[Guns tended to make Kaneki somewhat nervous, and blades, well. Those were useless when he was personally equipped with a natural weapon far sharper and more deadly than any bladed weapon mankind had ever managed to make. He might not be very good at long distance fighting, but when you could close a gap like Kaneki could, it didn't make much of a difference.
So, no, he wasn't wanting to get into an encounter with whatever killed these recruits, but if it happened, he knew that he might be able to put up slightly more of a fight than they had.]
Agreed. [A somewhat dour statement, but extremely necessary. If they neglected to respond to this, it would most likely happen again, if the evidence was to be believed. Kaneki has to wonder what the officers were doing in this situation, though it's interesting so much of what is handled on this ship was handled by those consigned to its service.
He appreciates Sturmhond's level tone; Kaneki's voice is similar, when it doesn't have a slight hitch. More so because of the smell than the actual scene. For that, well, he's seen (and caused) far worse.]
Red. [He has very little idea what that means.] Instructors—the ones that lead the teams? [He looked around at the functions of the blackglass last night and noticed that there were many files on the crew, but he hadn't looked into too many.]
[ Red. It may mean little to Kaneki, but it tells Sturmhond something about Kaneki's skillset. He nods. ]
That's right. Yours would be Dagger. Ghost is on Blue, which is my team. Armada is Green, and Warriorhead is Orange. Above them are Neheda, after whom the ship is named - she's the pilot - and Gliese, the Captain.
They aren't the only CDC officers here, but they're the ones most likely to give you orders.
[Unfortunately for Kaneki, he wishes it didn't say so much about his skillset. Nothing he can do about that now, though.
It's a lot of names, but he's very good at picking up new information. He most likely wouldn't need to be reminded to remember which team they lead, at the very least. Once he figured out he could read files on everyone else aboard the Neheda, he would most likely prioritize learning more about the officers as well.]
[ Sturmhond nods, though the tension in his jaw says he’s not really
expecting it to remain that way. The killer’s not here. The safest thing to
do is to anticipate it striking again. ]
The only ones I’ve heard of. Some might say two is more than enough.
We’ll have to report this. You should check in with Dagger, or some of the
senior Red recruits. They’ll give you a steer on what to do.
Certainly more than enough. [Said with some sadness, but Kaneki is also selfish in the statement—it would've been easier for him to get acclimated to this situation and wait for whatever the instructors would provide for his food situation without dead bodies just... lying around. It made it very difficult for him to approach everything calmly and logically.]
I'll do that. I know a few of them from yesterday. [He looks back to Sturmhond.] I appreciate the guidance. I"ll try to report whatever I might find.
[It wouldn't be too long before he got more orders, anyway—orders from Dagger and his unit leads respectively. Until then, though, he feels the need to get as far away from the bodies as physically possible.]
[A quiet nod.] As should we all. [Otherwise, nearly two hundred recruits with a bunch of similar chatter of findings would become a troublesome thing to work through.
Kaneki looks to Sturmhond as well.]
Agreed.
[A shake of the head.] One can't anticipate when things like this are to happen. I'm sure we will get that opportunity. [Read: we're both to survive to that point so we can.
He doesn't know much about the other man, but he seems capable and understanding of how to handle a complicated situation. He has the young half-ghoul's trust and respect, at the very least.] Until then, Sturmhond. [Then it's just an abbreviated bow of the head and shoulders before he's making a retreat away from the bodies, the smell, a constant reminder of flesh, meat.]

I understand. Thank you for the information.
Are these the only victims you've found so far?

We should move.
I'm sorry we're meeting under these circumstances. Would that they were better. At a more convenient moment, I'll make up for the rude introduction.
