Rachael closed her eyes as she blinked. She had yet to earn her callsign and she was being careful not to do anything stupid to earn herself a name like "Puke" or "Flameout."

At present since all the fighters were now one seaters and the Scorpions had been replaced with the new Devastator and Intruder class fighters, she had dove into her training head first in addition to extra time in the gym.

The results spoke for themselves whenever she was walking down a hallway or into the lounge, she knew she got attention from men and some women, she had learned right out and she was also a lot stronger now then she was even a year ago, in her case that was taking into account time when Rachael was on the planet.

The mission blinked. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." at her before displaying her score screen, she quickly read over it before downloading the stats to her file, before she reached with with her left hand to tap the 'release' toggle that was prominently displayed there, the canopy opened as Master Flight Officer Ellen Mitchel, callsign: Viking was standing before Rachael's canopy. "You done?" she asked Rachael bluntly.

"I am. yessir." Rachael responded.

"I keep having to remind you FNGs that the simulators are open... You seem to be the only one who takes it seriously."

Rachael found she had no answer for that as she climbed out, before she pushed off as she did a reverse back flip, landing just before Viking who backed up a couple of steps in surprise. "How did you do that?"

"I can do anything sir."

"Good. That attitude will serve you well... Hows your little one doing?"

Rachael smiled. "Saki and Sarah are well."

Viking was now truly mystified. "Wait... you're twenty two... with two children that are... older then the average that a normal twenty two year old has.."

"Yep." Rachael responded. "I was fourteen until a year ago, relatively speaking sir.." Rachael sighed. "Most of the details are classified but... Lets just say that a temporal anomaly is involved.."

"Oh Wait... that Star system that appeared out of nowhere several months back... That was your doing?"

"Well I was there for it. yes-sir."

"Wow... Thats impressive.." Viking commented. "So.. where you heading now?"

"The gym. I need to do chest, shoulders and traps today." Rachael explained. "I'm going to be switching from strength toning to mass at the end of the week.."

"So you took what I said seriously then?"

"I did. yes." Rachael responded.

"Well.. I know they are doing a naming party in a month or so. So.. I recommend you prepare for it."

"Yessir... I will."

"Very well. on your way.." Viking dismissed her.

Rachael turned and walked out of the room, on her way to the gym.
