Soma looked up and took a deep breath, and returned the salute before commenting [color=ed1c24]"At ease, both of you."[/color] before leaning forward, hands on her desk. [color=ed1c24]"I'll briefly go over this one more time. I've already explained it, and I don't think either of you were chosen for this squad without having a brain in your head. So let me make this absolutely clear. This squad does not operate like a normal Flag Squad. We don't follow the same protocol. We act where the rest of the Union cannot. A knife in the dark, that is how they describe us. Every mission we undertake is to be assumed classified, unless you are told otherwise. The only reason I am wanting to make this so painfully clear, is because this squad is so different. We'll be doing plenty of things I assume you are accustomed to. But when the time comes, we are practically a cover team. Understood?"[/color]

She then sat up and crossed her arms behind her back. [color=ed1c24]"Assuming you understand all this, and aren't going to turn and run out the door at the thought of not following the protocol you're accustomed to, then we can get to what today is all about. I presume that your Flags are combat ready?"[/color]
