faintly considering Paradisa (possible Halo: Glasslands spoilers)

[Captain Serin Osman has her arms crossed, leaning casually against some crate or desk or something in the odd nethersphere of headspace. Her expression is hard to place, but at the very least it's calculating.]

I see you've got two Spartan-IIIs and one Spartan-II to your credit, as well as a couple of those miscreant Freelancers.

So, what makes you think you can play a Spook?

[Serin nods.] We still need Spartans. Admiral Parangosky's greenlit a Spartan-IV program. Mjolnir project is up to Mark VII.

There'll probably always be a need for heavy weaponry like yourself. [She can't help a small note of trpidation in there. In a few years she'd most likely be heading ONI, once Parangosky stepped down, and she'd be heading a much larger portion of the stakes.]

[She's quiet for a moment.] Well enough. In one piece. Trying to deal with the truth of Halsey's actions. She hasn't read her case file, yet, although I believe she had one of the ODSTs check it out.

[Another Project. She assumes it will involve, again, children volunteers. The mention of a new version of the MJOLNIR, however, makes her feel hopeful -- and envyous.

The change in tone is not lost on Daisy, but she does not understand why. It's possibly the fact that humanity will still have a hard time after the Great War.]

It's going to be hard for her. [It was for Daisy when she learned the same.] Just be there for Naomi when she needs it... Same for the helljumpers. It's going to shake more than just her trust on that woman.

[More concern. That Naomi is pretty much going through the same is worrying to Daisy.]

[parangosky_jr]

[Osman can't say for sure, but at the very least they'd be volunteers.]

I will. I got my crew's back, no matter what.

Thank you, Serin.

[Not that she expects anything less. Either as a ranking officer or someone growing up with them.]

It's good to see you after so long.

[Spook or no spook.]
