"EHHH?!?!"
Pika jolted, eyes wide as he stared at his boss in the cybersecurity department. His mouth opened and closed until he finally found his voice.
"Me?" he pointed at himself. "I am… I am getting what?"
His boss laughed, looking at Pika across the desk. "Congratulations on your promotion, Pika," he said with an approving nod. "I've always known you'd go far with your skills. The higher-ups want you to pick your own team for the mission assessment department that was recently opened."
Although Atlas had only just returned home, he had already prepared some things while still in Ravah. He had long wanted a separate technical support team for missions, but since the security department could handle the work, it had been put on hold.
After Pika's performance during the Ravah mission, it pushed Atlas to finally open this department specializing in mission support, now that their cybersecurity was stable. More importantly, he wanted Pika to be the team captain.
