Senior Cass - Same old, same old

As soon as I said those words, the two of us just looked at each other before we shared a simple nod and a chuckle. We actually came to terms like adults and even though the terms we came to weren't exactly civil or normal in the old world, heck, speaking like adults and coming to a solution was even rare back then.

In any case, the General called over what looked to be an assistant of his—who was actually waiting a good distance away with her clipboard—then gave us a brief introduction.

"Cass, this is Sky Ishiyama—the one the president called to us about—who created the spectacle just as we arrived and young man, this is Cass, basically my assistant or something close."

I offered a simple handshake, "Nice to meet you."

She gave me an up-down look as she returned the handshake, "The 'Kid' they always talk about in meetings."

"Yeah, that kid who occupied Valenzuela, right next to Manila."

I interjected, "Well, parts of it."
