Ranna Krannok<br/>Dropship Redoubt/Harlech Starport<br/>0600 hrs March 6th<br/><br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/279b6e5f-ef0f-4fa9-9a7d-d288709a4aea_zps14cbe92e.jpg)<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>“Captain.” Cass began with a neat salute. “What do you have in store for us today?”</em><br/><br/>Ranna smiles, happy that the most interesting of the new blood is the first to grace the Hangardeck.  "Morning Cass. Returning the salute with a lazy disregard for the custom.  "First, no saluting.  Never did quite get the point behind it.  Otherwise, I'm gonna see if I can wring water from stone.  Throw the lot of you in a combat simulator and see if we can make something of this rabble.  Her response comes with a friendly smile, which quickly disappears as others begin to show up.<br/><br/><em>"Morning, Ma'am.  Good morning, Cass. Time to see how this pack trains?"</em><br/><br/><em>"Cap'n. Hard mode, or Nightmare?" </em><br/><br/><em>"Private Elizabeth Blackwell reporting." </em><br/><br/>Ranna looked at Ailis with a smirk, "Oh definitely Hard Mode to start off!!....Good to see most of you are here.  I trust everyone slept well, didn't stay up to late drinking.  She walked down the line to look over Elizabeth.  "Feeling better??  She asked with a smile before turning back to the group.  "You guys can lose the courtesies.  Saluting and standing at attention work in the academies and the regulars.  During training or official business, call me Captain, otherwise call me Ranna.  I know most of the new blood have very little if any combat time.  We're going to test that out today.  She looked down at the clipboard her training plan was clipped to.  "Ivan, you're missing a crucial piece to being a mechwarrior.  So today we're going to test you out on an Orion.  Nice mix of range and up close capability.  Sorry but we have to train with what we have in the inventory.  We should have a fairly even combat unit to run the simulation, but I'll brief the simulation when we get there and get set up.  Any questions so far?
