You grin a little when you see their names grouped together with yours. It feels good to have some familiar faces on the team, and you're glad to have them with you on this service tour, if at least just for the familiarity. Granted, ever since the big training exercise, the two of them hit it off so well together that they started dating not long after that. While it was a little awkward at the beginning (and still is right now, given how affectionate they can be at times), they're quite happy together and rarely seen apart from one another.

As you set your phone aside, there's a knock at the door, and you turn around to see who it is. "Yo." Morgan is standing at your door, giving you a rather bored look. Oh, right…you forgot that Morgan was also posted on the same company as you. You sigh and ask her what it is that she's looking for. "Nothing. Just wanted to grab something before the morning briefing," she says as she heads over to her bunk and rummages through it.

After a minute, she picks something out before stuffing it into her pocket. "So, who's on your team for this morning?" she asks casually, and you let her know. "Sounds like a good team. Say…we haven't really worked together before, have we?" she says, and you nod your head, glad for little miracles. "Oh, well…would be really interesting to see us paired up together, wouldn't it?" she says before walking out, leaving you alone in the room and wondering what that was all about.

Ten minutes later, you're in the briefing room, waiting for the briefing to start.
