Azure Frontier [Silence Before Deployment]

Tempest Hangar— A faint silence fell over the space filled with the scent of steel and machinery. On the maintenance hangar, the armored unit "Valkyria" stood quietly, awaiting deployment. With that silent, colossal figure behind her, Alicia sat leaning against the wall. Her white and blue pilot suit still held the heat of battle. But her eyes already held a sharp focus, fixed on the next battlefield. "...Soon, huh?" A small murmur directed no one in particular. But those words quietly foreshadowed the fierce battle to come. A brief rest— It was a fleeting "moment" granted to a warrior. Soon she would rise, and walk towards that giant figure. To return to the battlefield once more. That silence was the calm before the storm.
