REPORT 002 :: ROLL CALL // VIDEO

[daisy023]

[There is a blond, 6ft 9in tall woman in a white suit, serving as her temporary alternative to what should have been the UNSC's Navy Service Uniform. She looks at the book, then gathers her breath to begin to talk.]

This is Sierra Twenty-Three, transmitting on an open channel. Any and all UNSC Forces in the area, respond.

[A pause, then an annoyed sigh. She was too used to her world, but she had to try, anyway.]

For everyone to whom I have not presented myself to, I am Chief Petty Officer SPARTAN-023, United Nations Space Command, Office of Naval Intelligence Section Three, Naval Special Warfare.

I want to thank those that got me up to speed and assisted me during my introduction into this world. My world never had experience with spectral powers, so my hesitance to believe was... hindering.

[How can she explain the way she was without giving away too much?]

As my title and rank mentions, I belong to the armed forces of my world, so my return to a vaguely civilian life was unsettling in several ways, but I will do my best to adapt, and aid all whom I can.

Sierra Twenty-Three, out.

How have you settled in so far?

[daisy023]

Faster than I expected, Mr. Stewart. [She would have referred to him by rank, but he didn't give it.]

Save for unfortunate exceptions [Meaning the crazies.], everyone I've met has been supportive.

[greenlongjohns.livejournal.com]

[Just as well, he doesn't go by rank. That and he didn't stay in the Marines long enough to really have one.]

We have a mostly good group here, unfortunate exceptions aside.

So, should I start calling you Sierra?

[daisy023]

I see that. Both from inside and outside the barrier.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Sierra stands for "Spartan" in the UNSC phonetic alphabet. People here aren't used to refer to rank or tag. It might not be practical to avoid my name for long.

I wish you the best of luck. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

I've got only a few problems left; More clothes that would fit me, and perhaps a UNSC Navy Service Uniform.

But thank you, Mr...

[Voice]

[un-faized.livejournal.com]

Faize. And if you don't mind my saying, you speak as though you are of the USTA. My captain would likely be pleased to meet you.

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

The people here are pretty helpful, so it shouldn't be too hard to adapt.

[But what he's more curious about...]

Your title and rank. Do you really have to say that every time you introduce yourself?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Even for a non-military place, it is.

[Why wouldn't she?]

Standard UNSC procedure for identification. It's mandatory.

[Voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

It's a real mouthful to say! [Even the longest titles in his world weren't very long in comparison.] Don't you get tired of it?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

You seem to be doing a good job so far.

[daisy023]

I'm doing what I can. I've settled myself in an apartment, but there's still things I have to take care of.

...

Is the offer still standing, Mr. Emiya?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

Offer? Oh, you mean about fixing your helmet? Yeah, I spoke with Tohsaka and she agreed to help.

And, um...call me Shirou. Mr. Emiya is what you'd call my dad.

[That's the girl David helped out before... Litchi can't help but smile a bit.]

I know it can be a little overwhelming, getting used to things here, but... if there's anything I can do to help you settle in, please don't hesitate to ask.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

The concept of magic was the one that proved the most difficult.

I do not need assistance for the moment, but I will keep it in mind, Mrs...

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

Yes, I can see how it would be a shock if there wasn't really any magic where you came from.

[She gives a soft, almost sheepish laugh.] I'm just a "Miss", but my name is Litchi Faye-Ling. I'm one of Major David Jordan's housemates.

[[Some filtering, since she never gave her real name]]

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

You're still being so formal Daisy~

Please, everybody's so friendly here. There's nothing to worry about.

[[She copies the filtering. But then again, she openly mentioned it in the conversations.]]

[daisy023]

It's part of me, Ms. Valvalis. Even with friendlies, it's better to behave professionaly.

Re: [[She copies the filtering. But then again, she openly mentioned it in the conversations.]]

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Oh what shall we do with you Daisy~

It's alright. As long as you know that you can be as relaxed as you like. At least around me~

Oh! When will you be available for training again~? [[That is, she'll be canceling lessons soon.]]

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Good to hear from you again, Petty Officer. Glad to see you're settling in well.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Thank you, Major. Same could be said about you.

But my adaptation is not wholly complete.

[Subtly referring to a lot of the non-humans. Even the overly friendly ones.]

[Voice]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

...It takes a lot of time to get used to everything here. It took me several weeks to really accept the idea of magic being real.

[Voice]

[the-earths-edge.livejournal.com]

Settling in is kind of driving me nuts. I'm stir crazy already. How are you doing?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Decent enough, Captain. But field deployment would do me good.

[In many ways, she agrees.]

[Voice]

[the-earths-edge.livejournal.com]

Yeah. From what I can glean from the guide given to us, that may not be entirely unlikely. Trouble seems to crop up from time to time. I figure it's only a matter of time before that happens.

[He pauses, thinking.]

Have you seen the Battle Dome? I've been thinking about going to spar or something. At least some way to while away the hours, yeah?
