It didn't take long for Alex to jump into her pod, as Patel moved to his as fourth Squad prepared for deployment. Morrision finally was woken up as his pod began to eject, the skinny and short man who donned glasses was pulled out of the pod. His face glazed with sleep as he slowly rose from the pod, whilst being hoisted up by few med-techs. The man found himself stretching out on the floor as he couldent find the energy to stand, Patel took the time to give him a playful kick in the ribs. "Welcome back to the land of the living!" Patel exclaimed to Morrison as he picked himself up, finally. Morrision grumbles about something and begins to stumble off, Patel chuckles to himself as the squad begins to enter the pods on their own with Patel entering the pods last.

Alex quickly pulled herself into the pod, entering the technological cocoon as she strapped herself in. The woman found herself drifting from her consciousness in The Hump and soon found herself in Syria where the rest of her company was. It was day time for sure, just a few hours before lunch as Alex looked up to the sky. The blue skies in Syria was uncommon, since there was so much conflict, so much death it was unimaginable to see a respite in such a now torn and gloomy country. She looked around and saw she was around her squadmates, and she was standing as "Slayer". It took a few minutes to go over the ACE, it seemed very little ammo and action was seen during the last shift. Some rebels were engaged but ultimately they got away, they got the message not to mess with the Tin Men. However, it felt as if they might come back.

Shaking off the concerns of another attack, Alex walked up to her squad mates who were briefing for today's shift. After the briefing and a comms check the group went to regroup with the other squads. Alex checked her M240B, making sure the belt was feeding properly into the machine gun. It didn't take long for Elton's squad to meet up with the fourth, there was tension between the group and Alex definetly felt that as she awaited further orders from the Lieutenant. The sun blasted down on the troopers, good thing they coulden't feel it but the ground definetly looked like it was on fire. The area was rather quiet as the troopers settled in, a sign of whats to come.
