind her activated again.

Kina was sitting in a small flat on Earth, in a small place called Kent, when she received the message that the QA headquarters were sending her on another mission. She had packed a light bag, and her usual axe. Once again they had told her nothing of what to expect, so she'd had no idea of what she'd need, if anything.
Kina walked through the halls of HQ until she got to the portal room. She tapped on the door and walked in. The attendant handed her a piece of folded paper, "Here's your brief, step through when you're ready."
Kina opened the paper and scanned the paper quickly. "Right, got it." She screwed the paper up and threw it in a bin before launching herself through the portal.

When a woman seemed to hurtle out of the portal, Valerie was glad she'd had the sense not to stand in the way. She stared at the newcomer, wide-eyed and very confused. The shutters dropped with a clang behind her.

Kina stood up and brushed herself off. She looked around and gawped. She'd never been to space, and this place she found herself in was completely alien to her, but intrigued her as well.
She looked around until she noticed a young woman staring at her from not too far away. "No one ever tell you it's rude to stare?"

"No-one ever tell you it's weird to come flying out of a portal like that?" Valerie quipped back. She decided it wasn't the best comeback ever, but she was in a strange place with a strange woman and everything was new to her.

Kina chuckled to herself and wandered over to the woman, "QA?" was all she said. She thought it best to play safe, she didn't really think that anyone up here would know what she was talking about it they weren't a part of the QA.

Valerie nodded, cocking her head to one side questioningly as she did so. "I assume you are too?"

Kina stuck out her hand, waggling her claws as she nodded. "Sure am, I'm Kina."

Valerie shook Kina's hand, not seeming to care about the claws at all, though a static spark appeared for a moment as their hands met. "Reyes. Sergeant Valerie Reyes." She looked around "So what do you know about this mission? I was given very little detail and then told I'd be fine. This seems an illogical and glaring oversight in my opinion."

"That's HQ for you, really helpful people." Kina replied sarcastically. She decided it would be best to keep some of her information to herself until she could trust this Sergeant woman. "What did they tell you?"
