We were led into a building, where we were given passes and told to sign them. Then Colonel Turner told the rest of our escort to leave, and took us into a lift, where he pressed a button marked "G-7".
It dropped us off several levels below ground. Turner took us into what looked like a cloakroom and introduced us to an officer named Charis Rose. She proceeded to give us uniforms.
"Your ranks?"
Turner answered for us.
"This is Matt, our new commander. He'l be a Captain. His second will be Lieutenant"
Charis diappeared for a few minutes, coming back with two uniforms. Mine had 3 red pips on the shoulder, and Anisha's had 2. Presumably they were significant of our new ranks.
"OK, you're all done, sir," said Turner. "Do you want to find your quarters or the mess hall first?"
I looked at my watch. It read 12:47. "Let's go and get something to eat."
