Chapter 4:Retake Vasel City (II)

Opening

[Ellet sits on the ground, pondering with her notebook in front of her. She
twirls her pencil lazily.]

Ellet: Squad 7 of Regiment 3. My first impression...good!

[She writes in her notepad. She has pictures of Welkin and Alicia.]

Ellet (sighs): Lieutenant Welkin Gunther, Squad Leader. Next in Command,
Sergeant Alicia Melchiott.

[Ellet lies down on the ground and looks at the clouds.]

Ellet: That lieutenant looks softer than I'd expect for the son of the late
General Gunther. And her...her hometown is Bruhl. Same as Gunther. Could be
childhood friends? (giggles) But if I'm lucky they were childhood sweethearts.
We'll just have to find out how close they are.

[Ellet Looks at the pictures of Largo and Rosie.]

Ellet: Next on the list, Sergeant Largo Potter and Corporal Brigitte Stark.
No wait, that's right. Stark had a nickname. Gotta jot that down. (writes)
Goes...by..."Rosie"...there! Looks like those two don't trust Gunther much yet.
That could be good. Could be really good. Who does that leave? Right...the
tank pilot. Corporal Isara Gunther. Huh? She's the lieutenant's sister.

[Ellet Looks at Isara's picture.]

Ellet: Well, that's strange. She looks Darcsen to me. I wonder how that comes
into the picture. (giggles) You couldn't ask for a more colorful crew than
that, could you? Something tells me these guys are different than the usual
troops, somehow. May be my keen journalistic instincts. Well then...

[Ellet tosses her pen high in the air and catches it.]

Ellet: The truth's not gonna uncover itself. Here I come, ready or not.

Ellet: Ooh, there's Sergeant Potter, and Corporal Stark with him. Heyyy, guys!
Mind if I ask a few questions? It'll only take a second.

Largo: What, like an interview? What do you want to go interviewin' us for?

Rosie: Aww, c'mon, big guy. I bet we'd make better topics than some rich kid.

Ellet: Wonderful. Let's start with you then, Largo. You fought in the First
Europan War, right?

Largo: Yeah, been a soldier ever since, too. I'm what you'd call a seasoned
warrior, see?

Ellet: And why did you choose to stay in the force? Most people try to avoid
the soldiering life.

Largo: It's an honest living, plus I got my reasons. 'Sides, I ain't the only
one. Look at Elle.

Rosie: Elle? Who's Elle?

Ellet: If I had to guess, I'd say Eleanor Varrot. Captain Varrot, that is.
Third Regiment. It seems you've got quite a history with her. Care to...fill in
some details for us?

Largo: Th-There ain't no details! Is this the trash you want to write about?
Look, I'm a busy guy. I'm outta here.

[Largo walks away.]

ROSIE: H-Hey, Largo! Wait up!

Ellet: Oh, just let him go. We can have a little chat, just the two of us girls.
So, Rosie--can I call you Rosie? Beautiful name, by the way. Do you like
flowers?
