It's Lorica. She's finally out of her dad's old cracked helmet and in a sleek new one she presumably built herself. She walks past Lucien and Clockblocker to see what's in the fridge.

"Oh! Hi!" Lucien knew this person might visit!

"So you're the mysterious tinker that's been squatting in our workshop?" Clockblocker asks, grinning and offering a handshake.

"I've been here for weeks and I was given to understand you all knew my codename and that I'm Transit's kid."

"Sure, you've been here like Gallant's here a week after Victoria's given him the cold shoulder." Clockblockers replies, smirking.

She decides to respond to the extended hand by tossing Clockblocker a soda.

Clockerblocker catches it and holds it to his heart. "You wound me," he says sarcastically, cracking it open.

Lucien finally gets over his embarrassment at Clockblocker's antics, he supposes that all things considered this is a low stakes environment to practice this leadership vital skill.

"Yeah um. I'm Lucien, captain. My cape name is Tunnel Teen but I don't go by it out of costume," he says, demasking.

"Nice to be formally introduced. I'm Lorica." She does not say out loud that she has much better taste in cape names.

"You have good taste in cape names," he says, a bit enviously.

"Thanks. It's Latin."

"What's it mean?"

"Armor."

"Ah, I got mine assigned by PR after this one pulled his naming stunt," he says, gesturing at Clockblocker.

Clockblocker has gotten bored of this conversation and is reading manga but can flip Lucien off while turning the page.

"Huh. I wonder if Dad had to pull strings to get me the chance to pick mine. What would you have gone with?"

"I didn't actually have anything in mind when they brought up that it was going to be Tunnel Teen. But, really, anything besides Tunnel Teen."

"Your power is... tunneling?"

"More like trenches and furrows. Useful for battlefield control. I can also put them in structures to knock them down and such. No actual tunneling but I can weaken a wall in a pinch."

"PR liked the alliteration better for Tunnels and doesn't particualrly care about how it only matched on a surface level."

Clockblocker snorts in the background, amused at the unintentional pun.

"Well, at least you'll have an obvious excuse to ditch the name when you're a bit older, I guess."

"Yeah," he should probably get on that.

"You going to be joining patrols?" he asks, bringing up the schedule on the touchscreen.

"I'll need to build a little more but sure, once I've got more robots and my full suit."

"Do you have ideas of how you'd fit in patroling-wise?"

"I think when I've got all the things on my to-do list built I'll be a good fit for solo patrols."

"Hm, the usual policy is to avoid solo patrols even for experienced wards."

"Understandable. I'd also be happy to accompany my dad if that's something you do."

"You could accompany Transit some, but part of the point of the paired patrols is supposed to be ward team building."

"Well, I hardly know anyone well enough to guess how I'd mesh personality-wise. My power's - summarizable as robotics."
