[ Dolphin could feel a slight tremor beneath her feet from where she sat in her Dean's office, filing papers. She's heard knocking and footsteps most all day. Frankly, she's glad that she's not the Commander's secretary, as she thinks that whoever would have that job would have to deal with a lot of angry cadets and SeeDs.

But the tremor beneath her feet is different. She knows this reaction to a force of strength very well, and it causes her to pull out her laptop, open her messaging program, and put in the recipient line: STARFIRE. ]

I heard your footsteps in the Dean's office. Did you go see the Commander? Are you okay?

[She thinks about that for a moment between a few bites of ice cream]

That's a scary thought.

[tempesting]

It is a scary thought, but while usually people would say, 'Don't think the worst' you are going out there practically blind. But, I thought of something. Not all monsters on the island must be necessarily bad. The Commander said that this mission is to help Cadets utilize their skills on what they have learned here. And one of the classes does cover general safety and animal awareness.

[curiouseyes]

I think it is the point that they are sending us out practically blind. It's a good test.

[She took another bite of ice cream] You think some of them may not try to attack us if we leave them alone?

[tempesting]

It is, but it's still worrying and dangerous.

[ She nods. ] Yes. I think that if you don't antagonize the monsters, some may just ignore you and go on their way. The test is about getting through the island, right? Using skills? What better skill to have than to be able to calm down an enemy or even mollify a possible assailant, right?

[curiouseyes]

I know it is, but I like the challenge.

I guess that would be worth a try. I think the point is to test our fighting abilities and prove we can come back after being injured. That part I'm not concerned about. I already know that I can.
