[color=662d91]"Aww, hell,"[/color] Wes said in response to the the new arrival of their latest member. 

She was greener than a four leaved clover and had half the luck. From the way she brought herself, she looked straight out of training. He had been about to respond to Lin, about how they were all regulars once, but the rookie had decided to interrupt that conversation. From the little information he had heard, she hadn't even had one bout of combat. 

Soldiers without combat experience always ruined a mission. There was nothing worse than going on an important mission while at the same time babysitting a 'cruit. The same could be said for any kind of force, ground, air, space, it didn't matter, rookies didn't know shit. But at least she wasn't one of [i]those[/i] rookies straight out of boot. The kind that thought they knew everything because they had gone through what every other soldier had gone through in basic. 

Wes almost wanted to just go back to reading through his data pad, ignore the whole thing and continue reading the book he had downloaded. Acquiring a taste for reading is just another thing he learned in War. There isn't much to do on a bulky bucket of rust in space other than to work out or shoot at the range. Thus, the UEE had done something right and gave free access to their extensive library. Still had to pay for movies and shit. Unless you were smart and pirated them or copied them off other pads. 

[color=662d91]"At ease that shit, recruit. None of us are really officers,"[/color] he said, grunting as he stood up slowly from sitting against the hard crate. He was pretty sure the shipment inside was a bunch of cigars or fine steaks, because it had 'precious' and 'officer staff' on the label.  He let out a sigh before continuing, taking up the job of introducing everyone. [color=662d91]"Blah, blah, welcome to the Lincoln, blah blah... These are your squad mates, our local Frenchman,"[/color] he said pointing at Delacroix. [color=662d91]"Next is the other new guy, Trapp."[/color] A finger pointed at August. [color=662d91]"He's our new squad leader. I guess."[/color]

[color=662d91]"Right there's a rabbit in disguise,"[/color] he said pointing at Lin, still lying on the crate over McKnight. [color=662d91]"Underneath her is ye old McKnight, who won the award last year for best last name in the service. Sourpuss over there is Astelion. Don't piss him off, newbie."[/color] 

Wes shrugged slightly. He hadn't really felt much over the death of their old squad leader. Sure, she was a nice woman and all, but really she hadn't given much impact as a leader. [color=662d91]"I have no idea where the Russian is. Don't piss him off either, he'll eat you 'cause he's a bear."[/color] Wes looked back towards Yuu. [color=662d91]"Yuh-yoo- fuck it, Echo is our local Jap. She's got a fancy mechanical eye,"[/color] he said with a jerk of his head towards her. [color=662d91]"Alice is probably stuck in the system, likely talking to the shipboard AI. She's a robot."[/color] He pointed towards Trent. [color=662d91]"He's a wizard."[/color]

[color=662d91]"Lastly, you've got Maki over there. Don't fall for it."[/color] He whispered towards Ariana, [color=662d91]"She's a big Honey Trap."[/color] He stopped and looked back towards everyone, who likely were pissed off at his mockery of an introduction. [color=662d91]"Did I miss anyone?" [/color]
