####Connection Established--- Captain's Log
Lt0Brien- Hovercraft Gilead II
08/17/2???
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lieutenant sits in the cockpit of the newly designed hovercraft that was given to him upon his safe return to service with E Pluribus Neo. He seems relaxed, eyes shut, listening only to the drone of the inactive hover pads holding the ship mere feet off the ground. Suddenly the voice of a young woman chimes in, breaking his concentration."Ell~ Tee! Your seats warmed up and that jack is waiting if you're ready." The voice says in a cheerful manner.
The captain's eyes open and he brushes his brown hair from his eyes. He looks around, checking where he is, as though he somehow forgot how he got there. Lt grips the hard plastic armrests and takes a deep inhale before standing up, with an audible "pop" resonating from his knees. Though only 16 years of age (so the databases in 01 say), recent events have put a strain on the young captain, taking away his youth.
"Yeah, I'm ready Yuki. Give a guy a break though would ya?" He grunts as he makes his way through the open bulk head door.
His First Mate and Operator, YukishiroTomoe, sits cross-legged in the comfortable reclining chair, an ear-to-ear grin held fast on her face. Lt0Brien can't help but smile at her ragged clothes and grease filled, brick-red hair. "Too laid-back for a solider" He thinks to himself as he walks up to his Neural Kinetics Monitor.
"Okay, where's the drop point today missy?" he says over his shoulder, tapping the screen to check that everything is working correctly.
Yuki spins around in her chair, stopping it in front of the left most keyboard and monitor. "Mannson Park, 10 Kilos from that old church."
"And the-"
"2 Agents, 4 operatives; one Zion, two Meros, and a single Machinist NK levels 28, 48, 49, and 19 (respectively)... And the usual Legion hobo-Exiles that like to crowd around the innocent little girls" She cuts in, adding an innocent face to the end bit for emphasis. "You know, another walk in the park."
"Far to laid back" he thinks again with a chuckle. "Alrighty then, let's get this over with so I can get some sleep... we've got that storm to worry about tomorrow remember?"
"Yeah yeah, I got it."
The red headed girl stands to meet Lt at the jack-in chair as he sits down. She raises the cable to the metal hole in his head and stares blankly into his closed eyes.
"Something wrong?" He asks without batting an eye-lid.
"No, just wondering if I should make this hurt or not..." she says plainly, and with a giggle she plugs him in and releases the drugs into his system.
