Sigma blinked twice, trying to regist each of Lorenzo's words. [i]Wha? I'm squad leader? But I got kicked all over the place. Geez, thanks, Lorenzo. Now I'll have to deal with people with egos the size of icebergs. Still... maybe there wasn't much else to pick from.[/i] She bit her lip slightly, but graciously nodded in acceptance and did a salute to Lorenzo.

Then, Serah, who was puffed up like a mad hummingbird had left out in a huff. Well, that was understandeable, but Sigma was confident no harm had been done. The girl also didn't say anything, which was good. And then Zan left, without a word either, apparently. Takeo was much more forthcoming in his reaction, even with strange bow and that. Somewhat...cute? Sigma dedicated a nod of acknowledgement to him. "Alright." 

And then... [i]Ian happened[/i] Sigma bit her lip so hard she drew blood. [i]Foolish Ian, you're going to ruin everything! Don't rouse a veteran like [b]THAT[/b][/i]. The squad leader could only watch and flinch a little the development, wincing in empathic pain as she saw Ian's knees explode. Antwon's greeting came not long after. Dry, awkward, but it was surprising in a way. Endearing in another, and very [i]off[/i]. She had expected Ant to start bickering like Ian did, but the way he was taking it... was there something more than him being an arrogant teenager with bad music taste?

The situation quickly devolved. Utano, the quiet girl, turned out she wasn't as stoic as she initially implied. She had probably never seen more blood than a papercut in her entire life. Rolling her eyes, she watched how she ran to the bathroom. Pinching her nosebridge, she breathed deep.

[b]"Everyone, try to get some refreshments, and rest."[/b] Sigma said in a serious tone, looking at each one and the other who could still be susceptible to orders. [b]"Elora, see if you can talk some sense in Utano."[/b] She quickly eyed the mousy pilot, which she had expected half to break down, but she didn't yet.[i]Bless you, Elora, you're one of the few people I can still count with in this disaster.[/i]

She then walked towards Iskander, who had taken the initiative to drag Ian to the medbay. But Sigma didn't want anyone else near Ian in his current condition. Some of them had already the morale affected. More... brutality, even as if it was half expected from a veteran like Lorenzo could seriously and irreversibly harm the team's morale.

[b]"I'll take over medbay duties, Iskander. Thanks. Now go to rest with the rest of the team and don't dwell on this event much further. There will be a brief report afterwards."[/b] She added as she attempted to grab Ian's body in her own shoulders, gritting her teeth by doing so, but showing that underneath the lithe body that clothes betrayed, she was stronger than she looked at first glance. [b]"Do not follow us. Do not cause more trouble to me or our XO. THAT IS AN ORDER."[/b] Sigma glared with a piercing stare to Iskander, and anyone who might feel they still had to say anything.

She then nodded in acknowledgement to Lorenzo, intent on starting her one trip to the medbay.

[i]Great for a first day.[/i] Sigma bitterly thought.
