Lynette listened to the driver as he told her of the failure. She'd understand Lukas's anger if it had only remained that. He should have stopped the tank when the noises happened and reported it. But she sighed when he finished. "[b]Next time, do report this. This tank isn't like the standard tanks you are used to driving. Her engine isn't the standard, its custom. And the problem with custom engines is that they need to be tested over and over again. So when they make noises that don't sound right, it means just that. Something isn't right.[/b]" She took a step back. "[b]Remember that next time.[/b]"

Lynette turned to Lukas. "[b]First off. Are you calmed down?[/b]" She waited for his response.

[h2]Sergeant Celeste Stichler[/h2]

Celeste just blankly stared at a tree while the CO of the imperial squad was brought up to her. Lost in thought, worried about how many would die under her. Sure everyone in the squad was smart enough not to get themselves killed. Or at least she hoped no one was that dumb. She was concerned with her ability to command. Because if anyone died, it would be her fault. [i]I'm not cut for this. I'm just some idiot with bad luck.[/i] Celeste actually felt the desire to break down and cry. It didn't matter to her now. [i]Let them see me cry. Let them know I'm not cut for this. That I never wanted this.[/i]

But her worry, and self berating were cut short by the sounds of people approaching. Celeste quickly collected herself and turned to the Imp Sergeant. Who had said the first words, though his words didn't make her feel any better. And his gesture felt more of an insult than a compliment. Though she still took the sheath, with intents on sending it to Harald. "[b]I cannot accept the compliment, as I have only just stepped up into the commanding position.[/b]" She looked him in the eyes. "[b]I'm still only a Corporal, even though the rest of the squad wants to call me Sergeant. I haven't proven myself for anything, and have given orders a store manager could give with ease. But, I will make sure this does get to the Sergeant who did defeat you, along with the blade that belongs in it.[/b]"

But she decided to test something. To see if someone could see how unfit she was for this. Sure this Imp didn't know her outside of being an enemy. But it doesn't take personal knowledge on someone to see what she knew. "[b]You look seasoned. You have to have seen at least two dozen battles.[/b]" She took a step towards him. "[b]So I'd like to know your thoughts on me. Because your facial expressions changed when you saw me.[/b]" Celeste wanted some outside confirmation.
