That silence was one of the longest moment of her life, though Alex only arrived after the event that they were talking about she felt it was only normal to pay ones respects so she had remained silent throughout the whole ordeal. After she took a good look around at the others in Squad 4 her body could not but help give a shiver as she saw the Darcsens. It was much different here that much she could tell, or they were that desperate for soldiers that they brought the dark hairs along for the ride.

Alex gave an audible sigh at that fact, as either way she would have to work alongside them no matter what given she had joined up now. She went back to focusing on what her higher up was saying to everyone, but by this time the other new people to the squad started to speak up one by one to introduce themselves. Soon enough a clear pause came after the last person where she could do the same, so she stepped forward.

She spoke in a powerful tone of voice as she took a moment to look back around at all the others in the squad, basic eye contact was a big part of being a good solider and talking to one in turn, or so she was taught.
