Krauss returned the handshake and said with a smile. "Well Sergeant, it seems we have our work cut out for us. We are in for one hell of a ride." 

"Well then..." Krauss stood up next to Sergeant Harald gave a nod to the squad as they assembled. "I'm Corporal Krauss Helfer, and as the good Sergeant here said, I will be your deputy squad leader. On top of that I will be the Sniper of your squad. I feel confident in saying I'm a crack shot, so you scouts best tell me when you see a target of interest. Was in the actual army for a little while, now I've been in the Militia for two years now, saw this was inevitable, joined up early, so my gear is all set. Don't mind my accent though, I ain't no spy for the Empire." he said in good humor. "No but really, please don't accidentally shoot me during some night op when I call out friendly." he said, now only half joking. He was somewhat cut off by the sound of a distant explosion, the general crowd went quiet for a little bit before returning to the usual talking. "Well now, looks like the Empire's scouts are becoming a bit more troublesome.... Anyways, I do hope you will all function well as squad."
