Judging by the time, it should be almost time for dinner.
Charlotte changed into the intern's clothes and put on the armband, name tag, and military branch badge.
After putting everything away, Eric and the others sent a voice communication request on the optical brain.
After the connection was connected, Eric's voice came from there: "Charlotte, are you ready? Do you need us to come up and help?"
Just now Eric and Justin went to the lobby on the first floor to take a look and found that Charlotte's duffel bag was no longer there.
The two of them then went back to their dormitory to tidy up, preparing to send a message to Charlotte when she needed it.
But until now, Charlotte has no intention of contacting them.
It was not convenient for Eric to come to the girls-only top floor, so he took the initiative to contact Charlotte.
Regarding Eric's kindness, Charlotte replied: "No, I have already packed everything."
On the other end of the communication, Eric continued: "It's dinner time, do you want to go have dinner together?"
In this strange place, interns usually work together and can help each other if they don’t understand something.
Not to mention that Charlotte, Eric and Justin are familiar with each other, so they will naturally tend to act together.
Charlotte had no reason to refuse and responded, "Okay, I'll be down right away."
After hanging up the communication, Charlotte stood up and walked out, closing the door.
At the stairwell of the second floor, Eric and Justin were already waiting there.
Charlotte and the others haven't met any other interns yet, and the only one they know from Palton, Ouyang Zongzhe, hasn't arrived yet.
Anyway, there is no "√" next to his name on the list to receive the luggage bag.
In this way, until the eight interns at the headquarters become familiar with each other, they probably will not act collectively.
The cafeteria at the headquarters is also very impressive. It has 2 floors in total. Each floor is quite large and seems to be able to accommodate a lot of people.
I heard from the staff that they can dine on both the first and second floors, and there is no exclusive dining area for leaders.
I guess the only difference between the two floors is the food.
In the Star Federation, the food culture is really rich, which can be seen from the large restaurant in Gevos.
Although in this kind of military unit, the dietary tastes of every soldier are not so thoughtfully paid attention to, they will try their best to diversify the dishes so that they can choose food that is more in line with their own tastes.
In a way, this is very considerate.
After all, this is not a restaurant, so it is impossible to put too much energy into "eating".
Since ancient times, soldiers have been very hard-working, strong-willed and self-disciplined, and will not pursue these material enjoyments too much.
The clothes worn by Charlotte and the others were only worn by interns, and were different from those worn by formal soldiers.
Moreover, they are completely new faces here, so they are naturally more likely to attract attention.
Not long after they walked in, people started looking at them one after another.
The entire cafeteria was filled with soldiers or officers in military uniforms, and some in physical fitness suits. They must have just returned from training.
In short, these people were looking at Xia Luo and the others one after another. If they were ordinary people, they would really feel a little pressure.
The soldiers are mainly men, and it is rare to see female soldiers.
Even if there are female officers, the number is very small. They should all be civilian cadres.
Charlotte recalled the former employment habits of Major General Randall. Anyway, as far as she knew, his former Eighth and Ninth Fleets had never used female soldiers.
These female cadres now should be left over from the previous person in charge. Charlotte knew that Ares Randall was just transferred here to take over.
Otherwise, based on his preferences, if he stays here for a long time, there will probably not be a group of female cadres?
Even if no one told Charlotte this kind of piecemeal information, she could figure it out on her own.
Capturing information and analyzing intelligence are the abilities that Charlotte has honed in the last days.
For a long time, this seemed to be her instinct.
It's lunch time now. In the cafeteria, there are many men of different ages, most of them with serious expressions. People who come here for the first time may feel a little embarrassed because of this.
Even though interns are generally excellent, they have never experienced the hardships of the workplace and are relatively green.
Usually, before the previous person in charge retires, the headquarters of the 8th War Group Army often accepts female interns.
After female interns come here, even if they don't show it on their faces, they usually feel uncomfortable for a while.
However, although Charlotte is a girl, compared with the usual female interns, she has a completely calm pace.
Facing the people in the cafeteria looking at her openly or covertly, she seemed not to feel it, and her expression remained as usual.
Charlotte's eyes only looked at the dining window of the cafeteria.
She has excellent eyesight and can already see roughly what dishes are available from a distance.
For Charlotte, after experiencing so many years of terrifying escapes in the apocalypse, this kind of military unit is the safest.
As long as the place is safe, Charlotte will not release any other miscellaneous emotions unnecessarily.
Not used to it? Feeling cramped? Feel embarrassed?
She has a lot of life experience, so she doesn't think so at all. After all, her age and experience are different from ordinary people.
For her now, other people's looks are not as good as a delicious meal to arouse her emotions.
Even after coming to the interstellar age, she could not easily change the habits that had been ingrained in her bones over the years.
Charlotte came to a row of windows and took a general look, found one she was more satisfied with, and lined up.
There were several officers and soldiers lining up in front of them. When they saw Charlotte lining up behind them, they looked back at her.
But they just looked at it and didn't do anything rude.
Soon we arrived at Charlotte. Like the people in front, Charlotte took a tray.
After ordering, Charlotte opened the electronic internship certificate in the computer and scanned it. The amount will be settled uniformly at the end of the month.
After scanning the internship certificate, she put the dinner plate on the tray, and then went to the designated window next to it to get fruits, snacks and other things.
Eric and Justin also finished their meals quickly and came over to meet Charlotte.
Several people found an empty table and sat down to eat together.
After coming to the new environment, Justin was the more excited type and maintained a strong interest in everything.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that there were no girls here.
Looking around, there are all straight men, which makes Justin lose a lot of fun.
