Greg awoke with a start. He leapt to from his bed sweating and panting. He had another one of his nightmares that he didn't dare tell the others about. He got up out of bed and walked out to his locker to begin suiting up. As he put on his armour it reminded him of when he was offered to be a MEC trooper for the first time, to which he 'politely' replied no. The reason he had turned down the offer was because he didn't think he would have to give up his humanity to beat another inhuman enemy. He was confident in his power as a man and nothing else. While most would see it as a disadvantage he saw it as an advantage being that he would need to train just that much more to be on par with his comrades.

After he finally put in his heavy armour he ran to get his weapons which he kept under his bed due to it making him feel more prepared for an attack. With his weapons now in his arms and holster he ran to the hanger bay occasionally saying hello to passing by staff. When he finally got there he yelled out "I'm not last am I?" Being the Assault of the squad being last would be pretty bad on your record.
