Training Days

[MrRazot]

Warren realised that he may be a bit out of his depth here. He'd only ever spoken with other humans.
He resisted the urge to reach out and stroke Angder lovingly as he would his childhood pet dog. Simply instead withdrawing his hand from the shake after it was finished and he felt it had been a proper one.
Before he got caught away with thinking about how un-natural the hand/paw/whatever shake was to Warren, he spent a second to think about how to respond.
"Ahh!... yes... I'm not sure how well I'm going to hold up to you guys. I bet you guys would tear me to shreds have the natural advantage"

Warren didn't really know how to go about this, but he tried to maintain a degree of confidence. He'd never considered what it would mean or feel like to be enhanced like that. He could be insensitive all day with his human squadmates, but not sure what the limits were here. Meeting new people is hard!
"Heh!" he exclaimed to set himself back on track, "Sounds like a challenge. Going to see what we're really made of"
Warren casually fist bumped Angder's arm and allowed himself for his face to light up with a bit of playful joy as he did so.

"So which way are you going?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged and sighed quietly.
"Guess I'll take whatever's open."
He then turned, starting towards the mess hall as he hadn't eaten in a few hours. As he went, he had overheard the others talking.
'I hope we can all work together.'
Ray, as he approached the mess-hall, wondered if they would serve the weird food paste he grew up on. The raccoon closed his eyes as he recalled the center he was raised in with his eleven brothers and sisters. Ray remembered his mother had sung a quiet song, as her children were taken to the training center. He didn't get upset by this, though. Attachment was beaten out of him, as it was his siblings. Ray did wonder what happened to his siblings, but quickly found he wasn't too perturbed by the thought.

Pandadox thought about what the half-human vixen said and had a small chuckle. He immediately stopped when he noticed. It was unexpected to him he started to chuckle. He felt something was wrong, as he hadn't felt this happy ever since he was a child.
He quickly recovered and said: "I suppose that would make sense. They do change your DNA, afterall."
He still pondered about the vegetable soup. He nodded and took a glance at the raccoon who was also heading for the mess hall.
Once inside the mess, Pandadox decided to take the lead in getting food, as to encourage the new recruits to not feel out of place. Hoping they would follow his example, he sat by an empty table, enough to host all of the recruits of his and sergeant Cold's group.



While everyone was chatting, eating or both, Cold woke up from his nap after about an hour. It was enough to feel rested enough to finish the day off. Luckily he also didn't suffer from any nightmares or worries during his rest, so he felt pretty energetic.
A knock on his door... He shuffled over to open.
"Yes?" He said while he was rubbing his eyes open.
"Hello, sir." A young man who was usually put on duty to deliver personal messages between higher-ranking officers stood in front of Sergeant Cold.
"Ah, it's you again. At ease. What's up, boy?"
The young man produced a light cough after assuming a more rested-position. "Sir, we have a late-comer. Another new recruit. Take a look at their papers here."
Cold was handed a document.
He took a quick look through it and nodded at the messenger.
"I see. I'll go meet this young woman. Thank you for informing me."
"Goodday, sir." And he sped off after that, most likely to deliver more messages.

The sergeant took a quick look in the bathroom mirror of his confinement to make sure he still looked presentable and headed off.
After a brief walk he spotted a female human. For a human, Cold thought she looked rather attractive.
"Hello, Ash. I am sergeant Cold. Welcome to the Advanced Military, or AdMi. You missed the briefing, but do you need help settling in or have any questions?"

[Malina]

Ash stood to attention and gave a swift salute before saying, "Sorry for being late sir, was caught up in a previous mission. I was informed of the basics on the journey over, so I have no questions." As she spoke she had a dead stare at the wall opposite, seemingly unaware, or uncaring, of her superior's stare. She gave a quiet sigh, wishing they could get on with it.

Ruby went off in the direction of the carnivore-friendly meals, it being separated out from the herbivore-friendly meals to prevent any cross-contamination of foods. It didn't take her long to get some cubed beef and chicken before finding herself a seat in the section that Pandadox was sitting in. "Most of the others went to go crash." she mentions as she starts eating.

[Angder]

"Advantage?" Angder chuckles slightly. "I could be in power armor with... a huge plasma...Ion...Rail...~ With a really big Gun. Wouldn't mean a damn if my opponent has a pistol he knows how to use, and I am out of practice. Trust me. Learn to shoot well, and you will quickly find our advantages vanish over any decent range." Angder grins, looking straight at Warren. "Now at close range... Once we can start tearing at you. That's a different matter."

Angder was slightly suprised to feel the human nudge his arm, it actually catches him slightly off gaurd, and his hair stands up slightly. A moment later he has relaxed again. "...Well, I have got free time. May as well explore the base." Angder states. "I want to know where things are, and where to go. So there is no messing about in future, and also to keep the commanders happy." Angder pauses, and stops moving for a moment, looking ahead at the sleeping quarters. "That's AFTER I get some rest of course."

[MrRazot]

"Close range? I'm sure there's a gun for that" Warren said, breaking into a chuckle.
"I'm sure we'll have the chance to test our sharpshooting together".

He looked around realising he was still disorientated,if not more so, and decided that he still didn't really know where everything was.
"Talking about free time and exploring, I think I'm going to wander around a bit" Warren rolled a 1 on perception.
"If you hear any screaming, I've probably accidentally walked into Cold's quarters."
"See you around"

Warren put his hands in his pockets and walked in no particular direction. He at least found the showers before anyone else. It would just be a matter of remembering where they were. Not that he had a bad memory, just he thought everything around him looked the same.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray grabbed a piece of bread from the mess, along with a small bottle of water. He ate the bread quickly, and finished the water even before he passed the first trash can. The raccoon sighed, and headed towards the barracks.
I wonder if the others have found their bunks yet...
As he reached the barracks, Ray picked the bunk closest to the wall, undressed and folded his clothes neatly on what he assumed was his footlocker, and crawled into bed, facing the wall. He wasn't tired, but Ray figured he'd claim a bed and hope the others wouldn't mind.
Though, Ray thought to himself. If they want the bed, I don't mind sleeping on the floor...

[Shoon]

Shoon eventually climbed down from the roof and went to the mess hall.
After reaching the mess hall he made a b-line for the food grabbing some beaf and salad before going to a distant corner table and eating quickly and quietly.


After finishing the food he left for the barracks, but after a while of walking he relaised he doesnt know where the barracks are, so he turned to walk back and look for a sign.

[Ventus Fall]

"I understand and have been informed. No need to worry about it, Private." Cold produced a minor cough.
"Allright, well, the barracks are left of you. If you still need food you just need to walk a bit further. Others should be finishing up their meals now, maybe you can still catch them. As for your other commanding officer, his name is Corporal Pandadox. Oh right... if you go now, you might still catch him at the mess hall."
The sergeant saluted the new recruit. It wouldn't surprise him if she would speed off, considering how uninterested she seemed to be. That was allright, though. As long as she would fit well in the team and did a good job, Larry Cold would have no issues with this new recruit.
He himself decided it was best if he just took a short meal in his own room, read up again on the documentation he had received on each recruit, and then head to bed.


Pandadox looked up. "I figured as much."
He was nearly done with his meal. No vegetable soup, but still delicious.
It's been so long since they made vegetable soup...
While he was wondering about when he might be able to get vegetable soup, he finished his meal. The rice and salad did him good. Maybe this would be his new favourite meal.
He stood up. "I think it's a good idea I crash myself as well. Afterall, I'm most likely the one to wake you guys up. Not to be rude, I'll head off now."
He went off to his own sleeping quarters, which was right next to Cold's sleeping quarters.

[Malina]

Ash saluted her sergeant and headed off in the direction of the barracks. Seeing other members of the team leaving the mess hall, she decided it would be best to follow suit rather than get food. She didn't care much for eating, found the task repetitive and annoying and had trained herself to get by on very little.
As she walked towards the other members, she saw another human looking around, supposedly lost. Might as well go up and introduce myself, at least he appears to be another human here, she thought as she walked up to him.
"You alright there ? You seem a bit lost," she asked, looking around herself for the dorm building. "I'm Ash by the way, what be your name ?" she asked in a less than welcoming tone.

[Vosur Aekira]

Ruby gave a nod and finished off her own meal not long after Pandadox left, then she decides to head out to go back to the barracks. Along the way, she sees the normal human from the briefing (Warren) wandering about not far from the dining-facility and another human she didn't recognize with him. "Hey, if you're looking for something to eat, it's back there." she spoke as she did a thumb-point to the building behind herself. "That also means the barracks are just right-across from it." she adds as she points to an adjacent building. "The name's Habeas. We'll probably talk more when we get going with the rest of the team." the half-vixen Specialist added as she started walking towards the barracks to turn in for the night.

[Shoon]

"Yeah, just looking for the barracks, not very concentrated today" Shoon extended his right arm foward "Name's Shoon, nice to meet ya".

While looking around and waiting for Ash to shake his hand he saw more and more people coming out of the mess hall and walking in one direction 'The barracks may be in that direction..' Shoon noted.

[Angder]

Angder slumps down on his bed. New place, new people, and the promise of some kind of job to do. For now he may as well be in heaven, curling up on the bed, a short nap.

[MrRazot]

"AHH!"
Warren got a fright because he thought he was alone, lost, etc, and the sight of Ash with the lack of a welcoming tone.
He'd also seen so many enhanced over the past weeks, interaction with another human seemed more alien than he thought it would be. His neck was legitimately starting to hurt from looking up to make eye contact...

"Oh don't mind me, I'm just looking for the barracks..."
Who was this person who wasn't there at the original briefing. Someone important?
"That's not my name though... 'Looking for the barracks' is what I'm doing, not my name, which is Warren ma'am"

Warren was about to salute, then he noticed the lack of
1) Officer Uniform
2) Officer Rank
He felt silly.

"I seem to have gotten a bit lost. Turns out Cold is a snorer though."
He tried to be goofy, to cover up his mess, but he felt like it was even going over his own head.
"Any clue where the barracks are?"

Next thing he knew, a more familiar face turned up and introduced themselves. Honestly, this was the most female attention that Warren had gotten in years...
"Um... I'm Warren... thanks..."

It wasn't down to infatuation that he was talking like a goof, more that his emotions have been constantly thrown all over the place from relief, awe, shock, confusion and others. He was starting to think that this was all a dream...
Warren looked at the two others by him.
"I'm going to sleep"

And with that he trudged off in the direction of the barracks.
