Setsuna looked around, fugitively.
Now if only she could figure out what...
Tsukino-Chiba Usagi, currently Captain of the HMS Silvermoon, was used to many things.
But dear Multiverse, why now?
"It's her."
"It's really her."
"Awww, she looks so cool in uniform..."
--Aawwwk.
The troop members, on the other hand, were quite obviously having the time of their lives.
"Do you think..."
"C'mon, just ask!"
"--You first."
"---No, you first."
Not the autographs, and not the holovids. Not now..!...
"--Now, now, everybody, that's no way to act when the Captain is trying to do her duty! Everybody back off, and no crowding. She'll no doubt have plenty of time for us afterwards..."
Thanks a lot, Troop Leader person.
Though it wasn't like she wasn't planning to deal with just these people next...
"Ahh...A word with you?"
The man nodded enthusiasticly, bright clothing flying all over the place.
"Never mind us too much, Captain. We were 'bout 3 months behind schedule in the first place--another couple of weeks, and our HQ would have sent out trackers. If they haven't, already..."
Usagi blinked.
"...Newbie trek?"
"--Not entirely, but close. I was supposed to be shepherding them, and--more excitment then we counted on, to be sure..."
"--Right."
Just what was the "emergency" that had ended up with a rustbucket like the Kagutsuchi on refugee ferry duty, anyhow? She'd have to check it out, properly, later...
"--Oh! And...Captain?"
"Yes, Troop Leader?"
"I'm sorry to be pushy, but--would it be possible to arrange for a standard H&P as soon as possible? As we said, we'd be behind schedule, and there were lots of untold accidents, including some frankly tramatic ones--Everybody's stressed beyond belief, even if they don't show it now..."
...Well, OK. Some of the troop members did look sort of maniac, chattering away like that, now that she thought about it...
"The Silvermoon has state-of-the-art Healing and Cleansing facilities, of course. There should be no problem."
--And now, what was that strangling sound right near?
...Ooopsie...
"...Huh? ...Here? ...Come on, this is the good part. --Don't worry, ignore sorepuss over there, or whatever it is..."
Setsuna shivered.
But what if she (it?) didn't ignore them?
