Tippy continues to eat her cereal and stares at Walt. The dark circles under her eyes indicated a restless sleep.

Walter remains silent and shifts in his seat, He can see Tippy in his peripheral but fights making eye contact and takes a bite of his toast.

He eventually looks up and utters a greeting "Morning, Tippy?"

Graf, having returned overnight and getting some sleep, looks at the screen of the list of casualties. His spirits are immediately crushed when he sees Yui's name. He lets out a deep sigh, knowing that war can take anyone at a moment's notice, without warning.

It's still not fair... Yui was my comrade - my friend!

[You need to get over it. If you cried every time a soldier died in war, you wouldn't be able to save more soldiers from the same fate, would you?]

He shakes his head and looks down at the rest of the names on the list, noting the CO was injured, among other people. Why would she be wounded? Was she fighting?

After some unfocused gazing into the distance, he shakes his head and goes to get breakfast. He eventually finds Jaakko, Gus, the engineer from before the mission at the gym with Yui, and what he assumes to be her assistant, a... Helian? He still can't imagine how it's working for NAUC and why it's here.

Now that I mention it... I thought I saw that robot at one point. Can't believe I didn't notice.

He decides to sit down next to Gus and utters a "Morning, everyone." after sitting down. He hears Gus talking about Phobos and Tychon and figures out they were Helian fighter pilots based on the name.

"We captured Helians?"

"Two. Or one, and what's left of the other one. From what I heard, he fried himself before being captured."

Walter remains silent and shifts in his seat, He can see Tippy in his peripheral but fights making eye contact and takes a bite of his toast.

He eventually looks up and utters a greeting "Morning, Tippy?"

How does he know what kind of gods damned morning it is?

"Morning." Tippy said, her head resting in her hand and her hair even more out of whack than usual

Some other pilots, Djuriskas among them, enter the galley as well. Most of them stop by the casualty lists before proceeding to get their food. Eremit sits at Elu/Cualli/Gus/Jaakko's table; Virvel takes a seat at Tippy/Walt's; and Kommandant, Pansar, and Frisk sit down at a different table nearby.

Gus follows Jaakko to the table with his tray and takes a seat. The sight of Elu reminds him of the mission prior to SAR.
"Have we heard what we'll be doing with Phobos and Tychon?"
: They are currently being held on the hangar deck. I have not heard anything about what will be done with them next.

"Rough night after that mission?"

Walter also nods towards Virvel as she arrives

"Are those Helian boys allowed contacted with you-? Or- you can actually talk to them, right?" Jaakko asks Elu, recalling overhearing Cualli and Elu talking the day before.

Tippy chops a breakfast sausage in two with a loud audible click.

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

Walter's not sure how to continue the conversation, although it looks as if he was about to hesitantly say something but takes another bite of his toast and changes his attention to Virvel.

"And how about you? After what? Four missions in a day? I just fell asleep when I got back to my room."

Cualli smiles a greeting to Eremit when he joins them.

: They are currently being held on the hangar deck. I have not heard anything about what will be done with them next.
"So you and I might get to see them?" Cualli asks, perking up.

"Are those Helian boys allowed contacted with you-? Or- you can actually talk to them, right?" Jaakko asks Elu, recalling overhearing Cualli and Elu talking the day before.
: Yes.

Cualli smiles a greeting to Eremit when he joins them.
"So you and I might get to see them?" Cualli asks, perking up.
: Possibly.

: Possibly.
"I look forward to it," Cualli tells him, finishing up her food.

"Welcome back, Gaffe," Jaakko greets Graf.

He takes a bite of real, not prefab, scrambled eggs.

Gus says hello to Eremit as he sits down, and then realizes that he may not have actually spoken to him before. He takes a bite of some breakfast sausage, drumming the fork between his fingers and the table for a moment.

"We should go to speak with the Sky Marshal, Jaakko. It may not be our domain but I want to know what we'll do with the pods regardless. We shot them down, I'd say we'd be within our rights to ask."

"Good to see you again, Crash."

"We should go to speak with the Sky Marshal, Jaakko. It may not be our domain but I want to know what we'll do with the pods regardless. We shot them down, I'd say we'd be within our rights to ask."

"Wouldn't we just take it to R&D? Study it? Why a choice? What are we gonna do, give it back to the Helians?"
