Recovery

[Jeremy Hunter]

Tori looked at her recruits with tired eyes.

"Listen up muppets. Staff Seargant Luka will be arming you. You listen to me, do not backtalk. If you feel I gave a bad order, then say so. Or I will kill you myself."

She took a moment. She blinked quickly. She felt lethargic, but was warming up quickly.

"I am no Major Xu or Captain Lebedewa. Does not mean I am Mary Poppins. Do your job, do it right. Or you are walking home."

Tori walked over to the wall comm. A few button presses later, and it was alive.

"Will Lieutenant Vitalievich report to the Stormfall now."

Tori looked back at the recruits. All seemed strong, but Miriko, the only girl, seemed a bit scared. Kinda like herself. Jenkins fidgeted with a small recorder, and Mendoza was griping about something. Green and Callahan sat quietly, waiting for orders. She glanced at Kasheyev, then went over and sent Mendoza to the ground with a right hook.

"Next recruit who acts like a little girl not getting a doll will be shot."

Tori leaned against the bulkhead to wait for Vitalievich. Xu probably woulda shot him dead right then. Well, she wasnt Xu.
