Rhana watched the colonel go, wondering what sort of mind sent beasts to kill and die in such numbers as he had, as he did. It occurred to her that her father had been in a similar position for much of his life, albeit fighting against the Imperium rather than for it. The stoat didn't have...

"Wasteful lot, those navy sorts. Wonder if they ever found the beast that got lost in the lower decks." Rhana didn't have much to add to the disjointed conversation, to Aran or the white-furred fox she could just make out through the crowd. She wasn't afraid of some woodlander - at least not...

The passing out parade had been a somber event for Rhana. She barely remembered it. There hadn't been any friends or family of hers watching from the sidelines, no one to see her off as they embarked for the MSC. The trip by sea had been uneventful, even her awe for the sheer size of the Tarquin...

Rhana just shrugged, taking the ferret's praise and prods - even the question about her father - in equal, tired indifference - at least on the outside. Inwardly, perhaps betrayed by the slightest dip of her whiskers, she felt relieved to have found another beast she thought she could trust - or...

The stoat was taken aback by the ferret's words. For a moment there she stood, processing them. If it was some kind of trick, it was a good one. She took the burning cigarette in her paw without taking her eyes off him, but her expression softened, adrenaline-sharpened eyes losing some of their...

Rhana watched him go, silently considering her options. Her bunkmate and his friends hadn't stirred, either hadn't noticed or hadn't cared. Either way, she figured there was no point in waking or confronting Fisher. This was something she'd have to handle herself. Doing her best to hide her...

Rhana was tired enough that the firm army mattress and pillow may as well have been an angel's bed. She didn't hear Aginpole coming up, didn't wake until he had his paw firmly over her muzzle. She came about fast after that, though a moment's brief struggle halted as she saw the shape of a real...

Rhana wasn't too tired to miss the ferret's motions, nor the subtleties of his expression. For the most part, she just watched him, listening, a passive, polite smile against the veiled threats and dangerous posturing. To Fisher's last question, she appeared almost confused. "What, that we're...

Rhana bent to pick up the knife, eyeing it - and then Fisher - with more than a small hint of surprise. She hadn't thought personal weapons would be allowed, even one as small and dinky as the crabbing knife. Idly she wondered if using it wouldn't land her in more trouble than taking a beating...

By the end of the day Rhana was exhausted. The training and drilling an empty stomach pushed her to her limits, and she was happy enough to get through the day. Though they'd had a much better meal for dinner - and one without interruption, thank the fates - it didn't do much to put spring back...

Rhana was less thankful she’d eaten so little. Lunch had looked pretty good, all things considered. Free food always tasted better, and in this case she could’ve used the energy it gave her. The stoat had rejoined the ranks with little issue, even seeming to win the favor of another ferret, one...

Rhana was still breathing hard, trying to catch her breath. She tried her best to stand at attention for Sergeant Moltover and Corporal Colfax, satisfied enough to be out of the fight (victorious, even) without punishment. The stoat didn't grin or celebrate her triumph, though - any relish in...

Rhana watched the ferret fall, still trying to get up off of the floor herself, breathing hard. Her lungs hurt, and as she finally rose from the ground it was easy to tell she was dazed herself, though not to the degree of her opponent. When Aginpole threatened her again, she merely spat at him...

Rhana yelped with the successful grapple, trying unsuccessfully to break free on her own terms before being sent flying. She was silent midair, either from surprise or frustration, but hit the mural with an audible thump and a deep gasp, all the air instantly expelled from her lungs. She...

Rhana couldn't help but grin as she watched the ferret reel backwards. The moment of victory gave her the time to recover she needed, and the stoat managed to dodge his shoulder drive with new burst of energy. "Hear that, ferret? Extra duties for ya!" She didn't wait for a response, grabbing...
