Tyr shook his head as the two bantered on about their kills and experience, knowing fighting the Gols was nothing like fighting the canners. He almost died himself on his first combat sortie, if not for a timely intervention from an ally. Now it was up to Tyr to keep these men and women alive til they came back down. He looked up as the girl addressed him, seeing the flash of eagerness in her eyes for revenge. [color=a187be]"We should head over as well Hesse. Finish up your meal, proper manners and all."[/color] he said with a chuckle as he took up his and the girl's tray, walking them the short distance over to the recycling stand as the overhead speakers roared to life. [b]"All troops prepare for operation, report to briefing rooms in ten. Flight crews report to launch pads for final inspections. "[/b] The message repeated four more times as Tyr looked to Lion. [color=a187be]"That's our cue. Grab what you want and let's move."[/color] He turned and followed the rest of the flow out of the mess hall as everyone moved to their positions.

Tyr approached the briefing building, attached to the main headquarters by a hallway, with Hesse catching up. The few people trickling through the doors into the auditorium setting found their seats where they could. Towards the front Tyr witnessed General Eltz discussing with an aide on the stage with his table, most likely confirming on the slides to present. The General didn't even look into the crowd to see the Centurion when a few friendly faces approached Tyr. [b]"Hey Fish, figured you were getting ratted out by the eagle til we launched. Glad to see you could finally join us."[/b] Code named Troll, and just like the name his face was more brutish than one would expect from the capital, and next to him was a shorter woman who was holding a big grin on her face, Teras. [b]"Of course you'd make it to the briefing, troglodyte over here owes me some tickets. Come on, we saved the usual seats at the front with Deryk, oh?"[/b] Teras noticed the man next to Tyr and her eyes shot up, [b]"Oh my god, is that the Lion? Are you launching too? I didn't think you would be a choice to leave the planet."[/b]
