It fucked up, I guess that was too much.
Emma Wright was Brown's lawyer more precisely, the lawyer of the company and the employees. The woman had already half a century behind her but her shining health made her look slightly younger than she was, she already had grandchildren and most of her family was living in Florida. The lawyer woman was donning a grey dress with a red tie with the logo of Brown's company.
"Good morning, my name is Emma Wright, I will be your lawyer for the time you work for us."
"Good morning, I'm Tanya Schuldner. Should we discuss about something?"
The grandmother put down the cutlery and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"Since you're in our good care, I will have your back if there's any problem. Although I might not be a lawyer for years to come. Well, let me tell you that I could bail you out for almost anything, but I do not encourage you doing any criminal acts."
"I… ok?"
"Also, here's the schedules for meal times and your lessons." the lawyer said before handing over a leaflet. "Maria, could you kindly lead the new resident to Brown's bureau?"
The employee had to discuss about the material she need for her tank lessons. Oddly enough, there was a garage with a handful of late generation tanks. Tanya was already familiar with those and didn't need much time to inspect them. She asked for their blueprints, she was surprised to get them right after her demand. The employer gave her some time to prepare before her next lesson.
"Alright, maggots! I hope you've prepared yourselves 'cause our boss has got us some toys! These Wolf Models are the Federation's first models, they were the ones who invaded Italy, those are the grandpas of the WM3 which invaded Paris. You better treat them with care because they're the founding fathers of the Federation's armoured division!"
"What's with us?" the trainees asked.
"This is the basic tank you'll be learning to use, although you'll be using WM9s which are the most advanced main battle tanks of the century."
"I have a question!" a trainee said after raising his hand.
"What is it?"
"What are the teams?"
"Right, have any of you worked with someone here? If you aren't in a team of four people by the end of this lesson, I'm going to put you in one. Other question?"
"What about the role of each member?"
"Depending on your abilities or wish, you'll be given a post."
Tanya had to explain each role, what they had to do and their importance. She told them about her reloader experience and how even if they have electronic equipment, knowing how to do the task manually was a must. She eventually gave them a test both physically and written to know the capacities of each trainees. And the end of the lesson, only a few people had a partner. The instructor face palmed herself with a big sigh before turning to her employer who just happened to enter the garage escorted by two men heavily armed.
"When's the deadline again? It's gonna take a long time."
"With the recent operations, the need for an armoured assault has been delayed, although I have no precise deadline. But remember to train them well. A tank is replaceable, not a person."
"Right. Anyway, class dismissed! I'll give you the results tomorrow. Prepare yourselves for some hard training, noobs!"
A female trainee waited until the rest of the class left before coming to her instructor. She looked quite young as she was only seventeen. Tanya frowned at her sight.
"What do you want?" the trainer asked nonchalantly.
"Say, you're a tank specialist, how come you aren't in the army? You're a defector? You're way too young to be retired." the girl said with a serious look.
"You've got a problem with me, shrimp?"
"Since when did you become a bully, butt slut?" Maria said as she was standing near the entrance of the garage.
"I'm not a slut! And I finished my military service for the Federation a long time ago. So you've got a problem with that?"
"Well, no, but usually when you work for Miss B you usually have a bad economic situation and I thought it was weird to have a tank specialist."
"Shrimp, you're barely eighteen and you work for Brown! You're not the one to judge, okay? And Mucama, stop calling me a butt slut! You're jealous I get laid unlike you."
The trainee covered her mouth to muffle the sound of her surprise. Apparently the burn was so bad for the maid that she left stomping the floor with her rangers. The young girl apologised and promised to not get rude toward her instructor fearing for roast of her own. The rest of the day was dedicated to correcting tests and reviewing the performance of her students before going to work.
"Bunch of weirdos, huh?" Cao said after hearing Tanya's story. "You should be glad to be working us! Friendly faces and a great atmosphere too!"
Despite the recent attack, the mood at the bar was back to normal with clients and regulars coming and consuming as if nothing happened. Tanya started to feel at home although she missed fighting tank battles. The feeling of seeing an enemy explode was addictive and the need of adrenaline was starting to take a toll on her. Inu noticed that the new girl was a bit absent.
"Boys, let's start an arm wrestling contest! Anyone who can defeat Inu will get a free drink!" Cao said out of the blue.
Still surprised, the big sister sat at table and presented her arm to the first contestant. The girl was no easy match but anyone who had strong arms could beat her. Tanya was quite impressed by the change of atmosphere and her fanboy, Lukas, pushed her to participate.
"Come on! Show her what a tanker can do!"
"I haven't manned a tank in years, but I'll do my best!" Tanya said, swallowing her saliva as she saw the impassive look of Inu.
"Woohoo! Get her new girl!" some people in the background said to cheer her up.
As soon as the signal was given, the tank instructor met heavy resistance, the opponent wouldn't flinch. The big sister gradually gained ground before losing strength, Tanya gained the momentum and turned the tables. She jumped from victory, screaming with joy.
"You go girl!" Lukas said with a friendly pat on the shoulder.
"That felt good!"
Cao smiled to her sister and winked.
"Was it good enough?" Inu asked to her sibling.
"For now, yes. We can't afford having the Tres Irmas having a sad Irma, am I right?"
The sisters turned to Tanya who was celebrating her small victory while serving drinks. They noticed the Emerald Lady sitting in a corner, observing the scene with a quiet smile. She disappeared behind someone passing in front of her.
"See you soon!" The employees said to the last customers who were leaving.
