It was Seraphim who spoke. She rose gracefully to her feet and began walking toward Vega with a calm and welcoming smile on her face.
She seemed completely unbothered by Dale, who was still sweating profusely on the ground, clearly overwhelmed by what had happened earlier.
"The name's Seraphim," she said as she introduced herself with a slight bow of the head.
"I'm Vega," Vega responded politely, returning the smile with one of her own.
"It's nice to finally have another woman on the team. It's such a headache dealing with these men on a daily basis," Seraphim said with a long, exaggerated sigh as if to emphasize her frustration.
"I understand your plight. Men are indeed bothersome," Vega replied without hesitation, her voice light with amusement.
Seraphim nodded in agreement, then turned to face the rest of the team as she began to introduce each member one by one.
