[[After having the Technica dredged up from rubble and forced into the ship, the pilot finally gets some "me" time to take in everything. He's actually pretty twitchy... adrenaline and excitement running through him. Firstly, he just wrecked shop out there, up until that fuckin smaller lizard caused some power outage in his machine.

Eventually, he gets the hatch opened and steps out, still uniformed. This isn't your ordinary Kamen Rider, boy!]]

[[After finding a chance to change, and time for a food, some kid is off and scampering about on the Technica that just got hauled in. He's just there, acting like he's been around the whole time. And what's MOOOORE, is that from there, he starts getting around and climbing over some of the other machines. No, he didn't ask, he's just there, on them, inspecting, reading paperwork available on them. It's pretty harmless, but he's CLIMBING on your machine!]]

Oh, I know. This chick Shirley broke it down earlier. I don't really care, but, yanno, it's kind of not expected. I mean, I turn around and suddenly, no pants.

Do you mod yours too,or is it stock?

Well... At least it's not as baffled as other reactions I've seen...

Um... Mine is a standard model manufactured by Supermarine. I don't know how to modify Strike Units. I'm afraid I could do something to it that makes it stop working.

Ahh... yeah, they look pretty easy to ruin if you don't know what you're doing. Your friend Shirley was showin me a few things about 'em.

Said the whole no-pants thing was normal to. Just hope it keeps ya out of trouble, kid.

I... It will, mister.

[Sad that only people from her unit are used to it...]

Shirley knows much more about machinery than I do. She is the fastest of the Witches aboard the White Chalice. She always looks for ways to make her machine faster.

I don't have much uses for modifying my unit, though, but if it was possible, I would like more stability to make my shots more accurate.

Stability huh? Well, I'll get the details on the parts from her, and I'll see what I can do for ya, kiddo.

[[Pat on the head.]]

[The patting makes her whimper a little. It's not a witch hazing, but Britannian manners include personal space.]

I'd be grateful for that, but please be careful with it, mister. Sometimes getting parts for the Strike Units is troublesome.

I am Sergeant Lynette Bishop, of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing.

Hey, don't worry. I'mma brush up on 'em before I start doing anything serious. 'Right?

Name's MarKus. No rank. Just MarKus is fine, Sergeant.

You're kinda young for that rank though. That normal too?

Of... Of course, MarKus. Just please speak it over with the Major Sakamoto, if she is okay with it. She is my superior officer.

Um... We're young, but it's normal because we use magic for combat, and since only young witches can wield magic, we're given the rank of Sergeants upon joining the Strike Witches.

I guess that's the right thing to do. I'll go talk to your boss then.

So... for you guys, Sergeant is like... starting rank? Man, Military stuff always throws me off.

The Major Sakamoto can seem scary sometimes, but she is really nice when you get to know her!

And... aicraftman, actually. Then goes Leading and Senior Aircraftmen, Junior Technician, Corporal, and then Sergeant. There are actually a lot of ranks for all kinds of branches, and all kinds of nations. Sometimes they're hard to remember.

I'll keep that in mind. I suppose I'll just be on my best behavior and shit.

Heh... yeah... Don't test me on that later. I'll probably fail.

It's alright, it's alright, Mr. MarKus. To be honest with you, I never really learned about ranks until I spent a longer time with the Witches.

The Major asks for discipline, but even she can be lax. Just... Um... be good with her.

[Really. She cannot prepare her for the Major Sakamoto.]
