"A few Ex-Order guys, they were from Secondary fleet, though. There might be a few others, but that'd require me asking Alexei to look through records from the Intake office." Nodoka says, as Alexei returns. He carries with him a uniform that was made for Mercury, in the same style as the other Ouroboros uniforms. He passes it to Nodoka, averting his eyes from Mercury's nude body. She collects them from him, and gives him a simple nod, before turning back to Mercury and passing the clothing to her, the set consisting of a simple white brassiere and panties, and teal skirt and ceremonial uniform top, with matching mary janes, as opposed to heels - out of concern that she would have difficulty staying stable on heels.
Mercury nods and begins to take the clothing by hand, piece by piece and starts to dress herself. Whilst she does, Bride chimes in. "Now that all this is in order, how do we explain to Auxesia that Cass has a body without squealing that Honya has this sort of tech in Ouroboros' control?"
"That could be problem wouldn't it... It'd be hard to keep it under wraps." Mark says rubbing his chin, only for Cass to interject "We say that IRG finally came through, it's simple enough. And it's not entirely untrue, in a sense at least. They are the reason why the data was in Honya and Bride."
As Mercury finalizes her adorning of her new clothes, Honya responds to Cass' statement. "Hai. That and unless they did an inspection, they would be none the wiser."
Mercury, finally dressed in the uniform, turns to Nodoka. "Awaiting rank and designation, Ma'am." She says, giving a brief salute to her. Nodoka is left with a slight smirk on her face as she is enamoured by Mercury's behavior. "Very well, Major-aspirant Mercury Graham, you're to be assigned to the OCS Abdicant Seraphine's Combat Information Center. You'll handle combat operations management there. Are you up for the task?"
Mercury nods. "Yes ma'am. I will do my best not to fail you."
"Very good. You're dismissed for breakfast. Afterwards you'll be submitted for assessment of your body and validity testing." Nodoka says, before Mercury nods to her again, and proceeds out of the room. "Which leaves the rest of us. I guess you all are probably hungry this morning."
"That sounds pretty good, since we got a reason to celebrate over there." Elena points over to Cass and Shinta. "Thanks for pulling through for us, it means a lot to me that she finally has her body.""Yeah I could do with some food. I doubt you'll argue right babe?" Mark says to Bride as he walks over to Elena and Cass.
Nodoka simply nods and places her hand on Elena's shoulder. "Not a problem, sweetie. I've been waiting for this day for quite a while." She says to her, gazing into Elena's eyes and toying gently with her black hair.
Jae-un turns to Mark and nods. "Yeah. I'm starving like mad, to tell you the truth. I'm gonna load up on breakfast burritos." she says, leaving Shinta to respond. "Why not Some Yakiniku with some cooked tamago?"
"Because I like my food big, Shinta." She says, as she takes Mark by the hand and leads him out of the room. Nodoka turns to the rest of the Harpies. "She's really persistant when it comes to food, I can say that much. Anywho, Honya?" Nodoka says, turning again to her partner and proceeding to follow her out of the room. Honya stops briefly at the door to turn to the technicians. "Excellent work today, Minna-san. Feel free to join us for lunch once you've cleaned up." The men, working on shutting off the machine and cleaning the floor, oblige with a simple thumbs up as they keep to their work. Honya turns back around to the door, and with Nodoka behind her, leads the way out of the room.
Cass puts the containers back together and stands up, following them. "I think I'm good on food at the moment, but I'm not going to let you have all the fun." Elena follows right behind her laughing. "Well I know that I'm going to enjoy myself, the food at Valravn is starting to get to me... I need good food ASAP."
"Very well then. Food on us - Hope those who haven't eaten are prepared for it. I know i'm probably going to put on a few pounds." Nodoka says as the door shuts behind the group remotely, heading towards the mess hall.
