[The question gets Bronya to turn her head; there's something of an impressed noise. Well, as impressed of one as she could make given her muted expression.]
Your friend certainly hits the ground running, doesn't she?
[Mei lets out an awkward chuckle as she finishes prepping a simple tuna sandwich for Inaba to eat.]
This wouldn't be her first time getting roped up in outlandish situations. We actually met in... a very similar context to what we're dealing with now.
Was that why you seemed to be spacing out here and there...?
Mm... well, I can't say it's the only thing, but we're on a bit of a tangent. [She finally turns to Inaba.] Inaba, this is Bronya. [Then to her fellow veteran.] Bronya, Inaba. [Then back again, as she gets to the point.] A lot's happened, and I think saying that is putting it very mildly.
[Bronya gestures to the crystal formations that dot the landscape of St. Fountain.]
Those crystals, the Rubrillites, are at the heart of our current problem. The long story short is that a handful of these formations are fueling the barrier that's cutting us off from outside, and those constructs you've seen roaming this city are guarding them.
We're not the only ones here, either; we have squads that are currently working on clearing those areas. We've only dealt with a handful of them at present, including the formation that dotted the road we just passed through.
It'll be a while before they come back, but I trust them. They can handle themselves just fine. [...it's as good a time as any to look at the issue of what Inaba can handle, too. After bringing the sandwich over to her, she joins Bronya at the window, mindful of her step.] The barrier originally cut us off only one way, leaving an opening through the nearby station, but right around the time Bronya came back from another part of the city with our squads, even that opening was gone.
I know you're not good with them, so I won't ask you to fight. But we'll need someone to monitor things, keep everyone in touch and call in help as soon as the barrier is dealt with.
