Alicorn is sitting in her medical bed, reading a book while listening to classical music, the window is open so the waves can be heard.
Alicorn is reading on with a blank look on her face. She flips the page and closes the book as she closes her eyes. She lifts up her hands and starts to mimic playing the piano along with the music.
She bobs her head to the music as her fingers dance through the air.
Suddenly the door opens and Alicorn snaps her eyes open and lowers her hands. She looks to the door and in walks a female with white hair and glasses, wearing a commander uniform.
The commander is reading through some papers on a clip board as she walks into the room. "We'll have to cut some of the spending on food. Some of the girls won't be happy about that. Then maybe have to split out patrols in half to save fuel." She looks up. "Huh, where am I?" She looks at Alicorn and notices her siren yellow eyes. "AH! Siren!"
The commander holds up her clipboard to her face and tries to hide behind it. Alicorn is not amused.
After a couple seconds the commander peeks around the clipboard and looks at Alicorn. "Oh, wait, you're the new girl, Alicorn."
"Yes, and you're a rude woman who has barraged into my room." Alicorn says as she turns down the music on her radio.
The commander sweats a little. "Sorry!" She wipes some sweat from her brow. "I'm C-Commander Alice S-Sicilia."
Alicorn studies Sicilia up and down. Sicilia shuffles in nervousness. "How did someone like you get the commander job?" Alicorn asks.
Sicilia looks down and replies. "Um... No one else wanted the job and it got forced onto me."
Alicorn raises an eyebrow. "I'm surprised no men wanted the job, many would love to be surrounded by so many women."
"Y-You'd think, but they all said they didn't want to deal with the problems of a woman."
"And you happened to be the only one left then." Alicorn says in an unimpressed tone.
"W-Well, I just got out of the naval academy and the next thing I knew I was being s-shipped here and got a massive rank up."
Alicorn just hums and looks to the window. "Now why are you cutting the food spending in half and splitting the patrols?"
"U-Um... W-Well, not to be rude." Scilica shuffles in nervousness. "That would be kind of your fault." Alicorn looks back to Scilica, causing the commander to grow more nervous. "Y-You see we spent a lot of resources on finding and stopping your murder of a million people. And the cost of clean up was high too, so were sorta tight on spending right now." She touches the tips of her pointer fingers together.
"I see." Alicorn picks up her book and goes back to reading. "You may leave now."
"Huh?"
Alicorn turns her radio back up. "You may leave."
"O-Oh, uh... r-right." Scilica heads back to the door. "I need to get my paperwork done or Yorktown won't be too happy."
Scilica closes the door behind her as she leaves.
"Yorktown...." Alicorn mumbles. "She is... was... my mother, isn't she?" Alicorn looks back at the door, a small smirk forms on her face and her eyes glow. "The Commander will be a fun person to play with."
Alicorn shakes her head and her eyes stop glowing. She grunts and rubs her head. Then after a few seconds she goes back to reading her book.
