It was usually a bad thing to do, especially in XCOM where casualties were a given. The sight of so many eager fresh faced recruits brought a smile to the man’s face, though it was a false one. Deep down all her felt was shame at having to force so many young girls into a war that was likely to be as bad as    the previous alien war, where he himself had fought the alien invaders.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFdwgtW91-k) On his very first mission he had encountered the alien equivelant to Special Forces, known as Mutons. They killed his CO and almost killed him as well, to this day he doesn't remember how he managed to survive other than just stabbing the alien over and over as hard and as fast as he could. He still carried the physical and emotional scars of that conflict with him. When he had been told he would be admiral of the small Aquanaut force on Sand island he thought it would be a dream come true, until the war started up again.<br/><br/>Once the last of the new arrivals were in place The Admiral cleared his throat. "Welcome everyone. I'm sure you will all make your home nations very proud in the coming days." the man said, looking at each of the girls and making eye contact, getting a general gauge of their emotions and finding himself alittle curious at Howe, who almost seemed to be the most professional of the girls there. (even more so than Levi) As well as being at home with how well she saluted him, as if she had done it a thousand times already.<br/><br/>"I am Admiral Kasey I will be the XCOM officer in charge of this mission. As of now you are all agents of XCOM and as thus will be expected to act in this manner. I Have taken the liberty of having  several booklets and documents (http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) with XCOM info that you might need in your rooms, written in your native languages. For now I must return to my duties but Levi here." The admiral said as he waved a hand in the Artificial Ship Girl's direction, forcing her to smile uncomfortably.<br/><br/>"Will show you to your quarters, you may direct any and all questions to her as she will be working with you closely from now on. So I bid you all a good day and welcome to XCOM." The Admiral finished up with a clean and crisp salute before turning and beginning his march away from the newly arrived ship girls, thinking to himself that he was far too old for this shit.<br/><br/>__________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://th08.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/203/7/5/radical_gilda_sketch_by_ereb_tauramandil-d6ekbu0.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>LEVI<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Sand Island<br/><strong>tagging:</strong>Open,<br/><strong>Doing:</strong>hating Admiral Kasey.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>"Alright enough games girls, its time for business. Follow me to your rooms and don't lag behind, I don't have all day to spend with you, I have a big training schedule for myself." She said, remembering that she had to catch up on practicing her guitar moves that day as well as some more suit practice later on. When the new bloods had all gotten their things she turned around and began leading them to one of the buildings that seemed to be the most armored, with Cydonium metal all over it. Cydonium being he strange alien metal that Xcom had managed to learn to manufacture but was only able to do so in small quantities and was rather expensive.<br/><br/>"As you can guess, the metal building is ours, the windows are all bullet proof but that doesn't make them laser proof. The walls and ceiling are made of Cydonium so its armored against artillery and plasma bombs so we wont all die in our sleep." She said, hoping to scare the little girls into trembling in their boots. For about another half hour it continued like this as Levi showed the girls all around their new home, starting with the kitchen where some robots were actually handling the cooking, the rec room where two off duty guards were playing pool and one other one was watching TV.
