Sparks are struck between unlikely allies

The Flagship. What a grubcluster that had been. Engrav sighed softly, thoroughly exhausted from going into space, fighting zombies, coming back down, and going back into space again and again. He'd never imagined that space would be so... claustrophobic.

Still, he'd made good time up there. Lots of that was due to the efforts of the blueblood that had selected him for several missions, Static. Engrav wasn't sure why. Maybe there was something in his profile that had made the yellowblood stand out? If so, he had to find out what it was and try harder to make it more subtle. Engrav hated being singled out. At least when he wasn't trying for it.

The blueblood wasn't particularly hard to find. Engrav knew who he reported to, and then he simply had to ask a few passing trolls to direct him to Static's quarters. Engrav caught the military troll just as he was heading out the door from his cabin, and called out ahead.

"Hey! Static. Been meaning to talk to you."

Static was ready to flop. It had been a night, or a day, it was hard to tell in space. The blueblood was pretty sure there was no such thing as day or night out there. Either way tho, he was a little exhausted, no matter how many hours of good sleep he had gotten. The blueblood had his uniform on, his ranking metal in place (something he shined far too often) and was "ready" to get a move on. The blueblood thought over what was probably next, who to get for a squad, and where they were going when his name was called out.

The blueblood turned around, and smiled faintly. "Hello Setlar. Good to see you again. How are you holding up?"

Engrav Setlar

"Er," the yellowblood said, caught a little bit off guard. He threw something like a salute to the military troll, although his metal arm pulled him a bit off balance. Then he sighed, relaxing just a little. "I just wanted to thank you. For, you know, watching my back up there." Engrav shuddered a little, remembering the tight quarters and crowds of milling daywalkers. He might not be fast, or all that strong, but he'd liked to think he could hold his own. It had taken the military operation to show him just how wrong he really was.

"I was wondering... What kind of training do you guys undergo? When you enlist? What is that like?"

Static nodded tiredly. "Thank you as well. Could not have gotten through that without you. Your a valuable teammate." The blueblood smiled. The thanks was nice tho, he was happy to have Engrav on his team. They had lived, so, seemed like a good mission to him!

Static thought for a second, trying to get his tired thinkpan cooking. "Well, when you enlist you enlist under a Lieutenant. The challenges at the YTMA are the basic skills you go through for training. And anyone can go there to practice and train. The YTMA is a resource for all trolls to use, since we are all here to serve the Empress." To be honest it was kinda just textbook answers there, but it was also true... He had gotten some briefing, some training, and that was about it. "Once you get higher in the ranks things speed up." Static scratched his head. "I guess ide say its organized..."
