<em>In his sleep Drake stood in space staring into the stars and the next thing he knew he was spiraling downwards into the darkness. Next thing he knows he’s staring at himself as a young boy. He recognized the figure standing in front of the younger self as Kyle who was only a bit older than himself and at the same age as his older sister Roxy. He realized he was standing at the Earth Alliance military academy. He watched as he and Kyle quickly became friends and then Roxy joined in on their fun. The 3 were great pilots and great friends. The three would eat, study, train, and just hang out together having fun or suffering punishments for their antics. The years passed by Drakes eyes until suddenly it was the fateful day he took the command course and was forced to spend less time with his two partners in crime.

Drake found her kind and somewhat easy to startle nature to be an amusing contrast to Shannon. “Commander Drake your unit is to launch at 0900 tomorrow morning understood?” Drake smiled “of course Eirin and we’ll begin pursuit of the Arteron fleet no worries there.”<br/>
