Dante goes with instructions to his room "Quite comfy"

"Genevieve! Outstanding performance during the drill. Please come stand up here with me and Chidori."

Aniele smiles at Genevieve, pleased.

"You and... Oh, his name skips my mind, the other mechanic did remarkable, and deserve commendation for your efforts. Sadly, the drill was still a failure, as our ship would have been destroyed by that point had that been a real enemy, but at least we know our weaknesses!"

Chidori then turned on her comm, and announced once more. "Attention crew, please assemble in the Mess Hall for an important meeting."

"Heh i should get going to the Mess hall" Dante is looking on map

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you." Gen took her place next to the two of them. "His name is Irvin," she added, smiling slightly.

"Ah yes, that's it. Thank you."

Aniele continues leaning on the podium, awaiting the rest of the crew.

Dante's map plots a course to the Mess Hall.

Dante aproach Mess hall

Jack let go of that gun and walked towards the mess hall, already catching on to what happened since you don't just get called to a mess hall while a fight is going on. It's not like he was ever in a fight that didn't involve fists though, boy never even got on a ship until today.

As he walked into the mess hall, it was a bit audible to some that he had said "Not my fault I'm not used to combat" before sitting himself down somewhere comfortable.

Chidori stood there, looking at the ground and rocking on her heels. You could tell by the look on her face that she was not pleased with something, perhaps disgusted even.

Throughout the drill I was listening to music, so I didn't know what was going on. But I did hear Chidori make the announcement about a meeting in the mess hall. So I take off my headphones, and walk to the mess hall.

(Sorry for the lack of responses/participation in the drill, I've been kinda busy lately.(

(It's cool. Aniele will still be disgruntled with Sarrien, but know that it's ok, really.)

"Well, it appears all but two of us have appeared. Acceptable, mainly because Irvin does not need chewed out and it's Tica's naptime."

Aniele straightens.

"As I'm sure all of you are aware, we just underwent a combat drill. And utterly failed. This is unacceptable! Sarrien! What were you doing?"

"Wait, there was a combat drill? Why didn't anyone tell me?" I practically yell.

Aniele appears slightly flustered, wondering how one could possibly not hear the numerous announcements made by Chidori, herself, and Joker.

"I was listening to music! Why didn't anyone send me a message on my datapad?"

"I assumed one would notice things like 'Hull Integrity' popping up and assume that meant something bad. Obviously I was wrong."

Genevieve fought the urge to speak up, inconspicuously covering her mouth with one hand. Let Aniele handle it, she repeated to herself. But... music? Of all things? She felt a small prick of pity for him -- being put under angry pressure was never a pleasant experience -- but at the same time, she didn't. Heck, he could get kicked from the ship for this. It was a drill. A simulated attack. How would he act if something actually were to happen? She nervously shifted her weight and crossed her arms, looking at the ground.

Chidori then cleared her throat, looking about the room with solemn half-lidded eyes.

Aniele assumes Chidori wants to speak, and offers her the podium.

"Alright..." Chidori stepped up to the podium, standing up straight and tall. "Now, I see the looks of regret and disappointment on your faces... But we must remember, from this... We must grow stronger, as individuals... As a team, or even some day, a family. What happened today, was a signal to us, a warning. It showed that we have a while yet before we may reach the high standards that the crews before us have set... But, as long as we take the steps to achieve this, we'll be sure to meet those standards in no time."
