Kachiko sat up in her rack. A yawn sounded from across the room, a pair of lightly green arms stretching over a dark-tressed head. "Cai-chan, you are the most obnoxious yawner I have ever known."

"Sorry, Auntie," the young Second Lieutenant responded with a second albeit silent yawn.

"Has anyone told you what we're doing and where we're going, Auntie?"

Kachiko sighed, "Yes, Lieutenant. I know what we're doing and where."

"So what's going on?" Cai asked, rolling onto her side to look over at the diminutive Lieutenant Colonel.

"Unfortunately, dolly, that's classified," Kachiko shrugged. "Nothing bad, that much I can tell you, from what I do know."

Cai sighed loudly, "I'm getting crazy here, Oba-san. Nobody onboard the Grissom will let me work on anything, not even in the Armory. I kind of wish that you could have brought Reiko with you. She manages to keep me not bored."

Kachiko smirked, "She does have a tendency to keep everything interesting. Once we reach our destination, I will call Reiko in."

"But I will have plenty to do then, Oba-san," Cai complained. "Do you know how much longer?"

"That is likewise classified, Lieutenant," Kachiko sighed, before laying back down in her rack. "You could always go PT?"

That was met with a derisive snort, "I just got done with three months of PT, Oba-san."

"Then stop whining about the opportunity to rest, girly," Kachiko laughed.
