Cmdr. Westmore, Lieutenant Tokoyama<br/><strong>Date:</strong>March 11, 2032 (Morning)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Roast in Space<br/><strong>With:</strong>Kira, Open<br/><hr/>Leon rose from his seat and put his hands on the counter, pushing himself up and leaning forward to look down behind the counter. "Don't mind me," he told Kira. "Just looking for leprechauns, what with you being Irish and all that."<br/><br/>He plopped down on his stool again with a wide grin, before he pulled a small bit off his croissant's end. "Mmm. Tasty," he remarked after he had thoroughly chewed. He was in the middle of tearing another piece off, when the doorbell behind him announced the arrival of yet another customer.<br/><br/>Leon instantly recognized the man in the jumpsuit of a flight officer and greeted him with a "Good morning, Lieutenant Tokoyama." At just a few centimeters shy of a full two meters in height, with broad shoulders that nearly filled the door, the Lieutenant was instantly recognizable. Leon knew that he flew one of the EW Wing's Cats Eye planes, too tall to fit into the seat of a Veritech as he was. And wasn't he...<br/><br/>"Good morning, Miss Kira," the Lieutenant greeted the cafe's owner, before he nodded at Leon. "Good morning, Commander." Akira Tokoyama moved up to the counter and placed his order for a large coffee, to go, with extra cream and extra sugar.<br/><br/>"Say, you are your wing's maintenance supervisor, right?" Leon picked up his paperwork and held it out to the giant by his side. "I could really do with a second opinion on this, and I bet you know this stuff better than I do."<br/><br/>Lieutenant Tokoyama took the report, and glance over the first tow paragraphs. "I wouldn't want to second-guess your mechanics, Commander."<br/><br/>Leon sighed, chewed down another piece of croissant, nodded. "I don't want you to. Okay... maybe I do. Half the time it's 'could not replicate problem', and when they can, they can't find the cause. I am about to order them to replace the whole darn radio system, but what if they are just dragging their feet? I can't ask them if they are honest with me, and I don't want to kick this up the maintenance hierarchy and get them in hot water. They might be honest with me, after all."<br/><br/>Tokoyama scratched the back of his head for a second. "Well, if you put it this way... I could look over it – if I find the time. I guess it is within my field of expertise."
