"At least it's better than the stuff we get at base. I mean, Steak is fine, but after scientists have pulverized it and shove it in a tube, it loses it's flavor."

Everyone chuckled, except Hunter, who looked sypathetic. "Looks like they don't know much about cooking!" Chuckled Arya.

"They don't care is more like it. They focus on shelf life more than flavor."

Hunter shook her head. "Meat without flavor? Eeeeewwwwww..." Said Rebeca. "I prefer fresh hunted meat!"

"Yea, that is often a better meal. But when you're out in space, there's no game, which means it's either the powdered meat or starvation."

Rebeca made a face. "Blech!" Hunter looked worried. "Ohhhhhh....."She mumbled worriedly.

"But it's going to be a long time until we return to base, and it's often only for a day or two, while they get you your next mission."

Hunter relaxed a bit. She hated powdered meat.

Jultun smiled, "Better start getting ready, Hunter, the Council is meeting soon, and we need to be there in time. It just wouldn't do to be late."

Hunter was a bit startled. She tried desperately to rub some dirt off one of her bracers.

Hunter blushed a bit. She stopped rubbing her golden bracer, which was removed of it's dirt.

"Remember, if you panic, you could overlook an important fact, such as the length of time until an important meeting, or forget something. It saves time and effort to stay calm and focused."

"Rebeca, you are not any better than Hunter. Remember, even if your actions are brave, they are meaningless if you have not thought them through."

Rebeca stop laughing and stared at Jultan. Hunter looked away. Rebeca eyes narrowed a bit. "When somethings about life or death, you don't have time to think. You just do. My best friend Moonshade gave her life to save me. Do you really think she had time to think? No! She just did. THAT is the mark of a true hero." She said.

Jultun shook his head. "There are times, Rebeca, when that is true. But in other times, it can be a lot more effective to think before you act. Had I learned this sooner, I may have been able to save my love."

Hunter nodded. "Thoughly planned out strategies often lead to success. Only the most well planned counter-strategies may stop them. "

"Which is why we're going to be starting training tomorrow morning." Jultun said, "You need to learn as many of the strategies of the enemy as soon as possible, if you're going to be effective in stopping them."

"I thought I didn't need to train, unless your teaching me the strategies of the Rebels?" Asked Hunter.

"That's what i just said." Jultun said. "Listen more, talk less. It is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it."

Hunter nodded. Arya finished her soup. She snapped her fingers and the bowl vanished with a pop.

Rebeca nodded, agreeing with Jultan, before heading out the door and turning into an Umbreon. After saying goodbye, she ran off towards the forest. Hunter decided to stay for the night.

Jultun pulled off his backpack, and pulled a hammock out of it. He tied it to a pair of trees, then laid down and fell asleep.

Jultun was standing in a small clearing, and looked taller and more... official. "Recruit! Today is the first official day of your training. Until said training is complete, you will address me as Sir, exept in matters of extreme peril. You can ask questions in between training exercises, but in the duration, you will remain focused. It is my task to make you into the best officer you can be, and I intend to do so. Do i make my self clear?"

Hunter was used to being addressed this way. "Yes Sir!" She said, saluting.
