The Simulator shut down. A new high score being achieved, but the occupant didn't care. Scores meant nothing. Only life, the lives of his team. William sat panting, his shirt soaked clean through with sweat. His hands still gripped the controls of the simulator tightly. His eyes seemingly staring intently at the black screen. With some effort, William was able to let go of the controls. "Wow, Lt. You set another base record!" The sim controller piped in. "Heh, Thanks." William stated as he raised the door to the Simulator. William felt like he was pouring himself out of the module and had to grab onto the side to steady himself. William had been in the simulator since 4 that morning. Constantly trying to improve. There was limited training one could do in the gundam since he and his team weren't going on "Walks".<br/><br/>William became vaguely aware of another person trotting up to him. It was Mike, the Lead Tech for the 432nd. "Hey, Boss! I just got word. Corporal Richter is up!" Mike stated excitedly. William instantly felt his weariness disappear as he grew excited as well. "Alright, Go find Izzy and tell her to meet me at the hospital." William stated as Mike nodded and began to trot off. William stretched one more time and groaned as the air conditioned Simulator room sent chills down his sweat soaked body. "I hate the feeling". He grumbled as he left. The Sim Controller prepping the Module for maintenance. Apparently William drove it so hard that the computer was registering system failures.<br/><br/>William was trotting across the compound towards the base hospital. One his way, he found someone wandering around the Compound. The bag over his shoulder told him he was a recent Transfer. William veered off his course to see if he could help. As he approached, he saw the Double Chevrons of a Corporal. "Afternoon, Corporal. You seem a little lost. Anything I can do to help?" William asked. Bring his hand up to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun. his thumb pressed against his Crescent Moon shaped scar by his eye.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Lucille was excited to have her two "Big Sisters" back. She was terribly worried when Jillian had to go alone with that other man. He gave her the creeps and though she knew she should feel bad for his death, she simply didn't. This particular day, Lucille ran to meet Jillian. Throwing her arms around his Big Sister's waist and burying her face in her Stomach. "Yay!" She squealed with delight, Emma trotting up behind her slightly out of breath. "Miss Washburn. How many times have I told you that running in the base is dangerous." The Nanny Scolded. Lucille gave a "Innocent" giggle and stuck out her tongue cutely. "I am sorry." She said.<br/><br/>Lucille took Jillian's hand and began to bounce excitedly. "lets go see Cat! Can We!?" She pleaded before dragging Jillian towards the base hospital. They would find Cat still in her room. The Guards there waving to Lucille, Jillian, and Emma as they approached. "Hey Sweetie, How are you doing today?" One of the guard asked as he knelt down and produced a Lollipop for Lucille. Her eyes lit up as she saw the treat. "Yay!" she squealed. "Lucille, Manners." Emma admonished. "Thank you very much." She said to the guard with a curtsy. The Guards chuckled before knocking and announcing that Catrina had Visitors.<br/><br/>Once the excitement of the visit calmed down some, Emma nudged Lucille. "Go on, tell them." She said softly. Lucille's normal super-happy attitude came crashing down. She bit her lower lip as she squirmed a bit in her seat. The lollipop forgotten. "We're leaving....." She said softly. The sadness was evident in her voice. Emma let out a caring sigh. "We'll be departing Earth and returning to Side 3 on the Zanzibar at the end of the week. We'll be leaving with all the wounded and those that can no longer Fight." Emma explained. Though there seemed to be a hint of sadness to her words as well. Lucille shot from her seat and clung to Jillian and then Catrina. "W-We'll still be Sisters, Right?" She asked, nearly pleading.
