It was clear that whatever she’d been through in the last couple of days (and Kari wasn’t going to pry, for the lieutenant’s business was her own) had helped her mood and her morale, taking her along way from the wet, sobbing mess she’d been in the shower. Regardless, the lieutenant was back to something closer to her more playful normal self, which was a welcome sign.<br/><br/>Kari took a seat, listening to the news. “Well, we’re going to be in a pretty crazy market, I know that much,” She started with. “As soon as any news gets out, there will be vultures descending on us faster then you can think, trying to scoop up anything they can get. We obviously don’t want that, so we need to hit the ground running on the recruitment. You, me, Emily… anyone else, really will need to be out there, pressing the flesh and trying to grab any potential recruits before anyone realizes just how screwed we are.”<br/><br/>She tilted her head a little at Allia. “So be your usual charming, witty, sexy self. Maybe show some cleavage if it helps win them over.” She added with a laugh.<br/><br/>Regaining her composure, she listened further to the lieutenant’s ideas for the new structure of the unit. “I like what you have there, and it’s along the same lines as I was thinking. Keep it small, focused and straightforward, and try to avoid growing too big. I figure we go for the combined command/fire/assault lance idea myself, concentrating the big guns and slow movers. Given your ‘Mech, I figure you’re going to be taking the Strike or Recon lances, just depending on the composition we end up with and what you’re more comfortable handling, of course.”<br/><br/>She tapped her chin a moment. “I also want some Battle Armour. Those Falcon Toads screwed us badly, and I don’t want that to happen again. Even if it’s just one platoon, then that will make a lot of difference. Plus the ship’s got room for them already”<br/>
