[b]“Well I suppose it’s to be expected. Nearly military operation does it, well not this far, but the thought is still there”[/b] He said taking a sip of the whiskey. Alaska got up and yawned leaning on wash as she did so, [b]“Listen I hope you get Cal, the quicker you’re back on our team the better we’ll be and I think everyone here will agree.”[/b] She grabbed her helmet as she got up, she got to the double doors and stopped and turned to Cal, [b]“Oh and by the way, I’m still up for seeing some races when you’re fit,”[/b] She turned on her heel and left. 

[b]“Well, I suppose that’s girls always wanting an early-” [/b] his data pad interrupted him, he groaned. [b]“Well I suppose there is really no rest for wicked, I’ve got and Early morning it seems. F.I.L.S.S just reminded me in in for some sparing tomorrow, you’ve got to feel sorry for the marines sometimes.”[/b] He got up grabbed his helmet and walked out the door [b]“G’night lads, doc I’ll want to see you there tomorrow as well you know. I don’t want to be on my own, and there isn’t any chance of seeing Alaska there”[/b] He stepped out the room and put on the helmet and turned the corner to be greeted by his sister. She had her helmet on but her body position indicated she was deadly serious. She looked around and said “[b]we need to talk, like now.”[/b] Wash had no idea what was going on and just nodded along. They walked to the door of their dorm and entered. They were silent in the room and just stripped the room of bugs.

[b]“Listen you said this is a standard military procedure I mean is it?”[/b] She paused took of her helmet [b]“I mean what the hell is going on here? Who has a selection program for missions?”[/b] She was getting angrier by each word she said, Wash sat down next to her. [b]“Listen sis, like most things it seems, I have no clue what is going on here. I mean neither of us do. We didn’t know each other still existed until this program, so until we find some answers I think we should just stick to thanking them.”[/b] He nodded as he put his arm around her. [b]“I’ve never really been there for you sis, and you’re so independent now and--”[/b] he stopped he wasn’t going to get into it not there, there was going to be a better opportunity.  [b]“All you need to know is that you just need to ask me and I’ll be there for you.”[/b] He took off his armour and hopped into bed, as did Alaska. They wished each other good night and they drifted off. Well Alaska did. Wash couldn’t stop thinking if his sister was right, He tell as sleep to one thought, [i]'If they were testing for something, what was it?'[/i]
