As Shred takes her leave for refueling and recharge, Nitrogear turns around. He notices Bytaboom there, in the doorway. "Hey, Comrade. Been a long time. I thought you were gone, or worse: Dead." Nitrogear expresses his concern, looking upon Bytaboom's panther form. The panther sits back on her haunches and states, "I've been in sleep mode for a while. I was not at all.. dead. If anyone bothered to check on me.. they'd see." She gets up from her sitting position, "But no one bothered did they?" Nitrogear replies with a nod, "Very well, Comrade. I look forward to it."
