Jin is warming up near a big, lone fir tree in Garden Zone 1, doing stretches as he waits. He's rested and ready to go, but Tick and Tock are regarding him with dubious looks. They're seated on the ground before him, tails swishing in unison.
"Is this truly a--"
"--wise idea, Jin Tian? Most--"
"--of these people here are quite mortal. Human,--"
"--squishy, as it were. You might--"
"--make a mistake. Get one of them--"
"--killed. And you should be working--"
"--exclusively on the scanner."
Jin jogs in place. He's in a good mood, and even the cats can't dampen it right now.
"I know, I've thought of all that. That's why I'm counting on you guys! My reaction times are good, but yours are even better. If it comes to something like, I might accidentally cut someone, obviously I'll try to stop myself but I'm counting on you two as the last resort. I'll make sure no one gets hurt." He chuckles. "And I'm not too worried about me. I don't mind getting hurt. Anyway...I really do need to stay in practice. Anything can come through that rift. I can afford a few hours of a break from the scanner. Everyone's helping me, anyway!"
The clockwork cats tip their heads to the side.
"Then you have declared this--"
"--station to be your jurisdiction?"
Jin doesn't answer right away, shaking his arms out to loosen them out.
"Yeah," he says finally. "Yeah, for now, I think so. I'm sure not going to just sit by if the star eaters show up."
