- Chapter 1: The New Soldier -
"Yzak, do you know a transferred soldier by the name of Shiho Hahnenfuss, is arriving any time now?" Dearka asked his comrade of the same rank, who was sitting in front of him, looking through at some reports. "I know that, Dearka. Do you think I will forget?" Yzak snapped as his striking blue eyes focus on Dearka. "Chill out pal… I was just checking, no need to snap at me like that. You might scare off the new lady who is coming in later to introduce." Dearka stated as he reminded Yzak to keep his cool before he frightens the new soldier, who was a lady.
Just then, the doorbell rung and later a voice sounded from the intercom. "This is Shiho Hahnenfuss from Commander John Davis squad, requesting for permission to enter."
"Speak of the angel. She's here." Dearka said with a wide smile plastered on his face. "How sure are you that she is an angel or going to be one? When we don't even know her." Yzak said eyeing his friend suspiciously. "I don't know. I just have a very good feeling about her joining us. Besides, she looks cute and sweet, according to the photo of her on her database." Dearka added as he headed towards the intercom located beside the sliding door. "I might consider reporting what you have just said to your girlfriend, Miriallia. She will most likely fry or barbecue you." Yzak mentioned as it was his turn to plaster a wide, triumphant smile on his face.
"Whatever the case is. I'm letting her in." Dearka said as he pressed one of the buttons of the intercom and spoke. "You may come in."
The door slide opened and a young lady dressed in the ZAFT red elite uniform with bright violet eyes and copper brown hair tied into a loose ponytail, walked in. As she walked up to her two superiors, she stopped and saluted to them as a form of respect to them.
Dearka and Yzak saluted back at her. From the way she walked in and the way she saluted to the both of them. Dearka knew that the newcomer was a well discipline soldier. That's when he noticed Yzak walking in circles looking at Shiho from head to toe, more in the way of inspecting her.
"According to the report from your previous commander, it seems that you are talented in the battlefield. In short, you seem to be a combat specialist. In any kind of situation and whatever weapons you are given, you are capable of bringing down your enemy within a very short time. Am I right, Lt. Hahnenfuss?" Yzak questioned looking out for any reaction from her.
"You are right, sir. However, I can't say that I am capable of bringing down my enemies within a short period of time using any weapon given at any situation. It all depends on the circumstances and the situation of the battle." Shiho answered firmly.
"Fine. Then let me ask you a question, on a personal view." Yzak said, still eyeing on her. "Why are you wearing the guys' version of red elite uniform?"
"Pardon me, sir." Shiho replied. "I wore it because I believe that when one meets a new superior, its best to wear a uniform that is of originality."
"I see. So will you be changing into the women version of red elite uniform after this session?" Yzak asked. "I will, sir. That version is my usual uniform." Shiho replied. "Very well then. Dearka, you can take over from here." Yzak said as he heads back to his seat.
"Right. I am Dearka Elsman. I'm next in command after Yzak, who is the commander of this warship as you can see. You can call me by my name after your duty schedule, as that goes for everyone else in the ship. Any queries, you can find out from the crew members, even Yzak or me. Any questions?" Dearka asked as he gave her a friendly look.
"No, sir. Thank you for introducing yourself to me." Shiho said as she smiles at Dearka. "Okay, if there is no question I will be introducing to you your roommate, Tracy." Dearka announced. "Tracy, you may come in now."
Just then, a petite young woman in the typical green ZAFT uniform came in as the door slide open once again. "Hi there, I am Tracy Lang. Nice to meet you." She said politely as she extends out her hand to have a handshake with Shiho. Shiho's shook her hands and smile pleasantly, her eyes grew wide in astonishment as she noticed her roommate's fine features.
Shiho's POV
'Her eyes are rose pink, her hair is copper red and she is so fair. Oh my, her features are so fine. Besides, she is polite and seems to be a friendly person. I am just so lucky to have her as my roommate. ' End of POV
"The pleasures are all mine, Miss Lang." Shiho said. "You are too welcome, Miss Hahnenfuss. Just call me Tracy will do." Tracy said as she let out a soft laughter. "You can call me Shiho, I am not the kind of person who loves to be treated with formalities, to be honest." Shiho said as she sounded much more relaxed.
"It's a relief that the two of you can get along well. Two of you can proceed to your room. And Shiho, Tracy will brief you on your duty schedule, your job on the ship, the details of the ship and then the crew members of the ship." Dearka stated. "I got it, sir," Shiho said. "If there isn't any thing else, may Tracy and I retreat to our room, Commander Joule? Commander Elsman?" Shiho asked. "You may proceed, Lt. Hahnenfuss. I will see you in the bridge on your first duty schedule, 1500 hours according to the time in PLANTS." Yzak stated with no expression on his face. "I got your words, sir." Shiho replied. "By the way, could I call you Lt. Shiho? Since your last name is a little long." Yzak asked, as a tint of sudden embarrassment surfaced on his flawless face. (Note: Yzak has already removed the scar on his face. That's why his face is flawless.) "I am fine with that, sir. Many others find my last name a little long and hard to pronounce too. So you are not the only one, sir." Shiho said as she saluted to Dearka and Yzak as she and Tracy made their way out of the room.
"So, how do you find her, Yzak?" Dearka asked as the door closed behind Shiho and Tracy. "I don't know. I just find her mysterious and interesting at the same time. Why do you ask?" Yzak questioned Dearka at his sudden question. "Nothing, I find the two of you quite compatible for each other…" Just then Yzak cut off Dearka. "Don't you dare try to match make me with her, Dearka. I am NOT interested in her. And I DON'T want to get my hands tied up in a relationship, so DON'T match make me with Shiho or any other girls. Let me WARN you First!" Yzak warned Dearka. Dearka could sense his friend's rising anger, so he piped down and let the issue rest for the moment.
