Remnant Viking

Chapter 17: Cherries First Raid

Two months has passed since my raid on that White Fang Base. Training has gone well when the idea of ripping out a cockpit and using it as a live training simulation has accelerated the cherries' response times and survival greatly. We nearly lost Zach when he got careless. Luckily his new legs took the punishment, and he was out for a week or so. This led to the rest to take this even more seriously than before. The new training practice has convinced Sleet and Camilla to let the program go forward fully. At current. I have roughly 50 cherries and all are trying to log in hours on the new sim. Production has finally completed when they fixed the engine's problem of exploding. Glad they got that handled.

The first Native Viking was an interesting thing to witness. It was slightly less bulky and a bit sleeker than the standard Viking. It was also smaller. Other than that, it was the same except for the Engine.

The cherries are currently in the process of painting their Vikings or resting in the barracks attached to the hangar. The cherries also started to form their wings. Technically, I should be telling them how the wings are formed but this is usually how it goes. You got to trust the person next to you and people tend to group up with likeminded people. It's quite tribal and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are rallying between the quadruplets. Those guys have a lot on their shoulders now. The lady pilots are forming up with a woman called Silver. Leading a wing of ten is a daunting task for a first timer. They will be fine. This lack of formal organization has Ironwood a bit annoyed, but he will come around eventually. Usually. 

My personal life has been.... Interesting. When I'm not fulfilling my role as Chief and Colonel, I tend to chill with Neo. Neo however has been bringing friends home and it warms my heart to see her making friends! I try my best to not embarrass her, but it sucks for Neo because I do it all the time. Sure, they think I'm her brother, but I let it slide when they are told otherwise. We almost had a problem when...she...brought...a Boy home. I have never loaded Emergency Rescue with such Religious Intent in my entire TWO LIFETIMES!!!! HE DARES CALL MY NEO CUTE!?!?!? HE AIN'T WRONG BUT HE AIN'T GONNA LIVE FOR LONG!!!! I'M GONNA RIP OFF HIS LEFT LEG AND SHOVE IT UP HIS---"

I also go out for drinks with Ironwood and some other officers from time to time. Hell, I even had a date with Winter, and it was good. Don't think there will be a second one but hey at least we are friends now. She doesn't give me as much sass as before but that's fine for now.

Life has been good so far. I still wonder how Team RWBY is doing. Tried calling and texting but they never respond. I worry about them, but they are talented huntresses after all. Bet Ozpin is working them to the bone.

I'm currently doing some paperwork in my office when Zach of all people came in without knocking. He may seem carefree, but he never breaks decorum like this.

Y/N: "Corporal Zach? What's the matter?"

Zach was nervous for some reason. It's rare to see the ever-cheerful Zach like this. I reckon he is about to fill me in on some Drama. Should get a microwave for the office.

Zach: "Well Sir....it's about Trisha."

Y/N: "Corporal Zach."

He saluted in less than a second.

Y/N: "There better be a DAMN GOOD REASON YOU MENTION SLUDGE IN MY OFFICE!"

Zach: "She wants back into the program Sir!"
