Room 317, Monday Evening
Aug. 7th, 2006 08:03 pmZ was busily taking down the newspaper articles she'd spent Saturday afternoon taping up on the walls of her side of the room when a light on her computer started flashing. "Incoming transmission," a cheerful female voice announced, and Z squeaked and grabbed for her SPD uniform jacket, throwing it on over her t-shirt and fastening it as fast as she could. Then she sat down, yanked off her hat and smoothed her hair, and hit the enter key on her keyboard.
Commander Cruger's face filled the screen, and Z had to fight down the urge to close the laptop. "Sir, I wasn't expecting a call," she said in as pleasant a voice as she could manage. "What's going on?"
"Cadet Delgado, it's been a while since you checked in. Obviously, you received your package."
"Yes, sir. I'm very grateful."
"D Squad will be going to Mirinoi for a week-long training session, and since you require remedial training to catch up to the rest of C Squad, I've decided to send you along."
Z's heart sank as she remembered something Bridge had mentioned. "Mirinoi? The planet with the acidic mud?"
"Yes. Be ready to leave Friday after your classes."
"Of course, sir," Z said. Then Cruger ended the transmission from his end.
Z sighed and put her head down on her desk. "Great. Just great." She wondered what would happen if she didn't show up. After a few minutes of feeling sorry for herself, she got up and went back to cleaning off her walls. No use worrying about stuff she couldn't change.
((OOC: Open for interaction. The door is closed, but knock and she'll answer.))
