REPORT 005 :: SUPPORT // VOICE
[The Spartan breathes deeply before speaking. There is a lack of energy in her voice. Depressed, almost.]
This is Sierra TwentyThree. I wasn't drafted.
[There is a long pause as she lets it sink in.]
To all entering combat, please provide combat intel upon returning. These Shifters. I want to know how if there can be a way to identify them in the battlefield. What kind of powers can they disable. [Worried about losing her augs and MJOLNIR? A Spartan calls that a challenge.] At this point, precision weaponry seems to be the best choice against them.
The Third Party will be attacking a resource point. We'll need to keep resources stocked up. If the op fails.
[ENCRYPTED TO THE NAMED ONES // RESTRICTED // EYES ONLY]
Shirou. Rin. Major Jordan. Miss Rydia. Miss Nami. Captain Adell... Valvalis. [The last name is spoken with hesitance... for much more complex issues.]
If any of you need long-distance support, before or during operations, I am here.
[END OF ENCRYPTION]
Good luck, everyone.
Sierra TwentyThree, out.
[ENCRYPTED TO CPT. ADELL // CLASSIFIED // EYES ONLY]
Orders, Captain?
[ENCRYPTED TO VALVALIS // CLASSIFIED // EYES ONLY]

[SPARTAN-023 remains silent for a long time. Should her hearing be delicate, she would listen to separate breaths and shifting of armor. She wanted to talk. The last week remains on Daisy's mind. So much that grew to confuse her - sometimes making her feel even regret. But knowing Valvalis was going to leave...]
Be back.
[She feels all she can do is give the elemental her blessings.]

Hella encrypted!
I understand.
[Silence.]
It's been said it was just a Malnosso trick. Everything we felt. Nothing worth remembering.
Regardless, I behaved unprofessionally. I let my feelings take the better of me. That is not the behavior of a Spartan.
Hella encrypted!
Well... not necessarily. It's not just that... they create false feelings but... oftentimes they... amplify the ones we do have.
Do you believe that I wouldn't be so persistent with you if I didn't like you at all?
Hella encrypted!
That is what is making me think. I don't know much of them were false, and how may were amplified. I like you, Valvalis. You've treated me well. You've been my friend in this place.
But while what I... felt [Her romantic love.] towards you a week ago is gone, I still don't know if they were natural, or artificial
Hella encrypted!
[[Val was never one for profound feeling, but, something she learned in these last three years...]]
Your feelings are yours to decide. They're whatever you want them to be. If you want them to be real, then they are. I'll always be your friend, Daisy... and maybe a little more... *she giggles*
But if you decide they're real... and they grow... There's a chance I won't be able to return them, the way that you want me to. Because my feelings for you... they're... they're different. I've felt them before, but, it's not the same way I feel about Nel.
Hella encrypted!
It's better that way, ma'am.
[The laws against fraternization make sense to her once again.]
I won't lie. I'm worried. I wish I could fight by your side. But I've gotten too close.
Hella encrypted!
But I'm always going to be your friend. I'll always be here...
[[Val sounds a bit dejected at hearing they were "too close".]] Is like to see what you can do too. But both Nel and my father are going. I'll come back just fine. You'll see.
Hella encrypted!
[Despite what she said, SPARTAN-023 regrets what she had said. Even when she knew this was dangerous for the two of them.
She adds softly.]
Thank you for being my friend, Valvalis. And for everything I felt because of you.
Hella encrypted!
Hella encrypted!
Have fun. You'll have good friends on the field.
[Once again, Daisy wishes you luck.]
