Col. Savage’s voice comes back.  You find it very neutral if commanding.  You find yourself sitting straighter in your seat as the voice comes through.“You are here to be more than a pilot and you know it 2nd Lt.  Lindsey is also a very valuable member of the team.  Hold a sec.”  You can hear Travis’ muffled voice filter through the helmet’s speakers but can’t quite make out the words.“The images stay.  You made a mistake, son.  No shame in that.  We train for a reason.  Apologize to Brandon and fix it.  He understands what it means to be a team.”  He pauses for a deep breath and then exhales, he almost sounds old.  “The room is open for your use between 0800 and 2000.  If you still have energy for some training.  The tech will help you or you set up a scenario or you can load up other people.  Go get showered.”“2nd Lt,  Come to the war room after your shower and you get cleaned up.  It’s 1505 now.  Be at the round table at 1540.  Dismissed.”  This last part is obviously directed towards you.As you step out of your VR chamber an Mexican man of about your height in combat fatigues and the customary crew cut wait to greet you.  As soon as you begin to step out of the chamber Sgt. Brano straightens to attention and salutes.  “Sir, Sgt. Eduardo Brano, Sir.”  After you salute he lowers his hand.  “I intend to file this in my official report, sir, but I wanted to tell you personally that your team could become amazing.  The Guardians will be very helpful against Frankenstein and his MK’s.”  Sgt. Brano swallows nervously “Also, when fighting against MK’s its best to find cover or shoot first.  A flaw in their programming almost always causes them to fire their grenades first.”  After his little speech Sgt. Brano stands at attention waiting for your dismissal.Tornado:Lt. Col. Savage looks up at you as you approach his seat outside of the ring of pods.  He is wearing a headset that he seemed to be talking into.  As you explain yourself to him a gentler but still strict expression creeps onto his face.“The images stay.  You made a mistake, son.  No shame in that.  We train for a reason.  Apologize to Brandon and fix it.  He understands what it means to be a team.”  He pauses for a deep breath and then exhales, he almost sounds old.  “The room is open for your use between 0800 and 2000.  If you still have energy for some training.  The tech will help you or you set up a scenario or you can load up other people.  Go get showered.”</blockquote>
