MY FINGERS ARE READY FOR HOT POSTING ACTION
@Holy SoldierAh okay, there were two things that could have been refereed to as "the cadaver" so I was confused.
@ShaggyDoo0@Holy Soldier

Actually on that note, did we grab the prisoner or not? I don't think Bill mentioned it?
Krista Reynolds



Krista was too caught up trying to attach names to faces to remember to salute. By the time she'd had stopped spacing out it was already too late, and she focused on paying attention to what the girl had to say. There was one line that caught her attention though.

"But I'll let you know before we get any misunderstandings; I may be young, but I've fought on the front-lines for four years, and have earned these badges fair and square. So I won't be hearing anyone call me disrespectful stuff like child or brat!"


Krista gasped when it sunk in. "Just how young was she started fighting? People called me young when I was recruited... Her thoughts were interrupted by trio's sibling-like antics. "Well, they don't look too bad. Pretty chill, it seems." she thought. A small smile crept onto her face as she watched them.

"Sheesh," she finally sighed while wiping her forehead in relief once Dari left and she was once again in control of the briefing. "Anyone I catch giggling or even smirking will get twenty!" She put her hands to her hips once again. "Anyway, looks like nobody else has questions, so you're dismissed...except for Cadets Twilight, Armstrong, Reynolds and Sorus-no, 'Paladin'. You will stay."

Once the others left, Elise gave the remaining pilots a harsh scolding. "When a superior greets you with a salute, you show respect by saluting back! And since you jokers didn't, it means you don't care if I'm your commanding officer. So as punishment, give me forty!"


Krista recoiled at the announcement of the punishment. She covered up her mouth to try and hide her smirk but she feared it was too late. Less than a day and she'd already messed up badly.

Elise's eyes darted in Krista's direction like arrows, stinging deeply as she briskly walked over to her. "Did I say something funny, Cadet Reynolds? You think I'm just joking around, huh? Look me in the eye, pilot!" She then ordered, her cheeks puffed up.

Krista forced herself to stand still as she turned head downwards to meet Elise's eyes. "Oh goodness she looks like my cousins when they want candy." She kicked herself even as she let out a small snorting giggle. "No M'am, I'm really sorry M'am," she said with a twang, "you guys just really reminded me of my family there for a moment." She shook as she tried to control herself, taking a deep breath. "That's gonna be sixty pushups, ain't it?" Without further ado, she took a step back and started doing her push-ups.

Elise continued staring angrily, but her puffiness went away, followed by something resembling an annoyed smirk. "I'm glad we have an understanding, Cadet." After the pushups were done, Elise then nodded. "Alright, now remember to keep sharp and keep to protocol so we don't have to do this again. Dismissed."

Krista was the last of the cadets to finish. She stood up as sweat dripped down her face. She struggled to maintain her posture as she gave a shaky-armed salute. "Yes Ma'am. Won't happen again."




The next few days with Squad Sigma was a change of pace for Krista. Each one of the exercises was not just for the sake of testing a new weapon, but to prepare herself for using the weapon in combat. It was clear that she was the newest member of the group, and while her fellow cadets didn't treat her poorly there was a certain distance that couldn't be helped. She still wasn't quite sure what to think of the Sergeant. It was clear from the simulations that Elise was much more experienced than Krista was. She also did a very good job of reminding her of proper military procedure. On the other hand, there were moments where she almost acted as old as she looked.

Krista felt like the mission came all too soon. Even as she walked into the briefing room she was unsure of how well she could fight. Still, she tried to hide her nervousness as she saluted both Captain Ritsu and the Colonel. She paid attention as the briefing was given, and made sure to salute the Colonel back at the end.

She raised her hand an waited patiently to be called on. "Captain, do we have an idea where in the base the prisoners are being held? And ah know Zim already sorta asked this, but are we going to have to go in and free them ourselves, or will there be backup?"
@Wraithblade6 Oh I intend on sticking around. I think it's just the issue of it being the holidays. Everything online is slowing down right now.
@Jasonheroits like professional pyromania
Mechanical Engineering with Emphasis in Control Theory and a side of Fluid/Thermodynamics here.
Gimme!

Actually, as far as I know, those of us with Railguns should be more effective in a Zero G environment.


Buck Baker and Richard Arachnidae


Buck felt some relief as he saw the rest of the team run by and out the door. "No, no, I'm sure Rick and I can handle ourselves..." he mumbled. Picking up his voice he shouted to the remaining agents, "Okay guys, last call to get out!" With a crack he beat an attacker over the head with the candlestick, finally bending the bludgeon into uselessness. The former human fell to the floor squirming. "Rick, you think you can cover me while I drag a 'subject' outta here for you?

Richard rushed over to Buck's side "Buck, you keep pulling, I'll do my best to keep them off of you. Lets hurry!" He had to nearly shout over the roar of the ship.

Buck nodded and grabbed the downed attacker by the collar. This had been a man, if the suit was anything to go by. "Let's just focus on getting out of here first. Dragging the dazed attacker as quickly as he could with both hands, he made his way to the door before tossing the possessed human out the door like a sack of potatoes. "Watch this for me, would ya?" he asked the rest of the team. He turned back to fire back into the crowd and shouted at Rick to get out.

Richard did his best to keep the rest of the afflicted off of Buck, he took a few scrapes and gashes himself doing so. As he reached the exit, Buck shouted at him to leave. Richard turned to make a snarky comment and lost his footing, falling at the group's feet and barely managing to catch himself with his legs. Since he was already near the ground he crawled over to their captive and proceeded to tie him up. It took a bit of fighting and a good bit of pulling out webbing from the back of his throat. After a minute he was able to tie up his soon to be experiment and he stood up feeling drained.
