Right stuff, coming in!

[Backdated to only a few days or so before the Unity Group opening, a trio of blue mobile suits arrive at Alhambra Base. And their squad leader is the first to introduce himself.]

Greetings. You might be wondering what the three new arrivals in the hangars are - they're Virgola mobile suits, test units for a future mass-produced series. And we're here to be their test pilots, Glory Stars at your service!

My name's Denzel Hammer, and these two are my subordinates. Lt 1st class Toby Watson.


Hey, nice to meet y'all!

And 2nd Lt Setsuko Ohara, a new member of the team.


It is... a pleasure to meet you.

We're here to do tests, gather combat data and such, but don't worry, we'll fight too! If there's a combat, Glory Stars got your back.

[After the opening announcement.]



What was that supposed to be?

[Denzel and Toby are sharing drinks in the mess hall and laughing good naturedly about the broadcast's awkwardness. Setsuko is nowhere to be seen.]

Handling? Don't worry about it ol' boy, Virgola are made to be easy to control by everyone, from most battle-hardened veterans to a total newbie. Chief can give you the whole spiel if you want it!

Just get a seat ready because it'll take a while.

[3xmadder]

That would explain the obvious newbie from your formal introduction. I was going to respond to that, but I prefer to meet rookies in person.

[glorystargo]

Speaking of Setsuko, I wonder where she's hiding now...


Don't be too hard on her. Newbie or not, she wouldn't join Glory Stars if she didn't have what it takes.

"Ah so good she earned her spot then there's little to worry about if your vouching for her."

Russel looks to Katina.

"Just don't put her on the obstacle course so soon."

[3xmadder]

I wouldn't dream of doing that to someone with such a dedicated CO ready to tell her she doesn't have to.

[glorystargo]

That's Chief for you. Way too laid back and not taking training seriously!


What's that, Toby? Volunteering to run 50 laps around the base?

[3xmadder]

Healthy guy like the lieutenant here can easily make a hundred, I'm sure!

[glorystargo]

What's this? Look at the time, I must be going!

[Toby tries to run away as Denzel chuckles and grabs for his beer.]

[srwjunker]

Russel watches this go down, he knows Katina isn't joking. However Toby is not under Katina's direct command. He does wonder what might happen with Hammer and Katina conspiring about training however. It could be rough times in everyone's futures. Still Katina is at least not feeding Toby to the sharks, well just yet.

"You should be careful about such things, Toby. Just a bit of advice."
