A Girl was walking up to the door, wearing nothing but Pattern 37 with a P37 Holster and Belt, A Lanyard attaching the Service Revolver, She also wore a Black Beret, a cap badge with the RIR Cap Badge, the Pattern 37 Uniform It's self had a Crown on the Epaulette, Denoting that of a Major, She had Pinkish Red Hair as well and Knocked on the Door.
"Come in." Came a voice.
As the Door Opened, sitting down were three girls, from Left to Right was Orange Pekoe, Darjeeling and Assam, with a stern expression.
"Major Rosehip, Do you understand why you are here?" Darjeeling Said, drinking some tea.
"Nay, Commander." Rosehip said, with a Irish Accent, However a sense of irritation, perhaps they were to make fun of her again, ever since her little 'Joyride' and causing damage and crashing, Darjeeling had Demoted Rosehip from Tank Commander, but at the request and ideas from the Sensha-do Federation, to form a Infantry Battalion to test Infantry-supported Tank Warfare, Coincidentally, Rosehip was assigned as a "Major" to build up a Battalion.
"You see, if our Battalion is to be successful and to show the others that we're the best, we need Members for the Battalion, You have been tasked with forming the Battalion by looking for members, and I understand you put a request for staff officers, is that correct?" Darjeeling Spoke.
"Aye, Ma'am. That is Correct." Rosehip replied, standing at ease.
"Well, They've been accepted, if you head down you will find them waiting for you, Heard they already got a couple of members, Dismissed Major." Darjeeling finished, Rosehip Saluted and left, heading down to the Tank Garage, Students were working on tanks whilst to the side stood what looked to be like about 20-25 students in formation with 4-5 officers, Rosehip marched over.
"PARADE, PARADE-SHUN!" Shouted a Rukuriri, she was sporting Three Pips, denoting Captain, behind her were four Officers for the 4 Companies, Rosehip noticed them as her former Crusader Comrades, Lieutenants Cranberry, Vanilla, Peach and her old friend, Hiroko Kojishima.
As Rosehip stood at the front, Rukuriri marched up, and gave her a salute, with Rosehip returning it.
"The Battalion is formed and Ready for Inspection, Ma'am!" Rukuriri Shouted.
"Good, Accompany me." Rosehip replied, following both was another student, RSM, Madeline Quinlan, a Irish-born Student of St. Gloriana, related to Irish Commander and Jadotville Commander, Pat Quinlan.
As Rosehip inspected the line, she saw their standard equipment, mostly No.4 Enfield Rifles, Sten SMGs and Bren LMGs as well as some Thompsons, After inspecting them thoroughly, Rosehip returned back to the front.
"PARADE, STAND AT, EASE!" Quinlan Shouted
"Stand Easy." Quinlan Finished.
Rosehip stared at them before finally speaking.
"Ladies of the First Battalion, You have been either Chosen, signed up or joined for Fun, Adventure and testing out our equipment, Frankly we must focus on recruitment, Now we've either been chosen for past deeds, trouble or being a Nuisance, Epically since they (Darjeeling, Assam & Pekoe) believe they're High Class or the Fockin' Queen 'O England." Rosehip started off.
"But, we have each other, We have Family, Starting from now we will prove ourselves through a tough regimen, Wake up is at 0450, Wash and Dress by 0550 Hours, Followed by Breakfast from 05:50 to 06:30." Rosehip stopped to take a breath, before continuing.
"0630 to 0900 will be Drill and Formations, 09:10 to 11:10 Hours will be classroom, 11:10-12:00 Hours will be more Drill, 12:00-13:35 Is Lunch." Rosehip finished to take another breath before continuing.
"13:40 to 15:50 Hours will be Shooting Range and Firing Commands and Positions, 16:00-17:00 Camouflage and Escape & Evasion as well as how to Hold Out during interrogation, 17:00-18:30 is Dinner, afterwards do whatever, but be in bed by 23:00 Hours, that is all" Rosehip finally finished before nodding to Quinlan.
"PARADE, PARADE DIS-MISSED!" Quinlan Shouted.
"Well then Major how about we go and get a drink with the other commanders, eh?" Rukuriri Stated, Rosehip nodded and just sighed, before following Her, Cranberry, Vanilla, Peach, Hiroko and Madeline.
"At Least we can sit back and relax now, I'm sure the others will find friends and fellows to join." Vanilla stated.
"Aye, No Doubt about it." Quinlan stated.
All 7 By now had found the Local "Pub" on the carrier and entered, taking a seat at a corner table, before ordering different types of non-acholic drinks.
"Well, I don't suppose you know how to keep a Lady Company, hm." Rukuriri spoke to Rosehip, flustering the Speedster.
"I-I Actually do, I take offense." Rosehip replied, with everyone laughing.
"You know, I'm glad this is happening, I can build up my own Influence and Clique, Low and Middle Class welcome, heh wouldn't be suprised if we had 'Soviet' Committees." Rosehip smirked.
The others agreed, before Quinlan spoke.
"You know, when we face BC Freedom we're gonna have to pull off and hold, I mean you've seen how everything is there, more divided." she finished with "Than us."
"Yes, However little do they know we have a few tricks up our sleeves." Rosehip spoke.
"Hear Hear." was a collective voice, of disgruntled and Low/Middle-class Officers surrounding Rosehip.
"Well... Let's not Dwell on it, Afterall, we still need a way to get members, so Double the Recruitment, training starts tomorrow." Rosehip stated.
"That's all good, well I'm off chaps, later." Spoke Cranberry, before being followed by Vanilla, everyone else slowly left, leaving Rosehip with Rukuriri.
"How about we go watch some Anime in my room, hm." Rukuriri spoke, Suggestively.
"Sure, Why not." Rosehip replied, both left, but not before leaving a tip as a thank you for the "On the House" comment, both girls then left for Rukuriri's dorm to watch some anime and hang out, something between them started, but for now, they looked over as the breeze picked up.
"Well, we're almost there." Rukuriri Stated, before they both had arrived at the dorms, finding Rukuriri's room and entering, before Rukuriri walks over to turn on the telly, and finding a good anime to put on, one called 'Do it Yourself' which Rosehip said she wanted to watch, now both sat back on the bed and relaxed, watching DIY and enjoying life.
