Tamara was having breakfast, browsing the islands' network for news and such when her tablet pinged loudly, making her jump in surprise and attracting the attention of the nearby people. She was sure that she had set it to a discreet ping before, but obviously she didn't. Or maybe she inadvertently bumped it back to loud at some point and didn't realized it.
"Sorry," she said as a way of apologize to the people around, staff from the Mess tent and a few minions, while her heart went back to a more normal and steady beating after the surprise.
She touched the blinking icon to open the message, and read it. It was straightforward and signed by their instructor, meaning that breakfast was over. She looked towards the kitchen side, where someone was preparing fresh bacon, but the new batch wouldn't be ready for another ten minutes. With a sigh, the tigress took one last bite of her hasbrowns and sunny side eggs, finished her glass of fresh pineapple juice and wiped her muzzle clean before taking her tray back for cleaning.
Exiting the tent, she straightened her uniform, made sure it was still clean and brushed off some bread crumbs. Then she checked again that her hair was still nicely tucked behind her head in a pony tail. Satisfied that she was looking good and well within regulations, she made her way towards the Base Ops training tent. The tigress hesitated a split moment to make a detour via the Base Ops dormitories, and make sure her comrades had gotten the message and were getting on the way as well, but she reasoned that they surely received the same message than she did, and would be on their way quickly as well.
She had a split moment of surprise when saw that Darius was in the tent with Cobalt, as she wasn't expecting it, and she took a couple steps into the tent, straightening and saluting the two officers.
"General, Captain, Cadet Tamara reporting as ordered."
