"Yes, ma'm," Krista answered. "Unit A under my command is going to include Cadets Camden, Koehler and Paris, while Junior Officer Shinkai will lead Cadets Horowitz, Liu'un, Twilight and Ramirez in unit B."

"Both of these units include the skills required for the operation?" Ritsu asked. You could tell she testing to see if the decision was carefully thought out.

"Affirmative ma'm," Lora now answered. "Both units are fully capable of securing the colonies and repelling the Cruxi."

"Very well then. Looks like I don't need to make adjustments, so we will go with these. Attention, Squad Sigma! Deployment begins in T-minus 42 hours, so prepare for that. I suggest using the time to brush up on your piloting skills and adjust your machines. Dismissed."

As the pilots spread out, Elora took a look at Yeshua, and shivered. Koehler assured her that whatever happened between the two of them wasn't her fault, but she still couldn't help but feel responsible for what kind of person he became. As cruel and self-absorbed as he was when they first met, he didn't deserve what happened to him. Nobody would deserve that. And now they were going to be thrust into a war.

Elora's hands started shaking; she was scared of going into battle. She turned around and saw Mai leaving the hall, and at first wanted to ask her about how she felt about fighting, but she remembered how she responded the last time she asked for advice on suppressing her fears like she seemed to do:

"That life style would mentally drive you to death. Stop crying. At least you're still human. I'm not."
Mai

Elora, with her head hanging low, decided to do as the Lieutenant suggested and practice the landing simulation she still had trouble with; she had a bad habit of freezing up when she looked down and saw the immeasurable distance they had to drop down. It was another phobia in the meek girl's long list that she wanted to overcome.

I sure hope not. If it takes a week longer we'll assume Krista gave the announcement based on the OOC suggestion, so you guys can react to that.
@Cassowarysaur
The officers have yet to announce the composition of the units to Ritsu, and I guess others are holding off on their posts so they can get their reactions to the announcement included.
@DarkRecon
Ritsu was slightly surprised, but there was no visible reaction from Lorenzo. After asking for a couple of technical details he dismissed Mai.
No worries about that. You guys can take your time in posting, since I'll also have work. I will be checking the site once a day though, so I'll still be here.
That, and I want to see how Orion acts while in the same unit as Alyssa.
I thought of one instance that perhaps Elora, upset with the situations she thinks she caused, approaches Mai at one point and asks her to train her on how to be like her. Mai, of all things, would refuse, stating "that life style would mentally drive you to death" and "stop crying. At least your still human. I'm not." I don't know about these exact lines but I thought this moment could have happened.

Definitely. Elora thinks of Mai as a very professional if distant pilot, and would have asked for her advice at some point, thinking that she knows how to suppress emotions like fear and sadness.

I agree with redbaron, both units require an officer. But instead of Mai I prefer switching Lora with Orion.
How about skeletons? They ain't got rot or need to suntan. I was thinking of a spoopy lich lord from medieval times who accidentally travelled in time to the future.
