Being spun around and brought back, Yuuyami sighed, but stayed put, instead of trying to give the shuttle a more matte paint style. Granted, she still thought it was a perfectly logical idea, as the bright, shiny paint job at the moment was far to glaring and target-worthy.

With the ship jumping into hyperspace, she immediately sat down quickly, before placing one hand on the floor of the hangar. When the power stabilized again, she sighed with relief, before lifting her hand again. "The vibration of the jump was the same as the last." Muttering soft words to herself, and most likely earning strange yet now routine looks from a few, she stood back up.

With the battle now over, and the Lincoln in warp, it seemed that it was time for the routine after action report. Where the squad leader pretends that the higher-ups cared about the details of the battle, and the higher-ups pretending they want to know the details. While the Captain might have cared, she was dead certain the Admiral would not.

All throughout the meeting of the after action report, Yuuyami stayed quiet, choosing to listen while Trapp listed off IDs of previous members, with final words included in. A somber atmosphere indeed, although her eyes did follow the dog tags.

With the topic of the 7th's behavior, along with the positive outlook their previous leader Tori had of them came up, she couldn't help but to smile slightly. She remembered the woman, and how she kept everyone together, through the thick and thin. She also did remember being rubbed on the head sometimes when Yuu didn't alter something she shouldn't have. Of course, as the topic deviated to the admiral, Yuuyami, unlike the rest, instead of displaying disgust, annoyance, or anger, she had a small smile instead. However, it was one filled with sadness, and surprisingly self-loathing, although the latter was harder to notice.

Even with the serious matters over, and the drinks would begin, she looked down at the cup in her hand, staring at the alcohol. Hearing Maki's and Gerard's opinion on the matter, she couldn't help but to softly add, "A weapon, a tool, that which brings harm, and without empathy. When such a tool is unneeded, it is casted aside..." However, at such a soft volume, it would be surprising if anyone actually heard her. Setting down the untouched drink, Yuuyami smiled. "I still have my report to fill out, so I'll hold off on the drink~" Cheerfully excusing herself out, she quickly left the meeting room.

The sound of keys being rapidly hit lightly echoed in the empty mess hall. It's not like anyone was there at the moment, so that was where Yuu found herself working. Taking a moment to rub her eyes with her hand, she reached beside her to grab the mug of instant coffee, frowning as it had already cooled down. Sighing, she quickly downed it, before setting it beside fourteen similar mugs, six of which were empty, the rest of the coffee was cold. 

Staring at the screen again, she compared multiple diagrams, which would seem like incomprehensible pictures for those without knowledge in what data a tester would be required to find and hand over to the producer. However, as her eyes drifted over the efficiency of the reactor's output, Yuu couldn't help but to think of other things regarding efficiency and resource usage.

"Materials, time. Valuable resources that must be taken into account. That, and personnel. More personnel, more sparsely spread out the workload, and more quickly are things processed." She whispered, before adding, "Even lives are nothing but resource..." with a heavy sigh. She like back at the screen, only to frown again as her view was rather blurry. Reaching out for another mug, Yuu gave herself a self-loathing smile.

Reason behind this was that she tried burying her problems with work the same way someone would drown their problems in alcohol. She had already submitted a report just last week, and she wasn't dues for another one for two more. She disliked being plagued by doubts, or anything related to problems regarding oneself. It prevented one from working at full capacity when required. Anytime outside of work was when she could relax her mind and follow her instincts, which is interrupted by doubts. Even down time and breaks had their uses.
