[Daitetsu is in the sickbay, nursing a laser wound to his shoulder. He's toughing it out as best he can, but the nurses on duty refuse to bring him some alchohol, and they won't let him leave, either, despite his claims that he feels fine.]

[If anyone wants to visit the captain, feel free!]

[Tetsuya stops by the infirmary to visit Daitetsu.]

...How do you feel, Captain?

[haganeojiisan]

I've survived worse, XO. No need to worry about me.

You've been really stepping up lately, Tetsuya. I think you're more than qualified to move up...captain your own battleship.

[sobershipcapt]

Well...er...thank you, Captain. I'm glad you have that much faith in me.

I, er...can't say I'm as confident in my abilities as you are, though.

[haganeojiisan]

You needn't be so humble! You've been on the Hagane for so many years, and I've been fortunate enough to watch you mature into a real leader.

[Daitetsu pours a some of the bottle he got from Tasuku into a cup, and offers it.]

You've demonstrated courage, wisdom, and the ability to think fast under pressure. You just need to work on your self-confidence.

[sobershipcapt]

[Tetsuya stares at the cup apprehensively.]

Captain? Just how strong is that?

[haganeojiisan]

It's just a Health Drink, don't worry!

[sobershipcapt]

[Tetsuya tentatively takes a sip, then makes a face.]

That's...a very strange taste for an energy drink.

Haha, you fool, that's good old whiskey.

[haganeojiisan]

...Perhaps. So! A toast!
Here's to the GDF, and all its fine pilots, captains, and Executive Officers!
