Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Ahhmm... umm.... well tanasha said just call me officer... but well as we are restructuring the whole thing I'll stick to the old ranks so Lt. Coronel Griffin will do for now... I hope sweatdrop ... damm.. Ken has all the ranks on a post but that post went lost somewhere when the GG started to die.. ))

*Griffin was waiting on her desk, reading some papers when she hears the footsteps near her door, she guessed it will Mokono or Thrie, she picks up from her desk a pair of small boxes, one with Mokono's silver wings and the other with Thrie new rank (the twin bar for Captain) ((OCC:I believe Thrie earned this rank, besides, he is one of the older members, even older than me, so I guess we will need all of our experienced players as officers for the upcoming recruitment, I hope Im right, If Im not plz correct me Tanasha and I will edit as needed))

Without waiting for the knock on her door, she just said, with a soft almost melodic voice

Come in, it is ope...

Thrie hears one of his radio crackle to life as he drove down a highway. He growls as he shuffles through his piles of junk trying to find the right radio. His attention went back to his driving after nearly colliding into a heavy load truck. He sighs and pulls his SUV over to the side of the road and digs through his piles of crap. Finally, he found the radio in his glove box and replays the message that was saved onto it.

"I guess I've been gone for far too long. Back to duty again, I suppose." Thrie decides and stretches his refreshed body.

Thrie turns his car around and heads down the highway back toward the ASDF base. Since he wasnt expecting a recall from the base, he wasnt prepared for a quick drive back. Nontheless, he reached the ASDF despite how far out in the country he was.

He shows his old but still valid ID to the gate guard. After getting verification, Thrie drives through the gate and heads to the parking area where he leaves his car locked. Heading back to the familiar locker rooms, he stops infront of his locker. He pulls out his keychain and find the proper key. After finding it, he uses it to open his locker. The first thing he noticed was the foreign item in his locker. After a moment of inspection, he realized it was one of the pranks the other guys were attempting to play on him. Never touched his locker for so long, the prank item rotted in dusts and became unoperatable.

Thrie grabs his uniform and pats the dusts off of it. With a few good pat and the uniform free from dusts, it looked servicable for a little bit longer.

He changes into his uniform and walks his way down to the headquarter. Looks over at the desk to report his presense in the building. Adruptly, he noticed the security officer kind of grinning. Must be from something that happened earlier.

"Wipe that smile off your face. This is a military facility." Thrie said sharply before heading down the corridors to Griffin's office. He knocks on the door before entering.

He salutes and reports in "Ma'am, Flight Sergeant Burton reporting to Lt. Colonel Griffin as instructed, good morning ma'am."

He drops his salute and stands at ease.

Ashika opens the box and see the wings that were given to him. Realizing that this meant he was no longer a cadet, he thought of his responsibilities.

Mokono-Thank you ma'am. I will do my best to make you and the ASDF proud of me. *Salutes*

Thrie blinks in disbelieve and picks up the case that held his new rank. Was he dreaming?

"Crisis......" Thrie was only able to say.

He looks up at Griffin and smiles "Your not kidding are you?"

Looking back down at the two silver bar "This is the biggest promotional jump i ever made."

"Promotion acknowledged, Ma'am! .... Thank you Ma'am!!!" Thrie said sharply and snaps to attention to give Griffin another salute.

Then his worries got the best of him. "Does that mean I'll be grounded? That was one reason i do not like to be too high in rank. We get less chance to go to the front lines. Where i belong..."

Ashika saluted and smiled. "Orders recieved and noted. Preparing to celebrate." He said with a laugh and walked out. He saw the Security Officer just getting off duty and walked over to her. "Say, I just got promoted. Want to go to the club and celebrate?" She smiled and nodded. "What is your name?" She asked "Ashika Mokono, and what is yours?" Ashika responded "Sayoko Katsuragi. A pleasure to meet you." Sayoko said and they both walked out.

((Hope this isn't too much... sweatdrop ))
