The morning light shined brightly through the window, the bright light shining directly on Drake's sleeping face. Opening his eyes slowly from the sun's rays, he sat up on the edge of his bed. Drake and his fellow Marines had been out to sea for about a week now, and all they have seen is Ocean, Ocean, and more Ocean. Hoping that they had docked at a port ahead of schedule Drake looked out the window curiously, to his disappointment he found the same picture he had been seeing for their entire trip. Standing up and stretching, Drake went over to his closet. Opening the closet, and putting on his usual formal clothes, Drake opened the door and walked out to see three officers already up and discussing something. Walking over to the officers, Drake gave a salute to the Rear Admiral Nicholas while yawning and covering his free hand with his mouth. Before looking to the two other officers, and giving them the same thing, a half salute-half yawn. "I'm here too." Drake continued, following up on what Hajime said.
