"Okay. Still thank you. I need to pay you back somehow." She said. "Perhaps I could pay you for some explosives them for your next mission?" She suggested moving to pay for her things.

"I dunno about that... I mean, explosives are expensive, and I didn't spend anything for you, I'm just waiting a bit to buy something", she said cheerfully. "Don't worry 'bout it. If it's that important, maybe we can just agree you owe me one?" she said.

As she was leaving she passed by an old man with a long beard, an old brown hat, grey coat and similarly simple-looking clothes and shoes. The man was reading a newspaper, but his gaze followed her as she moved.
"Excuse me, miss? May I take a moment of your time?"

"I'm told you're a collector of rare items and valuable objects of various kinds. I am a provider of such items", he said with a tip of his hat. "A merchant of sorts. And as such, I thought I would offer you my card", he suggested, handing her a simple, small cardboard card.
On it was nothing else but a simple phone number printed cleanly black on white with what seemed to be a logo made to look like the old man's old hat.

"Of course. Have a good day", he said, getting up and leaving.
Stella returned to her dorm without incident, where she found Jenna apparently taking inventory of her ammunition. "Hey. You got a mission going for tomorrow?"

"I'd like to come along if it's alright", she requested. "...I need to let off some steam."

"Alright. If you insist." She said nodding. "Something bad happen?" She asked sending notice of the temporary new member of her party to the group via group text.

She got no objection from the others.
"...Yeah. I lost a friend of mine", she said, staring blankly into space. "...Artillery shot got'em. Never had a chance."

Who was visibly enthusiastic at the thought of being fed more, eagerly joining her.
"Yeah. Thanks. She knew the risks, but... yeah, doesn't make it any easier", she said bitterly. "What's your job anyway? Chances we'll be fighting stuff?"
