As soon as they arrived at the airship, they would be welcomed by a blast of cold air, as the very own white-haired Linker cranked the cooling systems to as close to the maximum as she could while they were out. Once everyone that left for the mission was accounted for, and some basic post-mission procedures have been completed, the pilot announced that they would be taking flight right away, while Lieutenant Isoshima stepped out of the console bay of the command center with the arms crossed under her chest. [color=007236]“I suppose you are all expecting me to ‘discipline’ you after this mission, right? If that’s the case, you don’t need to hold your breath. The collateral damage was within allowed margins and most of you didn’t display any kind of especially reckless behavior on the field. Instead of that, I’m actually going to commend you for your capacity for threat assessment. That Artillery Type would have prevented us from taking off and potentially destroyed the transport if you didn’t take it down. I’ll be sure to add this to the report. Talking about this, once we are back to the Academy, the first thing you all have to do is go to Lieutenant Colonel Limit’s office for a post-mission check-up. Once you are done with that, I want every team leader to turn in a mission report. And, after that... you’ll have the rest of the weekend for yourselves. This mission was harsher than expected, so I’ve talked with the Operations Command and arranged a brief leave as a reward for your efforts. Are there any questions? Otherwise, you are dismissed,”[/color] she said just as the transport landed at one of the Academy’s helipads and opened the cargo bay ramp, filling the compartment with the blood-red light of late afternoon.
