Before Jason could reach for a piece of bread, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped a little when he felt the hand. Just the thought of having to talk to someone made him nervous already. He turned to see the knight, and began to see a feminine form. He began to get even more nervous. He was bad at talking to people, let alone women. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw who it was. It was Serah. THE Serah. The one people would always make stories about. She said to him, "You needn't sit alone, friend. Let me join you.". Only one thought came to Jasons mind. "Don't do something stupid.". His worries were made even worse as he realized he had been staring the entire time. He became a bit flustered as he noticed and looked away. He heard her ask for his name. "J-Jason...". He muttered as he crossed his arms on the table and shoved his head into to hide his blushing. He had felt another person sit by him, but he was too busy hiding to check who it was.

Hm

Tor motioned towards Filia and Titan and said, "We have a group at the mess hall already, want to join?" The girl shrugged and slung the strap of her sniper rifle of her shoulder like a quiver.

At this, Skyla exited the kitchen triumphantly and announced, "I've got some fresh food done, Come get some!" Filia's eyes went wide as she bolted forward to get some food "YESYESYEYSYESYES!" She screamed, accidentally pushing over a knight or two to get to Skyla. Tor received a strange look from Skyla as he took his food, then retreated to a table. Filia grabbed some stew (not bothering to even get a spoon) and joined Tor at his table

Well what do you know? A wild knight appeared!

(( Sometimes too much people overwhelms me. By now i have no idea which character is which. ))

"Arrrg!" Chael grunted as someone shoved him down. He stood up to his feet, to notice someone who carried a giant rifle to run ahead. "Could you at least wait! People this day! For vog sake!" The knight screamed as he hurls his fist around to the sky. It is finally his turn to grab some food.

He grabbed some rice and grubs. Chael heard his tummy growling and barking since he is released from the pot, to even smell the delicacy of food, it felt really great.... Maybe too great. He did not bother to find a table, and decided to sit a meter away from the kitchen. (( I asume skyla is serving it there )). The hungry monster quickly picked his tableware, and cutted a big chunk of the red succulant beef, before he chomped it down to peices. "It's good... Heavenly i might say." He felt a eureka for nothing in his tongue, for 3 years hibernating, that beef sure hits the spot.

He activated his visor, to peek closer to the food. After making a few note, he finished the soup faster than a speed boosted wolver. The knight turned around to look for the chef. He asked his way to her and asked a few question. "How do you make the beef so juicy? I always end up with dry and hard meat when i make a stew." He grabed his note and pen. Bombing is one thing he love, but he is a bit into cooking since he usually cook for his squad back then.

Mundy: Mess Effect.

With the wings tightened in his back to avoid attention, Mundy started analysing everyone in the Mess Hall.

I never tought I'd see an elite swordsbearer like Cherub going all lovey-doley with the first person he meets after cryo-sleep. Maybe that's also an effect from cryo-stasis?

He just barely pays attention to what the Vanguard lady says, only catching the parts reffering directly to him:
"...that up-and-coming gunslinger valkyrie...."

That hunting rifle looks realy advanced, now that I looked at it....
"...were talking about you before we took off....."

Some guy staring at his gauntlets. I think theyre some new model that Paladina made while under Bechamel's wing...
The hunger disallows Mundy from thinking furthermore about why that knight has experimental gear.
Some advanced Mecha-knight just popped out of the kitchen quarters with the beef. Aparently its so tasty that the first tester got knocked out, or maybe thats just cryo-sickness again. I realy wish we had another way of making interstellar trips....

"...personal letter recommending that I consider you for membership in my unit."
Damnit. The Vanguard's talking to you! Pay attention!

"You know him; the guy has all the tender love and kindness of a moon rock. You'd have to knock his socks off to get something like that. Interested?"

I think shes talking about Argonnos, or maybe Flannigan. That damn dog....

Mundy finnaly lets out a full phrase:
"Sure. Whats the composition of your unit, madam?"

...and finnaly realises how much his stomach hurts. But there's a Vanguard proposing you a position on her squad. Sit tight and wait, damnit!

Control

Titan clasped his hands in front of him very formally, and nodded in appreciation for the invitation. Everyone seemed in such a fast mood, so brief. However, Titan found this mood nearly perfect for the mission ahead of them, the end to a great dream and the awakening coming like a storm. They were home, and they didn't even know it.

Titan strode behind Filia, eyes darting around. The intense bustle and the cries of hunger made him queasy. Sometimes, it was okay to act like a child, but that never meant that Titan wasn't free to react independently. He sat down at the table, and eyes rose to look at everyone. He set his left arm on the table, propped up his right arm elbow, and set his chin upon his elbow. His hunger could wait till there wasn't a crowd at the lunch line.

He sat there silently, contemplating...

The knight that barreled through succeeded in knocking Den off balance, and with a thump, he hit the ground. It took barely a moment before he was laughing loudly, teeth clenched in an attempt to stop.

After a few seconds, Den managed to reign back his laughter. He sprang back to his feet to grab some food, wondering who to sit with.

Filia had been heartily digging in, and had already nearly finished her meal when Titan sat next to her.He had his arm on the table and set his chin on his elbow, looking to be deep in thought. Filia scooted over a few inches and shoulder bumped him, Warhawk sliding against him. "Hey, something wrong?" She examined him for a moment, then scooped a package of Mountain Jelly (like Mountain Dew, but with jelly!) out of her cloak. "Im already done with my meal, but... You can have this!" She offered him the pudding, an awkward smile spreading along her cheeks.

Mundy? "Snipin's a good job, mate!"

((Sorry to keep you waiting! I KINDA screwed up my previous post- was rather disoriented due to having to rush- and didn't know where to put Ragnir back into the story.))

While the others had talked, Ragnir had found the mess hall, picked up a large helping of fried fish and some green beans, then slathered the fried fish in a copious amount of cheese sauce. Well, nobody was calling him 'regular army' anytime soon. Fortunately the mess hall seemed better than the usual fare.

Ragnir proceeded to walk around looking for just the right table. He wanted somewhere to eat where nobody looked like they'd throw up on his food. The tables nearby were filling up very quickly with just those types. Besides, he could walk to the end of the room if he felt the need, where some of the other Knights... didn't seem up to such a task.

After a good few minutes of searching, he'd noticed a particularly odd table. Someone staring at a pair of freakin' cool gloves? Check. The probably-a-Valkyrie guy? Check. A girl that might be a robot? Check. A couple of knights... 'fraternizing'? Bow Checka Wow Wow.

Some would skip this kind of table and find somewhere quieter. Ragnir was tempted to do that, but then he remembered something he'd heard about a year ago.

"The weird guys fight the best, big bro!"

"Are you kiddin', Rega?" Ragnir said to a little sister that wasn't even in the same ship. "Come on, I just got outta cryo-sleep! You're gonna make me look crazy," Ragnir said, aloud, before realizing that he'd just said that aloud. "Whoops. Too late."

Shrugging, he decided it was as good a place as any to meet some of his fellow knights. They looked about as well equipped as a Squire, anyway... "Whew!" Ragnir set his plate down, then took a quick glance at the occupants of the table before stabbing his fried fish with a fork and lifting it off the plate. Lunchtime!

Let's get our story on.

As Serah spoke, it occurred to her that Mundy didn't seem to be giving her his full attention. He kept looking away at other interesting people, and by the time he got around to answering her question, she didn't feel like inviting him anymore. She had to remind herself that she was doing this for her squad, not for her own benefit.

"Sure. Whats the composition of your unit, madam?" Mundy replied.
"I don't have one yet. I was hoping you'd be the first."

She glanced away and accidentally locked eyes with Cherub, who had taken a seat next to her.
"Howdy," he said.
Serah practically jumped out of her skin. "What the!?-"
"What?" said Cherub, giving her innocent baby eyes.
"Don't do that!"
"Do what?"
"What you just did."
"But I didn't do anything."
"Ugh." She elbowed him in the shoulder.

Cherub just laughed. "Sorry, Serah. You're so fun to tease." He turned his attentions to the other knights. "So, since we're all here, I figure we should all introduce ourselves. I'm Cherub. This is Serah. Chances are good that we're going to become your squad leaders soon, so we should probably take this time to become better acquainted. What are all your names? Let's start with you, Mister Valkyrie boy," he said, pointing at Mundy.

Full house

A few minutes after he had started sitting down, Filia and Titan soon sat next to him. He acknowledged them with a quick nod of the head. He turned his attention back to Serah and the valkyrie. As he did he noticed the rookie knight forumm before, trying to hide his embarrassment. "I wouldn't want to be stuck talking to her either." Tor muttered sympathetically. As soon as he got back into enjoying his food, another figure sat down next to them.

"Whew!" a loud sigh came from the newcomer. Tor could instantly tell by his attire that he was brumavian. "Interesting." he thought to himself. "Sorry, Serah. You're so fun to tease." Tor looked to his right again, as a new uproar started. He almost spat out his coffee to see it was Cherub, sitting right next to Serah. "So, since we're all here, I figure we should all introduce ourselves. I'm Cherub. This is Serah. Chances are good that we're going to become your squad leaders soon, so we should probably take this time to become better acquainted. What are all your names? Let's start with you, Mister Valkyrie boy," he said, pointing at Mundy.

"Wait!" Tor said excitedly. "You're the same rank as Serah?!" the disbelief in his voice was evident, he even had his hand outstretched, pointing to Cherub. Too late Tor realized his mistake, he had brought both of their focuses on him. He quickly regained his composure and sat back down, trying to draw attention away from him. "If Ozlo told ANY of them about my past, I'm done here." Tor thought frantically.

Pulling rank.

"You're the same rank as Serah!?" Tor cried.
Cherub shook his head. "A rank higher. I'm a Lieutenant."

A quick perusal through his professional history showed he had quite the resume. Some of his missions were classified. Those that weren't classified often involved the neutralization of high-profile Morai targets, such as the infamous Morai super-dreadnaught Belshazzar, which he caused to destroy itself with its own Tearium bombs, and the 10,000-strong Morai Neon Legion, which he somehow coerced into surrendering using just three knights and copious amounts of duct tape.

The obscure nature of his exploits would explain why he wasn't more widely recognized.

He was about to ask for their names again when the ship shuddered. Thinking nothing of it, he shook his head and continued. "Once I get all your names, we should discuss our abilities so we can better identify which squads we should split up into. Sound like a plan?"

Mundy: Enter Team Mess

"...I was hoping you'd be the first."

Wait, I tought I had a lacking profile?

Vakarian was about to respond before being interrupted by Cherub being immature again. At least this time it was with Serah, so it felt more, uh, "well-placed".
It would be likely that they crossed paths before, after all they were "stored" in the same sector of the ship, and that wouldnt happen without purpose.

After some prankfull comment at Serah, Cherub got up and spoke to the fellow knights in the Hall:

"So, since we're all here, I figure we should all introduce ourselves. I'm Cherub. This is Serah. Chances are good that we're going to become your squad leaders soon, so we should probably take this time to become better acquainted. What are all your names?...

...Let's start with you, Mister Valkyrie Boy."

The center of a veteran's attention. What an odd position to b---
"Wait! Youre the same rank as Serah?!"
Aaaand, its gone. The gauntlets knight was for some reason shocked to hear that some cool looking guy and another cool looking lady happen to be in the same position. Cant blame him, tough. Not with how informal Cherub was acting a minute ago.
((EDIT: got ninja'd by Thin))
A somewhat-proudfull-explanation-of-the-Leutenant's-achievements later, the ship shuddered for some reason. Whatever hunger Mundy was feeling (and it was a lot) vanished as the couple of adrenaline molecules that were still left in his bloodstream kicked in. A ship shuddering like that after arriving in a planet ususaly means....

Introduction

"Fine by me." Tor spoke. He shrugged off the ship shuddering, it was unusual but not completely out of place. "If we're collecting info, I'm Tor and I have a background in CQC and swordsmanship, I'm proficient with short and mid range firearms too." Tor thought back to when he first learned how to fight, with his father. He shook the thought out of his head. "That about does it for me, any questions?" He made an exaggerated hand motion with his gauntlets.

Titan looked over at Filia for a second before plucking the pudding from her hand, cracking it open, and swallowing its contents on the spot. He then spun around on the bench, one leg in and one leg out, and spoke simply, "I'm not quite so sure what to make of the situation, to be honest," he admitted, and moved the stray strands of hair out of his face before continuing, "It feels wrong, somehow, to leave a planet to war and unlivable conditions, to find another planet to continue the culture that led to that war. And I feel like something is just about on the edge of happening, like we are one movement away from being punished for this new taboo our race has committed, the taboo of leaving our planet in a hellish state." His tone was rhythmic yet again, evenly paced between every four syllables.

Could dreams change a person?

Just then, Tor frantically spouted jargon about a few strangers not so far away. Titan moved back into his position on the bench, and feigned the push-back of his hair to get a better look of the new arrivals, and recognized the two as high ranking officers. His pale-magenta eyes flicked between them, before he lowered his arm from pushing his hair back and appeared to lock eyes with the table. "Just some dogs," he muttered, "hiding a flaw between their barks and bites..."

His opinion of those of ascended rank were lower than his of lower ranks. The entire ranking system was a way to label Knights as good for missions, but it wasn't always their skill that they counted on, and the way it was romanticized left a bitter taste in his mouth. His skill was, personally, better than these two because of endless days on the first year of the ship, the practice of simulation after simulation, countless hours, as he bettered himself for the next world. And were these people still the same, after the dreams they'd had for three straight years? Perhaps their skill had been overshadowed by the chaos of their own mind...

Titan knew that he was evil, as in life he took in order to live. But would anyone bother to think the same?

He looked up from the bench, smiling yet again, speaking softly, but in rhythm, "Hello, my name is Titan, what is yours?"

that shuddering....

...usualy means turbulence on the solar sails, and that happens all the time. Looks like there wasnt enough adrenaline left to make him worry too much after all. Pffft.

Latching onto the introduction model the gauntlets guy "Tor" just made, Vakarian stood up and continued after him.

"*ahem* Mundy Vakarian, I have a background on covert-ops and marksmanship, I'm proficient with bombs too."
Mundy opens up his wings a little while looking at them. Theyre a light gray and not much impressive.

"And I'm also a Valkyrie....*cough*"

Jason still kept his head in his arms. He muttered something. Shortly after, he tried muttering again. This time, they heard an audible, "Jason. I... I'm a gunner.". Great, he thought. He just wanted to be alone to avoid his shyness and instead everyone was crowded around near him.

What to make of this?

Filia smiled good naturedly as a Titan proceeded to gulp down the pudding in one fell swoop. He spun to face her and replied, "Im not quite so sure what to make of the situation, to be honest." The behemoth swept a few stray strands of hair aside and continued, "It feels wrong, somehow, to leave a planet to war and unlivable conditions, to find another planet to continue the culture that led to that war. And I feel like something is just about on the edge of happening, like we are one movement away from being punished for this new taboo our race has committed, the taboo of leaving our planet in a hellish state."

For a moment, Filia didn't know what to make of it- she'd been expecting amiable banter rather than deep philosophical discussions. She took a moment to think about an appropriate response, watching as Titan turned once more and stared at the table, seemingly deep in thought. "Just some dogs hiding a flaw between their barks and bites."

Filia heard the voices of the other Knights speaking to each other, and even recognized the legendary Serah, but paid them no heed. This was a rather interesting conversation, and Titan was an interesting man. Only now did the two of them realize they were being spoken to- Cherub had asked for everyone to introduce themselves, and so far, Tor ,mJason, and Mundy had obliged. In response to Cherub's request, Titan replied, "Hello, my name is Titan, what is yours?" A grin returned to the girl's face as she looked over at Cherub and added, "Staff Seargent Filia 'Deadshot' Meishu, at your service." Pride caused her smile to grow wider as she continued, "By far the best Hunter on Isora, and almost certainly it's best sniper. It's a pleasure." Her smile faded slightly as she added further, "I'm terrible with pretty much anything that doesn't shoot bullets, though."

Turning back to Titan, she said softly, "And in regards to us leaving Isora..." After another brief moment, Filia carefully started, "Well, I like to think of it as a new beginning. I certainly didn't fit into the culture of Isora, and many people on this ship probably didn't, either. Besides, don't you think it best that many die while us few live, rather than have our entire people die out from petty feuds? Besides..." The girl's mind wandered back, and she remembered the sharp agony of being beaten and mugged by rebels and robbers. A sharp glint appeared in her eye as she murmured softly, "Some people deserve to die."

"Well," Lavinya states as she slides down towards the end of the table, "I'm better off known as Aralon. It's my surname, but I'm the only one who has it. In front of superiors, I'd like it to stay that way for formalities' sake."

In front of her, on the table, is an MRE of cassava foo-foo. Oddly enough, for those in the cultural know, there is no liquid to supplement that...

Den, after taking an unreasonable time perusing the available tables, settled on a fairly crowded one. Interesting people seemed to have conglomerated around it. In a few quick bounds, Den made his way there, when he somehow lost his footing - did the floor shift?

Too late to recover, he flew right into the centre of their table.

"Once I get all your names, we should discuss our abilities so we can better identify which squads we should split up into. Sound like a plan?"
Thankfully, my sensors were well tuned enough for me to have caught that all the way from the Kitchen.
I re-entered the mess hall, taking a quick look at everyone.
Undisturbed by the person laid flat out on the table, I sat , and introduced myself.
"Hi, I'm... the Skylark Tactical Intelligence. You can call me Skyla."
I dropped the hand that was at my chest onto the table gently, continuing, "In simple words, I'm a stategist."

Never before has shaking hands been so meaningful.

Titan downed his pudding in one gulp and spun on the bench so his legs straddled the seat. "I'm not quite so sure what to make of the situation, to be honest," he noted as he flicked a stray hair from his face. "It feels wrong, somehow, to leave a planet to war and unlivable conditions, to find another planet to continue the culture that led to that war. And I feel like something is just about on the edge of happening, like we are one movement away from being punished for this new taboo our race has committed, the taboo of leaving our planet in a hellish state."

Titan rotated back to a proper seated position to resume rotating the pudding cup on the tabletop. "Just some dogs," he muttered, "hiding a flaw between their barks and bites."

Cherub folded his hands against his chin and stared at the wall. The war had taken so many lives. No, the war didn't take those lives; people did. The Knights and Morai did. He did. And in their quest to rebuild their war-torn world, was it right that they should seek an easy way out? Or perhaps, as Titan suggested, there was no such thing as an easy way out. They would be made to suffer for their deeds, one way or another. Either they stay and suffer on their hellish world to rebuild it on their own dime, or they explore and suffer on the new world before they're allowed to bring back a borrowed solution. For those who have taken the souls of the living, an easy peace was naught but a pipe dream.

Titan's pudding cup stopped moving.

"Hello, my name is Titan, what is yours?" he said suddenly. Shaken out of his thoughts, Cherub lifted his chin to look in Titan's direction. "My name is Cherub," he replied. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Cherub reached out his right arm to Titan and unfolded his hand.

Introductions.

Tor spoke up first. "Fine by me. If we're collecting info, I'm Tor and I have a background in CQC and swordsmanship, I'm proficient with short and mid range firearms too. That about does it for me. Any questions?" Cherub grinned at him and replied, "Flannigan was going to mention something to me about you, but he never got around to it. We'll talk later." He winked and set his attention on the next respondant.

The cute sniper girl straightened in her seat and stated, "Staff Seargent Filia 'Deadshot' Meishu, at your service. By far the best Hunter on Isora, and almost certainly it's best sniper. It's a pleasure. I'm terrible with pretty much anything that doesn't shoot bullets, though."

She turned to Titan to express her opinion on his comments. "And in regards to us leaving Isora...well, I like to think of it as a new beginning. I certainly didn't fit into the culture of Isora, and many people on this ship probably didn't, either. Besides, don't you think it best that many die while us few live, rather than have our entire people die out from petty feuds?"

Her expression soured. "Besides...some people deserve to die."

Cherub had half a mind to slap her for that last comment. The other half felt profoundly saddened that a human being should think so little of her fellow humans. He raised one hand to his mouth to hide his uncontrollable scowl.

"H-how about we just...ahem. Anyway. Your turn," he stuttered, gesturing to the knight in padded gunslinger armor. The knight cleared his throat. "Mundy Vakarian. I have a background in covert-ops and marksmanship. I'm proficient with bombs too." He opened up his wings a little, to the surprise of any others who weren't paying attention. "And I'm also a Valkyrie," he added for dramatic effect. Cherub acknowledged him with a nod. "We could definitely use your skills. A gunslinging flyer could be quite potent indeed. And we could always use a good bomber in our squad!"

The shy knight spoke up next. "Jason. I- I'm a gunner," he stuttered, then averted his eyes and clammed up. Cherub could only offer him a weak smile. He never understood people like that, though goodness knows he wanted to.

Then came the tailed-helm knight's turn. "Well," she stated as she slid toward the end of the table, "I'm better-known as Aralon. It's my surname, but I'm the only one who has it. In front of superiors, I'd like it to stay that way for formalities' sake." Cherub shot her a reassuring wink. "Sure thing. I recall you telling me you were once some kind of rescue worker; that could definitely become useful in a strange new world."

The android lady spoke next. "Hello. I am the Skylark Tactical Intelligence. You may call me Skyla. In simple words, I am a stategist." Cherub patted her arm, despite knowing she wouldn't feel it. "We could definitely use your abilities. Welcome to the team."

Cherub was about to ask Serah about her squad composition preferences when they were loudly interrupted by a knight crashing into their table. Food scattered into every astonished face as the knight slid through several bowls and trays. Cherub wiped a string of pasta out of his face and exclaimed, "Who might you be, mister Rude Intruder?" Once his heart stopped beating so fast, he added in a softer tone, "And are you okay? You hurt anywhere?"

"Aralon" couldn't help but

"Aralon" couldn't help but poorly stifle a giggle at the spectacle, before also inspecting the clumsy person's body.

"Did the floor slip under him or something?" she asks at no one before pulling the man back up. "H-he...PFFFT HA HA HA!!! He went flying all over the table...and, and...you guys..."

When the person does get back up, she has to inquire in between laughs.

"Did...hehehe...d-did...haha...are you alright?! Ha ha ha...*coughs and deeply inhales*...whew...oh...my stomach hurts now...ow...my God, I didn't see that coming in a million years..."

"And...um...Lieutenant, I'm...whew, let me settle down a bit...I'm officially jobless, unless I move to the Guardian program. Rescue Knights were disbanded when we left Isora, and I don't think I'd want to resume the job any time soon...not when we haven't even gotten to the planet yet."

There was no sign of pain on Den's face as he regained his stance off of the mess on the table. The undoubtedly plentiful gazes from around the room and being adorned in food of every variety seemed to do little to phase Den, however, as he sniggered along at his stumble.

"Sorry! I'm Den, sir!" he piped up with a great big, toothy smile. Den looked quite young, that much was quite apparent. Quickly, he threw in a salute before wiping some wasted food off his helmet's visor.

"I'm fine, sir!" he added afterword. Any of the fading pain he felt from hitting the table was rapidly dismissed.

Wut

Filia's fury died down as she realized the full extent of what she'd just said, and the fact that everyone at the table had heard. Cherub looked both irritated and flustered, so he hurriedly moved on to the next knight. One by one, he went through introductions; a seemingly polite girl named Aralon, the Valkyrie Mundy, -damn, Filia wished she had wings like those!- a shy knight named Jason, and the very interesting Skyla. When the girl introduced herself, something nagged at the back of Filia's mind. She couldn't quite make out what it was, and before she had a chance to, a Knight went barreling into the table, knocking aside more than a few utensils and bowls.

Cherub's face was, to say the least, astonished, and he exclaimed indignantly, "Who might you be, mister Rude Intruder?" After a moment, he had recollected himself, and continued in a softer tone, "And are you okay? You hurt anywhere?"

Aralon had taken it upon herself to help the knight up, and her light hearted giggles brought a smile to Filia's cheeks. A few wheezes and coughs here and there worried her, but it couldn't be anything all that serious.

The intruder, now draped in several food items, grinned as he stood up- what the hell? He was young, very young. Even younger than Filia, who had been living a mere sixteen cycles ((years)). "Sorry! I'm Den, sir!" He squeaked, his voice high and reedy. "Im fine, sir!"

Filia chuckled at the spectacle, and finally the pieces connected in her mind. If she could get a word with Skyla...

The girl promptly stood up and approached the android. Nervously, she began, "Hi, I'm Filia. Uh, I recall hearing that you're actually artificial intelligence, no? I was thinking... Would you be okay with me tapping into you and uploading your presence into my HUD? An android could probably handle its myriad functions much better than any knight, and this way, you can also see what I see."

Mundy: Enter Mess Team.

" A gunslinging flyer could be quite potent..."

Flyer.
Mundy couldnt help but put an annoyed expression on his face over that statement. Yeah of course, if only he could actualy fly at all.
Quickly realising he would have to reveal this soon, Vakarian says in a weak, but audible tone towards Serah, who will likely be his squad leader:
"We can discuss that last part later....."

Ragnir had wolfed down at least half the plate while they'd talked, managing to pull his tray out of the way of the incoming Den.

Of course, eating hadn't stopped him from listening, as each Knight introduced themselves in turn. So they were forming squads! They already had two snipers. Filia made him a little nervous, but then, Ragnir could see where she was coming from... Mundy had some bombing abilities, that was good... they had at least a few close range fighters... Know what, sis? You were right again. This is promising.

"Hoy! Are you guys formin' squads?" Ragnir turned toward that Serah lady. He was quite out of the loop, but Serah seemed like she knew her stuff. "Guess I better speak up. Name's Ragnir! I'm a Squire with two-star gear clearance, specializing in close combat with blunt weapons! You guys look like you know your stuff. Got any spots open?"

Jason had been too busy

Jason had been too busy hiding to notice the knight coming straight towards his head on the table. The knight had hit Jason at ramming speed, knocking Jason off his seat back first onto the floor. His head hit the floor making him dizzy for a second, but he recovered and got back up as if nothing had happened. As the pain subsided, Jason started to keep his face up and actually pay attention this time. Despite staying at attention, he still kept his head facing down so he wouldn't make eye contact. "T-There has been a little bit of talking about squads, but not t-too much..." Jason stuttered out.

Enter Team Mess

Only now Mundy realised two things:

-The veterans got their attentions off of him allready.
-He hadnt eaten anything yet.

Sadly, that same shuddering that killed off his hunger also made some knight that was heading towards their table slide straight trough it, sending any edible items flying into everyone's faces.

Following this event, as the next knight started introducing himself Mundy sneaked away into the kitchen, off to salvage whats left of the food that the advanced mecha knight; which, le gasp, is actualy Skyla in an android shell; cooked.

Bleep blip Cwerr Wreee... Blap blap.

I was caught off gaurd by Chael's question- While I may be a good cook, there's no way I was that good.
How... Embarrasing.
"W-well, I add a little water into the pan before I cook the meat, so that the meat doesn't burn while I let the meat sit there as I add the extra ingredients, the sauces first, so that the flavor comes out first, and distribute evenly amongst the rest of the food.
Then, the vegetables, so as to prevent overcooking.
Technically what I made is not a stew- I merely made enough sauce for everyone so that it would compliment the rice. . ."
If a robot could sweat, there'd be a drop rolling down the side of my head.
"Anything else you'd like to know?"

Titan smiled slightly at Filia's outburst, resting his chin on his palm yet again and resting his left arm on the table. He felt the same, but had yet to voice his opinion. But Cherub spoke up, "My name is Cherub," he replied. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." And outstretched his arm. Titan sat up a little straighter, and leaned in to take his arm and look into his eyes with his own pale magenta irises. He offered a slight smirk and a good handshake. They had formally introduced themselves, Cherub, Serah, Tor, Filia, Mundy, Aralon, and Jason. When~

Crash!

A Knight crashed into the table, chunks of food and liquid flying all over Titan. He looked unfazed, though still expressed discontent as he removed the bits from his person, leaving no stain on his pure white suit. The material didn't absorb at all, to make it as bright as possible to attract more enemies. He leaned over the intruder, before they sprang up, flinging more food. Titan wiped his face yet again, and sat back. The Knight yelled out, "Sorry! I'm Den, sir!"

Another Knight spoke up, coming to inspect the mess, thought Titan suspected he'd heard them collaborating. They were one of the biggest groups in the cafeteria. "Hoy! Are you guys formin' squads?" Ragnir turned toward Serah, "Guess I better speak up. Name's Ragnir! I'm a Squire with two-star gear clearance, specializing in close combat with blunt weapons! You guys look like you know your stuff. Got any spots open?"

Titan smiled slightly. They'd never organized any spots, but what did it matter anyway? With these people, he'd no doubt in the strength this team would compose.

He leaned over to Cherub, and propped his elbow on the table, and displayed threads that shimmered as they dangled in loops by his fingers. If they were doing introductions, he would comment his specialty.

"I work as both a Striker and Scout. I've practiced with these customized gloves for years, even before entering this ship, and I prefer them over the weight of any metal sword or gun. They have high range and can strike fast, adding up quickly. My speed and ability to work independently makes me out as a Scout, however, I'm fine with either." He set down his hand, and retracted. They could organize squads if they wanted, but his independent work would always be a factor, he couldn't deal with so many people at once, his lonely lifestyle continued even after the death of their world.

"Is that nearly it then?"

Squad composition.

Cherub began organizing everyone in his mind.

Aralon's a guardian of undefined role.
Titan's a melee scout.
Skyla's an intel specialist.
Ragnir's a front-liner.
Filia is a crack sniper.
Jason's a general gunslinger.
Mundy is a gunslinger and bomber.
Tor is a hybrid swordsman and gunslinger.

Serah's wants Mundy, so she can have him. They're valkyrie buddies anyway. She can probably handle Jason better than I can, so she can have him too. That gives her two gunslingers and some bombing functionality, so she needs at least one sword. But I need some good folks too; I think I can work well with Titan, so he's a must-have. Serah's got some good gunslinging units under her belt, so maybe she'll let me have Filia. Dang it, we're both going to fight over that girl! I shouldn't hang my hat on her just yet. That leaves Aralon, Ragnir, Tor, and Skyla. Aralon's cute, so I'll take her. Titan's and Filia's abilities lend themselves well to aggressive scouting, so if I focus on that, that makes Skyla considerably more useful, leaving Serah with Ragnir and Tor, both of whose swordsmanship she can better make use of.

Cherub lifted his head from his folded hands. "I think I've got it. Serah, how about you take Mundy, Jason, Ragnir, and Tor, while I take Aralon, Titan, Filia, and Skyla?"

Serah thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's acceptable. What do you guys think?"

Odd Man Out

A huge crash echoed as a newcomer hit the table, face first. Tor sighed, just another interesting person on this ship. After Cherub voiced his concern, he turned to Tor. "Flannigan was going to mention something to me about you, but he never got around to it. We'll talk later." he said. Tor froze up immediately, was Cherub screwing with him? Did he already know his identity? Or was his statement genuine, and he had no idea who Tor was. Tor decided to put it off and pay attention to the rest of the introductions.

"Besides...some people deserve to die." Filia's statement unnerved Tor to no end. He immediately went to the conclusion that she hated the Morai, and by extension, him and his family. While he could understand her rage, he couldn't understand her outburst. "Being angry is one thing, publicly expressing it is another." he thought glumly to himself. Another thing that had caught his attention was Titan's gloves. While they weren't as high-tech as his, they looked like they could pack a punch. "I'll have to keep an eye on his fighting style." Tor mentally noted.

His father had done extensive training with him in CQC, but using the gauntlets would take some getting used to. He sighed, he'd have to come to terms with his father and family, but today wasn't that day. "I think I've got it. Serah, how about you take Mundy, Jason, Ragnir, and Tor, while I take Aralon, Titan, Filia, and Skyla?" Tor's train of thought was interrupted by Cherub's announcement.

Tor scouted out his fellow teammates with a hawk like gaze. Serah was a legend, no doubting her skills there. Ragnir was a Brumavian, they were built tough, most were born and taught to fight. That was also the case for Mundy, valkyrie's were renowned for their fighting prowess. That left Jason. Tor gave him a cursory look. The kid didn't seem like a gunner, he seemed to have nerves of puddy and he was easily outspoken by others. He instantly thought back to a conversation his father had given him.

"When you're in a squad, always know your team, your lives depend on knowing each other and being confident in each others abilities." Tor got the exact opposite feeling of trust when he looked at Jason. The entire team seemed to be almost eager to fight, Jason was the exception. Tor shrugged off the thought. "No use tearing him apart now." he thought. He turned back to Cherub.

"I like the looks of this." Tor said to Cherub. "If you don't mind, I'd like to fill out the striker role for this squad." he said, as he addressed Serah

"Um..." Aralon states for a moment, before looking back and forth between Serah and Cherub.

"...would it be a problem if I wanted to switch with Tor?"

"While It would be helpful to see what you can see, there aren't as many functions as you think there are. If you are still insistant, I will."
What I left out though, was that depending on how the link was done, she would have full acess to myself- which would be a bad situation for me and my designer.
Thankfully, nobody had yet to ask about him.
Suddenly, Cherub spoke, interrupting my line of thought.
"I think I've got it. Serah, how about you take Mundy, Jason, Ragnir, and Tor, while I take Aralon, Titan, Filia, and Skyla?"
Serah nodded in afterthought. "That's acceptable. What do you guys think?"
"I can work with that." I said in an offhanded manner.
I looked down at myself, looking over my suit.
I then looked at everyone else.
I was the only one who had neglected grabbing gear when we woke up.
"Err... I'm going to go grab my gear!" I said, rushing back off to Cryochamber B7.
-
Where is it, where is it-
After a few minutes of seaching, I found my gear.
A trusty Falchion, Nifty looking glasses, and a coat made from yellow pelts.
Putting on the Coat, I wiggled the sleeves around my ever so slightly oversized shoulder-plates.
I set the glasses on the bridge of my nose, and the Falchion on the- convieniently- belt that was built into the Coat.
I then walked out of B7.

The exchange regarding squad designations brought Den up to bouncing on his toes, literally leaking enthusiasm.

"Oh, are you picking squads? May I please join a squad, sir?" he inquired with his eyes downcast deferentially, but a hopeful little grin. His hands migrated behind his back and he rocked on his heel in unrestrained eagerness.

Skyla gave Filia a quizzical look, then replied, "While It would be helpful to see what you can see, there aren't as many functions as you think there are. If you are still insistant, I will." Filia smiled good naturedly, then listened closely as Cherub suggested squad designations.

"I think I've got it. Serah, how about you take Mundy, Jason, Ragnir, and Tor, while I take Aralon, Titan, Filia, and Skyla?"
The woman nodded thoughtfully and replied, "That's acceptable. What do you guys think?"
"I can work with that." Skyla said noncommittally. The android glanced at herself and realized she had not retrieved her gear, then left the room with a hasty explanation.

Tor has just asked to fulfill the role of striker on Serah's squad, considering he was the swordsman, and Aralon had nervously requested to witch places with Tor.

Filia had been silent for a minute or so, quietly analyzing the situation, then spoke up. "Well... From what I can see, the squad I'm on is geared more to tactical areas such as strategy and scouting, whereas the composition of Serah's squad is more well rounded and suitable for front lines combat." After a moment of thought, Filia added, "There may not be anything wrong with this setup, though. Specialization is what serves to keep some species alive, because when you try to be good at everything, you inevitably cannot be great at one particular thing. Just some food for thought. Should we have diversity or specialization among our squads?" She shifted her dark, mahogany eyes to Cherub and Serah, then concluded, "It's your choice."

Help!

(( I litteraly don't know what to do ))

Chael really are on the tip of his nerve. If he could explode, he can take out the entire town right now.

People this day, ignore everyone they want. Where is manners

He opened his backpack, and swalowed some kind of a pill. The drug were supposed to act as a releivant((How do you spell this?)), and reduce his current stress. It is rather well-known for frontlines bomber, but it is not so cheap, but not so pricy either. The knight inhaled an amount of air, and exhaled. The drug is starting to work as it flows to his central nerve system, un-stiffening his tense muscle.

"Ok, let's do this one more time!" Chael sighed. His orange eyes scanned for the room, but found no woman with red eyes and a cool robotic body. He tilted his head to the exit, and smiled faintly.

Last time i see her he doesn't seems to be carrying a weapon, she might be at her cryotube.

He casually walked out, back to the cryo chamber. And right on the entrance, he saw a very advanced mecha-knight

"Found you!" He mumbles slowly.

"Allright! I ain't gonna get another no-answer act! What did you exactly do to the soup to make the meat so tender and juicy!!" Chael gazed deep into her gleaming rubies, almost peaking at her soul– if she has one. On his left hand, a notebook and a pen is alerdy intact, and it is time to squezee answers out of her!

Ragnir quickly finished all the fish and beans on his plate, then leaned back, satisified, before promptly realizing the seats they were on had no backs to them and sitting up straight before he fell out of the seat.

Then he heard Cherub say to Serah, "How about you take Mundy, Jason, Ragnir, and Tor..."

Ragnir nodded. "Acceptable!" Yeah, that would work. Enough guns to make range less of an issue, a little explosive coverage from Mundy, and Ragnir added some close-range power. "Now, anyone got anything on where we're landing?"

A small blush came to Jasons cheeks as he learned he would be assigned to Serahs squad. He looked away from Serah. Being next to her made him nervous enough as is. He was about to make a shy plea to Cherub to let him join his group, but he quickly realized he didn't want to he with the other groups sniper. He was scared of that woman, and even more scared of that large gun. Really, he just wanted to get alone so he could play with his lute, but he didn't want to come off as rude and leave the table. As he stopped his own train of thought, he realized he had been staring absentmindedly at the sniper he so wanted to see the least. A little bit of blood rushed to his cheeks as he looked back down at the table.

After putting what was left from dinner into a plate, Mundy went to one of the empty tables and started digging in.

Meanwhile, Cherub finished discussing the initial squads' buildup:

As expected, Mundy stayed with Serah.
Tor also stays with Serah. A makeshift gunslinger on the team.
The Shy Knight named Jason tags along. Ok, another gunslinger...
And Ragnir, the Brumavan man. Why does that tittle remind me of a beer brand?

Ok, so, 2 and a half gunslingers assuming this Jason man actualy has what it takes, otherwise 1 and two halves of a gunslinger. Wait, what wicked math is this?
2 frontline fighters, with potential freezing support. I guess Serah makes that group 3.
....aaand a little stun-shock bomb. Sounds good.

On the other side of the fence:

Filia and her sick sniper rifle is with Cherub. Figures, we've got enough long-range here.
Titan and his cool gloves stick with Cherub. He seems rather charming.
And Skyla, the AI. So theyre getting the Intel Agent. *bites beef* HMHHMmmm, and t-the cook too?!
Finnaly, Aralon, the proto-girl.

By then, Vakarian had allready dug up the entire plate. He was realy hungry.
Refreshed and now with enough energy to actualy speak, Mundy stands up:

" *ahem* Cherub, sir. You left Chael, Den and Gamma.
Mundy pauses briefly , in wich something comes to mind.
"I noticed the AI had experience in cooking...*looks outside Hall* and Chael also seems keen to cooking, since hes been interrogating her since she finished the meal. If I may ask, I'd like to have him on Serah's team, so both squads can have their own cook in case something separates us down there on Cradle.
Speaking of wich, shouldnt we have been contacted by Captain Ozlo on the situation by now?"

((@Liminori Forgot about that ,edited my post! And i ignored someone who i thought ignored me... the irony. I am litteraly really embrased right now, and i could kill myself any moment. I am really sorry.))

"You did?" Chael twitched his eyebrows. He checked his notebook, and realized he did take note. "Oh... uhm, sorry... ehh I-Errrr.." He lost his words, his face is as red as a tomato. "Give me a sec.." He turned around and banged his head on the wall. "Sorry, my name is Chael... " He quickly grazed his mind to change the topic, and remembered a group she is in earlier talking about recruitment or something.

"Oh! I heard your freinds are making a squad or something like that, is that true?" He faked a smile, and scratched the back of his neck, while sweat starts to run through his face.

I guess i forgot about her too...

"I like the looks of this." Tor said to Cherub. "If you don't mind, I'd like to fill out the striker role for this squad," he said to Serah. She nodded, still deep in thought. "We could use a striker..." she muttered.

"Um..." Aralon states for a moment, before looking back and forth between Serah and Cherub, "...would it be a problem if I wanted to switch with Tor?"
Serah shook her head. "I don't believe so. The two of you seem similar enough at a glance. Though..." She paused to consider her next words. "...I'm not as familiar with you. I would like to be, when we're all done here."

She then turned to Cherub. "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be aiming for a scouting squad. Would Tor be useful to you?"
Cherub gave it a moment's thought, then replied, "I actually considered him before settling on Skyla, since I needed a hybrid. The transfer is an agreeable one."

Filia, who had been listening in silence until now, spoke up. "Well... From what I can see, the squad I'm on is geared more to tactical areas such as strategy and scouting, whereas the composition of Serah's squad is more well rounded and suitable for front lines combat. There may not be anything wrong with this setup, though. Specialization is what serves to keep some species alive, because when you try to be good at everything, you inevitably cannot be great at one particular thing. Just some food for thought. Should we have diversity or specialization among our squads? It's your choice."

"An accurate assessment, Filia," Cherub commented. "Diversity is probably best. You never know what you'll encounter out there in the wild. That's not to say there isn't a place for specialization, though, and I plan to fill that place. For that, I'll need your help."

At this point, he turned to Ragnir. "Which is where I answer your question. This 'wild' I mentioned is the planet we're landing on. I don't have any briefing on it yet, so I unfortunately can't tell you much about it. What I can tell you is precisely that: we have no idea what we're facing. Expect the unexpected, if that's even possible."

"So yes, Mundy, Ozlo should be contacting me any minute now. I wonder why he's not. What's keeping him?"
As if right on cue, the ship shuddered again. Then a computerized voice spoke on the intercoms:

Skyla, report to the bridge immediately. Skyla, report to the bridge immediately. All turret gunners: return to your posts. All turret gunners: return to your posts.

Just under a hundred knights started shuffling through the mess hall toward the double-doors. Cherub stood up to follow them. "I need to pay Ozlo a visit and see what's up. Skyla, you're with me. Serah, I'm counting on you. I think it's safe to say we'll be in harm's way pretty soon."

Serah nodded and turned to the others. "All right everyone, follow me to the armory. Square your shoulders and no slouching. March!" She stood up and began her march toward the other end of the mess hall.

The squad assignments of Chael and Den were promptly forgotten. Still, it would be wise to follow Cherub or Serah. The leader each one followed would likely remain their leader for the duration of their assignment.

Tprly?

Before Skyla could reply his answer an alarm sounded.

"Damnit, now of all times?" Chael grunted

"All right everyone, follow me to the armory. Square your shoulders and no slouching. March!" A woman in command seems to be giving orders to the knights. Everyone is on a state of alert by now. Whatever is the cause it HAS to be big.

Chael pulled a coldsnap from his bandoiler, and followed the command of Serah. He rushed to catch up with the group of knight, until he is only beside the leader. "Hey, what is happening? You seems to be the one in charge, so can i have details?" He asked Serah while keeping the pace of his steps.

Hit it in it's weak spot for massive damage

If Cherub looked over to Skyla's seat, there would be an invisible dotted line in place of where Skyla was.
However, Skyla's fine tuned recievers still picked up Cherub's order.
I reached to my Com Link with my left hand, pressing the oh so convenient button to contact Cherub.
"Understood, Sir."
Skyla then started moving towards Cherub, from outside the Mess Hall.

"Um..." Aralon states for a moment, before looking back and forth between Serah and Cherub, "...would it be a problem if I wanted to switch with Tor?"
Serah shook her head. "I don't believe so.

The two of you seem similar enough at a glance. Though..." She paused to consider her next words. "...I'm not as familiar with you. I would like to be, when we're all done here."

The rest of the conversation went on rather quickly, with Filia contributing her analysis of the squads. Tor had no qualms switching teams, although he was wary of Filia. Some more conversation from Cherub ended the conversation as a bulletin was issued across the PA system. "There goes what little wake up time we had." Tor complained. As he finished off what little rice he had left he noticed that the group was splitting up. "I need to pay Ozlo a visit and see what's up. Skyla, you're with me. Serah, I'm counting on you. I think it's safe to say we'll be in harm's way pretty soon."

Serah nodded and turned to the others. "All right everyone, follow me to the armory. Square your shoulders and no slouching. March!" She stood up and began her march toward the other end of the mess hall. At the point Tor knew he had to make a call between Serah or Cherub. He shrugged and followed Cherub, he seemed more lax than Serah and that was a welcome difference. "See you all planet side." Tor said quickly before following Cherub to the bridge.

Assuming a slouching position Tor ambled along with Cherub and Skyla. "So why did you choose this planet for the expedition?" Tor asked inquisitively to Skyla. He knew he'd get the most straightforward answer from her, and anything she said might help him get a better idea on what the planet would be like.
