"Are we going to find Rosmontis later?" Ifrit, who had filled up on water after eating only a third of her meal, asked Kanna beside her.
Kanna pointed to Nian next to her, "I still have some things to do, I need to go see the Doctor. After I'm done, we can head to the Greenhouse."
Ifrit stood up after hearing this. "Alright, Dahlia and I will go ahead. Bye bye!"
Another half an hour later, Nian leaned back in her chair, picking her teeth with a satisfied expression. "Honestly, this is the most satisfying meal I've had in a while. Lungmen, even though it's part of Yan, they eat such weird stuff. It's all soft and sweet, no fun at all..."
"If you're full, let's go find the Doctor! I need to eat too once we're done!" Although she wouldn't feel hungry from not eating for a long time, seeing others enjoy their meal so much made Kanna's appetite stir.
After paying, the two walked towards the Control Room.
Inside, they found many people, but Kal'tsit wasn't there. Upon asking, they learned that many Infected from Lungmen had arrived, and some patients were in critical condition, so Kal'tsit was tied up in the Medical Department for a while.
"Kanna, today's drill was excellent. Keep up the good work next time!" Seeing Kanna approach, the Doctor put down his documents and raised his fist in encouragement.
"Don't try to sweet-talk me! I came to tell you that I've found a squad member, and also to ask for your advice on any Sniper Operators who might be able to join." Kanna sat down opposite the Doctor with a confident air, then pointed to Nian, who had come in with her.
"And this is?" The Doctor recalled, confident that he had reviewed all Operator files, but there was no memory of the young woman before him in his mind.
"Oh, I'm Nian, from Yan. I just joined Rhodes Island. Kanna invited me to join her team yesterday, so I went to HR and got an Operator identity... I just got it this morning, pretty fresh, right!" Nian pointed to her brand new ID badge on her chest, saying with some pride.
???
The Doctor looked at Kanna beside him in confusion. Logically, as Rhodes Island's frontline commander, he shouldn't be unaware of any new Operators.
"Oh, Kal'tsit had HR process it directly for her. Nian's situation is a bit special, so there was no test. By the way, what kind of Operator credential did the HR department issue you?"
Seeing the Doctor look over, Kanna immediately explained what Nian's words had made him confused about.
"Category? The person in charge of HR at the time asked me what I was good at, and I casually said I was good at protection and defense. It says here... Operator Nian specializes in frontline defense and battle line control. According to the field department's resolution, she is classified as a Defender Operator for field missions, performing the duties of an Iron Guard. This badge is specially issued as proof... What is all this stuff?"
Nian held her ID badge and read the description of the Operator credential word for word.
Kanna patted her on the back. "Don't worry about the small details, it doesn't really affect much, does it?"
Nian handed the ID badge to the Doctor, then sat next to Kanna. "That's true, but where's your ID badge? Hmm, Support Operator? Are you kidding me?"
Nian picked up Kanna's ID badge in front of her and asked, looking puzzled.
"That's right, I'm super good at support! These are minor details. Just because you're classified as a Defender, does that mean you can't do other things? This classification is just to choose a specialty to make it easier for HR to deploy and form teams for field missions." This ID badge was remade for her by Kal'tsit after she obtained the Thunder Punishment Evil Star Eye. Previously, her ID badge stated that she specialized in special operations, so she was classified as a Specialist Operator.
Nian thought about it and realized it was true. For "people" like them, even if they weren't omnipotent, they were close enough. Being labeled with certain tags didn't mean they weren't good at other things.
While the two were chatting, the Doctor also entered Nian's identity into Kanna Squad's roster of combat personnel.
"Regarding Medical Operators, Gavial approached me earlier and said she's very busy in the Medical Department and probably won't be able to join your team for a short period, so she recommended two others. She also said she's already spoken to you, right?"
As he sent Nian's card back, the Doctor asked Kanna beside him.
Kanna nodded. "Yes, I talked to Gavial earlier, and she recommended Doctor Anto and Sister Folinic."
The Doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Regarding these two, I will talk to Doctor Kal'tsit and them personally. I believe there will be results very soon."
After speaking, the Doctor handed Kanna two more Operator profiles. "Regarding the Sniper Operators you mentioned, I also have two candidates here. Take a look, and if they're suitable, I'll have them meet you directly."
Kanna didn't expect the Doctor to have found teammates for her so quickly. It seemed he had been prepared all along.
She took the information, and the first thing she saw was, well, another familiar face... Seeing Kanna's strange expression, the Doctor leaned over and tapped the papers in her hand. No problem, he hadn't picked up the wrong ones. Why was Kanna's expression so odd? Blue Poison, this was the Doctor's first choice.
"Operator Blue Poison, in addition to being skilled in sniping, also possesses exceptional talent in concocting medicines, making her a highly versatile talent with great potential..."
"Her cakes are also delicious," Kanna interjected.
"That's right! Uh, you two know each other?" One second the Doctor was savoring the taste of the cake Amiya had brought him earlier, the next he realized Kanna might know her.
"Sister Blue Poison was one of the first people I met after joining Rhodes Island..." Kanna returned Blue Poison's report to the Doctor.
The Doctor reached out to scratch his head, but startled Frostnova, who was sleeping on his head.
Looking at Frostnova, who had jumped onto the table and was now being held by Kanna, the Doctor's embarrassment was palpable even through his thick helmet.
"Alright, my apologies for being presumptuous. But Operator Blue Poison is indeed very suitable for your needs. Do you know this other one?"
At this moment, Kanna was gently scratching Frostnova's chin with one hand while looking at another Operator profile. However, she was a bit confused; was this person at Rhodes Island at this time?
Surtur — a Liberi girl from Columbia, skilled in skateboarding and mobile shooting.
"Surtur is one of the people recently approved for Operator promotion. Although she's not as comprehensive as Blue Poison, she performs excellently in mobile combat and close-range precise physical damage, and is also very suitable for your squad's special operations style..."
The Doctor placed both reports in front of Kanna for her to choose.
