The room to Ryi's quarters opened. A tall women in a Marine pilot's outfit walked in. "Can I help You?" Ryi asked.

"Um, the quartermaster assigned my here." Hana nervously told Ryi. She tried to hand Ryi her PaDD.

"Oh, I believe you." Ryi refusing the PaDD. "I'm Warrant Officer Ryi Amlari, pleased to meet you."

"Staff Warrant Officer Hana Nakamura." Hana smiled back.

Ryi pointed to the bunk across from hers. "That one is yours Hana." Hana nodded and moved her bags to the other bunk. She bagan unpacking her things.

"How is this ship?" Hana asked Ryi while still working.

"Um, it's different." Ryi cryptically answered.

"Different? How? Do we have a good Captain? What is the Air Group Commander like? Is the Deck Boss efficient? Hana asked a flurry of questions.

Ryi thought for a moment. "Our Air Group Commander is off flight status and in house arrest for beating up another officer. She is suffering from PTSD. The Deck Boss, he is some kind of cute little wolf creature that doesn't wear clothes, has only about half the fighters operational but that's really not his fault. The were filled with hornets and some sort of rat." Ryi explained.

"How do hornets and rats get into star fighters?" Hana asked. Ryi responded only by shrugging. "What about the captain?" hana asked.

"Oh, she calls the Roanoke 'The ship of the damned.' Can't say as I blame her. She lost almost all her pilots and senior officers in her last mission."

Hana was frowning. "Tell me something good please." Hana asked.

"Our original Flight Leader, 2nd Lieutenant Houges, came down with Norwalk Virus." Ryi told her.

"How is that good?" Hana asked.

"He was a real jerk. Boomer took him off flight status so we'll get another flight leader." Ryi explained.

"Oh." Hana was at a lost for words. Hana had incredibly bad luck. Her nickname was 'Eight Ball'. Getting assigned to the Roanoke seemed to be life on par.

"It's not that bad." Ryi smiled at Hana. "Do you like milkshakes? Ryi asked.

Hana thought for a second. "Yes, why?"

"I just figured out the best replicator program for chocolate milkshakes. Want to have one with me?" Ryi asked.

"Sure, why not?" Hana answered.

Ryi went to the quarter's replicator. "Computer: one Ryi's special chocolate shake please." A milkshake appeared.

Hana laughed. "Maybe my luck is changing" she thought to herself as she went to the replicator. "Computer: one Ryi's special chocolate shake please." Hana requested.

The replicator made a high pitched whining sound. "Error! Error!" The computer sounded off. There was then a brown explosion. After the splatter settled Hana was covered in chocolate shake.
