Elise had eaten too slowly and been left with the darcsen of the group, only to have a superior officer recruit both herself and the darcsen to the same squad. Oh that was just great. She should have left instead of answering him. She’d been about to get up and leave, but now that would be complicated. If she disobeyed a direct order from a superior she’d get in more trouble than any darcsen was worth, not that they were worth much to begin with.

“Yes, sir.” Elise said with a cold tone, as she stared in front of herself and gripped the tray hard. She got up from the table after he’d finished speaking, placed her dishes with the others and left the mess hall. Hopefully the enemy would be aiming for the darcsens so she wouldn’t have to deal with any for long. She didn’t want to think about how that might end. 

She quickly retrieved her few belongings from the barracks, then got her sniper rifle and headed towards the garage where she had been told an APC would be waiting. Elise climbed into the APC and waited for the others to arrive, but didn’t say much once they had or when the APC begun to move away from the base. There’d be time to get to know some of them later. At the moment she was in a bad mood due to the sudden, random deployment with undesirables.
