[Another ugly skirmish with the BETA... plus kijin stuff piled on just for good measure afterwards. And the people weighing on Selena's mind the most? Well, the Zhar Battalion of course.]
Lt. Colonel Latrova... fighting the BETA on a constant basis is dangerous enough. I just hope that the enemies you face within the Russian bureaucracy don't decide to further retaliate against you. Whoever planned that operation the way they did might not be happy with how things played out, and considering what the Zhars have to deal with already...
For you and your men, I hope they don't decide to take out their frustration on the battalion. It was bad enough seeing the Glory Stars go through... what they did. And the size of the battalion doesn't mean any one life in it's less valuable.
[She looks over at a tupperware box she recently got in the mail. It's from Captain Symphonia... with 'Feliz Cumpleaños' written on the top, with a large amount of seemingly basic looking cookies inside. It's a few weeks past her birthday, but considering the circumstances of the rest of Team Jelba's current mission she doesn't hold it against the Captain. Thus she still opens the box and helps herself to one, immediately humming softly as she closes her eyes, leans back against the wall, and savors the taste. Well, not before...]
Elma?
Yes Selena?
Take some of the Captain's handiwork and see if anyone would like to try it. In spite of what happened out there, it was still an improvement over everything last month so... not to sound like a certain insensitive someone but maybe a small celebration's in order.
Are you sure you're not just saying that to try to wean yourself off of these? Their nutritional value isn't all that great and since you've been transferred to the Unity Group you've gained 2.3- ohnono aaaahahhhh S-Selena-
[Oh dear. Poor Elma's comment got derailed as Selena picks him up by his head.]
Of all the things I'm grateful you can do for me, being a weight scale ISN'T ONE OF THEM!
[And with that poor Elma's going to be punted down a hall. Not that it's going to get in the way of him delivering those cookies to anyone interested later on though... just he's also going to have a big dent in his head once more.]

Who programmed it?
From:
Time for an IC explanation because I have no OOC knowledge regarding this!
[Selena and Elma actually exchange glances before Selena continues on.]
... Is actually classified information. If knowledge of how Elma was constructed somehow leaked out, it could be problematic considering everything he's capable of.
Sorry... being a member of the ESUN intelligence division comes with perks, but also costs.

He's correct. He's more a partner than a sentient tool I own.
And I'm also a lot more useful and capable than that dumb bird who called me a scarecrow!
[Even if they're in separate worlds, Elma's rivalry with Chika is still as strong as ever.]

You are right though about not bringing certain things up... though I'd add they have no place even in a private conversation between a man and a woman.

And I'm sorry, Elma. I didn't realize what your relationship was like. [Or even that that good robots were a common thing.]
