Several months passed, holding nothing but silence for the War Queens. Altilia was becoming agitated. “How do they expect us to prove our worth if they never send us out!?”
“Relax, Colonel. They're probably just concerned about my performances on the test fields. Once the General has reviewed your last report, I'm sure he'll have an assignment for us.” Demitri smiled at Altilia, making her blush. It wasn't just how calm and relaxed he always was. The 'rumor' that the Rozza twins loved to throw up from time to time was far from a rumor, and it embarrassed her a little that she would so easily give into carnal desires. Colonel Dressnad was calculated, calm, focused, and cold. Yet within less than a month's time as his commanding officer, she had taken to sleeping with Lieutenant Shade. It was supposed to be their secret, but the Rozzas found out. “So, what's our agenda today, Altilia?”
“We have leave today, Demitri. The base is under a lockdown, so I'm afraid we can't leave.”
“That's okay.” Demitri smiled, winking at her this time. “I'm sure you have other plans already made.”
“Indeed I do, Lieutenant.” Altilia smiled herself, sliding against him.
Elsewhere, while Demitri and Altilia were enternaining each other, the Rozza twins were terrorizing the rest of the base. Sakura and Nissiel Rozza, also known as the bloody roses, were not known for their lengthy attention spans, and usually ran through the obstacle course in their zoids.
Sakura, the older of the two by .74 seconds, piloted Assault Crusher, a Rev Raptor outfitted with two large beam cannons in place of its Counter Scythes. The right cannon was a heavy buster cannon, while the left was a far more precise sniper rifle. The Crusher was painted in an odd color scheme, with orange and metallic blue replacing the maroon and black of the default Rev Raptor. Nissiel operates Tiger Rump, a Cannon Spider stolen from a battlefield and given a brand new artillery cannon in place of its default cannon. It had a black and orange color scheme, made to resemble the native spider species common in the Rozza's home village. Between them, the Rozza's have less compassion than a deranged pidgeon. Before joining the Imperial forces, the Rozza twins acted as bandits, robbing any and all caravans they could find. They didn't steal much, as they couldn't carry a great deal with their small zoids. Instead, they opted to take only any money and jewelry their prey may have, and blow up everything else. Their loyalty was considered difficult to earn, despite the fact that no one actually ever tried.
One day, the twins had come into a town and bought drinks at the bar. Most of the other customers took the opportunity to run, with the exception of Altilia, whom remained to commend the sisters on their strength. It was rare that anyone complimented the Rozza twins, so they were quite surprised. As a form of repaying her kind words, the Rozzas challenged her to a drinking contest. They were having a ball, taking turns swiging tequila shots two on one against her, until Altilia grabbed the bottle in fustration and downed the whole thing in one chug. It was from then on that the Rozza sisters respected and obeyed Altilia, even joining up with her unit.
On a related note, that was also the night Demitri earned Altilia's complete trust, and the first night they slept together. It was a simpler matter for Demitri to win over Altilia, as all he had to do was keep her hair out of her face as she hurled up a night's worth of booze. He then chose to stay beside her, in order to keep her from choking on her own vomit through the night.
