Vent had spent the last month or so putting together a Mission for the Guardians; to find and catalogue all the new Biometal that have been appearing in recent times. He'd assigned the most reliable Guardians available to assist with the mission. They were doing the same thing he was doing, which was basically exploring various areas, looking for Biometal (and the people they belonged to.)

The plan for all of them was to use scanners they had to locate the Biometal. All their scanners could detect Biometal within a 100-meter radius of the device. The device could also scan any Biometal, determining its abilities and such, and upload them to a data bank in the Guardians' base.

After delegating locations for the others to explore, Vent thought he would be clever by exploring the junkyard. There'd surely been rumors and hearsay from the cityfolk about those who would come out to the junkyard looking for discarded treasures. Vent had heard about some Biomatches exploring before, so he figured he'd come here to explore. It was a less likely to spot a Biometal than, say, actually within the city.

Vent had already been out here for a couple hours or so, looking around, digging through the trash, turning up nothing. He was taking a break, sitting down on a pile of garbage. He sighed and leaned back. He'd pick it up again in a few more minutes, he said to himself.

[Galeno & Model Gr]

Galeno and Model Gr were also searching through the junkyards, but for a different reason. The Reploid was convinced he had seen a piece of cobalt during his last visit, and his newest experiment required the ore.

"I'm telling you, I saw the dang thing!" Galeno muttered at his Biometal. He cursed as he cut his hand, artificial blood seeping out.

If Model Gr had some eyes, he would've rolled them. His partner made too many assumptions. "And I'm currently telling you to be careful," he replied from Galeno's pocket. "You shouldn't have to damage yourself. Perhaps it was just a glint of some other ore?"

The other shrugged, "No, it looked like cobalt." Getting up and dusting off his hands with a sigh of defeat, the Reploid spotted Vent. "Hey, that guy looks depressed," he murmured to himself. Walking over, Galeno waved. "Yo dude, what's wrong? Need help finding something?"

[Model X Vent]

Vent looked over at Galeno from a short distance away. He didn't say anything, staring at him with a somewhat blank expression. He looked back and took a look at his Biometal tracking device, which was indeed showing that there was one right where Galeno was standing. He pocketed his device and walked over, covering the distance between them. "No thank you. In fact, I think I almost found it." He said, mostly trying to keep his motives on the down low for now, just to be on the face side. He'd have to learn more about Galeno first.

"Anyway, hi. My name's Vent." He held his hand out to him.
