Sooo... you guys alive?

I'll give you guys another day to post, then I'll move everyone on. If Paul and Aaron aren't introduced by then, then we'll have to have them meet the squad on the road to Randgriz.

A bemused smile spread across Duncan's face as Freya stumbled over her words. **'I can deal with close combat if I have to, but I'm not so... spry as some of you young ones. Besides, three bullets to the face can take anything down, anything at all, faster than a sword can.'** He paused at the entrance to the comm room, giving her a slightly saddened grin. **'And I do enjoy me some female company, even if the only ones I ever get are untouchable...'** Whatever reply Freya might have given was cut off by Syrus' introduction, saving him a bit of effort. **'Well, aside from Syrus and Xerox who you've met, we have... well, I suppose we have quite a few names to share. Once we've got the contact sorted, I'll pull everyone together for a meet and greet; I'd like to talk to everyone anyway.'** He wasn't able to reply to Syrus' question, partly because he simply didn't know but mainly due to the intercom crackling to life. _Not bad timing,_ he thought dryly. _Right on schedule too and with the correct passphrase._ She sounded a bit young though... As Duncan reached over to answer, he was barged out of the way by Syrus; clearly he knew their contact, which could be a disaster if it meant an intel leak. **'Syrus.'** Duncan placed one hand on his former student's shoulder, giving him a meaningful glare. **'May I remind you of a certain something called operational security..? Stand aside a moment.'** Stepping past his errant subordinate, Duncan pressed the intercom switch and gave the pre-agreed response. **'Bitebugs come from all over this time of year. Door code is Alpha-three-three-seven, come on down'** Shutting the intercom off, Duncan took a heavy step back to look Syrus dead in the eye. **'... Well? How the hell do you know our contact in the _Galbadian fucking Army?!_'** It would only be a matter of seconds until the contact arrived, but he wasn't about to let something this big go.

Since she's technically Syrus' senior and probably one of his former teachers, she could have a go at him for overreacting? Or else she could talk to Duncan, ask him why she had been assigned to the mission? Basically anything goes atm.

Sorted. You guys are the survivors of Squad... 9. Dunno why 9, it just sounds appropriate. If you read back to my last post, the Captain just shivved a sniper. I reckon that having them in that area to talk to him and Varrot would be a good idea.

Git in dere my son. Postage will be tomorrow. Again. Sorry. If anyone else wants to post, go ahead. Once Mei is settled and such, we'll be moving on to the next day, probably... next week some time? In the meantime Zarkun, I'd say to go ahead and bring Jericho and Gracelyn back so as to keep you in the loop.

I'll hold off on posting then; might be worth having Paul and Aaron be the last survivors of another squad.

No worries caliban, I got the gist of of. Paladin, accepted on the understanding that he will never actually awaken his Valkryria powers. I'd like to keep this RP about the normal soldiers.

Sure, up to you. Either way I'll try to post a bit later.

They haven't got it just yet, I'm waiting on Spade to post. If he doesn't by tomorrow, I'll have the Captain's group steal an APC and meet up with Harald's group; I can then have them find Paul and set up a good place for your intro post. How's that sound?
