Operation Shadow Sabre

Realising that she'd been dismissed, or as close to being dismissed as she was likely to get in this loose-knit outfit, Saffron dropped back down into her seat. She was glad to get off her feet, the pain in her back from the surgery she'd undergone less than a week before was still causing her some difficulties, despite her excellent physical health otherwise.

Taking a moment to stretch her knees and arch her spine, Saffron quickly dropped back into her seated attention, enduring the discomfort she was feeling as she look up at the CO. It was quite an inspiring little speech, and she recognised it from one of the many she'd been taught back at the Academy.

Hopefully this would all be over soon and they could get on with whatever it was the lucky eight had been selected for.

A grinding howl echoed through the shuttle and the status board lit up with warnings as Felix swore loudly into his mike. "Oh shit! Whatever you guys are doing you'd better hurry up. One of the big rocks just grazed my starboard engine pod and almost killed us all!"

He could just glare at the woman on the team, that or oogle her tight uniform depending on his preferences.

We might need to bring an NPC in just for the fun of watching him die in a duel against Adamar.

'Well, he's a cheery one,' Kis thought to herself, eyeing the magic-user cautiously while keeping up her own cherry act with her band of admirers. 'Hopefully we won't need to find out if his skills rival his ego.'

I promise it doesn't control the hostile organism elimination system, honest. :D

Operation Shadow Sabre

Hope the others jump in soon, this friendly little chat is really making Saf uncomfortable. XD

The Fog

And wouldn't that be fun for the rest of us to watch? >D

Operation Shadow Sabre

This man was really beginning to confuse Saffron, he wasn't anything like the commanding officers she'd dealt with in the past, and she wasn't sure exactly what she should do about that.

His comment about just being a Sabre now helped clarify things, in a way they were all just Privates now, equal and expendable. Only now Saffron began to wonder how they fitted into the wider military command structure. Were they a special division, like the Airbourne Cavalry, or simply support reserves?

Once again she tabled her questions for later and instead concentrated on the matter at hand. "To be frank Sir, I'm not a 'real person', I'm a soldier." She replied, her voice clipped and precise, "but if you really need to know more than I suppose I could just say that I'm quite a good cook."

You could just try pressing the big red button Simon found, not that he's told any of the others about it yet.
