Casualty Reports.
Sometime later, Duke is in his office wondering where his 2IC is, he gets on his phone. "Sentry station, has Flint left the base?" He asked.
"No sir, nobody passed since Gung-Ho and Tripwire came back with those supplies." The sentry answered.
"Okay, thanks anyway." Duke answered, he hangs up to "dial"* the monitoring room. "Breaker, Duke here, is Flint on any of your screens?" He asked.
"Yep, in the, um, girl's quarters sir." Breaker answered.
"What! With who!" Duke shouted.
"Uh; the new one, but they're not really doing anything right now. What's her moniker again?" Breaker replied, after making sure he isn't deaf.
"Lady-Jaye. I'll ring him up, and out. And pardon my volume just now." Duke says, before hanging up.
When the phone rings in the room, she answers it. "Hello?"
"Duke here, tell him to get to my office on the double, and that he's on report." He tells her.
"...Yes sir, commander." She said, and hung up.
"Who was it?" Flint asked.
"Duke. Says he wants you in his office, and he's got you on report." She tells him.
"He wants...Aw crap, it's been three hours already?" He says, looking at a clock, and jumped over the couch to the door.
8 minutes after he left for his warning about regulations, Cover-Girl walks in. "So, he's finally gone. How was your "us" time, Brow~nie?" The driver snickered, making Lady-Jaye blush at the remark.
"Tha-tha-that was him apologizing." She told her, holding her hands infront of her.
"Sure sounded like something else after that." Cover-Girl said, in a sing-song voice, making her go pale.
"He asked about the cap i just lost, then he; gave me a shoulder massa-" Lady-Jaye started to say, but got interrupted.
"Just that? Well, sounds like a keeper anyway. So how was it...Brownie?" Cover-Girl asks, as she propped herself up on the kitchen isle.
"...It was like i was the air around us...wait, what's this Brownie busi...ness?" Lady-Jaye said, then remembering.
"Heh, a little something from my modeling days; to memorize girls i worked with, but now for us three only. I'm-" Cover-Girl explained before they hear a third voice.
"Currently "peach", but used to be "mango". Has to do with hair color." Scarlett said.
"Not lemon?" Lady-Jaye asked.
"Nah, too obvious. Scarlett's "apple" by the way." Cover-Girl tells her.
"Why use a different food group for me then?" Lady-Jaye asked next.
"For one: it's for taking up my TV time, and two: you're only second gen." Cover-Girl replied.
"Tell you what; when we get a fourth, you can name her." Scarlett offered.
After the Rawhides graduated upon the return from Nepal, the three senior women walk up to them. "And now for your codename." Lady-Jaye says to Jinx, causing her, Falcon, the other four, Beachhead, and Sgt. Slaughter to stare at her, while Order tilts his head.
"Huh, but i already have one." Jinx tells her.
"Oh, this is different." Scarlett says, shooing off the men.
"As the newest member of the Joe-ette's, you are hereby codenamed: 海苔**" Lady-Jaye says to her.
"Let me explain." Cover-Girl said next as the four women huddle.
