Having free time again had remained a novel concept for a little while - not worrying about the next mission, or if they were all going to die tomorrow, or any of those things. But after a few days, the old worries started to seep back in. The old guilt. So it was throw herself into work, or into drinking, and there wasn't quite enough privacy to

The simulation caught Zouichi's eye first; he'd been in here not too long ago himself, analyzing data from the last battle with the Ohm. He didn't think he'd ever seen the woman taking notes from it, though.

"Hello. Doing some data analysis?"

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi glanced up, and the simulation paused, one ship frozen mid-blast.

"Hm? Yes - I had some time so I thought... well, why not." Easier to do it now than in the heat of battle - even if plans usually had to be shifted on the fly.

[zouichi]

He nodded. "Are you part of Starfighter Command? The last battle was pretty intense."

But they'd all come back safe, more or less.

She gave him an amused smile. "Not yet - not officially, anyway. But this sort of stuff is what I did before." No use trying to get around that - wasn't like she was good at much else.

"Got a military background?" Cagalli asked, checking out the simulation that the woman was running. She'd seen this person pop pretty recently, but hadn't actually met her yet. Hopefully whatever military skills she had could come in handy.

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi looked up from her notes, and gave the androgynous young woman who'd spoken a smile - though it was a touch brittle at the edges. "Yes, I do."

[allnaturalseed]

Don't you say a thing about that curse you.

She could read the smile well enough not to delve too deep, extending a hand to the woman. "I'm Cagalli Yula Atha. I've got a bit of my own."

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi took the offered hand, and shook it. "Sumeragi Lee Noriega. A lot of people do on this ship, it seems." Which... made sense, if one was out to fight a war. Gather conscripts that didn't need training.

Punchy had been looking for a Sensorium to play some basketball in, although he's learned by now that stumbling into other people's simulations is actually a pretty good way to practice superheroics.

He's not expecting the simulation to be in miniature, though.

"Hey, shawty, what's with the tinies wasting each other over here?"

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi raised a skeptical eyebrow at the newcomer, and then turned back to her notes.

"I can see the entire battlefield, this way."

[masterofnun]

"Ah." Nope, Punchy still doesn't get it. "So, um. This some kind of epic curb-stomp you examining, or something?"

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi made a few more notes, and answered without looking back up. "Something like that. This is the last space battle the ship had with the Ohm."

[pinkbridgebunny]

"Miss Sumeragi," came a familiar voice from the entrance. It was Feldt. She hadn't had a chance to really talk to her since she arrived. Now was a good time and she can give her more information on what the battle was really like from being in it.

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi glanced up from the simulation and gave the pink-haired girl a quick, friendly smile. "Hey."

[pinkbridgebunny]

"The last battle with the Ohm?" she asked, motioning towards the simulation.

[tipsystrategist]

Sumeragi nodded. "Someone sent me the file, so I've been analyzing it for future battles."
