Josie: Thanks, but I’ll eat first. No offense, uncle, but I can’t take your stuff on an empty stomach. I may be breaking all your records out of the red zones, but I’ll never learn to drink like you. Thank the gods. rummaging through pack Would you like to join me for mess?

@Mobster Octavia  
Azimuth: Heading to my room. Not a Cadet, a captain. I didn’t ask…

@LadyChristaBug  
Vainor: Ah. I’ll show you to the mess then.

@SemPBron3  
Where is the captain?

@LunarGhostRedMoon  
Josie: sighs with relief Thanks, I was terrified that you would offer to cook. smiles sweetly I grew up on this base, remember? So if nobody’s moved it, I’ll find the club or mess. expression turns serious What do you think about tomorrow’s weapons test? Have you warned them, or told them anything at all? Like, why I’m here?

@LadyChristaBug  
Vainor: Not a thing. I want to see their faces when we unveil your Double Trouble.

Josie@LunarGhostRedMoon  
Josie: laughs, nickers and shakes head all at once. Then half-mocks pity You’re cruel. What am I cleared to tell them?

@LadyChristaBug  
Vainor: Chuckles. The name.

@LunarGhostRedMoon  
Josie: blinks But it’s a…and the weapons…nothing?

@LadyChristaBug  
Vainor: Nothing. They’re not supposed to know. That way they don’t prepare for it.

@LadyChristaBug  
rummages in bag some more, emerges with notebook and pen. Grins, jumps and gives Vainor a kiss on the cheek before he can do anything about it I’m off to find decent company, then. leaves and heads toward club.

@LadyChristaBug  
Freezes Huh… She doesn’t look familiar…

@LadyChristaBug  
Vainor: And you left. I pour myself a drink.

@LadyChristaBug  
Josie: smacks hoof against head, laughing, mutters to self Club is closed. Need the mess.

@LadyChristaBug  
Trots up to her Hey. What’s up, newbie? New here to the school?

@Mobster Octavia  
Josie: huge smile Oh, no. I graduated from this place at 15. extends hoof to shake I’m Captain Vainor, but please call me Josie. At least, when Uncle Iron-Ass isn’t around to yell about chain of command.

@LadyChristaBug  
Wait, you mean Admiral Vainor? Laughs Oh man, that is great! Hahahaha!

@Mobster Octavia  
Josie: Yeah, I’ve called him that pretty much since I could talk. Are you part of my Weapons Test tomorrow?

@LadyChristaBug  
I… I guess so. So, why’re you here if you graduated?

@Mobster Octavia  
Josie: Two reasons, really. First, I want to watch my weapons perform in SIM, since they may need refinement. smiles Ok, I’m always fiddling with them, which is why your weapons are constantly upgraded. Two, I’m hoping to see him fail tomorrow. I’ve never actually seen it, and it is four to one tomorrow, but…shrugs either way will be a win for me.

@LadyChristaBug  
I uh… I guess? How long you staying?

@Mobster Octavia  
Well, I set this up to be as difficult as I could, but it’s all about performance. So we do this, play around with the new stuff, I’ll be asking you for input. Then I’m back to my lab. So, I’ll be here maybe two or three weeks. However long I want, really. I’m lucky…command can’t order me around, because you never know where or when inspiration will strike. But I’m in no hurry to leave my new baby behind.

@LadyChristaBug  
You have a baby?

@Mobster Octavia  
Josie: All my weapons are my babies. laughing, obviously at self Do you think anypony ever asked me out? I started college here at 11, and Vainor’s my uncle.
