Evan smiled as he drove the APC down the road, happy that the new recruits were getting along, or at least getting along as well as they could with a Darcsen in the group. Damn his sleep addled brain, he was clearly not thinking straight when he invited her along. Eh, might score him some points with the OTHER damn Darcsen that sent him on this mission, though. From the conversation in the back, though, it didn't sound like Bons had done a very good job of explaining the mission/situation to the greenhorns.

Banging on the crew compartment, Evan yelled back to said driver. [b]"Hey Bons! Take over drivin' for me, would ya? Gotta explain the mission to the new guys."[/b] Once the APC had pulled over and the two drivers had switched, Evan climbed into the APC and stood at the front with his foot up on one of the seats. He was tired and did not have the best judgement at the moment, so perhaps what he was about to do was not a good idea... But there was no way in hell he was going to give a boring briefing like the ones the Darcsen or the Captain. Raising his voice, he began his speech. 

[b]"Alright ladies and gentlemen, listen up. In a weeks time, the Gallian army will be launching an attack on the Imperials defending the city of Vasel. The imps will be dug in pretty well so to prepare for this attack, squads like us have been sent out to capture important crossroads, scout enemy positions, and potentially assist in the attack if the army starts losing too many soldiers."[/b] Well this wasn't working at all... Sure, he'd told them their task at hand, but it was turning out just the same as the Darcsen's briefings... Hmmm...

Raising his fist into the air, Evan began speaking in a much quicker and more spirited voice. For some reason, he'd always wanted to do something like this. [b]"Our Captain, our Army, OUR GREAT COUNTRY, HAVE GIVEN US THE TASK NOT TO LET THE ENEMY TO RETAKE OUR CROSSROADS AND TO SLAUGHTER ALL WHO APPROACH WITHOUT HESITATION OR MERCY!"[/b] A pothole in the road shook the entire APC and nearly sent Evan tumbling to the floor from his unstable position. Never the less, he maintained his balance and continued on, waving his arm out in front of him this time. [b]"THE IMPERIALS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO SQUAD 4! IF ANY RETURN TO FIGHT US, WE WILL CUT THEM DOWN AND SQUASH THEM LIKE THE DISGUSTING INSECTS THEY ARE! AND WHEN THE MAIN ARMY DOES FALTER, IT WILL BE OUR JOB TO PICK UP THE PIECES. IT WILL BE SQUAD [i]FOUR[/i] THAT CAPTURES VASEL AND GAINS THE RESPECT AND ADORATION OF THE ENTIRE NATION! DOES AAAAANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!?"[/b]

After answering any questions that came to the best of his abilities, Evan sat back down and chuckled to himself. For some reason he'd always wanted to do something like that. After chugging half of his canteen (his throat was thoroughly parched now), Evan banged on the drivers compartment again. [b]"Hey, make sure not to hit any more o'those potholes, Bons. Ya nearly tossed me outta the APC."[/b] Said ribbing of the driver completed, Evan sat back and closed his eyes, hoping to get at least a little nap in before they got back to the crossroads.

[b]"DARCSEN!"[/b] Evan crashed through the door to the house that the majority of squad 4 was holed up in. Following behind him were the trio of recruits... and Bons. Waving over to the sergeant (who again looked thoroughly displeased with his entrance), Evan made a grandiose bow and stepped aside to showcase the new group of people who would be joining them. [b]"I come bearing gifts in the form of more peons! Hey girls,... and guy. This is Sergeant Harald, otherwise known as Darcsen. Darcsen, these are..."[/b] Evan motioned for the group to introduce themselves. Would probably be best to get everyone acquainted ASAP. Once the introductions were finished, Evan thumbed towards the west side of the crossroads. [b]"In case you're wonderin', we parked the APC behind one of the buildings over there. Figured the imps would be less likely to spot it when it's on our side of the buildings. Now. What else ya want from me?"[/b] 

The power nap had done wonders for Evan, and even though he knew it would only last for a short while, he fully intended on making the most of his (temporarily) renewed energy. Bringing Bons along had turned out to be a great idea. They'd even made good time, arriving a couple hours after noon, rather than in the evening that Evan had expected. Things (at least for his mini-mission) had surprisingly gone better than planned.
