<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f3/Max_Cosarina_-_Macross.jpeg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Lt Maxine "Max" Cosinara<br/><strong>Callsign:</strong>Phade<br/><strong>Date:</strong>11 March 2032<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Moon Base Aluce /Officers Quarters/Ready Room<br/><strong>With:</strong>Zilkin Kaverosky, T'chak, Kathryn Foss, Zephorus<br/><hr/><br/><br/>Zephorous was turning out to be a curious puzzle to understand.  While Max had dealt with Zentran and Meltran on a few occassions over the years, she'd rarely had to develop a personal connection with them, and most of the ones she'd met over the years had been better assimilated into human culture.  According to his personnel record, Zephorous hadn't been a micron for long so this was going to be a learning experience for both of them.  The smile on the man's face and the way he shifted his position told Max that he was trying his best to let her know he was trying to relax and not take anything she says personally.<br/><br/>"Don't worry about it."  Max replied as Zephorous tried to hide his embarrassment of not understanding her meaning.  She leaned forward, smacking the man on his knee with a large grin on her face.  "I'm sure my personality is going to seem very strange to you.  Perhaps that was the Commander's reason for putting us together.  I can be very...animated if I'm not careful."  The curiosity of her placement with the Zentran versus the younger animated lieutenant Foss was not lost on Max.  But she'd make the best of it, even if she had to get the young Zentran drunk to see the real person behind the facade.<br/><br/>His question regarding her time in the service caught her a little by surprise, but wasn't unexpected.  Max leaned back in her chair, sipping gently at her cup of coffee while she considered how to answer.  Knowing Zephorous background, she knew he had been in a lot longer than she had, but that didn't translate very well to their current job.  "I've been in about five years.  I got accepted to the academy early and graduated early, but I grew up around mecha and veritechs.  My parents were military, my dad did a lot of R&D on new systems we acquired from your people after the war."  Max's eyes glazed over with tears as thoughts of her father crossed her mind.  She realized she'd not thought about her father in months.  "My mother is a retired Admiral."<br/><br/>Max shifted position, hoping the change would shift her mind away from her father.  "So it doesn't say in your record, why did you transfer over to VF's?  You have a lot of time and skill as a Battle Pod pilot?"<br/><br/>
