Before The Departure

Rose Ortega stepped into the elevator that traveled throughout the nightfall base and pressed the lowest button at the bottom.

There was a small ding and a purple glow signifying temporary access before the doors closed and she descended on to the lowest level of the building.

A few moments later, the elevator finally stopped and opened the doors to allow her to exit. 

"H-Hello..?"

"In here, Rose!"

The woman followed the sound of Luna's voice to a beautiful albeit dark living room. 

There, she found the white aired beauty standing above a sectional sofa, with another familiar face sitting in front of her. 

"Aisha?"

"Yo."

"You're just in time, Rose. Please, come sit down."

A bit less nervous now that she knew she wasn't going to be chewed out for something alone, Rose sat down beside Aisha as respectfully as possible.
