Lan heard a grunt as she finished what she was saying and looked over towards one of the other soldiers on the field. But it wasn't just any 'other soldier', it was Logan, her XO whom she just insulted. Twice. Her cheeks turned bright red and she held her breath. She hoped he didn't hear him. That would have completely ruined the impression she felt she had made on her two commanders. Dammit, good going Lana, she scolded. Way to ruin yourself on the first day. Now that she had noticed him though, she felt like she had to say something to him, just in case he had seen her look over at him or heard what she said.

"Hello, Executive Logan," she called to him, saluting. He seemed to be admiring his excellent work in cutting up his dummies, and she immediately regretted interrupting him. Oh well, it's too late now. She didn't really know what to say to him, so she began to ask him questions and shower him with compliments. "You really butchered those dummies. I like the way you work. How do you feel about our team? And by the way, do you know who we're supposed to be rooming with? I never got the official room chart." Her sentences weren't connected at all, but she didn't care. She just tried to act casual about everything and kept smiling her slight smile.
