Here I am standing beside Rossman and Hikari. Everyone at the table is looking at us. A few of them send me confused and weird looks. I'm going to ignore the one filled with lust, you that person doesn't exist at all.

Rossmann - ' This is sub-lieutenant Karibuchi Takami's little sister from Fuso. She will be Taking Takami's place here. The other is Flying Officer Ashley O'Neil she was transferred here after her unit was disbanded. '

Hikari - ' I'm Karibuchi Hikari. Ill do my best to fill in for my sister. '

Ashley - ' I'm Ashley O'Neil. I look forward to getting along. '

Some of the girls are surprised of my rank and not know anything about me. It seems that Rall and Rossmann both know who I am. Thats good. Rall then stands up to introduce herself.

Rall - ' Im Gubdula Rall, I'm the Commander of the 502nd. My rank is flight leader. '

Aleksandra - ' I am Flight Lieuenant Aleksandra Ivanovna Pokryshkin. '

Now the thing that I must bonk and send to jail has risen.

Krupinski - ' Flying Officer Waltrud Krupinski. Will you both call me "countess"? '

Hikari - ' Is she really nobility? '

Rossmann - ' Feel free to ignore her jokes. '

Rall - ' Krupinski one of them already has someone. '

Rall why would you say that. My cheeks get flushed. Krupinski's eyes lock on to me. Flirt with me I dare you.

Krupinski - ' Ohhh? Who would that be? '

Rossmann clears her throat to get everyone's attention.

Rossmann - Let's continue with introductions.  '

Krupinski - ' Yes, yes Teacher. '

Hikari - ' Teacher? '

Rossmann - ' Yes, Im the flight instructor here. I'm Flight Sergeant Edytha Rossmann. '

Georgette - ' Georgette Lenare. I'm a Pilot Officer.'

Shimohara - ' Shimohara Sadako. I'm a Pilot Officer. '

Hikari and the cute piggy get into a glaring battle, only for the legendary Nipa to diffuse the situation. 

Nikka - ' Um, next to me is Pilot Officer Kanno Naoe. I'm Flight Sergeant Nikka Edvardone.' Katajainen. Call me Nipa. '

Rossmann - ' Okay, introductions are over. Let's eat. '

We all start eating,  the food tastes good but I think I still prefer Yoshika's cooking. With what little variety of food they have they made the most of it.

Krupinski - ' Hey, Karibuchi, can I call you Hikari? '

I look over to see the little one half asleep as she is eating. 

Shimohara - ' She's sleeping. '

Krupinski turn to me then knowing that she won't get a response from Hikari. I notice both Rossmann and Rall start paying attention to wjats about to happen. Ughh, I'm not some rare animal!

Krupinski - ' Ashley I can call you that right? Who are you seeing, are they as attractive as me? '

Rall - ' Ah right, if I recall there are two girls trying to gain her affections.'

Rall you traitor. I quickly glare at her to see a shit eatting grin. You knew this was going to happen.

Ashley - ' I don't see how my love life matters. '

Krupinski - ' Commander Rall you know who the girls are? '

Ashley - ' Just because I won't tell you dosen't mean go ask someone else!

The rest of the table laughs at our skit.  The rest of the dinner goes well, Nipa bring Hikari to her room for the night. I explore the new base that I'm on. I should write a letter to Minna tell her I'm settling in and that I'm doing okay.   I go to my room to turn in for the night. The starts look so different here.

I wake up to the light blaring into my curtainless room. I get up and do my morning routine. I make my way of to the Commander office and give a knock.

Rall - ' Come in. '

I open the door and go in. I see Rall and Rossmann sipping tea and looking out the window. I walk over to then to see what they are looking at.

Ashley - ' You still unsure about Karibuchi? '

Rossmann - ' We have too see if shes up to par to fight with us. '

Ashley - ' I have a feeling that she will do good after some encouragement.  '

Rall - ' You think so? '

Ashley - ' If not I guess I could fly, but I was never good with a wingman. '

Rall - ' Im aware of your condition with flying. You won't have sortie unless its needed. '

Ashley - ' Speaking of which,  I seem to not have a striker. '

Rall - ' Our budget is tight, it's hard enough to keep are units operational and the base. '

Rossmann - ' It certainly doesn't help that some units get broken. '

Ashley - ' Im surprised your budget didn't increase since the 501st is disbanded. Then again the 506th need alot of help too with Gallia. '

Rall - ' How was Gallia? '

Ashley - ' Considering that I died once for it, pretty good. Perrine is happy that she can go home. Should I help with striker maintenance? '

Rall - ' That would be greatly appreciated. Pokryshkin would like the help, she has an mechanical magic too. '

Ashley - ' Alright I'll head over to her and I can see what I can do. It would take some time but, what if I could get Yoshika to come her? Her healing magic is very potent. If properly trained I swear she could bring something back from the brink of death. '

Rall just nods to my suggestion, they both continue to look out the window to Hikari. I take that as my queue to leave.

I wonder over to the kitchen to see what they are doing. I see Georgette and Shimohara cooking breakfast. I enter the kitchen and look for a pot to make some coffee. Georgette keeps glancing my way and being nervous. Shimohara comes over to me.

Shimohara - ' Flying Officer O'Neil Can I help you? '

Ashley - ' Im just looking for a percolator for coffee. You can call me Ashley, I never like hearing a rank near my name. It was the same in my old unit, we were all family. '

Shimohara pulls out a percolator and I grab it filling it with crushed coffee beans and hot water.

Shimohara - ' What happend to your old unit? '

At this pint Georgette also started to listen in. I finish making my cup of coffee and I turn to leave.

Ashley - ' We disbanded after we took out a hive. I wonder what the rest of the 501st is doing? '

I then leave, the sound of food being prepped stopped. This is a nice coffee. I wonder aroumd the base until breakfast.  The we all sit down and eat. Both Shimohara and Georgette keep glancing at me, they are both surprised that a former 501st member is with them now. Enjoying their confusion I smile and take another sip of some more coffee.
