"At ease recruit, we bow to royalty, not to each other"
Van leer is struggling to keep up his serious demeanor, amused by the awkwardness of the recruit, but he still manages to keep his serious composure and tone.
"You really think you would get to a full-blown recruit without me knowing who you are? I might have not flown with you personally much - but who do you think proposed your promotion after seeing your record in the short time you are with us?"
Van leer actually becomes serious as he tries to think what gave the recruit the idea The High Command doesn't keep track on each member of The Strike Force.
"Now, I must soon attend to my duties and reports after the long journey - but please, tell me briefly what's troubling you Recruit!"
