[h2][b][color=92278f][u]Madison Cole[/u][/color][/b][/h2] [b][color=92278f]"It's god damn cold!!!"[/color][/b] The young girl spouted out in annoyance as she sat in the back of the truck breathing warm air onto her cupped fingers before reinserting them into her gloves. [b][color=92278f]"You want to hear my story? Well here I was asleep in my beautifully warm bed when one of you guys decided that it would be a '[i]great idea[/i]' to come in and tell me that I was running late! That's also right before they ripped off my blanket and flipping me onto the cold floor! And to top that off someone used up all the hot water!!!"[/color][/b] At this point in time Madi's hands were up in the air, narrowly missing her two neighbouring passengers with an accidental uppercut as she aimed her attention to the skies with an expression that announced "Why me?". It had clearly not been her morning and in any case she wanted everyone to know about it. This was Madi, a young girl who's guardian was one of the engineers who worked at the facility where the NCs were being stored and maintained. Being old enough Madi could have moved out and found a place of her own, but she enjoyed his company way too much and felt that it wouldn't be right to leave him alone after everything he had done for her over the past 17 years. A few days earlier, however, he had left to go help make the final preparations for both her NC and some of the other's, leaving Madi at the barracks so that she wouldn't miss her departure time for the long trip. A plan of action that clearly failed on multiple levels, except for the possibility of missing the transport truck as well. At this point in time she had slowly bought her hands down and placed them between her lap before looking down to her knees. [b][color=92278f]"I'm Madison Cole..."[/color][/b] she spoke in a dreary voice, realising that opening up the conversation with an expression of frustration might not have been the best course of action. She cleared her throat and began her proper introduction this time round [b][color=92278f]"I've grown up around mechanics and machinery for as long as I lived in Smith's Rest, but I've seen NC componentry before and when I heard that there was an opportunity to pilot one, I just thought 'Hell yes!' and placed my name down on the list."[/color][/b]
