"Training, still training... Has there been any response from IOP about the orders?" Gentiane sighed and asked Kalina beside her.
It had been a whole week since she took office. Each day was filled with training, and beyond that, there was more training. The jurisdiction remained calm, and she hadn't been assigned any tasks from above. This eerie and inexplicable calm made Gentiane feel like she had been forgotten by G&K Headquarters.
"Well, the orders have been completed, but unfortunately, Commander, G&K HQ's helicopters are currently unavailable. So, we may need to wait a while, or you'll have to personally drive back to HQ to retrieve your T-Dolls."
"Why... can't HQ find a driver to deliver the T-Dolls? Or let the T-Dolls drive themselves..."
The T-Dolls from the Renault family could drive, even helicopters were within their capabilities, and some could even pilot mechs!
Why didn't her T-Dolls have such diverse skills!?
Perhaps sensing Gentiane's resentment, Kalina scratched her cheek. "Well, finding someone to deliver is not impossible. But, Commander, do you have the money to pay for the driver's expenses and vehicle transportation?"
Damn Griffin!
Why did they have to charge their own commander for transporting her own T-Dolls! It was outrageous! Besides the essential rations to sustain life, even decent food required money out of her own pocket!
As a newly appointed commander who hadn't received a penny of salary in almost a month, Gentiane felt extremely frustrated!
Fortunately, her one-month probation period was about to end, and payday was approaching. Once she got her salary, she could immediately escape the days of eating MREs...
Although she thought so, the idea of eating lavishly while her T-Dolls watched from the sidelines made Gentiane's eyes twitch.
Could she really stomach it? Well, probably not...
Compared to her as a commander, the Griffin T-Dolls could only receive G&K's internal credit points.
Through Kalina, her Dolls could spend the credit points in their respective accounts. It wasn't a large amount, just enough for them to buy some snacks. If they had missions, they could earn more credit points. Slowly accumulating, they could eventually buy things they liked.
However, only a few Dolls planned their spending. Most of them spent their points in the first few days. After all, as tactical dolls, especially those in combat zones, no one knew if they would be alive to enjoy their sweets tomorrow.
Maybe they just got paid, and the next moment, they were taken out by Sangvis Ferri...
Calculating the amount of her upcoming salary, Gentiane glanced at the price list Kalina had shown her before. Since all supplies and items had to be purchased through Kalina, she naturally had a G&K internal price list.
Having seen it before, Gentiane was dazzled by the exaggerated prices on it, which reminded her of the situation at Renault's base.
Although Renault's dormitory didn't look as good as G&K's base, and the equipment wasn't as advanced...
But they ate well! Every meal was different! They could eat as much as they wanted! Desserts were unlimited, although doing so would earn them a lecture from G36, but you could really eat as much as you wanted!
Unlike her base, where there was only a small ordinary refrigerator in the kitchen next to the dormitory area, which was currently empty. Forget about snacks and desserts; even vegetables and meat were nowhere to be found...
Every day, they were stuck eating MREs...
Now Gentiane finally understood.
That guy Renault... was actually wealthy... She used to think he wasn't well off because he wore the same coat for a week and only changed it once, being dragged away by M1 Garand to clean it.
It was because of this that she thought Renault probably wasn't well off, but she didn't expect him to be so generous with his T-Dolls while being thrifty with her.
He would casually give out hundreds of thousands; where did all that money come from? Blown in by the wind?
Although Gentiane hadn't seen Renault pull out actual cash, the numbers in the T-Dolls' mobile accounts weren't fake.
Thinking of this, Gentiane took out her phone and checked her bank account, which was not much, but not particularly little, just over two hundred thousand. This was all she had in savings.
But compared to those T-Dolls whose savings were mostly in the seven digits, she was obviously a poor person.
"Commander! HQ has sent an emergency mission! A Sangvis Ferri train has crossed through a neighboring territory! It has already entered the range of the S09 territory! HQ wants us to send someone to investigate the situation!"
Kalina's sudden voice, along with the mission briefing appearing on the screen in the command room, immediately brought Gentiane back to reality!
A mission! And an emergency one!
What did this mean!? Mission bonus! Double for emergency missions! Although it was just a routine reconnaissance mission, but! With the reward of an emergency mission! It was enough to cover her lazing off in the base for half a month!
"Kalina! Gather Papasha and the others! We're ready to go!" Gentiane said as she took off her coat, ignoring the weather outside, and grabbed a heavy bulletproof vest from the side to put on.
Kalina was stunned for a moment. Gentiane quickly put on the bulletproof vest, and then stuffed various equipment such as magazines and communicators into the slots of the vest and tactical belt.
In less than a minute, she hadn't even had time to stop her...
Until Gentiane reached for an AK105 from the price rack, pulled the charging handle to check the chamber condition, Kalina realized what Gentiane was going to do!
This guy clearly wanted to go on the reconnaissance mission with her T-Dolls!
"Wait! Wait! You can't go! Where has there ever been a commander who just took office and went on the first mission with tactical dolls! And this is an emergency mission! For the sake of safety, you should stay in the command room and command Papasha and the others!" Kalina shouted anxiously, unless there was an emergency, G&K HQ would never issue an emergency mission. Moreover, this time the target was a Sangvis Ferri train. She couldn't let Gentiane rush out like this!
What if hundreds of Sangvis Ferri dolls jumped off the train? The commander of the S09 territory would have to be replaced again!
