Ch. 1 The next assignment

[Mierin]

Sam nod at Shep. "Good idea. I'll go check it out. Then I need to see about equipment."

(OCC: As far as I know Rhys would have no change in his gear unless GM wants it otherwise)

When Sam and Rhys approached the resupply transport, a Death's Head APC, one of the base personnel grabbed Sam's attention, Ma'am, one of you men if waiting for you." He motioned towards a psi stalker seated on a crate. Shep and Darryl were just coming into the hangar behind them.

(this is chrom's intro)

Cabal looked to be sitting quietly in meditation. he was wearing a suit of the new-style CA-6 heavy armor, minus his helmet, which was sitting next to him. the "PSI" emblem emblazoned on his chest wasn't needed since his hairless albino features were easily enough to distinguish him as a psi-stalker. he had a CAJ-5 weapon system mounted on his left arm and a non-standard issue JA-12 slung across his back. his steel-blue eyes were cold and hungry.

this psi-stalker must have done something to distinguish himself, since it was practically unheard of for one to make officer grade, at least among human troops. not to mention the load-out he was sporting, which was like-wise usually reserved for human use. his marksmanship badge was displayed on the opposite side of his chest, offsetting the PSI emblem. he opened his eyes at the approach of the humans and stood, snapping to a crisp salute.

"Good morning, Lieutenant." he addressed his superior officer. "Second Lieutenant Cabal Thorne reporting for duty as ordered, ma'am." his voice came out like a low, gravelly rumble, but entirely respectful. he looked solid as a rock both physically and from a military bearing stand-point. he stood holding his salute while waiting for the LT to return the gesture as protocol dictated, and offering his dossier in a sealed envelope in his other hand.

[Mierin]

Sam returns the salute and says "At ease." She then takes the dossier with a nod of thanks and tells Thorne "We're heading out in a couple of hours on the next supply flight. Make sure you have everything you need by then. Do you have any questions?"

[Marcethus]

Rhys watches Sam out of the corner of his eye. Wearing his CA-7 Armor with his usual CP-30 in its shoulder holster, his CP-50 Slung over his shoulder as he carries a duffle with his stuff over the other shoulder and hauling medium sized tool kit, as he makes his way to the Death's head transport.

[dakota]

" I hope you aren't lugging all that junk on a mission." Shep smirked at Rhys, motioning towards the tool kit. " even a dumb city boy could track the racket that'll make."

" Hey, " Darryl piped up," I didn't agree to come so you'd have someone to kick around."

Shep shrugged," It was in the fine print."

Darryl looked to Sam for help.

[Marcethus]

Rhys shrugs. "Given that we will be stationed at the Forward Obs base I figured that I would requistion stuff for my MOS, Then before we go out I will break it down into a more portable one."
Loading his gear on to the Transport then goes to standby and watches the LT and the newcomer. "Know anything about the Stalker Shep?" Gesturing to Sam and Cabal.

Cabal drops into a relaxed Parade Rest position. "just one. what's our objective?" he looks over his new team one-by-one, as if sizing them up while waiting for his new CO's response.

[Mierin]

Sam shakes her head. "We haven't really been briefed on that yet. We'll find out when we reach our destination. We're headed to Forward Observation Base 4 in two hours on the next supply flight. Be ready to go by then." Assuming he has no other questions, she will dismiss him and head to her room to get herself ready to go.

[dakota]

" Hey LT!" One of the flight crew shouted," If you're crews ready, we're heading out early. We need to make another run as soon as we offload." The engines were already warming up.


Shep shook his head to Rhys. " nope, never seen him before. But another set of eyes to help keep nutset here alive is always welcome."

" Is the only reason you vouched for me was to take your abuse?" darryl complained.

" Yup." Shep nodded and walked over towards Sam and the stalker, sizing him up, but saying nothing.

[Marcethus]

Rhys makes sure his gear is secured and waits near the transport ready to board when the others are.

Cabal nods, "I'm still packed from the trip in. just off-loaded myself, so I'm ready." as the Warrant walks up, Cabal introduces himself, extending a hand. "Cabal Thorne." Cabal looks young, still in his late teens, but solid. he seems to have a very by-the-book demeanor, but his eyes tell the story that he still knows his place among humans. he seems confident and strong, but not arrogant. he knows he's a psi and a mutant, but he's already paid heavy dues and worked for what he has. "guess you can consider me your resident MilSpec."

[dakota]

Shep raised a brow, then shook the hand. " Carson Trassk, but call me Shep. You ain't like any other stalker I ever worked with. You didn't smell me first." He turned to Sam," LT, we're good to go whenever you are."

[Mierin]

Sam nods at Shep and says "I'm just going to grab my bag from my room and I'll be ready to go." She then trots to her room at a quick pace and grabs her duffel bag and heads back to the flight, ready to get on board.
