One by one the group introduced themselves. Somehow Scott knew that Dr. Sigmund would interject, that man almost couldn't get enough of himself. Arrogance can only take you so far in the social realm, but he knew that if he had even half of the qualifications the doctor had then he might be arrogant too. After the brief introduction, Sabre 03 Phayne stood up and did the same. The contrast was almost comical. Here was this hulking mountain of a man that could break several bones in each of our bodies if he really wanted to struggling to talk about himself. He was modest, and hard working. He would be a valuable asset to the team, as long as his empathy didn't cloud his judgement. Next in line was Sabre 04 Garron. Almost as if it was a contest, Garron made his introduction the shortest one yet. It is understandable that neither he nor Sabre 06 Orion would be much for talk, and Scott half expected them not to say anything at all since it was that hard just to interview them prior. Communication is a key component of any team however, and it was the leader's intent to make sure there were no obstacles preventing this. That includes during down time.

Then, all the way on the other side of the room, a marginally higher voice spoke up. Sabre 09 Bridges, arm raised and poised at attention, had asked a question. having already spoken to her before, Scott knew that socially there would be far fewer problems with her than there would be tactical problems. Hopefully after a few missions she would understand exactly what she had gotten into, and find her niche in the spec-ops environment. Answering her question, Scott replied, [color=f7941d]"I didn't mention anything about an ascending or descending order. I simply said 'lowest number is in charge'. I'm the lowest number, so I'm in charge. That's all there is to it. To put it another way, you are all on equal footing and take orders from me, unless I temporarily grant the power to give orders to someone to meet the circumstances."[/color] With a slight welcoming gesture of the hand, he continued, [color=f7941d]"Now, since we're having a conversation why don't you go next?"[/color] A faint smile formed across his face as he crossed his arms and waited for a response.
