" You'll have to ask the mechanics in the motor pool, all I know is they brought us a fleet of them down from GAW when the base was first set up. And the base is right over there." He points to the old style town a short distance away. " You'll get filled in on the rest in your indoctrination to CSOG. Now mount up, we're wasting daylight here." He turns and gets in the passenger seat up the truck. Mikey quckly scoots around and climbs in as well, starting the diesel engine. ( The truck is a fairly common model.

Ellie rolls her eyes "just what I expected," she mumbles to herself. She takes the first open seat she see's and waits for the others.

Dyson takes a last look down the length of the flatbed, then climbs in.

As you climb in, you can overhear a low conversation from the cab (Note: open cab, only seats seperate cab from truck bed. Bed has bench seating along sides).
"Any word from our friend?" Shep asks, watching another truck arrive and begin loading crates from the Deathbringer.
"Yeah, everything is all set." Mikey replies.
"Good. Hopefully these greenhorns don't screw things up" Shep turns and looks over the seat, clearing his throat before speaking. "Hustle up folks, we don't have all day. The brass is expecting you."

Rhys hops out of the truck and helps those that need it get their gear into the truck then climbs back in helping those that have trouble getting in then takes a seat in the back of the truck (and by back i mean not near the cab)

Ellie sits there not listening but not, not listening either... "action already!" she thinks to herself... "well might as well be ready for anything at anytime"
ooc: since I was the first one in I'm probably up against the cab... and probably overheard it all.

Snowball climbs into the back and takes a seat nearest the rear of the vehicle. Listening to the conversation for a moment, he slowly flexes the claws of his right hand in and out. After a few minutes he directs his attention back to his surroundings and begins watching for anything strange.

( GM note: Okay, I hate having to do this, but I'm jumping ahead a bit so I can keep this rolling while I'm away for a few days. Mikki is now in the truck and it has arrived in the town/base)
Mikey brings the truck to a halt at the first pair of buildings. A young soldier stands on the steps of the building to the left, his arms folded behind him, a disgusted look on his face. He steps down from the steps and starts towards the truck, his head held high to show off the luietenant's bars on his collar. He stops a few yards from the truck and glares at Mikey and Shep. Mikey jumps down from the truck and salutes the Lt, and Shep deliberately slowly wanders around the truck. He stops along side Mikey, and looks the Lt up and down with a hmph.
" Where's your salute Sergeant, Trassk is it?" The Luietenant snaps, glaring at Shep.
Shepherd snaps a proper salute to the Lt, with a pissed off look on his face. " Yes, sir"
The Lt returns the salute to the pair of them, a wry smirk creeping across his lips. Mikey turns to Shepherd. " Sarge, meet Luietenant Archer. Told you that you'd like him."
Shep stifles a chuckle and turns back to the truck. " Alright folks, fall in and meet the guy who thinks he's gonna be in charge."
Lt. Archer shoots Shep a dirty look, then turns his attention to the rear of the truck.

Dyson rises stiffly from one of the bench seats in the flatbed. He grabs his duffel bag and jogs to the back of the flatbed, almost losing his balance at the edge and almost falling out, but managing to turn it into a clumsy jump down to the ground.
Dyson turns and looks back at everyone with a pained look that just lasts under a second before lapsing to neutrality.
Dyson quickly walks up to the Lt., gives a slightly overdone salute, eyes dead ahead, and says " Sir, Dyson Wong, technical officer, reporting.

Rhys stands; stretches then grabs his duffel hops out of the truck and falls in next to Dyson. He looks to the Lt. then snaps a salute. "Sergeant Rhys O'Neill reporting for duty" Then Rhys stands at attention.

Lt. Archer returns O'niell's and Wong's salutes, says " At ease" and turns to the flat bed. He yells " Come on grunt, get a move on!".
(OOC: I'll be sub GMing for Jon/Dakota over the weekend.)

Rhys stands at ease, looking sizing up the Lt inconspiciously. Trying to get a general feel for the guy. (ie whether Rhys gets the feeling he's a good guy or sets off those little bells that this guy's an ass)

Snowball hops out of the rear of the vehicle and gets into the forming line of people. Giving the Luietenant a quick salute before replying in his deep, rumbling voice, "Sir, Snowball reporting, Sir." Staring straight ahead, snowball inhales deeply taking in the new scents and focuses his ears on the Luietenant.

Lt. Archer, raising his voice and talking to every one says " Ah, it's good to get some soldiers around here that have some respect for the chain of command". He lets his gaze linger on Shep for a moment, but continues speaking almost immediately " Welcome to Fort Griggs, like the sergeant said I'm Lt. Archer, base sub-commander. I'll be handling you're pre and post mission briefings.
Any questions before the sergeant takes you down to the base.
(To Rhys: To sum up your first impression of Lt. Archer just from how he speaks and looks at everyone, he's a young arrogant SOB Officer who has gotten to big for his even now overly promoted status, but there is something in the way that he looks at people thats unnerving.)
(To Snowball: You smell dry dirt, more horse than you would like and the people around you. There is nothing really strange.)
FYI: Since Cabal hasn't posted for his char yet and it doesn't look like he will soon just assume colonel Mendez is out of the flatbed and standing with you.
