"Roger. Follow me. I need to talk to you. Nothing bad."

I follow you to wherever

I lead him outside, far far from where Tippy would dare to think where we are. I just walk him around random places until I find a good spot.

"Listen, about Tippy. She's something else, isn't she."
I pause.

"She's been through some real stuff. If I were you, I'd just do whatever she says and watch what you say around her. I'm trying to be her friend here. I don't want to be her enemy. Lord knows how that'll go."

"Just keep it easy around her, and you should be fine. Okay?"

As soon as Whiskey leaves the room, Yukamo goes to sit down next to Tippy with a tray of food. She also seems to have forgotten she's still wearing her welding gear.
: Hey, congrats on the promotion. I noticed your squad seems to be missing a few people, though. What happened? They get traded for the new guys?

[Gojira]

"Three of them died," I say, putting it bluntly.

"...Something like that yeah. In more ways than what's preferable."

"Three of them died," I say, putting it bluntly.

I again roll my hidden eyes.

"yeah thanks, what would we do without you."

I pause for a moment.

"I can't afford to hate Roger right now. I know his mind is conflicted and i sympathize. But that... i'm getting more suspicious. How did he get files like THAT. Especially now? He's got to be pulling some strings for something that sensitive."

I almost feel bad for Painter.

"Don't worry, i'm more than aware of what i'm tampering with. I know a lot more about her than you think. Some personal digging really does reveal that she's "really something."."

"That little incident was a little too brash on my part. For which i will gladly apologize to anyone in the messhall for witnessing. That doesn't mean she's not who i think she is. If you want to be her friend you better step carefully."

I turn to leave.

[blockguy™]

I leave, alongside Roger.

As we enter the mess hall, I see someone in welding gear.

"Hey, uh, you forgot to take off your welding gear."

[Qwepir]

"Three of them died," I say, putting it bluntly.

"...Something like that yeah. In more ways than what's preferable."
I again roll my hidden eyes.

: Wait, they died? What happened?

She gets a spoonful of food and starts bringing it up to her face only to finally realize she's still wearing a welding mask.

[Gojira]

"They all died fighting. Guerra broke his neck on ejecting, Mbombe was vaporized, and Kißinger was, well… bifurcated."

[Tayasaurus]

: Wait, they died? What happened?

She gets a spoonful of food and starts bringing it up to her face only to finally realize she's still wearing a welding mask.

I notice the spoon fail.

"As someone who wears their helmet 24/7 i can totally teach you a trick that will k-"

I notice Whisky walk in. I ignore him.

"Yeah, they died. Honorably as usual... mostly."

[blockguy™]

"Aw, no, finish what you were saying about your helmet. This could come in handy."

[Qwepir]

"They all died fighting. Guerra broke his neck on ejecting, Mbombe was vaporized, and Kißinger was, well… bifurcated."

She gets the mask off.
: Injured himself ejecting, huh? Must suck for him.

"Yeah, they died. Honorably as usual... mostly."

: What do you mean "mostly"?

[Gojira]

"Kißinger shot someone in a parachute. The Huit squad lead got furious and flew her plane at him. His body was found in two parts, sans head."
I mutter under my breath, "Apparently she wasn't kidding about mounting his head on her wall."
