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.

[greenlongjohns.livejournal.com]

Same alphabet we use in our military. [Good system, no surprise that it hasn't changed.] Unless you want to start receiving nicknames, giving up your name will be for the best. Not many here are given towards addressing others by rank or profession.

[daisy023]

Comes way back from the NATO, if I'm not mistaken.

...

[Sigh. Another person to give her name to. And she isn't fond of nicknames.]

My name is Daisy. Last name is classified.

[Voice]

[un-faized.livejournal.com]

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

[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?

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

You seem to be doing a good job so far.

[Voice]

[daisy023]

Even for a non-military place, it is.

[Why wouldn't she?]

Standard UNSC procedure for identification. It's mandatory.

[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.

[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...

[daisy023]

[Two Emiyas. For the sake of practicality, first name would be convenient this time.]

Affirmative. Shirou.

When can I leave it to you?

1/2

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

You don't have to leave it with me. Just come over whenever and Tohsaka will do it all in a jiffy. We could have some tea or something to eat in the meantime. So whenever is good for you.

And, umm...

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

...not to be rude but maybe you could learn how to talk like a normal person and not someone from the military.

[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.

[greenlongjohns.livejournal.com]

You're not.

[Neither is he, for the record. No one ever, ever gets to call him Johnny.]

Daisy. I like it.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[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]

USTA... The Captain Edge Maverick mentioned the organization. I'm afraid it does not exist in my world, as a branch of the UNSC nor as an Insurrectionist organization.

I would like to meet him. You are part of his crew, I assume?

[daisy023]

[WELL, she never called a friend of hers that, ever, but this guy may]

Don't overuse it. [Spoken playfully deadpan?] I don't give my name often.

...

Until now.

[daisy023]

Anything to repay you and your friend, Mr. Shirou.

[What the hell? Do you tell a fish not to swim, or a bird not to fly? Then again, there's the whole "indoctrination" thing, but still...]

Too many people have been demanding that.

[I don't think I have spent enough time as a civilian to do that.]

[swordboning.livejournal.com]

No, no, don't worry about repaying us.

And I'm not really demanding but you'll learn soon enough. I promise.

[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]

[un-faized.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I am an Eldarian. I had been sent by my superiors to retrieve Captain Maverick and his First Officer at the request of one of their own. Through a strange string of events, I ended up under Edge's command.
