Daniel nodded to Frankie. "Yeah... It's pretty out here, I got a chopper ride in from the airport. It's pretty different to Fort Bragg." He added, obviously comfortable discussing home. "Sorry if I came little overprotective of my gear, it's just usually we gotta tell every clerk on base the rules with it. The 'toys' we use in my line of work are about as top end as it gets." He explained, skirting the subject of who he actually worked completely as usually.

"I am surprised with it all, I'm right out of the military myself so this is a hell of lot nicer than we usually get." He yawned loudly. "Of course, I've been awake now... Twenty or so hours, much as I like an all nighter, I can't wait to find my bunk." He added looking at Frankie, the guy seemed nice so he figured he might as talk for awhile. "As for the operator, I like the diversity but I look at this stuff and I have to wonder why they sent a sniper... I mean I'm also a drone and comm's specialist, though I suppose I have done a lot of anti-terrorist work in the past." He relaxed looking at his pack of smokes, thinking about one. "Oh, and you got a sat phone anywhere around here? I wanna call my sister and daughter, let them know I got here safe and sound." He added without much else to say.

Bran pushed back from the table still not saying a word. He was here to save people and try to show that Faunus could work with humans. He followed Mikoto out quietly, not really caring much for getting to know the team right now it was mostly Fang supporting Faunus here. He took another route to reach the landing pad, wanting to avoid the mech, he had bad memories of the clanking machines. Bran was one of the first to arrive at the bullhead, needle and thread in hand he was sewing what looked to be a velvet scarf in a darker shade of red that would pair well with his jacket and cloak to bring out his naturally red hair.

The swordsman kept his eye's focused on his needle work, the garment he been almost done before he started, finished that he reached into his pockets producing a sealed case. Opening it to reveal spools of rolled dust thread, opening a slot on his blade he inserted ice, earth, fire, and simple high tension thread to the line thrower at the base of the sword. Placing the blade on his back scarf around his neck as his cloak blew softly in the wind, the young man waited for take off feeling out of place here.

Daniel was still cradling his rifle while getting his marching orders, to take his gear down to a drop point and have it check. He hoped they knew his tech wasn't allowed to be toyed with, GST didn't share there toys with anyone no matter the reason. He turned and stepped off to drop his equipment, more than anything he wanted a bunk he'd he was jet lagged and tired. He'd gone from his house at Fort Bragg to the airport then straight into a an overnight flight.

It had sucked, his transfer meant yet again his daughter was staying with his sister while he was off on a business trip. He hated lying to Katie he wanted to stay home and be a parent but being a soldier changed that, while this might not have been his usual gig he was going to do best he could. Finally arriving at the G.M.D. He laid his rifle on the table, speaking opening as he pulled off his sunglasses. "Daniel Matthews, Spectre, USA, special transfer." He added, knowing he wasn't allowed to talk about his work because it had never happened for all they were allowed to know he was mercenary.

"Don't touch the sights, just dialed them in before I left." He warned the clerk, before laying his sidearm on the table, next retrieving his drone. "Be careful with the little guy, he's worth more than I make in a year." He grinned setting the hover drone down on the table. Next he got out his eye piece and cross comm, laying it down on the table. "Whole thing is classified so no pictures. He next laid down the magnetic's sensors he had with him as well, before turning looking at the others who were there.

He decided to just move to the far wall and check his phone, maybe call his daughter and let her know daddy was okay. He sighed and just unlocked it staring at a photo of the two of them sitting on the porch swing, it was hard to believe she was four years old now. He wondered then smiled putting his shades back on and looking at the box of smoke's in ammo pouch thinking about having one.

Ability:

Equipped with the last cross com, these high tech comms offer HUD capabilities, advanced enemy tracking, and mapping meaning a lack of intel is no longer an issue.

Psychological Profile:

Daniel no longer associates with his own name as much as does the call sign Spectre, as a ghost he works well with a unit or solo. As most of our unit’s operate with little in the way of oversight Daniel is exactly the kind of person you want when you need it done. Brutal, self reliant, and paranoid everything the GST needs in an operator, this might not be a perfect fit for team Rainbow. However having an operator who can provide overwatch and specializes in stealth is an asset, not a liability.

Joining the military out of college Daniel started out an army a combat engineer, however his marksmanship and talent with drones brought him to our attention. At age twenty five Daniel joined the army rangers, two missions, and a confirmed kill at just over two thousand meters saw him invited into GST. While he feels this transfer to a more controlled environment is unfitting, he does believe in mission, perhaps moreso however he wants to help team Rainbow take revenge.

Background:

Born in Jacksonville South Carolina, Daniel grew up under an abusive father and absent father his mother a junkie. Living in a trailer park, hiding from his drunken father’s beatings and listening to his mother cry as took them instead. Daniel found an escape through school, using his ability to learn as an escape from his terror filled time at home. However, this ended in the second grade for Daniel, having stolen a neighbor's cell phone, packed a bag with food and forty dollars he made his move.

Escaping his family's trailer then hiding in the bed of a truck he made it to a nearby gas station, where he called the police away from his father. Munching on junk food, he was picked up an hour and half later returning the phone and giving the neighbor the money to apologize. His father and mother went to jail of possession charges, leaving Daniel a ward of the state. He spent a few years in an orphanage first, still excelling in learning, Daniel was twelve before he finally adopted officially by a family.

It is from here he takes his last name Matthews, Daniel new family supported and cared for him were quite excited when he was accepted to college. His adoptive father passed away while he was in school, and realizing he needed to relieve some financial stress putting two children through college was imposing Daniel signed on with the army who paid the rest of his way through school.

Becoming adept in using the latest tech offered to the army from drone marking to advanced map readout. He became obsessed with finding access to better tech, redoubling his efforts on and off the battlefield, he became a ranger and even more impressive sniper. If this seems to gloss over his time as a ghost it because it must, as you know director GST does not exist. Their for every mission or medal they could have earned does not either.

Daniel does however have access to much advanced tech now combining his cross comm with new sensor tech, advanced aerial drone, and marksman. Spectre is his owner,spotter and team management feeding intel on the fly, trained to improvise and adapt as well he will be able to mold into your new team, try not lose him or the gear.

However you are allowed to know the countries he visited, and things that happened while he was traveling in those countries. Twenty six weapon shipments hijacked or destroyed while in Mexico over a six week eight months ago. Four American doctor’s rescued in Somalia while he was in lay over in the country one and half years ago. Russian consular protected from terrorist attack while meeting with US adviser on Russian soil four weeks ago. Of course we are not implying he had anything to do with these events, merely he was in the country.

Bran Brass

Bran had turned the corner putting in his head phones on, it was a walk to the briefing room and he didn't want to speak to anyone. Faunus and human along shot him dirty looks, as he stepped passed a group of Mistral soldiers who spun suddenly slamming his fist into Bran's jaw. "Damn traitor! Humans fight for humanity!" He spat kicking out at Bran's stomach, this guy had asked for it, Bran thought tasting blood from his cracked lip. He twisted his body to avoid the kick dropping sweeping his legs out from underneath him.

He crashed to the to floor but with a fast spin the short boy brought leg back around slamming his heel into his chest, hard enough only to knock the wind out of him. "I'm not human... I'm a half breed, I fight for my family."

Turning to walk away three more soldiers walked over, these were Mistral goons the worst of the bunch in Bran's opinion he saw them as the worst racists and bigots. The first activated a baton. "You beat one of our own half breed." The one in the lead grinned. "Gonna have to discipline you for that."

Bran cracked his neck pulled his sword off his back and tossed it aside as the three spread out all of them branding stun batons. "This isn't fair... It's seven on three." He told them pulling his headphones on and finally playing a song. "I promise I'll keep this dance short ladies, I got places to be."

Bran stepped back snapping his fingers seven off the short hot tempered boy appeared, each one straightening his suit and looking the others. The one lead soldier rushed forward as Bran the original tucked his hands into his pockets, jumping back to avoid the hit as one his grabbed another hand, tossing foot first into the guard.

The four others Bran's advance cracking there knuckles as Bran turned walk on towards meeting letting the other six beat down the guard. Faunus nodding to him as his clones formed back up sliding back into him as he walked into the building heading towards briefing room five-oh-dee. Humming along as he walked in dusting off his black red pin striped suit. He took a seat tapping his fingers a moment before the song ended and he took off the head phones silencing them, looking to the others around the room.

Mai & Ariin

---

Paladin nodded, as he looked at the tech. "I was going attempt hardline contact then use force codes to attempt to swap Ariin and my mind back into correct positions." He looked to the device. "Though it would be better to know first if my pilot is alive or dead, as it would help manage risk." He moved closer to the frame running a hand over it.

"It's strange to touch it... I felt so much more natural inside yet in this body, it took days to master basic motion control. It is a wonder that Ariin can fight and manuever as he does like this." He paused and looked at the two others. "I assume you both wish to have begin right away?" He spoke as he climbed into the frame and began the boot up going slow checking every system twice.

Nodding, both Mai and Jake followed "Paladin" into the cockpit. There, both carefully manuvered inside as to not disrupt the process of doing the normal sync up procedures.

While inside, both Mai and Jake did their parts when told to by "Paladin". Mai then plugged in the tech at a recommended port by it's pilot. There, she then placed the speakers nearby while starting up the tablet.

"...Mai...I know this is a bad time but...was..."Seven" born in a similar manner?", Jake then asked as he assisted checking equipment.

"...well...if you must know...it...wasn't by being grazed by a Cruxi superweapon...Seven was born through basic combat stress...", Mai replied as she started up the program on the tablet.

Jake just stopped asking questions there as he continued his work but Mai continued.

"...at the time..."certain" high up members within command were desperate for quality pilots in which they looked for those born from greatness. In this case, my "Ace" of a mother...after she was...gone...they turned to me and Caulder felt I'd fit in with the Helldivers..."

"...I know war is hell...but jesus...", Jake said, using his imagination to fill in the rest of the blanks.

"I imagine you can use YOUR imagination after that...trial by fires...then one battle...scared out of my mind..."Seven" was born...soon, I just let her do all the work while I quietly slept within my part of my own mind...the only difference was that instead of switching places like Ariin and Paladin..."

"...you got a split-personality disorder", Jake finished.

"...I think because of your presence and perhaps even before that on Joppa, most of the pilots in squad Sigma have figured that out...Zim especially and perhaps Serah...but it was also that unique case that led to this tech...one of the other "numbers" developed it to help me and perhaps others with unique cases of sync faults to help cope but again, some thought it was a hoax...or perhaps unnecessary..."

Mai then started up the program.

"...ok I'm in...and don't mind the creepy voices you may hear. All the time though, they're just random noises...heck, none of it sounds like words...but I'm hoping the one were looking for actually speaks."

Putting on her headset, Mai then looked at "Paladin".

"Ok...going to poke around frequencies in this framework. Ready?"

Paladin nodded. "Of course... I thank you Mai, I know you were not close to Ariin but he thinks a lot of the others. He might not be the strongest or the best pilot, but Ariin is loyal to his team, to you all. I know for a fact he would have stormed back here demanded we give chase." He listened for any meaningful words or noise's but nothing, so he continued to speak.

"He thinks of Elora and Sigma like his little sisters. While this might surprise you, he thinks of the unit as a family. Sisters and brothers protecting each other for there own important reasons. I used to think his logic flawed as that would mean protecting other over the mission... Yet now, I see he was right. Survivial is victory." He said then stopped, as he heard clapping over the frequency.

"Hey the tin can gets it! Now can someone get me out of here... Seriously I'm getting really tired of having to watch my memories. It's like a dime store novel crap without some cheesy narrator. Also tin can... Glad to hear you agree with me." Spoke Ariin though slightly garbled through static. "Also Mai, whose your friend? I don't have eyes really... Wait let me guess! Your brother? Boyfriend?" One could almost feel his smile through the radio. "But anyway, how long have I been in here? Feels like years."

Paladin sighed. "I had hoped your extended stay in there would dampen your up beat attitude it can be exhausting for all involved." He grumbled as he looked at Mai. "Though I am glad you are alive."

Mai just gave a smile at Ariin's response. Even with the static, he was coming in loud and clear. Jake though had a slight look of surprise on him.

"...I won't lie. I felt like I just ate pie", Jake rhymed.

"Seriously?", Mai responded with a look.

"Well after finding him nearly right off the bat with nothing but theories and guesswork, I just became more of a believer of this stuff. I do I do I do."

Mai just slowly shook her head but with a smile on her face. Speaking into the mic on her headset, she said, "No Ariin. He's none of the above. He's a...fellow wingmen back in the day when I did a brief run with the Recon division. Full name is Jake Armstrong."

"Word up Ariin", Jake called.

"Damn it don't talk about food... I miss food. Anyway, I assume your planning on getting me out, well I might be able to help I think I can get out the same way I came in... Well if this is even works in reverse." Ariin sighed thinking for a second. "So question, did my body get super powers from the radiation?"

Paladin groaned and spoke into the mic. "Now Ariin your body did not gain super powers from radiation that's not possible."

Ariin chuckled at his own joke and then finally asked his real question. "So what happened after Paladin and I went all psycho and tried to fight the massive super weapon?"

Both Mai and Jake look at each other before Mai turned back to her mic on the headset.

"...despite collateral damage and casualties...we won...but...during the battle, Elora unlocked some special abilities that made her a force to be reckoned with...that's when a...Cruxi Ace with special abilities of it's own showed up...and took her..."

There was a bit of silence before Mai looked down. Trying to control herself since "Seven" wasn't mentally there at the moment to do so for her.

"...we lost...a few pilots from Squad Sigma in the process...I was in a coma...", Mai began but couldn't continue. Heck, she didn't even want to name the ones lost.

Normally, Jake would have since intel like that was his specialty but even he thought better of it. Even more so since Jake knew full well that without "Seven", Mai was mentally unbalanced when it came to talking about the horrors of this war...and perhaps other issues.

"Damn... That's not good..." Ariin spoke from the other end. "I assume were going after Elora then? Look Mai... I know it's hell out there trust me I saw some shit growing up in the mega cities on Mars but we are gonna get through this. Hell I'm quite literally my brain getting digitized! I made a promise to myself I was gonna keep my squad safe, your on that team Mai."

Paladin nodded as well. "I can confirm Ariin is telling the truth."

"No matter what happens, we count on each other and stick together we can do this. We will get Elora back. We will beat the Cruxi. Then I get to go sit a prison cell until... Huh maybe things go better for me if we don't end the war." Joke the thief as sighed. "I remember hearing 'Seven' on the comm's Mai don't let her rule your head. Your the one I want piloting, not your brain mate... Cause your my friend." He said trying to cheerful and up beat as one could be while trapped inside a digital program that could be eroding memories.

"...and like it or not Ariin..."Seven" is apart of me...and the whole reason why I'm still going till this point...I don't know when she'll return since that coma really knocked a few screws loose in my head...but I have a feeling she'll at least agree with you believe it or not...she's just there to...make those tough decisions when the time and situation comes for it...", Mai responded.

"...for better or worse huh?...well...roll with the punches as they say", Jake then said.

"...Ariin...much like what your going through with Paladin, Seven...also had some diffiulties at first but even she adjusted...what were planning to do here though...is more risky though", Mai then said.

"Ariin. It's Jake. Long story short, were going to attempt a Hardline. We just wanted to get a "lock" of sorts with Mai's tech here so...well in theory, if we got your frequency and know where you are in this framework then the success rate goes up...course, it's just theory. But as I said, were having a chat with you here so...here's hoping."

"Alright then... Beam me out Scotti!" He said, hiding the terror with a cheerful joke. "And if I don't make... I will haunt your frames!" He added, teasingly, trusting they would get him through this.

Mai then looked at Jake who nodded to her. She then looked at Paladin.

"Alright then. Paladin. We got Ariin on this frequency...now I just hope this works..."

"Wait. If we try this with your tech plugged in, could it be possible that Ariin could wind up in that tablet?", Jake suddenly asks.

"There's a failsafe on this thing to prevent that. Again, don't ask...my "contact" seemed to know what was going on somehow and made sure that we were ready for such an attempt. Said contact did say that I could unplug it before the Hardline attempt but that'll mean that, in this case, "Paladin" would have to mentally stay on Ariin's frequency...which is not as easy as it may sound."

Mai then added, "But by the end of the day, it comes down to this...whatever we do, we have to decide now..."

Paladin reached over carefully taking the plug and inserting into slot just above the robotic eye, with a deep breath he gave the order. "Full sync online." With that, all hell broke loose. Paladin, gave a scream then began to convulse the cable held however as the began to change, more emotion as the scream turned to laughter. The Frame itself shook as if being driven before it all stopped and body of Ariin slumped over, breathing faintly.

It took about five minutes but slowly the electronic eye came into focus as opened his real one. "Hey... Ow... I feel as bad bad when got a knife stuck in my brain." Ariin spoke then turned his head quickly. "Huh... But..." His eyes went wide and groaned again. "Oww... I might need a check up... I can swear I still hear the Tin can talking at me."

"..."

Mai just seemed to stare at Ariin during those five minutes while Jake was checking over the framework systems to make sure everything was back online. One things for sure though. Jake saw Mai real freak out briefly or Ariin's convolsions before he saw something himself.

The way Mai's eyes suddenly rolled...as if she had a brief siezure or something...but Jake had seen that symptom before. It was only once back in the day when Mai was working with the Recon division.

And how she began checking over Ariin's body after he had regained conscience...that dead serious look.

And her "drone" voice.

"Mission Accomplished. Ariin is back in his body but comments from cadet Ariin suggest he may have a similar problem to...myself."

She then slowly turned her head to Jake.

"...uh...heh...hi Seven", Jake said with a smile.

"...Jake...I require assistance. Ariin does need medical attention. I also must put away the tech that helped with the mission success. Lorenzo or Ritsu or perhaps others maybe...displeased that I brought such equipment into the base without authorization", Seven droned.

"Wha-? You mean you didn't have it...nevermind. I'll put it in the backpack. Let's just get Ariin to medical."

Nodding, "Seven" then helped Ariin to his feet while Jake quickly put Mai's tech toy back in it's backpack. Slinging it on his back, Jake then assisted "Seven" with escorting Ariin to the medical bay.

"Hey Seven..." Ariin stood up slowly leaning on the two as he tried to focus. "Ugh... I swear being a cyborg is not all it's cracked up to be... Granted holo-graphic projector and the ability see through clothing is a plus an... Oww. Right shutting up... Paladin hates it when I make up crap." He groaned again letting them take him to medical.

@Hypnoid Hey that's Torchwick's map... Now I'm sad because I'm remembering one of my favorite characters is dead.
