She celebrated the additional potato with a wide grin, just barely able to resist throwing her fists into the air and verbally cheering. It did serve to distract her for several seconds as she munched on the hot goodness, but afterwords she felt empty once more. Well, not her stomach that seemed to radiate warmth now, but whatever was left. At least the rest of the room seemed to be enjoying themselves, she mused silently. She even cracked a small smile at Melinko's joke, as it was probably something similar to what she would say.

"Pffff. Could not handle real women so you had to downgrade. I see how it is" Burias laughed at Melinko's remark. "Still, you guys be careful. It might just be civilian ran but I doubt that means its not protected either." he cautioned them, feeling like there is always some form of surprise for everyone around ever corner. He nodded towards Aberga as he spoke to him now. "Sure gorgira, if you think it is that important enough." he said as he turned on the comm unit in his mask to get a hold of Sasha and the Vorboten and asked them to come over into the warehouse. Would also give the new headtakers a chance to meet them too.

 

Aberga wanted to sigh at the two of them for calling him by the name of a ficitional monster but he kept it down for now. "Detroit seems to be home to forces that fight like guerillas. With that and an Urban environment, my armored vehicles are going to be of limited use other than just fire magnets. Unless we just start leveling the city. A group of Drachen detractors led by some demagogue named Talisman and then a Commander in the area that's picking up people to be footsloggers in his army. Thought that man has a son who doesn't believe in the same way as his father, wanting people to live their own way and not be cannon fodder. Could be a way in for us if we do this right, cut down on casualties on our end." He informed Cain, remaining standing up in his usual at attention posture. 

 

"We sort of knew about the Drachens up north, one of them was here at the battle trying to take me in before you and your company arrived." Burias told Aberga, remembering that and then Sasha. He still needs to talk to her when he could, but that might not be for awhile if things keep up the way they are.

 

The other commander was quiet for a moment, not sure if the pyromancer was ready for the bomb he was about to drop on the poor boy. "Burias, they're survivors of Blake hills." he said flatly but with some hesitation, uncertain how the person who committed what had happened there would react to the news.

 

Silent, and his face hidden behind his gasmask, it seemed like the boy went rigid at hearing those words. "....Oh." he whispered finally, feeling a massive lead weight in his stomach after just eating only soup.

everyone is quiet for a while, but as the heavy air starts becomign too tense, jessica puts the last potato into Aellas plate and caitlin slides her hand along her lovers back, the gentle reassurance of her hand dispelling the awkward silence as cain stands.

"THats a good thing..Most of them where forcibly seperated after blake hills from burias....Im suyre they would love to be reunited with their commander."

Melinko smirks as yuko stanmds, motioning for the headtakers to follow so they can begin preparations.

'But commander Ackermann is dead.' Burias wanted to say but kept it to himself. He wasn't their commander, he was just the next guy on the chain to step up after what had happened to Varsnik, he told them to leave too they weren't forcibly separated from him. But after seeing how Sasha and Cain reacted to him talking like that he just kept quiet over the fact for now, not knowing why they believed in thinking he had any sort of leadership skills. He stood up and went to meet Sasha and the other Vorboten, wanting to tell them what he heard and get the squad ready to move when it was time, not looking forward to seeing how they'll react now.

 

'That went just as I expected.' Aberga thought to himself before nodding to cain and the rest before leaving. He would check with Engineer Sillenum to see how the condition of their newly acquired rail tank was coming along. Hopefully at least travel worthy. And then to make sure they bleed the facility dry of any supplies before they headed out.

Aella could have hugged Jessica right then. Her love for potatoes was immense and she happily devoured the third spud, the moment perfected with Caitlyn beside her. As she moved to stand, taking Caitlyn's hand in hers and squeezing gently, she tried to catch Jessica's gaze and wink with a grin. She wasn't being flirtatious; she was grateful for the extra potatoes. 

 

Though... She would have to discuss the whole Father thing with her squad. Or perhaps she didn't. It wouldn't really change much save for the way she loathed the red stuff in her. Could probably be used as a taunt, she mused silently, chewing on her lip as she thought. 'Eh, I'll get over it,' she told herself. At least they would have something to work on rather than sitting around.

At this, cain claps his hands and seperates from everyone, the meal over as everyone gets ready to go.
