Taki got up from her bunk. Yet another sleepless night in the military barracks. They always brought back those damned memories. It wasn't like she wanted to completely forget them, it was that she wished that they would leave her alone. Hawkeye poked her head in. "Brigadier General Grans wished to see you." 'Oh great,' Taki thought, 'just the man I needed to see.' "I'll be there in a moment." was her reply. It was because of him that she had those memories. The noise of imaginary gunshots pounded in her ears. Looking at herself in the mirror, it would have been hard for anyone to believe that she worked for the military. She had a uniform, but her body was not built for battles. Even Hawkeye's body was more suited to that. What her own body was built for, was speed and agility. She was nice and lean, almost fragile-looking. However, she could dodge enemy attacks much easier than Major Armstrong, and she could keep a steady pase longer thatn most of the other military personel. Once, she had challenged Armstrong to a long-distance race. Knowing that her speed was lesser that his, Armstrong had foolishly set out at a fast pace to get far ahead. The only problem was that the terrain was very rocky, so it was hard for him to get far ahead. Before he knew it, he was out of energy. Taki, on the other hand, had gone at a steady pace and used the rocks to gain small bursts of energy. She ended up beating Armstrong big-time.

Finally done dressing, she headed down to Gran's office. 'I wonder what he'll want this time?' she thought. H had been bugging her about her family's alchemic ability. Unfortunately for him, she wasn't allowed to tell. That didn't keep him from asking just to annoy her. Walking by the Furer's office, Taki got the dizziness that she always got when she went by him. She still wasn't sure what that was about, but it didn't bug her too much. No one else knew about it, since she hadn't told anyone. Finally, she arived at the dreaded door.

"You wanted to see me?" she asked. She may have been a Starte Alchemist, but Grans had a higher rank than her, so it was customary for someone of her rank to say "sir" after a sentence to him. She, however, did not do this; therefore showing her dislike to him. "You've got a mouth, for a 10-year-old." he said, without looking at her. He pushed a file towards her, then waved her away. Taking the file, Taki turned and left without a word.
