Hayca had been standing behind most of the veterans. She had been observing and assessing the greenhorns according to her own weird measurements. The moment the captain was outside of earshot Hayca walked up to Keller. "So, who are you placing your bets on this time Bits?" She looked over at the group and started pointing at two men. "One, two aaanndd..." A grin formed on her face as she pointed at Toland. "Three." She looked back at Keller and gave him a shove with her elbow. "Those are my picks, gonna bet ten credits on each of em. Speaking about credits, who won last time?" She said, still with that same grin on her face.

She actually wanted to bet on the new lieutenant but saying that directly to a superiour officer's face might get you into trouble. Speaking about the new guy, it looked like the sarge would be the one who was going to have to keep the platoon together, cause this guy looked like a whimp. Besk saluted to the guy. Well, he shouldnt really expect any salute from her untill he had proven himself as a capable member of the unit. 

Besides that, she was rather happy with her picks and was almost sure that she'd win this bet.

Right at that moment the droid which had been collecting dust all this time reactivated and started calling Tadia a meatbag. Well, it certainly seemed like things were gonna liven up in a few minutes.
