The camera from must be a helmet cam begins recording. Lucas starts to smile once he realizes it's on, readjusting before speaking. The background behind him is a lush forest, a few animals can be heard nearby, as well as feint voices from presumably the rest of his unit.
"I got promoted, wellll...more then once.", he says before adjusting again to pull his patch on his type 31 field uniform into view. It's three red chevrons marking him as a Joto Heisho, an NCO, "I was bumped for this new position, I'm actually in command of a unit here. There's a SOFT team here that we work along side of, and both units answer to the Shosa in charge of the star fortress in orbit of this world. To say I'm excited and nervous is an understatement."
Lucas is quiet for a moment as he thought on the four long months that landed him here, and the things they had fought through to get there. Looking back, it was intense, having first started with the retaking of the Ketsuri military sector. "I miss you, and I hope everything on the Kaiyo is still going well. I got to see my sister recently, was called to evaluate a young man for the Rangers, but it was nice to see her again. I hope you get to meet her, though she was very interested in meeting you. Apologies in advance heh, but sis has to do the things a sister does, like meet the brother's girlfriend."
The helmet is turned around to show a view of a farm that fills the view through a break in the trees. A small field with various farm animals roaming about and grazing peacefully can be seen. Beyond is a large crop of wheat like plants, the bright sun from a nearly cloudless sky illuminating them like the backdrop to some scenary painting as they lazily jostle in the wind. "It truly is a beautiful world, one I count myself lucky to get to see, I only wish you could be here with me to see it. Maybe the next time you have leave we can come here together.", Lucas comments as his tone tells how much he's missed her, one that carries as he turns the helmet to himself one last time. Finishing the recording with a smile and the words, "I love you, write back soon."
