Arcadia takes a seat in the briefing room, looking around at the equipment.  She's no expert, but it all looks expensive, and probably a little higher quality than what they had in Atlanta.  She tries to settle into a natural position, but somehow she can't get comfortable sitting in this room, either.  She wants to pace.  Deciding that would be too disruptive, she settles for trying not to fidget while listening to the accounts.<br/><br/>Arcadia does her best to pay attention, but this kind of debriefing is really not well-suited to her.  Even for field actions she was actually present for, Arcadia has difficulty with verbal descriptions; it's hard to build a tactical picture of a situation in all its complexity with just words, and it's even harder to try to interpret somebody else's version of the situation.  Especially when it comes to combat, Arcadia is a visual thinker.  That said, she's capturing the gist of what happened, though the picture isn't precise enough for her to really make any assessment beyond the superficial.<br/><br/>She is amused, however, to note the rookies' briefing style.  D-Synchro seems very concerned with providing an account of the motivations and intentions behind the various decisions in the field, both at an individual and squad level.  Mike, on the other hand, seems more preoccupied with the methods and mechanisms of individual actions taken, and relies on providing a sequence of events linked by physical actions.  She is impressed with the level of detail in his material description, but decides to reserve judgment until she knows that his figures are accurate and not just some nervous tic.<br/><br/>In any case, Backscatter would have taken the two to task if they'd gone on like this in Atlanta.  She tries not to smirk while imagining her former superior's responses.  Then again, her first own debriefing had gone much worse than either of these, and every commander has a different style, so she doesn't know what to expect from Severance.
