18th of Capricornian. Suvorova residence, Podsolnechnikograd, Hoomun ESR, Loliliandia. 06:30 of morning
It was very early morning when the sisters waked up. Due to their training and experience, they tended to do it, mostly by 5-6 of morning. However, today was a different one.
Natasha: There. Done packing. Time for breakfast.
Meanwhile, Irina took a bath right after washing her face.
Natasha: When you're done, catch-up here and eat.
Irina: Yes, sis.
Few minutes later, Natasha finished her breakfast just as Irina finished her bath, and so they swapped. It was Natasha's turn to take a bath while Irina for breakfast. Said breakfast was actually fish stew, albeit has a unique mix of sourness and spiciness. Both liked it. After preparations, the sisters were ready to leave.
Elena: Take care. Natasha, Irina.
Natasha and Irina: Yes, Mom. Bye!
And so they waved goodbye. Unlike most of the time were they wear their field, parade or daily uniform. They left in their casual outfit. The sisters have a different objective afterall.
Sunflower station. Podsolnechnikograd, Hoomun ESR. 30 minutes later.
They've arrived at the station and looked for any trains heading to Avius ESR. They found one, but empty. Contrary to popular belief, trains heading to the ESR's of Avius, Lizarian and specially Netheran where mostly empty. After all only tourists, moving Lolilandic citizen (which is rare) and Officials of Government and Military would go there. But it didn't mean these trains would go empty since passengers would ride each time it stops. Natasha and Irina board in that train, and to their surprise, it was only cheap. 20 Goldny, way far different than they thought be, due to distance between Hoomun and Avius ESR. To add more surprise, the train driver asks their autograph and revealed she knows the two.
Irina: Huh? How come? Are we popular now?
Train Driver: Yes. Your whole unit was on TV in fact.
Irina: Uh huh. Thanks anyway. *whispers Natasha* how do we get away from this?
Natasha: *whispers back* I dunno. But be prepared. I have a feeling there's more.
The sisters decide to sit anyway. They brought their pens for signing guest book on a bathhouse in Avius ESR that Irina wants. And as Natasha thought, people in every station the train stops greet the sisters. Irina at this point, decide to use her digipod, a unique pocket-sized device that allows to have access on messages and send one, call someone and talk, and use library and watch some televised programs through Internet. Irina watched a news show and was surprised. The 212th Assault Mechanized Corps, and by extension the whole 4th Main Ground Infantry Division were now popular. Lots of refugees telling stories on how they patch their wounds or feeding them. Other passengers were start taking pictures with the sisters using their digipods and standard cameras. So much people that meet and greet them that they reached their destination in just 2 hours.

Irina: Oh look, sis. We're here.
Natasha: Finally. Bathhouse here we go.
The sisters waved goodbye to everyone else.
Flockhead station. Featherus, Avius ESR. 09:00 of morning
They immediately look for a ride that will bring them to the bath house. Until there was a PUT, or Public Utility Trucks. They picked it asked price and pay. It was just 3 Goldny each. Inside the truck, there's a Demihuman fox sitting alone. Natasha and Irina went at the end of the seat. Facing the foxgirl.
Mira: I uh.... Hello there... Um...
Natasha: I'm Natasha Suvorova. Sergeant of LPA Ground Force.
Mira: And I'm Mira Degtyarova. Can I have autograph? I brought my own pen. *reaches the items to Natasha*
Natasha: *signs autograph* Say, Miss Mira. Where you heading at?
Mira: At the bathhouse. I wanna relax there.
Natasha: Perfect. Same destination. Mind joining us?
Mira: Yes I would love to.
But Irina asks something different to Mira. To her knowledge, A foxgirl in Avius ESR is rare to see. Unless if working or running a business.
Irina: By the way. What is your job here?
Both Natasha and Mira caught off-guard. But the latter answers anyways.
Mira: I'm... *gulp* I'm an LPAF Pilot. From 622nd Air Bomber Regiment, 2nd Air Guards Division.
Natasha: Eh? Are you one of the Air units in charge of bombing Orcopia?
Mira: Uh... Yes. My callsign at the time is Strawberry Two.
Irina: Oh cool. My sis' callsign is Beef Two Actual
Natasha: Irina?
Irina: Nah. It's time for her to know.
When Mira heard this. She changed from shy to excitement to Natasha. Then.....
Mira: Miss... no... Comrade Natasha. Please be my friend!!!!!
Natasha: Uh. Sure. Nice to know you. You live here yes?
Mira: Yep. I did.
As they talk, the truck rolls and finally arrive at the bathhouse. It was a simple, yet sparkling one. The three continue their chatter right after booking the bathhouse. The price was just 100 Goldny. 3 times cheaper than Irina expected. The owner shown up and also asked for autograph and explained that the cheap price was a "special treat" for the "great service to the Motherland" and even offer rooms for the three to stay. Natasha and Mira accepted, while Irina jumps at the food they'll offer. After all of this, the three took a dip, relax and continue their chatter.
Mira: Eh... You're also same cup as myself.
Natasha: To be honest, I prefer to be flat. Since bigger size means harder to wear vests.
Mira: Well true. *chuckles*
Irina: I would said the same but anyway. Wanna tell me the specifics of the Service Aircraft your Regiment use, Comrade Mira.
And so Mira explained. It was long and meticulous details, under five minutes. Then the three start explaining on their experience on the war against Orcopia which took them until evening. All three learned each other. Mira learned about how hard for the sisters they were engaging just as her flight. After having a dinner, the three took some milk, chilling and listening to the music with their digipods.
09:20 Of evening. Flockhead Bathhouse. Featherus, Avius ESR
Natasha: That was great. Goodnight, Irina, Mira.
Irina: Goodnight.
Mira: Wanna take a tour around Avius ESR? I can take you in some best spots around
Natasha: Of course. Since were here I'm planning to take tour trip here. Thanks Mira.
Mira: No problem. Goodnight.
Natasha: Goodnight.
And so the three took sleep. The fun time begins for both Mira and the Suvorova sisters. However, while they're having fun, in the far outside of Lolilandia. A group of Special Purpose Troops, together with the 1st Military Intelligence Force from Phantom Police Guards - Military Intelligence Directorate. Launches an attack against a small kingdom in some unknown land. Their mission is to find the slaves, rescue and cut disrupt its market. As planned they show no mercy to traders. The leader of the group is a Demihuman Moth. Has a rank of Captain and hailed from Special Purpose Forces' First Striker Regiment. Her name is Masha Pugachova.
Masha: Excellent work team. Sweep carefully.
FSR and 1st MIF Troops: Aye, Comrade Captain.
How long their mission it takes didn't matter to them. But the lives of Slaves across Anmius were
