Rocco had just finished shopping for some civilian clothes. He didn't really care for civilian clothes, but the mission must come first. And a soldier walking around the average commoner drew attention. And he also bought something he despised, shoes. He didn't know what it was, but he just hated shoes and loved his combat boots. But, the mission must come first. And, of course, he was not in a good mood, but that was pretty normal for him anyway. As he was walking back to base, he saw the tigress and officer from earlier. "Oh shoot", he muttered under his breath. He wanted to do this without being noticed, pretty hard to do that now. The tigress seemed more... aggressive. A good trait, as long as she didn't do anything stupid like attack a place or go recruiting.
When he saw what was obviously a VIP motorcade, he dropped his bags, snapped to attention, and saluted as it went past.
