General Vernon sat up in her bunk in her private room in the Valkrie quarters. She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and read 4:00 am. Soon, at 5:00 it would be time to meet the team the top-brass had chosen for her. She stood and walked to her desk where the files of the afore mentioned team members were, then looked them over another time. They would be lined up by 4:55 on the training-room floor. She turned around and stepped into the armor dock, and placed her hands into the gauntlets and her feet into the boots, effectively stepping into the skeleton of the suit. Once it confirmed she was in, it started loading the plates onto the frame. once it was done, she stepped out and took her helmet from the rack, put it on, and let the HUD slowly come online; 4:30. Having covered herself in armor, she started towards the training room.

She quietly slid out of bed, careful not to wake her mate, pulled her boots on, and headed towards the courtyard. Maybe someone was awake and around.
