"Where have you been?" Ari asked NOVA in a harsh whisper.
[Upgrading myself.]
[And I see that you've been causing a mess left, right, and center.]
[Getting arrested.]
[Getting suspended.]
[Wow.]
[I'm surprised you didn't end up in jail to hit a home run of messing things up completely.]
Well, that almost happened.
He was just lucky.
Not wanting to talk about his past missteps, Ari decided to change the subject smoothly.
"So what did you get from your upgrade? It must be something nice since you were gone for so long. Show me. Tell me."
[Things that will be useful for you.]
[However, at this rate of completing your missions, it might be decades before I can even give them to you as a reward.]
[I can't believe you're still on this mission board.]
[Sigh.]
"Hey! While you were taking a long nap in the name of upgrading, I was busy."
[Excuses, Excuses.]
"Pull up the mission board, please."
[Here.]
[Mission Board #5]
