Normally, it was barely big enough for the soldiers who shared a room, but since her only roommate had apparently been playing hide-and-seek for the past week, the amount of bare space inside was a bit unsettling.<i>May as well be living on a ghost ship,</i>she thought with a smirk.<br/><br/>With a hand on her hip, she contemplated her options - if they could be called that. Beyond off-duty clothing, there was very little variety in her wardrobe outside of the colour of her underwear, which didn’t matter anyway. She glanced with disdain at the three matching uniforms.
