Seven in the morning comes early to the new members of the Stalwart Special Tactics unit, and Max prepares himself to evaluate them and see if the assignments set by Central Command, based on their academy data are even vaguely right.
Most Commanders go by them until the end of the first few battles, but he really doesn't have the luxury of finding out the hard way, there aren't enough members of a Special Tactics team for that sort of shortsighted nonsense.
So he will train them hard this morning, then head out to the receiving parties for the retirees while Nico takes care of the last of their requisitions. They managed to get five of the Comor Pattern Mobile Suits, but the weapons for them never arrived, as well as a number of other random items that Max had deemed essential on his requisition list. They were all approved, they simply aren't here, either misplaced or delayed.
