Security Officer[/h3][/color][/center][hr]
In the back corner of the Situation Room, a decorated warrior stood at attention, keenly listening to the senior officers discussing the sudden crisis at hand. Blue light glinted off half a dozen badges of recognition as he pulled out his tablet to write notes. The wise, noble veteran focused with laser-like intensity as Beta Team discussed their strategy, waiting patiently for his turn to suggest Alpha Team's tactics.

Also standing next to him was some dude named Rod.

The muscular young human stood tall at attention in this serious atmosphere, though he couldn't help repeatedly tensing and relaxing his fists from the sheer adrenaline rush. He stole a moment to glance down at the phaser on his holster, currently set to Safety. How awesome it would be to finally set it to Kill... and against space pirates, no less!

Rod Jvwuwh'veivoirehnegqgtuiun took a deep breath and forced himself to stand still like a statue. He was still on his first voyage with the ISA, after all. The soldier had to stay on good behavior if he wanted to move from boring guard duty to a real mission. Especially a stealth mission. He would need to move through the shadows like a silent hunter, eyes and ears ever focused on the- ohh hey, who was that hot older redhead who just signed up for Alpha?

[color=ed1c24]"You can crawl along [i]my[/i] underside,"[/color] Rod muttered with a sly grin.

Instantly, like a sixth sense, Rod swore he felt the eyes of his superior burning into his skull. Dammit, he didn't mean to think that out loud. Rod straightened up again and acted natural, not daring to check if anyone was actually staring at him.

Blah blah blah, more Team Beta stuff.

Wait, incendiary grenade? He knew that word. He KNEW it...it was... fire! The fire bombs! Rod allowed a small grin and glanced at the other security personnel, but they didn't seem to be paying attention to that. The tanned man took it upon himself to grab his pen and write 'insendary grenad' on the back of his hand. There. That would be his own heroic contribution to Team Alpha!
