If you have a particular unit you would prefer you need to tell my assistant immediately. Have Specialist Patterson and Yasan paint them black and remove all markings for them.

Your pilots will be assigned to an eight man dorm and your crew will be assigned to one of two eight man dorms. You along with all your officers will be assigned to another dorm.  Dorms are co-ed so if you or your team has any issues, I suggest you adapt quickly.

Re: Starting Point

  Michelle enters the commanders office and despite everything she has a hard time relaxing. her face turns bright red when he brings up her call sign. She about panics with the suggestion of returning to Dr. Ikari's team.
 Looking down she shakes her head before answering his question is a submissive tone. "Sir, I have not exited since i was born, so I prefer to stay with Wraith Squadron, in the Intelligence branch." She looks up and says. "I will not let you down sir."

  once dismissed she reports to the Assistant. "Ma'am Lt. Grey reporting. If i am given my choice of an Alpha veritech, I'd like VF/A-6Z, with a VR-038 light cyclone. Ma'am."

  Once she gets her room assignment and any further instructions, she turns to Lt. Morimoto, "Congratulations sir. Lt. Grey reporting for duty. Despite my age, I will not let you down sir."

Re: Starting Point

Epiphany snaps a perfect salute at the relaying of her orders, "Sundiata is perfectly trained sir." is all she says as she salutes again and turns to go get her room assignment and turn in her request for her beta and cyclone.

As she walks down the hall to her room she is tense, "Never ceased to exist before.  Kinda ominous." she remarks to herself as she reaches the door.  Upon entering the room she is greeted with a single "Woof" as Sundiata stands and comes over to her.  She sits on her bed and absently scratches his huge head as she ponders the ramifications of not existing, "Sorry I got you into this buddy." she says, laying her head on the massive dog, "To be honest though I am glad you are here." Sundiata shakes his huge head and let's out a large dog sigh, then gives her a lick on the hand and lays there with her.

Re: Starting Point

Cerise maintains her poise and composure, following the appropriate military etiquette to  the smallest detail. "Understood sir. We will set fire to a new road, excuse me, blaze a trail for the Gambit fleet, sir." Cerise stands, gives a crisp salute, makes a march about face, and marches to the exit.
After she passes the threshold she relaxes back to a normal walk and approaches the assistant. Using her rank and name from her name-tag or placard (or just rank if there is no visible name), she addresses the assistant, smiling in a friendly manner; "Please requisition a VM-9H, with the OSS-88, and HRG-70 for all hard points. I also like to requisition sufficient munitions, fuel and supplies, appropriate to the mecha and beings in the squadron, to be sent with us for the duration of our mission. If you would like specifics on the types and numbers, I would be happy to get back to you after I have had a chance to have a briefing with my team.
The Commander informed me that you would have new uniforms and a room assignment for me.
Thank you, and please have a pleasant day."


After receiving her uniforms and room assignment, she waits for the remainder of the team to gather outside the offices.

As the each emerge from the Commander's office, if they salute, she returns the salute, then she introduces herself (except to those she has already introduced herself to): "Welcome to the team. I am Second Lieutenant Cerise. It is a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to working with you." She then offers her hand to shake, if they are human, or asks if they have any similar custom, if they are not.

To Sillia she returns the salute, then responds, with a smile, "I appreciate that, Private First Class Sillia. I look forward to working with you. Does your species have any custom that is similar to the human custom of shaking hands?"

Once she has greeted everyone and they are all gathered she addresses everyone. "Officers and pilots, please make sure that Patterson and Yasan have the model and berth information for each of your mecha and make arrangements for the removal of markings, and repainting of your other equipment. Additionally, please prepare a dossier of the supplies and munitions you foresee needing on a fractional per day deployed basis. Include anything you will need to perform your duties in a wide variety of missions, including the range from civilian interaction to full combat. Support personnel, please coordinate all of the maintenance requirements with Deck Chief Draven, and make reports on your assessments of the daily needed supplies and munitions for the entire Vulture as well. I will compile our reports and work with our liaison to try to secure our logistics. Once you've completed these assignments, please enjoy the remainder of the next two weeks liberty on the station. As usual, do not lose contact, as we may be recalled early. Dismissed."

Once in the commandors office, Doshi gives a proper greeting and keeps his month shout. Doshi's in a minor shock that they would consider him for such a group. Its no secert he dislikes aliens, and based on that line its a mix from around the galaxy. And his take no prisoners  attitude on the field of battle doesnt exactly qualify his for a explore/scout group, but why special ops, ...... well this could have been my father's doing or maybe they see something in my skills that makes this crazy group come together.

OK time to close my month before I start drooling, and act like an officer, once the commander is done speaking, Doshi replies "Yes Sir, I understand Sir"

Once outside the office he scratches his head still thinking if he did the right thing.

Re: Starting Point

Matt was just about to offer a response to Miriana, but was cut off when he heard his name get called. Her response wasn't what he expected, and he thought he almost picked up a hint of contempt at her words, but he may have been reading too much into it.

"Tirolean? Zentraedi?" He asked himself.

Not wanting to keep the commander waiting, Matt simply finishes the conversation, "No need to apologize ma'am. I'd imagine it would be fairly annoying. But, I should go, wouldn't want to keep the commander waiting." He finshes with a loose salute, spins on his boot heel and makes his way into the commanders office.

He offers a crisp salute saying "Sir." to the commander and takes the seat that's offered. He listens intently to what the commander has to say but avoids outwardly reacting in any way. Inside, he's pumping his fists and cheering at the news that not only will be be ship side for this deployment, but will also essentially become a ghost. This is exactly what he needed.

Matt decided to jump in with both feet, to show his appreciation for the duties that have been given to him, "Sir, I'd very much like to test pilot the HK Bioroid, sir."

Emboldened by his new assignment, Matt adds with enthusiasm, "I won't let you, the ship, or the team down, sir!"

After Matt is dismissed, he salutes once more, turns sharply with military precision, but once his back is turned, a wide grin crosses his face as he exits the office. To those outside, Matt would appear to have found out that he'd just won the lottery and the Super Bowl, and married a model, all at the same time, he that happy with his meeting.

He heads straight for the commanders assistant, "Specialist Patterson reporting " And once given his uniform and room assignment, makes his way over to Cerise and listens to her speech/briefing.

Re: Starting Point

Miriana watched Petterson go in when his name was called, giving him a nod of approval to leave even though she had no way of stopping him even if she wanted to. When he emerged, she was the next to be called in.

The conversation left a favorable impression on her, firstly because he showed a great deal of efficacy without dancing around the subject, and secondly because he had been working with Dr. Ikari. She figured she would not end up regretting being posted where she was. As for her reaction to the news that she no longer existed, she did not look surprised. This would not be the first time.

Once emerged from the office to hear the next person get called in, a Garudian by the looks of it, she walked up to the assistant only to be stopped by someone. She was about to dismiss her when the woman introduced herself as Lieutenant Cerise, to which she perked up.

- "Ah, in that case lieutenant, the Commander informed me i am to be assisting you on the Vulture. Lieutenant Miriana Thakun, Engineering."

After saluting she would shake hands if the initiative for it lay with Cerise, before waiting to be dismissed for her to turn to the Garudian that entered the office after she had left it, and walked over to the assistant.

- "Greetings, i would requisition a Hunter-Killer Bioroid to be assigned to me please. I believe you are to assign me my quarters?"

She didn't know what kind of enthusiasm Matt had displayed in the office, but having come out shortly after him there was a chance that he had overheard her requisition a HK with the assistant. If it needed to be repainted she wanted to make sure her superiors would know of it.

Re: Starting Point

Kaarle finally begins to relax a little as he see someone exiting Commander Rockatansky's office.

He watches and listens intently waiting for his turn to enter the office.  It isn't long before he finally hears his name called and he confidently steps into the office.

At first blush he is surprised at the lack of decor in the office wondering if this was really a commander's office.  He shakes away the disrespectful thought and shakes Rockatansky's hand firmly.

"2nd lieutenant Kaarle Cherkovski reporting for duty sir"

Listening carefully to his new orders he gets the sense that he wasn't one of the commanders first choices for this duty assignment.  His personal feelings have NEVER been an issue and he has ALWAYS followed his orders with expediency and without question.

Not wanting to loose out on this opportunity he salutes the commander and steps out of the office.

He is immediately accosted by one of his new commanding officer's Cerise.  He gives her a quick salute A pleasure to meet you  He gives her a firm hand shake then turns his attention elsewhere. If you'll excuse me Commander Rockatansky said to speak with his assistant and that I would be reporting to Lt. Doshi Morimoto.  With another quick salute he continues with his tasks.

Seeing the assistant standing there he approaches her without hesitation and with a salute he asks.  "Commander Rockatansky said to report to you for room assignment and a new uniform.  Additionally I need to requisition a new veritech fighter, a VF/A-7B  DELTA FIGHTER with standard load-out"

Once he has things completed with the assistant he looks for Lt. Doshi Morimoto.  recognizing him from when he was called into this office he approaches Lt. Doshi saluting him.

Doshi salutes 2nd Lt. Cerise, and when she extends her hand for a shake, he hesitates, .... "Doshi Morimoto 3rd Lt. Alpha Pilot, assigned as squad commander of Wraith Squadron Ma'am,"

Thinking to myself, ...
'Isn't this just great I have a purple grape for my senior officer, ....'

He reaches out and shakes her hand, looking her dead in the eyes he gives one of his grins, ... he stand quietly on the side as she barks orders, once she's done "Ma'am, Yes Ma'm".

Doshi waits for cerise to be done and looks at this squad. He starts to eye ball them one by one, ... "Ok you heard the Lieutenant's commands lets get to it Wraith Squadron, ..... "

OOC: If any eye ball him back, ... "What the hell are you look at ! ?"  Regardless of the reply he walks to the next member of the squad. Doshi has never commanded before so he figures he just do what was done to him by his first squad leader, ... it kinda of worked for him.

He turns back to Lt. Cerise, "Excuse me Ma'am, I going to get my things ready as ordered." Again thing to himself 'I'm going to regret taking this assignment, ... I just fell it.'

"So I have to ask, is this a suicide posting?  Please don't take this the wrong way,I am no coward and will gladly give my life if necessary complete a mission and protect my comrades.  It just seems odd to me to have this many young recruits and aliens brought in for special operations when there are far more experienced pilots and crew out there.  Maybe it's my own paranoia, but something doesn't feel right about this"   He looks around again to make sure he hasn't drawn any unwanted attention, satisfied he hasn't he speaks more openly.

""So is there anything you can share about our orders?  We have two weeks liberty and I'd like to know whether or not it should be spent at the bar or just catching up on some R&R" he says with a weak grin.

Re: Starting Point

In reply to Kaarle Cherkovski (msg # 40):

"OK Kaarle, .... I don't know you, not yet at least, .... and I don't really care if they are green with pink poke-a-bots,"
Doshi says this as his eyes roll about as if its taking all his strength to pull the words out "they do their jobs and I do mine. And if any of them screw this up I will kill them myself."

"So if your worried about anyone, worry about keeping me alive so I can keep you alive."

"Now that I'm done off the record, I will go on the record, ... I know as much as you do and I feel the same way about the same issues. You may think I'm crazy to say it but yes on the record they are to young and aliens fighting on uncharted space by my side sucks, it's not exactly something I would do either, .... BUT I have my orders and I had my chance to back out and I think everyone had that same chance .... so, thanks for making my choice for Assistant Squad Leader that much easier," Doshi extend his right hand and arm on Kaarle's left shoulder, give it a little shake and grins .... Your It. Congraduation! your now just as responsible for them as I am." Doshi exhales with a long and dragged out sound almost on purpose, in a calmer tone and with excitement in his voice ... its almost like what he was saying before was for show, he pulls in a bit closer so only he can hear "Last thing, ... all that other stuff, get it out of your head ... stay in the game and we will do fine."

Attend Wraith Squadron, .... line up! 

"My name is Lt Doshi Morimoto, I'm your Squad Leader and Commander of Wraith Squadron, .... I'm a no non-sense kinda of guy and I can't lie so I don't, ... it's much easier to spit out the truth them to remember the fluff & lies. SO anyone have any questions?

"Hold on I almost forgot, I don't care to know your real names, the moment your left the Senior Commander's office you agreed to the terms, ... I only want your call signs, ... remember from the moment you said yes you stopped to exist so your names aren't important to anyone anymore."

"SO start calling me "Bushido" boys, girls that includes the rest of you as well" clear remarks on his thoughts of the younger members and the aliens.

Re: Starting Point

Once it is clear that no one has any further questions for her, Cerise heads to her assigned quarters; she puts her meager possessions into her locker, then heads back out to the logistics offices. There she requisitions a personal terminal (OOC: like a tablet computer) because she'll now need to keep track of all kinds of information and do lots of research. Once she has this in hand, she returns to her bunk and sits down to begin some work. She sits on her bunk with her SAD light beside her, plugged into the wall, dressed in the minimum clothing that she expects a human would find socially acceptable within quarters.

First she sends a message to Lt. Morimoto on the UEEF's SCI network (Whatever their equivalent to the JWICS is):
3rd Lieutenant Morimoto
Once you have made your selection for assistant squad leader, please advise me of who it is to be, so that I will be aware of your squad's structure.
Additionally, if you have any questions about our team's primary mission, I'd be happy to try to answer them.
2LT Cerise


Next she pulls up the specs for a Horizon-X shuttle, so that she can familiarize herself with her team's primary transport. (I'm assuming it is a lot like a Horizon-V, which, itself is much like a Horizon-T, but maybe the X means it has fold capability?)

After this she pulls up the dossiers of her team, to check on duty ratings; she'll need to know capabilities to know who can perform what functions and who can back them up.

Finally she calculates her munitions and supply needs on a per day basis, both for her Silverback and for the Horizon-X. To do this, she'll start with the pre-calculated spec requirements, which assume that the unit is being used in the main line battle, and augment those numbers where an inconsistent (and sometimes non-existent) supply line is going to make critical differences.

Re: Starting Point

In reply to Doshi Morimoto (msg # 41):

After listening intently to Doshi, somewhat surprised at his candor, he begins to realize just the kind of person Doshi is.  He looks at Doshi curiously as he touches his shoulder and tells him of his newest role.

"Well sir I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse having ever met you, in any case I will endeavour to keep you and rest of them alive as long as possible" he says with a wry grin on his face and a salute.<orange>"Thank you sir"

He steps back and begins to watch as Lt Doshi makes his announcement to the rest of the crew.  Most of his initial anxiety has vanished now as he watches his new commander take charge, he starts to look forward to the weeks ahead.

Looking at the other crew members he wonders just how things are going to work out, with no love for aliens or half breeds, and even less for kids his own age he knows it will be quite the challenge putting up with it all.

Regardless of everything he is ready for it, this is what he's wanted his whole life and soon he will be in the cockpit of his own Veritech fighter.  With that last thought the excitement is almost to much to bear.   Once things have died down and everyone is going about their own business he makes his way to his quarters.  There he drops off his belongings and gets everything put away neatly and makes his bunk.

Re: Starting Point

Zipped off?

 
quote:
As she walks down the hall to her room she is tense, "Never ceased to exist before.  Kinda ominous." she remarks to herself as she reaches the door.  Upon entering the room she is greeted with a single "Woof" as Sundiata stands and comes over to her.  She sits on her bed and absently scratches his huge head as she ponders the ramifications of not existing, "Sorry I got you into this buddy." she says, laying her head on the massive dog, "To be honest though I am glad you are here." Sundiata shakes his huge head and let's out a large dog sigh, then gives her a lick on the hand and lays there with her.


  GM: you left the dock area and headed off to her room. The offices are temp offices on the ship docks, while the processed the crew for the fleet. As there are six ships being loaded.

Re: Starting Point

Once done with his speech to Wraith Squadron Doshi heads out to Commander Rockatansky assistant to request his Recon Shadow Alpha the VF/A-6X Shadow Fighter and his cyclone - VR-052 Cyclone - T model for light assault, equipped with the standard EP-40 ion pulse pistol, and the - F version, CVR-3 body armor, speaking to the assistant "Please don't forget to paint that black for all Wraith Squadron Mechas". After, .....

Doshi grabs his personal stuff and heads to his room, ... he tosses his stuff on the bed looks around and walks back out leaving his stuff. He then heads to the Quarter Master to request some more items and gear, uniforms in black, a M-37 pistol and H-90 Rifle with extra ammo for each and coated in black.

Now That's done lets get to know my crew, ....

Doshi goes back to his room and puts his stuff away, as he makes himself comfortable he opens his lap top and accesses the personal profiles of those assign to him. With an apple in one hand and the lap top sitting on the bed he uses the audio feature and reviews the files.

In a soft automated computer tone, 'Kaarle Cherkovski' age xx, rank xx, etc etc etc. and so on, ..... Doshi is quiet and carefully listening to every detail, trying to put as much as possible to memory on each of his members, especially the skills and specialties, ... he also take a special interest in the reports from past commanders and squad leader.

Re: Starting Point

Once the introductions had been completed, Miriana wasted little time in getting to her room and setting up her locvker to have everything she wanted within easy reach. Once she was done, she placed the compact refrigerator net to it -- regretting not having anything to put in it yet -- and went to her bunk, placing the Perfect Vision Virtual Reality Interface on her head and lying down to play a game.

Reply message;

Lt Cerise,
Hope you did not mind me taking it to the squad earlier today. My intention was simple, to make sure that we were on the same page and they understand that an order is an order and that's what we do, follow orders and of course complete missions.

I think its everyone's goal to stay alive, ... so we can share our stories with our children's children.

I have indeed selected for the time being, Kaarle Cherkovski call sign 'Kchek' as the assistant squad leader, it seems we actually share some things in common and I think he will do fine.


I also would like to meet and discuss how you want me to handle things, just like I want my crew on my page, I want to be on yours.

Thinking to himself, ....
Great got that out of the way, ... I think I would have preferred an extraction from the dentist, ... I hope the purple grape understands. It's not that I don't like her I just don't like any of them.

As I have not currently been assigned a roommate, we can use my quarters as a temporary flight hq. Currently I'm preparing to handle our logistics needs; a task which can be interrupted at any time, if you would like to stop by to discuss our desires for the overall flight dynamics, as well as our expectations for how each section will be run.

Re: Starting Point

Having settled into his new bunk he decides it's best to change out of his old dress uniform and into his new fatigues.  When he sees Bushido enter the room he stands to attention giving a salute before returning to his task of getting dressed.  Once he has everything in order and is satisfied with his appearance he notices Bushido going on about his own business of listening to personnel files so he makes it a point to quietly slip out of the room.

Kchek makes his way to the Quarter Master to stock up on personal gear.  Once there he requests the following:

Gallant H-90 side arm with all attachments, 4 extra h-90 Protoculture Energy Clips, two flares, two smoke grenades, survival kit, canteen, flight suit, sunglasses, and UEEF Pilot's Survival/Floatation Vest.  He makes it clear everything must be in black, no markings of any kind.  Additionally he requests CVR-3M Personal Environmental Combat Armor and then asks to amend his previous request of a VF/A-7B  DELTA FIGHTER to also include VR-052T Infantry Assault Cyclone making it clear that it and the Veritch should be black with no markings.

With everything squared away and no other orders at this time he decides to make his way back to his room.

Re: Starting Point

Epiphany spends some time petting Sundiata, then changes into some sweats and a tank top, "Come on Sun, we gotta exercise and find you a place to do your business.  Never fed ya cafeteria food before but i am not looking forward to cleaning that mess up." she laughs playfully and begins jogging through the ship, making note routes she can take that make up a mile.  After running a mile she stops and does a strange workout routine that she calls slices of heaven, then runs some more.

OOC:  Slices of heaven are 20 pushups, kicks, situps, and punches.  Then 19, then 18, etc.
