"Hmm, really?" Lucy said raising an eyebrow, "Other companies, too?" It explained why even though the bell had rung the cafeteria was still nearly empty. She frowned for a moment in thought. The only thing all the cadets shared in common was breathing air and rations, so that had narrowed down her list.That meant it was either the food or whatever was in the air.

Staring down at her fries she momentarily questioned what was added to them. Vitamins, supplements, chemicals and suppressants, the list went on. Looking up as Jack said they shouldn't see their Commander a look of surprise crossed her face, "Shit, I was supposed to see him after my classes..." She muttered as she remembered his words. The routine and orderly person in her wanted to go immedietly but she was still trying to concentrate on the situation. She shrugged, "I'll bring it up with him anyways when I go see him after this," She said.

Lucy raised an eyebrow as Jack mentioned she was a girl, "And your point is?" She asked not quite getting his point. Features? She could feel her face turn red as he continued to explain. So it was lust? "Um, alright then," She said looking down at her food, still trying to wrap her head around the concept. Things like this weren't supposed to happen at Triton Academy were they? No, there was a suppressant for that in their food. And that was the moment the light bulb in Lucy's head went on.

It wasn't what they were putting in the food, it was what they weren't. "Withdrawal symptoms..." She said to herself. It all made sense. Coupled with what Jack had just said made it all add up. "They took the chemicals out of our food," She said looking at him with realization. Why would they do that though? "I'd better go see Commander Narita," She said getting up grabbing her data pad and putting her tray away before waving at him, "I'll tell you my findings later!" She called out as she took off in a quick stride.

As Lucy made her way to the Commanders office she couldn't help but think about what was happening around her. With the chemicals being out of the food now it meant she'd start feeling something soon, didn't it? She felt a bit of anxiousness creep up on her. She didn't know what it felt like to be attracted to someone. She hit puberty while at Triton so she didn't know what it meant to be a hormonal teenager. It seemed she'd know soon enough though. "I'm already mood swinging like one," She muttered to herself as she found Commander Naritas office.

Knocking on the offices door she opened it slowly, "You wanted to see me Commander?" She asked.
