IZU-OSHIMA ISLAND, NAVAL PROVING RANGE
[A group of three extremely-attractive Flag Officers approach the Duty Officer office on the small island base. When the DO on duty, 2nd Lieutenant Irie Risa saw the svelte figures of her former senior officers, Rear Admiral Uemura Akari, Rear Admiral Miyamoto Karin and Commodore Inaba Manaka, she immediately sprang up from her seat, saluting them]
Risa: Welcome to Izu-Oshima, Admirals, Commodore!! Errmm..what brings you here, Ma'am? , [timidly] forgive me for asking...
RADM Uemura: Risa, its ok. Don't worry about it. [Akari used her name instead of addressing her by her rank, and was eyeing the Lieutenant she has previously trained closely for any signs of her panic attack returning at this moment]
Akari: Where is your Commanding Officer, Risa? Where is Captain Danbara?
Manaka: Are they still training? With the team
Risa: Ermm...yeaah...I think so.. they already started filming this training session on indoor range 4, Ma'am. I wish I could join them.
[As Akari, head of Special Warfare, offered a smiled in gratitude, Karin understandingly stroke the lower forearm of Risa empathetically. The head of Naval R&D have always been a calming source of comfort, having herself once being the sufferer of Risa's current affliction]
Karin: Don't worry...just take it easy..and don't think that far ahead...before you know it you will be back with them, Risa.
Akari: Well then, lets observe their training, shall we?!
A moment later....
Akari: Captain, we three have assessed your Team performance and of the opinion you are short of one more...
