Did she overreact? Yes. Is she embarrassed about that fact? A little.

Is she going to admit that? Fuck no.

"I dinnae want t'be thinkin' 'bout how playin' games is s'pposed t' be like havin' sex! Yer gonna get all inside m' head an' now I ain't gonna be able to play them without thinkin' 'bout that and--" The rest tapers off into a sharp huff, her words not really coming out in the way she wants them to.

well, that's a heck of an overreaction for agreeing with her.

qrow holds his hands out in surrender, even though his face looks a little irrittated "...oooo-kay."

Cue the panicked sputtering, hands flying up over her ears in a rather childish display of disgust. "That is not even REMOTELY what I was sayin', ye daft pervert!"

"yeah, actually, i'm with th' little lady. fightin' and fuckin' feel pretty much th' same after, if y'do 'em right."

"I let off steam," leaves a bit more defensively than perhaps was necessary. Lips pouting as she huffs, "I play fightin' games. Practically th' same thing."

“WELL, when you’re busy saving the world, it can be fun to let off a little steam.” But he clearly didn’t deny her statement.

Huh? Cameron's attention pulls away from the screens, blinking a bit to clear away the haze to see the boy standing in the doorway of the labs. He was young, he barely looked as if he was old enough to actually be enrolled in Atlas -- but his question seems to jumpstart her brain, and she snaps her fingers.

That's right. There was one of the kids who hadn't been at Beacon, who she didn't have much footage of, nothing really to work off of. The General had been a bit secretive about who this kid even was; if Polendina knew, he was keeping it to himself.

"Oscar, right?" A couple of quick hand motions send the screens back to the walls, where the projections continue to run short video loops: their brief fight upon their arrival in Mantle. RWBY and JNPR's Vytal tournament fights. The few shaky bits of footage that could be retrieved from the AK's at the Fall of Beacon. Hopping up from her chair, she shoots the boy a bright smile, "If yer lookin' fer Pietro, he stepped out fer lunch with Penny. Should be back in... twenty minutes or so?"

Still... she moves her hands again, and as if she pulled the screen back off the wall, she pulls up the one clip she had of Oscar fighting down in Mantle. "General said yer pretty... particular 'bout yer weapon. Figured you'd want someone you trusted workin' on it, so... seein' as we've just met, guess that ain't me."

There wasn't an ounce of irritation in her expression; she understood how protective Huntsmen could be about their weapons. She's maybe just a hair disappointed that she won't get to play with it. "What's she called?"

Oscar was still getting used to the fact that, even though he'd certainly never been to Atlas before, he seemed to know his way around fairly well. Most of the time, he didn't have to ask anyone where he was supposed to go; he just….knew the way. Of course, that didn't mean he never got lost, but before…, he knew he definitely would have.

Everyone had been offered weapons upgrades…, but he didn't think that applied to him. He was….very protective of Long Memory, and he didn't much like letting it out of his sight these days.

Still, he wanted to thank Doctor Polendina himself and let him know that he didn't need to work on anything for him. But when he got to where he'd been directed, he didn't see the man anywhere in sight.

"Excuse me," he said to the young woman working, "I was supposed to drop by to discuss weapons upgrades?" Despite his confidence that he'd followed the right path to get to where he should be, he was beginning to doubt he was actually in the right place.

Cammie's hands slow in their movements to watch through the projected screen at Leon, as he seems to be taking a moment to try and best figure out how to answer. Honestly, that's sign enough that he's not going to give her an actual answer, not a real one. 

Sure enough, he gives her the good soldier response, and she can't quite help the roll of her eyes.

"Ain't really much've an answer, y'ken." A loose gesture of her hands closes the screens, now watching Leon a bit more closely than she maybe had been before. The serious expression on her face only lasts a moment longer, before awkwardness seeps back in and she turns her gaze away with a bit of a huff. "I dinnae ask if ye could do anythin' 'bout it. Just asked if ye thought 'bout it."

She'd trade their places, if she could. There isn't a doubt in her mind that if Leon was operating her Holon, then things would have been moving way faster: he had better balance, already had experience in operating massive pieces of war tech, and could actually aim without auto-assist. The team would've been better off with someone like him.

( the team would've been better off with anyone but her )

Again, she opens the screen, swiping through her designs before pulling up the one she'd been playing around with for Valentina, beginning to tweak some things. She always thought better when she could multitask. "Jus' can't believe that of all the minds in th' Polity, you guys were unlucky enuff t'get stuck with someone who can't even fire straight."

Leon isn't nearly as tech savvy as Cammie, but even he can recognize just how impressive what she's working on is. She had some good ideas for personalizing each holon, and he knows just how important being comfortable in your skin can be, even if that skin happens to be a four-story tall machine that you were piloting with your mind. If he needed to go to bat for the team with Colonel Marin, he would…, but he'd wait until Migas and Cammie were ready with their designs.

The three of them (Chase, Migas, and Leon) had always been pretty close friends, even Jodie, when he wasn't being a prick, so it didn't surprise him to hear that Garza was the one who had had the idea to cook something special up for Chase. They'd all been …. shocked doesn't feel like a strong enough word, but they hadn't been able to believe it when they'd discovered that Chase was alive…, and it made sense that Migas wanted to make him feel more at home again.

He shifts his attention back to Cammie herself when she speaks, watching as she focuses on her designs rather than looking at him. Her question doesn't exactly surprise him, and it's something he's been thinking about ever since Dr. Weller had mentioned in front of the others, and it had been the first time he'd heard about it too.

"I….," he started, then stopped, letting out a little sigh. Truth be told…., he thought a lot of things about the fact that he was gen:LOCK compatible but too old to actually be useful.

Leon crosses his arms over his chest, doing his best to appear more nonchalant than he actually is. "Not much I can do about it now," is what he says. Did part of him wish he could be out there in one of the holons instead of his Strider? He'd be lying if he said no…, but it wouldn't change anything. He just had to make sure that the team was ready for anything that came after them…, and that was what he was gonna do.

"What, weapons upgrades? Psh, I wish. Don't get me wrong, 's part'a my job, fer sure, but I don't usually get t' work on anythin' as cool as yer guys's weapons. Most've the time it's... maintenance on the Ace-Ops, tryin' t'make boring guns shoot boring ammo slightly better."

Cammie loved her job, but the routine of it all could get boring. That was part of why she preferred working with Huntsmen -- real Huntsmen, not just soldiers.

"My official title is R&D and DigiSec, mostly workin' on tryin' t'make the AK's less hackable after... everythin' that went down in Beacon." Her pleasant expression drops briefly, hands fidgeting before moving to push her hair back behind her ear. "...You guys were there. Y'know how bad it was, havin' all those stupid robots turn against us. The AK team, we did everythin' we could remotely, but... seemed like nothin' we did was workin'. Whoever hacked up knew the programs better than we did."

"Oh, well, nice to meet you, Cammie." She was certainly something. He guessed it made sense that Atlas had had people watching the fights to see how Penny was doing, even if one of the team had gotten a little distracted.

"Oh, you helped out Pietro?" Jaune asked, perking up. "Thanks, yeah, those upgrades were just what we needed! Do you do a lot of that sort of thing here?"

She's staring. No, she's looking respectfully... more or less.

She has work to be doing, sure, but this was a hundred times more interesting than staring at walls of code for six hours or trying to figure out how to make guns shootier or swords stabbier. No, these kids had way more interesting weapons, and it seemed their chaperone was no different. Waiting for Clover to let up on the old man and their training session, she made sure that large pointy scythes were tucked away before popping out from where she'd been watching.

"I finally figured it out! Where I saw you from -- yer the jackass that made the fuckin'--" there's a pause at the curse, glancing in Clover's direction before rolling her eyes. "--the effin' 200's look like a joke at Beacon. Tore their head clean off!"

Should she thank him? She should thank him. Schnee be damned, she can kick her ass later.

"Yer the one who finally got them t'listen t'me 'bout their shitty neck joints."

@unlockthestars: Send 😙 for my muse’s reaction to yours being super affectionate [Yaz, Val, or Kazu]

"Woah-- uh... ye feelin' okay, Yaz?" She couldn't feel the hug, not really: VR had come a long way in the past hundred-or-so years, but her avatar still couldn't feel Yaz's arms wrapped around her. Leave it to Madrani to only be affectionate like this in a place where she couldn't even feel it, and where no one else was gonna witness it to believe it.

After a moment of continuing the awkward embrace, Cammie disconnected from the Ether, hopping down off of her bunk to head to where Yasamin was sitting, carefully wrapping her arms around her from behind. "Dinnae feel like ye need t' hide behind yer avatar for affection."

@unlockthestars: Send ⭐️ (or multiple) for a headcanon about our muses. [One for each GL character]

CAMMIE & KAZU : Cammie is an absolute disaster in the kitchen, Kazu quickly learns. Girl can cook to survive, but she's surviving on the typical gamer girl diet when not eating in the mess -- that being cup noodles and energy drinks. Kazu takes it upon himself to try and teach her a few basics because he cannot handle how inept she is ( and the time spent together is legitimately enjoyable. ) Once she gets more confident in the kitchen, she actually cooks a big meal for the team on his birthday, both as a gift and a thank you.

CAMMIE & YASAMIN : After she and Yaz Mindshared, Cammie went through a period where she would replay the memories she had been granted access to -- seeing the Union through the eyes of someone who had actually been there, had been on their side. It changed how she viewed Yaz, and made her feel more comfortable approaching her. She's still the first person Cammie will talk to about her gen:LOCK related nightmares, when they happen.

CAMMIE & VAL : Val was the person Cammie grew the closest to the quickest. Even though they aren't as into Siege and online gaming as Cammie, the two frequently meet up in the Ether without the rest of the squad. Val introduces Cammie to more of the nightlife side, and while that ordinarily wouldn't really be her scene, they make it far more comfortable. It's also Val who Cammie first opens up to about her asexuality, in the same way that Val opened up about their gender identity.

CAMMIE & WELLER : When Cammie was restless upon first coming to base, she would frequently go and hang out with Weller in the lab on the nights where she wouldn't need to wake up early the next morning for training. They would watch old episodes of Doctor Who and Star Trek, but can never agree on which Doctor is the best. Cammie is partial to Ten.

CAMMIE & LEON : Being that she was the only member of the gen:LOCK team with zero military experience, Leon took it upon himself to try and give Cammie some extra training outside of her Holon. The two spent a few days at the shooting range, trying to get her more comfortable with firing a gun herself, with the idea that it would help it be easier in her Holon. It wasn't particularly successful, but Cammie appreciated that Leon took the time out of his schedule to try and help her -- especially when she learned he did it on his free time, and not under any orders.
