Entering the Mess Hall reminded Lucy faintly of the cafeteria at the school she had went to back on earth before she was shipped off to Triton Academy. The sounds and oddball food smells were the same, it seemed like the only difference was instead of the usual groups of cliques and friends, it was companies banded together.

Watching as Patrick headed off to stake out a table she couldn't help but wonder if it should've been her or one of the other ACATS to go. He may have been above average in build for a Plebe but he was still lower on the seniority list so she couldn't help but have a bit of a sibling like concern for him and the table he had gone to secure.

As Lucy grabbed a plastic tray, tucking her Data Pad under her arm, and stepped in line grabbing herself what seemed to be eggs and toast she couldn't help but think it was almost like everyone in the Echo Company was like a part of family, a pretty nonconventional family, but a family nonetheless. Adding a cup of coffee to the tray she decided not to put any cream or sugar to it, she had already learned doing that would just be an inevitable attempt to disguise the mud. At least it came with a caffeine boost.

Hearing a crash as she began to make her way, tray in hand, she looked over to see a group of Deltas in a heap of what used to be a metal table. Wait, wasn't that the direction that Patrick had been heading in? Putting two and two together Lucy smirked as she saw Patrick sitting at a table with Desmond and Jack, "Good job Cadet," She said patting him on the back as she took herself a seat at the table, setting her tray down and putting her Data Pad off to the side. Looking over at Jack and Desmond she gave a small wave, "morning you two," she said taking a sip of the bitter coffee. Hallelujah caffeine.
