"Oh! Sorry...I was little hungry after I woke up. I couldn't help myself" Rose say to the big lady with a nervous chuckle. Great job looking like a greedy person, Rose, great job. But whatever [i]Voilà[/i] is, it does at least sounds delicious, better then what she got while being homeless for a few years, she used eat noodles, all the way to eating a very small bread, that was a size for a pair of glasses. With all that excitement for breakfast turn to disappointment when cook give Rose pile of slop...Huh...Rose guess there is some sarcasm in space after all. Rose sit down with her crew, while looking at the been pass off as food. as she took one bite of it, she almost spit it out but with pure will, she swallow it down with one gulp. There was no way she can spit out the food in front of everyone, including the chef that work on it, they would probably heartbroken if they saw that, so all she can do is to be grateful and eat the food....For the rest of her life....Now she wish that she has pockets. As she and her crew, Rose noticed that everyone is looking at the window bay, where she spot Neptune in it blue glory. Rose read about Neptune in her studies and only see pictures of it, but she looking at the real thing, it kinda overwhelming for the small Rose as she looks at the big planet. Pretty soon, she is going to go on her mission with crew for the first time, Rose wonders how well she will do. Will her time do well and get those credits?...Or will she failing and be a failure? Maybe if she can some jokes like everyone here, maybe she can fit in. "Hey, I got a joke for you guys. What kind of music do planets enjoy singing along to?....Neptunes!" Rose laugh at the joke, hoping that everyone laughs too.....But she was the only one laughing. She then bury herself under the table to hide her embarrassment. [hr][indent][indent][indent][indent][i]Two and a half hours later, at approx. 0430 ...[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][hr] Rosie is feeling once again, overwhelmed as she sit on her cockpit in her talarius RSS9 aka her "Fire Ant". She really don't want any scratches on it, but then again she is going to battle, she is going to end up with a bunch scratches. Rose then jump when she hear something in her cockpit. Oh shit, did she broken it? She then sigh in relief when it was only the radio. [hider=][table][row][/row][row][cell][/cell][cell][right][code]"You're listening to Mowgli Radio.
