Zay spun around and waved the newcomer over. Lyullia chimed in impatiently, which only served to frustrate her new captain. As Flin added on to that with a hint of doubt in his voice, Zay sneezed and slowly turned back towards them. "Hey hey, patience and a positive attitude go a long way, friends. I had a hand in picking you six for Centaurus, so you can rest assured that we're well prepared for just about anything. What [i]won't[/i] assure that though, is impatience-" Zay pointed at Lyullia, "-And negativity!" He swayed his finger towards Flin and pulled the corner of his lip backwards. He looked back down at the paper still in his hand and nodded. "Right, it's a little early, but we need some time to get acquainted with one another. [i]I've[/i] gone through your files already, but that isn't going to mean a thing if we get ambushed by something in the [i]wilds.[/i] I'm going to do Role-Call now. When you hear your name, I want you to tell everyone around you something... Interesting about yourself." 

	Noru nearly broke his nose against the palm of his armored hand. Marilyn was already trying to think of something interesting to say. Zay smiled and scanned his sheet one more time. "Then we can get going..." Zay eyes Lyullia once again with an uneven smile. His eyes returned to the paper, and he started...

	"Second Lieutenant Marilyn!" His voice suddenly boomed across the inside of the barracks, bouncing off the ceiling and back walls into a powerful echo. Marilyn froze for a moment, but caught herself before the silence became [i]uncomfortable.[/i]

	"Present and accounted for, sir! I'm proficient in psychic magic, and can communicate with passive animals in the wild! I love animals too!.. I can also put people to sleep, calm my own nerves, help people rem-"

	"One thing is fine, Mary- Can I call you Mary?" Zay cut in abruptly.

	"I uh... Yes! Of course!"

	"Wonderful! [b]First Lieutenant Daelin![/b]" Zay carried through the list without delay, suddenly increasing the pace of his little activity without warning. He eyed his watch briefly between calling out names.
