Not open for further replies.
Opening his eyes as he heard a voice that sounded as if it were directed towards him, Christopher saw the slightly older Japanese man holding out a hand to help him up. His tone was rather cold, but then again, Thompson's was mainly blank. Regardless, he wasn't going to decline it, though the problem wasn't so much with being able to stand as feeling like murder.

Still using one hand to shield his eyes, Christopher took Kosuke's with his free one and used it to pull himself up, yet still sought to lean onto the sim he had exited for support. His head was still buzzing, but he couldn't just sit there forever. The sooner he got on with his day, the sooner he could sleep. After taking a few more moments to rest, Christopher mumbled what could be taken as a word of thanks and began to make his way over to the changing rooms, stumbling a few times on his way. Likely, even his own voice caused his skull to reverberate in pain.

Pushing the door to the room open, Thompson would greatly welcome getting the pilot suit off and into a shower. He didn't want a tour. He didn't want to talk. Thankfully, he had never been electrocuted before, and this little event in the simulators definitely ensured he'd try to avoid it happening again. Still, his tolerance to pain was rather high, so he'd be able to go on as normal after taking a moment to breath. His head would still pound but his face wouldn't show it.
 
The Lance Sergeant saw to making his changing quick and snappy, they hadn't been in the simulation that long, so a quick clean was all that was necessary after all it wouldn't be worth picking up anything on the skin.

After this after having changed into his uniform, Marvus would await at the designated point for where the Major wanted them too meet waiting patiently to see how long it would take for any of the others to arrive, he was sure after what some of them had gone through in the simulation, it could well take a number of the time to compose themselves again, after all impressions from others were key and if they looked too shocked or upset it may cause others to look down on them.

If it was necessary, Marvus was prepared to make light conversation with others though he doubted anyone would be that interested in speaking with him at this time anyway.
 
Glancing towards the German pilot as she askes about being show to the Major. "Petrov wanted to see you?" There was no point in telling the woman who, and what Petrov was..only that he had a big hand in some of the affairs on the base. The more..dark ones, that she herself was involved in..though she did not fully understand them. Pulling her flight suit off at the legs while taking a seat, the Russian pilot takes a look at her replacement leg, it lacked some of the more advanced features she heard the Japanese had implemented, and while the scar was still freash with even spots of blood, the synthetic skin graph was rather well done. She could not comaplain..and she knew this was mostly thanks to the Colonel.

With some conflict playing out across her face, the Major shakes it off, turning her attention back to Eirka. "Sure once the tour is done I'll take you to him." She had to stop by there as well, being priorly requested.

During her strip the pilot notices the American Naval Officer wandering his way in, looking half dazed... Sighing a bit this could be forgiven... he likely wasn't up to his barrings. "Chris..to..pher Christopher;" As if trying out his first name, she taps the American regardless of the fact she was stark naked. "You belong on the otherside.." Plazing her right hand to his head, she attempts to open his right eye as if to look for any signs of fatigue..though she stops short. The man was likely just lazy..he and that damnable Henderson would likely get alon well.

(OOC Power moving some of us. We'll then go on with the tour, if anyone wants to talk in the halls or have some interaction during it let me know. Anyways I have plans for my next post, two bits of fun from the Soviet end, the American Hijinks will be later or possiblly then as well, as well as talks with the colonel in regards to Mike and our Friendly Japanese. Dectective Zero you can also enter or after the tour.

Finishing her own shower, Tatiana gives the American a towel, and a lightly encouraging boot tothe ass as if to tell him to return to his side. Fortunately with how the TSF bases and the world in general was, the mans foolish entry didn't prompt screams and physical abuse. Unfortunately he was left in a hallway naked, with a towel at his feet, which prompt whispers and laughter from two female mechanics, who apperantly assigned him the number 7 verbally in passing. Back in the shower, the Major looks at the pile of jumpsuits grabbing the one with her name printed on the nametag, on the left breast.

Stepping out the man was likely already gone or standing naked in the hall still she hoped not..but she had things to do, noting the NCO the Major gives a head nod, the GRU knew a bit on him, but she had gained no orders in regards to him so it was of no importance.

Unsure of what to do an awkward silence envelopes the pair, as they wait for the rest to join up.
 
Kosuke helped up the American pilot and watched as without exchanging any real words he simply limped over to the changing room. 'Odd...' he thought to himself, 'I was positive that was the wrong one...' he gave the sign a quick glance and came to the conclusion that it was the wrong room. He made his way down the hall and quickly stripped down out of his suit, the feeling akin to taking off combat boots after a long day was about all he could ever relate the relief of getting it off to.

He hopped in the shower and quickly rinsed himself off, they hadn't been in the simulators for too long and he had barely broke a sweat so he settled for a quick cold shower and just enough soap to get the job done. Walking out of the showers he walked up to assortment of jumpsuits arranged in the room and picked out the one with his name embroidered across it. Sighing a bit of relief at the comfort it provided in comparison to the flight suit he exited the locker room and made his way to the Soviet Major and the British pilot.

"About as quiet as I would expect the East and the West to be up close." he said as he too came to an awkward stop in front of the two. Breaking the silence he began to talk, "Thanks for the save in the simulator, it was impressive to see the Terminator up close and personal..." he nodded to the Major making a spinning motion with his hands in an attempt to mimic the Soviet chainblades, "It was exactly what I'd expect from a seasoned pilot in such a TSF Major." he crossed his arms on his chest and waited just like the other two as a stiff gloom descended on the trio.

Jack had hurried to the male changing room only a few moments after it was mentioned... To summarize his current goal, he was planning to get the suit off quickly so his neck could move more freely.

He had gone into the room, and everyone else seemed to be changing quickly. He also changed fairly quickly, pausing for a second the moment his neck was free. He titled his head towards the left, and turned his head slightly as a faint cracking could be heard.

He followed the other guys, staying in the shower for as long as it took to rinse himself off, and step out of the way of a stream to wring his hair out so it wouldn't drip as much when he was finished. He had managed to fully dry himself rather quickly before looking through the suits, seeing his name on one, and getting it on.

Tatiana, Christopher, and Kosuke had gathered in a small group, waiting for the rest of the people to show up for the grand tour. Whatever was happening between them... It looked like the opposite of breaking the ice.

He walked to them and joined the group, now shifting his weight from one foot to the other periodically.
 
As the rest gather, Tatiana sighs briefly, using the wall to steady herself, the Soviet TSF pilot motions with her right hand, for the rest to follow. At least she didn't need the crutch now, though she would likely use it on long walks till she got uses to her new robotic leg.

"Well the showers you know." Walking ahead the first four rooms have names on them. She and three other Captains were given a berth. "These are the Senior NCO rooms,they have basic commodities and work space, shower, and storage." Continuing to the left was a cluster of three rooms and another somewhat large hall.

"The two North Most rooms are for the Junior officers, you have a lounge, multipurpose room, and bunk beds. 1st Lieutenants have double bunks, 2nd Lieutenants share the triple, the Room most south is for NCO's you have triple bunks and a smaller lounge, all units have storage and lavatories."

Pointing with her left arm the Soviet clears her throat, pointedly looking at the rest. "There is a pool at the end..its for training, do not use it for fun..if you do make sure only that Good for nothing Henderson any deals he offers for fun use do not reach the Colonel.." Shaking her head at having to admit to that mans allowed contraband she quickly heel turns for the northern most hall. It was a rather short walk with only one door blocking off a large section of the prefab building. "This is the Infirmary." She says in a flat tone that oddly has a hint of anger. "The only thing you need to know is the room in front of you is for waiting and reception, keep the door clear as medical orderlies have to bring in patients. The operation and rest areas are all near the waiting area, do not go into the back sections without permission." Pondering if she needed to tell more, the Major walks off again, she was a rather rushed tour guide..

Turning the hall going East then South, there were two rooms. One had its door open, the other had a glass wrap around design, both rooms were easy to tell just on appearance.

"First with have a Recreations room, pinball, arcade machines, pool table, dual use Ping-Pong, air hockey table, and a gambling table..do not break things, or I will break you.." Narrowing her eyes it seems she had some sort of fondness for the room. Next was the glass room. "..go here when you have spare pay, it is the Regimental store, Candy, movies, games, civilian clothing, even some hobby items are here. Most of it is discount goods however, do not expect latest and greatest.." Though with how the world was now it wasn't as if there was that much in the later to sell. "shoes and the like as well, books, pretty much anything you need." Continuing around the corner, massive windows were in this hall, pointing to the outside the major smiles thinly.

"Garden park, we grow some food items here and there are places to relax, please clean trash and help with the gardening if you wish to eat from it, Colonel Ebner started this collective Garden, so be sure to thank her Comrades..the strawberries are mine.." As if to give another glare, the Major hobbles along pointing to a room directly across from them, opening it electronic noises and chatter is immediately heard. "Command Center, meeting room, you do not be in here unless asked for." Saying this in poor English its likely the woman may be getting tired.

Moving forward was a room that had a sign in English; "Pilots briefing Room." The Major says reading it aloud. "Remember where it is well.." Pausing for a bit, there was a path north, east and south. Pondering which to take first she heads West, the North path didn't matter at all. Opening a pair of double doors ahead were rows of tables and benches, with a food line typical of all military bases and schools. "Mess hall, senior officers have first grabs on the padded booths. The rest of you have the rest. Restroom is to your left. The rest of the areas here past you do not concern you unless you have work duties."

Pointing to her right and walking forward was an open doorway with notably cherry wood floors and a gleaming Oak counter. "This is a place I feel most of you would want to know of. The Bar, you will have rationed amounts of alcohol while in a deployment state, other than that you may purchase alcohol to be consumed here..though senior personal..and more than a few NCO's seem to gain contraband for personal quarters from here." As if to be disturbed by this the Major sighs, she liked to have Vodka time to time, but never felt the need to have it in her quarters.. "Please follow."


Turning back west then taking the southern hall she contuse naming the rooms as they pass. "First on our right is Mail room...you go here when you have note on having mail or a package to send. Da?" Passing on she points to the left. "That is gym, we will enter after." Next was a room that had Administrative wrote on it. "This room is used for various workspace or meetings with other officials one on one..Major Petrov from UN command, Soviet forces uses room at present, but so do others." Looking at Erika it was clear where they would be going once the tour was over.


"Below this is the Colonel's Office she does not mind visitors, but do not enter the room past it without asking, that is her sleeping and living quarters." She didn't bother mentioning the fact they were much more nicer than the others..that was a given. A general would have had a room the size of the Junior officers all to himself..it was how the Military, all Military operated sadly.


Looping back around they enter a the spacious doorway inside was a hall of sorts with glass walls. "This is gym..we have boxing ring, punching bags, running track, weights, treadmills, and changing room..map is in room if confused..Dismissed, do as you wish, supper for our flight is in three hours.." with that the Soviet Pilot remains staring at the group, before working her way past them and back into the hall, heading for the administrative office.

As they followed the Major around the compound, the first place they were shown was the NCO rooms which made sense for Marvus himself to be staying in after all he was now a Lance Sergeant and that made him a NCO, well at least its better than many of the other place he had been having to stay in up in till recently.

The Major in addition explained the locations of the other sleeping quarters across the compound, in addition to health training locations such as the pool and the gym though the Lance Sergeant wondered why they were so far away from each other, it could logically be explained for hygiene reasons to prevent those whom had just left the pool from hitting the gym and its equipment wet, that was always an easy way to spread all sorts of things to other people after all an ill soldier isn't an effective one.

The also had an onsite infirmary which was quite useful the Lance Sergeant made a note as he planned to head their after the tour for a check up regarding his now eliminated cancer to make sure their wasn't anything that had returned and if the doc's were going to supply any different medicines now that he would be deployed back onto the field, it wouldn't be good to have a pilot fall asleep due to medication on the field after all.

In addition to the Mess Hall and the Command Centre their was also the Mail Room, which Marvus planned to make use of after all with family, you at least have the responsibility to write to them, though he wondered if his letter would even be allowed through.

The Major finished quite uniquely by just leaving after she had brought the group to the gym and after she left, The Lance Sergeant himself dispersed making his way to the Infirmary for a check-up, if he could catch any of the doc's.

Erika was out from the skin suit they all were wearing during the simulation and followed the Major around with the rest of the pilots and soldiers. Going around the base, they were shown places such as the medical room, the gym and so on. It was a nice touch. During her time in any other base, they were all told to actually walk around, discover anything by themselves, but now, with a tour, it was easier to navigate and move around the base. However in the back of her mind, the fact that someone called Petrov wanted to see her bugged her, still.

Once the small tour and their guide told them they were all dismissed for the next three hours, they could go about doing whatever they pleased, as long as it was within the boundries the UN base and their higher ups had made for them. Looking at the Soviet Major, she quickly jogged and approached her. "Major.." She started, wondering if the woman before her had actually forgotten to take her to this Petrov.

"I am sorry to bother you again, but this Petrov. Could you show me where he is? I expect he's waiting for me.."
 
An interesting layout for a base, not like the others Kosuke had been stationed at. There was more of an open-campus type layout and much to his surprise, some locations seemed rather out of place when put in context with the rest of the base. 'Must be some odd British layout.' he thought as they kept walking. Making note of the gym and the cafeteria it seemed that the tour was almost over as the Majors pace began to pick up, almost as if she was so close to the end she couldn't help but be want to be anywhere but there.

The Major left the group with three hours of free time and another time to muster at the mess hall for accountability and perhaps a briefing. The sociable part of Kosukes' mind tried to tell him that it might have just been to bond the squad, but the tactically oriented side said it probably had to do with the upcoming mission. He settled on the latter option and resigned to take a walk to the Junior Officer room. He walked down the hall leaving the rest of the group as they dispersed and went about their own tasks for the next three hours.

Opening the door to the male officer quarters he quickly scanned the room and decided that his best option was the farthest bunk, in the corner, top rack.

A Few Minutes Later

Kosuke lay in his bed, grinning. He was first to the room, already unpacked, and he had; what he thought; was the best bunk in the house. 'Privacy and darkness' he thought as he noticed the non-functioning light just to the right of his head recessed into the ceiling. With one fluid motion Kosuke shifted his weight to his side, so that he rolled off the bunk and landed squarely on his feet at the bottom of the bunk. He opened the small coffin locker he had claimed as his own and pulled out a small book, Kojiki, he flipped open the book to his bookmark a small Polaroid of Kyoto during the fall taken from a hilltop away from the city itself, unknown TSFs fighting a losing battle in the distance of the photo and fires raging throughout.

He climbed back up to his bunk and began to read his chronicle as he set and alarm for thirty minutes before the required time to be present at the mess hall. "Not fifteen minutes early, you're late." he said to nobody as he became lost in his book.
 
Sighing a bit with the tour over, the Major knew that the prefabs were mostly hastily thrown together structures. The structures came in kits with the various rooms prebuilt and ushered in with the littlest care by the contractors, and could be taken apart and moved out at a moments notice. Of course that didn't explain the shop, the pool however she knew from first hand use was near the infirmary more than the gym because of the need of rehabilitation with broken bones, or getting used to prosthetics and lastly on the off chance space training was needed.


The shop however she always expected had a more cynical use. It effectively kept pay at the base, kept the soldiers away from the refugee camps, and more importantly out of the main UN facilities..though it wasn't unlikely they would at some point get leave for the countryside. Thinking then of the stuffed animals that rarely were brought in, Tatiana smiles briefly...only to be disturbed.. Throwing a bit, the Russian decides she might as well introduce him.. Officially Petrov was the UN liaison officer with Soviet Forces. Unofficially..well that was a matter not to be spoken of. "...Very Well Lieutenant.." Notably the typical Comrade was missing. For whatever reason she didn't like this situation at all.


Leading the woman off with a wave of her hand, the Major takes the lead knocking on the door, then pulling the handle downwards to enter. In the room was a simple file set, and a brown wooden desk, with a Soviet and a UN miniature flag stand. And of course behind the desk was a tall Slavic man, near abouts his mid 30's, hollowed cheeks, dirty blond hair and cold blue eyes.


"Ah Major Terekeyevna, and ah... Lieutenant Brenvahl.. Good, both of the ladies I wanted to see. Sit...not you comrade Major, Please come next to me..I have special instructions for you." Pointing to the chair in front of the desk, it was a simple armless wooden thing, that didn't look any more inviting than the man giving the command.

With a slight hesitation Tatiana does as instructed.


"Oh? A new leg..how kind of the UN..and the Capitalists.." Whispering something, the female Major's eye seems to...dull, then brighten up. Smiling at that and acting in the friendly manner earlier in the day, he smiles and dismisses her with a wave. "Go on, show our comrades your new leg. Today is such a wonderful day." Seemingly in an excited mood, Tatiana salutes happily and leaves, following the suggestion to the letter, thus leaving the Soviet Major alone with the German.

"So then..How does it feel having to share a base with the people your government attempted to throw away in some stupid notions that the German People could stop what we could not?" Referencing the coup in which ultimately East Germany would Side with the west and end most contact with the Soviet Union, this ended up not meeting expectations. And with the soviets gloating offering periodic aid to its still indebted allies. Though short of taunting maybe the man had some other reason for Erika to be here...


Waiting for her answer, Petrov presses a button under his desk, which causes a simple office phone box to rise up on his desk picking up the receiver and pressing a button on the base, the voice on the other end cannot be heard. "Ah yes, Jacobson is it? Tell Henderson that the Major seems to have wandered off to the Soviet end of the base..oh I'm sure he knows what to do." Given how slow the man worked, everything should be playing out as he desired. Hanging it up, he studies Erika in turn, as if probing her for a reaction of some sort.


Befitting of a KGB officer..


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Moving boxes on a push cart Henderson seemed to be keeping busy, or rather the Nurse and aides that seen to the office were, the man did seem rather lazy in most regards.. "Yeah yeah I got yer fook'n order right ere, don't go off piss'n your pants Laddie. " Seemingly setting aside his argument or whatever it was, this however leaves Henderson as the only person in the reception area once the others were busy with moving the supplies.


Nothing the Sergeant he nods in greeting. "Ah one of the Colonel's Pilots from this morning, I remember yah from that shaggy mop of a head heh. Let me get outta the..hold for a momment..." Hearing a beep at his waste and from behind, the Warrant Officer reaches behind his back with his right hand, pulling out a small hand radio. "Yeah?"

"Its Jacobs, seems the Soviet Major is happily skipping her way to the Soviet ba-" Before the man can finish Henderson angrily cuts him off.


"...She did what?! Bloody Fook'n hell..."


"Well I'm not dealing with them.." The voice that belonged to the man known as Jacobs replies in hesitant tone.


"yeah yeah, I'll go arrange a reception for the bloody little snot nosed brats if they pull any shait..."

"Well that Spo.." Again the man is cut off.

"So the office bastard called yah huh..Clear off the bleedin line...got to go get a few lazy bodies I think.."


Putting the Radio back on his hip Henderson quickly leans over out the door way, yelling to any in the back.



"OI! Doc! Get out of yer bloody office, gotta fellah ere that needs see'n too! I got shit I need to take care of, will be some bruises maybe worse for yah to deal with later on today!"


Not wasting time to go into detail on this situation, Henderson hurriedly leaves, aiming to find any who were lazing around from the First flight group, though the 2nd should be getting out by this time as well.. "Bloody Balls up...had to be when those fook'n Child Maniacs would be on the loose.."
 
Charles Tycho jerked awake, knocking his coffee cup off his desk with a loud crash as he stood in a short burst of anxiety and confusion. "The hell..." he said as he heard a loud and rowdy voice from down the hall, 'That damn Warrant Officer.' he thought as he tried to slow his heart down. He quickly picked up the pieces of his broken mug, piecing the front of the mug back together and placing them on his desk. He took a moment to read the now cracked words, "Worlds Second Best Doctor" was the inscription. His daughter did always love to fuck with him, even now.

"Yeah yeah! One moment!" he said as he left the room, rubbing his forehead where he was pretty sure he had been sleeping on it. Turning the corner he walked directly into a small coffee table taking out his legs from beneath him, he crashed to the ground with a loud "Shit" and quickly got back to his feet.

"Oh! Who the hell put a coffee table on the other side of a blind corner?!" he yelled into the air for any nearby nurses to hear. "You did Sir...!" came the reply from somewhere behind the nurses station.

"Right..." he looked to the man before him, who had no doubt seen him trip himself. "Afternoon, Names Doctor Tycho. Resident Physician of this here cement prefab we call the medical bay." he said with a picture perfect smile for someone his age. "I'm not military so don't worry about any formalities with me--" he glanced at the uniform, "Lance Sergeant."

He turned on his feet and started to head for his office which doubled as an examination room. "Come on now Sergeant! Follow me and I'll get you out of here as quick as you boys glass those BETA." he said. He got into his office and plopped down in his seat, pulling up the medical records for the Lance Sergeant before he had even managed to get into the room. 'Malignant sarcoma huh. Well guess I'll wait to see what he wants, probably be interesting.'

"Pick it up Sergeant, I've got important things to do... Like fix this mug!" he yelled from his desk as he waved the broken handle of the mug wildly through the air.

Obviously, Christopher wasn't readily listening to anyone after getting pulled and and simply caught that the changing rooms were down the hall. It was rather evident that, while he didn't intend to enter the womans' room, he really wouldn't have cared enough to leave regardless. Thankfully, the women didn't seem to care either considering his dazed state. All the second in command did was boot him out in nothing but a towel when he was done. This was also something that a normal person would've been embarrassed about, but didn't really work on Thompson. After the girls walked by he just lethargically picked up his towel and proceeded to the correct room to get his clothing.

No one seemed to think much of it or mention it afterwords, not even during the tour, still Christopher wasn't too interested in it. Maybe the gym—surprisingly he didn't really drink. Most of all, he just wanted a nap.

Once the tour was finished and a couple of his comrades went off to speak to a CO, or so he gathered, Christopher didn't waste any time or words socializing and headed for where he could get some rest. He was sure the others would be off eating, drinking or training, but after being electrocuted, Thompson preferred some shut-eye. Ignore the giggling from the two women that had seen him before, the Navy man made a lazy B-line for the troop quarters and his bunk. Laying down, he didn't even bother getting under the blankets and just plopped his body down onto the top, shutting his eyes and—hopefully not getting disrupted.
 
Having taken her time, Sam was among the last to join the group before the tour began. Sporting female issue UN fatigues minus the jacket, her hair was a tinge darker as she kept to the rear of the group following the Major. Only taking note of the more useful sections of the base such as the barracks, briefing room, infirmary, and mess hall. She didn't pay much attention to the rest except for the mail room which only served to remind her she wouldn't have much use for it. Once it was over she stood a few seconds contemplating what to do with her free time.

Considering checking out the Reg store she realized she'd already forgotten where it was so instead decided to go rest. While the simulation hadn't been demanding of her body it had been of her mind. She could still hear the screams and panicked voices crying for help in her head as she headed for the Junior barracks. Registering the Serb's voice call out to her from behind, before rounding the corner, she paid it no mind. Instead she was imagining if the actual operation would see so many dying and if so how many would losing a sibling like she had. At this thought and upon pushing the barrack's door, she tried to forget it as she made her way to the second row of bunks. Climbing to a top bunk in a single motion she laid down on her back before bending her legs. With arms supporting her head atop the pillow she stared at the ceiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rolan. Join me in gym dah?" Drago asked looking down at Rolando's back. The Captain turned around before smiling and looking up at him. "Maybe another time. I'd like to acquaint myself with the base first." he said. Lightly disappointed, Drago turned toward the gym entrance before Rolando stopped him. "Why not ask Sam to join you?" he proposed. Smiling at the idea as he hadn't thought of it, Drago turned on his heel to see the girl near the end of the hall.

Cupping his hands around his mouth he called out to her. "Sam! Sam!", but got no response. Unsure of whether she heard him or not Drago was about to walk after her when Rolando spoke. "She may be tired, I'd leave her alone for now." he said. Looking to him and then briefly at Sam as she rounded the corner and disappeared, Drago looked on for a few seconds before turning around to do what he had intended. Wondering at Rolando's choice of words he thought back to moments earlier when everyone was leaving their simulation pods.

Sam hadn't looked tired to him, but she had taken her time changing. Not sure what to make of it he soon found himself loading weights onto a barbell. After adding about 200 lbs he stopped to look around the room at the other equipment. His eyes resting on the boxing ring he was reminded of one of his brothers who loved the sport. Cracking a smile, he made a mental note to get someone in it with him at some point before beginning to warm up for his bench presses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having taken his leave from his large Serbian friend, Rolando took to walking back the way the group had came, but at a casual pace and with hands held behind his back. Being true to his word he planned to get a better feel for the base by walking down the halls and looking door to door, recalling what the Major had said about each. Entering a few such as the Reg store and recreations room, he eventually stopped inside the pool. Looking at his reflection in the water, an image of himself in UN fatigues with a plate body over top of them stared up at him as he was consumed in thought.

Pondering an array of opinions, his mind briefly settled on Sam. Wondering how well she was adjusting, he soon dismissed the notion as it was simply the first day and too early to tell. Instead, he focused on how she had done in the simulation. Performing better than some, she mostly finished without a scratch. A noteworthy accomplishment considering the state of the other recruit and the mishaps the rest faced. However, in the end it was merely a simulation and a one time event. Shifting his thoughts due to this he began thinking on the campaigns chances of success. Without raw data on the BETA's numbers he only had experience and estimates to go on. However, given that and who he was working with his rough estimates seemed not in their favor.

Habitually brushing the sides of his mustache with his fingers, the movement in the water from his reflection soon caught his attention and made him take notice of his silly habit. Sighing, he resolved to let the matter rest with those in command. Having been standing poolside for half an hour he left the large room and returned to leisurely patrolling the halls.

Crossing into the Soviet side of the base a number of soldiers stare at the Major, watching her walk happily alone. While for some it would be a sign of better things and hopes, the Soviet forces were not so optimistic. In the decades of warfare Russian Populations got the best and most in terms of food, medical care, and living space in Alaska. Where as the non-Russian populance were conscripted en-masse and thrown to the BETA, nevermind Soviet actions that fundamentally destoried cultural and family groups prompting an air of hostility towards ethnic Russians in an attmept at keeping the Union as one big happy family.


While the Russian personal, or elite units would have been envious or dismissed it as a pet getting special treatment even in compairassion to them, the other nationalities would not be so..generous. Already among the flight crews a bit of discussion among the 27th Baltic Regiment was being quitely carried out. The Senior Russian officers, and the 12th Guards Squadron were purposely absent from this, having the sense to let things play out.


Among the group of pilots ages varried wildly, from the early 30's to as young as 15. Lithuanians, Estonians, and Latavians conversed in Russian with bits of the so called International Langauge of English. Some of them had children in fact, but they were taken by the state and given to others to be raised, or hand one degree of injury or another, and unlike the woman's own prosthetic, they had to make do with far more crude devices. The Soviet Union even among its own Russian Pilots rarely spent much in the way of expense on what it seen as expendable frontline forces, it could be said only tankers fared worse, while the vaunted Soviet Bomber force recieved the best treatment.


"...Yeah, lets do this...Russians have always shitted on us..now one is just walking around with that American crap.." An older balding man says.


"...tch taking gifts from the capitalists..and wandering aroun here in UN Blues..." Adds a 15 year old male.


"..Sell out." Says a girl of around the same age, soon a chorus of agreements or calling the woman a traitor rings out.


"...She seems more friendly than I thought..I walked up to her earlier..I thought she was called the Crimson Dancer..and known for her cruelty." Says a woman in about her 20's who had intially reporter the woman wandering about to the rest.

"What that cripple? Yeah..well you just go find her, we'll keep our Comrades distracted, I'll take six of you we'll give some of the Infantry a bit of a...stress relief, not like theres anything else to spend money on around here." The 2nd male speaks this time, while picking out by hand six others of varrying ages and gender, to a man..or woman, each has a smug smirk on his or her face, two set about getting duct tape, the other a rubber mallet..they wanted the good major awake with a headache after all. Not dead.

Wandering around the soviet end of the base it wasn't long untill the blond woman from before wanders her way over to Tatiana, waving with a smile, the woman was triggered by her counterparts words into her other personality, which was in someways child like and overly kind, if ignorant of a number of situations. It was a combination of conditioning, how the Espers were developed in a questionable way, and lastly the very medications that kept them alive. "Hmm? Can I help you?" Tatiana says in regards to the approaching woman. With a smile, the Major was starting to get bored of this place and was about to leave.




"Ah yes, Major, could you please come with me? I have something I want to show you." Beckoning with her right hand, the green jumpsuited pilot leads the major towards the end most hangars near the edge of the base, unless someone was purposly snooping around they would have as little idea what was going on as the major did...though in fairness as she rounds the corner the only thing the Major feels is her mind warning her of hostile intent, and then seeing a blunt black object connecting with her face. Sparwling out on the ground all she can do for the momment is lay there motionless as her head feels like its been split open.


"Alright, truss her up..want to beat on her a little before we get our moneys worth on her."




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Shait..the Colonel finished up her 2nd group." Swearing to himself, the warrant officer needed to finish this quickly, ducking into the side passages, and planting his back firmly, the Warrant Officer watches with a close eye as the Colonel by passes him, heading for her own office, and likely to have a bit of dinner. She still had one more group, and their was two people she had meant to talk to after all. While the Warrant Officer logically should have no knowladge of this, he somehow did. Exhailing a sigh he then notices the Captain. A real Gent that one is, he thinks to himself.


"You there! Aye Captain!, come with me, about to earn yah a bit of favor ehh!" Calling out to the man in a rather blunt manner, he then equally as brutishly makes his way into the closest Officer room. "Oi! You there! Sleepy head, get up, you're about to be a bit of a hero, or stay there and piss yerself in your sleep, the Major has likely got into some bad trouble, If yer interested meet me at the Motor pool, smallest damn building outside with trucks and jeeps in and around it." Saying this loud enough that any local or interested parties would hear, he didn't need but himself, the Spainard, and this dozzy git. A sceane wasn't needed and the last thing he wanted, more so he was concerned about how the Major would react.. Then there was still those CIA idiots in the US end of the base...




Having finished her 2nd test flight of the day, the Colonel heads for the mess hall, grabbing a quick bite to eat at her office. Today didn't really afford the luxury of a sitting down meal, another group had to be tested, then final arrangements made, personel moved around and all manner of reports. While company would not be minded she wasn't about to look for it. Grabbing a bread roll and the chicken tasting shaped algea, it would be nice to get some real meat, Lucia thinks to herself with a sigh. Half wondering where the Major had gone, the others were liking seeing to their own business.

The woman had interrupted the Major right after the little tour around the base, where the latter finally showed her where this Petrov guy was. After a few knocks they entered his office. From the first impression, he had more authority around the base than the Major, and perhaps even the Colonel. What could he possibly want with Erika? Heeding his words, the East German sat down on the chair before the desk. Waiting for until whatever he whispered in the Majors ear, the Soviet woman left.

The man before her was, or at least looked cheerful, though by how the Major acted around him seemed iffy, at least to the blondie. Sitting there until they were the only ones left, the man immediately moved her attention to her, and with something she did not expect. Making a remark with a condescending tone. Yes, perhaps the way he acted infront of the Major was just a ruse. The smile on his face annoyed Erika. The woman was quiet for a moment, though mentally, she was serious.

Before she could answer, this Petrov guy had a phone pop up on the desk, before talking to someone, and about the Major. Everything about the way this guy spoke sounded wrong. However, Erika did not pry into it because she felt that giving someone the benefit of the doubt was fitting. One cannot judge a book by its cover, not always, and judging by how the world was now, it wasn't exactly that easy to trust someone or not. Brushing whatever he said on the phone away, she felt that now was the time to give him an appropriate response.

"I've had no trouble so far and am happy to be here working with the Soviets.." The East German started, talking with an appropriate and a professional attitude. "Actually, I believe I'm working with more than just the Soviet here on the.. UN base.. Sir.." She finished, not even batting an eye on what he said about East German in general, and ignoring it, or so it would seem on the outside. Mentally, she was puzzled as to why the man would even start a conversation with the woman like that.

After a second or two, Erika wanted to get to the point for why she was even there. Even if it was a punishment or otherwise. "So if I may ask.. Why am I here?"
 
Retracting his attention from his thoughts back to his surroundings, Rolando turned at the mention of his rank. Spotting the warrant officer before he disappeared into the officer room nearby, Rolando wondered why he needed his help. However, noticing the urgency of his actions, Rolando made his way toward the same room where he overheard the man's remark about the Major being in trouble. Concerned yet curious he raised an eyebrow at this as the man left the room and began walking hastily, expecting them to follow. "What's the problem? Is the Major all right?" he asked as he quickened his pace to keep up with the Irish man's.

The Doctor that eventually came to meet Marvus seemed preoccupied and that was made all the more clear after he made comments about fixing his mug, though Marvus did expect this doctor might kick into action if someone was dying in his theatre room but that would be left to be seen at a later date.

Marvus spoke to the Doctor, "I was just wondering if their would be any changes to medication or check-ups, now that I've been returned to Field Service, Obviously if their is anything please forward it, to my CO or to the NCO Quarters for my attention, I will leave you do you duties after all repairing is technically Medical work"

Marvus used the repair duties as medical work as a bit of a joke though it seemed this place was relaxed at the very least, Marvus made an exit to leave the Doctor to his own business and made his way toward the NCO Quarters, should nothing gain his attention on the way over their, he would attend to setting in and to discover which of the bunks was his.
 
Following the Major through the tour, Jack was a little surprised about the quality of the base, thinking that the presence of a recreation room and store was a nice one. Maybe he'd find a book or movie he liked... though they may or may not be laced with propaganda. He proceeded to follow throughout the rest of the tour, awkwardly avoiding eye contact with the others. It was when the tour was over, that Jack wasn't quite sure what he was going to do. Considering that it wouldn't be too long until he's knee-deep in monsters, he was at a loss of what to do for the moment.

After a bit of standing around, he decided to simply pace around the place, with the intention of getting more familiar with it before he decided what he wanted to do, being careful to avoid anything looking too... sketchy.
 
Just as he shut his eyes, he heard the stomping of boots running along the halls until finally a voice came and shouted at him. His eyes slowly opening as the boots continued on their way, Christopher stared at the ceiling, or bottom of the bunk over him, rather. After a while, he lethargically got up with a grumble. The Navy man hadn't bothered taking anything off, being that tired and just wanting some shut-eye, but it seemed there was something that would deny him the small amount of rest he wished for. Whatever this was better be import or—Well, he'd probably grumble about it then go back to sleep. Thompson wasn't currently mad; it was rather difficult to piss him off. He was, however, very annoyed, and while most people didn't find pissing him off very enjoyable, they also found annoying him to an extent rather unpleasurable as well.

Cracking his neck from side to side, Christopher sighed and jogged out and down the halls, heading for the motor pool. Something about the Major—How could she be in danger? She gave off the impression of a fucking Commissar, basically meaning tick me off, do something wrong or make fun of my leg and you get shot. What trouble could she have gotten in.

"Oi, that depends on how long it takes us ta reach er." Holding up his own arms for the Spaniard to see, they were prosthetics but unlike the Major theses were pretty plastic looking, with metal components, not the synthetic flesh and connections to the nervous system like the Major seemed to have. Lowering them Henderson continues his run for the motor pool. "The War with the BETA yah see, lead to man an advanced in these Arms o'mine. I have 2nd Generation, some of the finest produced at the time, the Major has third generation, a bit behind the Japanese and their fourth...course that be a rumour o'sorts, but Bionic type things. The Soviets never been much to have concern over troops still use first generation, which looks more like pipes, an'metal, plus bits and bobs. Very ramshackle, and cheap." Noting the American was with them, the Scotsman continues his story, for a NCO he seemed awfully knowledgeable.


"But there is some troubles in the hen house. The Baltic Regiment based here has some Soviet Russian units, but its mostly Baltic troopers..lets just say they have a mutual..dislike for one another. Now lets throw in a Soviet Russian with third generation prosthetics..plus as your lot seen earlier the lass has a nicer side..lets just say that side turns off violently, so it ain't just her we'll be going to help.." Not going into more detail on it, he noticed a NCO of some sort in the halls, likely would be in the same bunk as he. "An I need a few of yah to play along with my little game, or things will get complicated for the Colonel and the rest of us." The Royal Army soldier adds with a hint of snobbery as if seeing it as a distasteful outcome.


He was one of the two the Colonel was planning to speak with, if he remembered correctly. Though it was possible the man would join them if he heard the outburst of maybe the Colonel would come looking for him and the Japanese.

"Well anymore bloody questions or are you up to helping me preventing a major incident? I know about what the little Shaits have planned, they've done it often enough." With that the trio should be about to exit the building with Henderson slightly in the lead.




(Gives you some options Death. I don't plan to linger on this stuff long, will move on with a small time skip at some point)


Speaking of the Colonel, currently she was sitting at her desk pouring over the data that was acquired in the testing, standard national formations would not work, they would have to combine or mix tactics, with special care played towards the Units TSA components in the unit. Discussion would be needed among the rest of the unit, as well as her own ability as commander, though with some other elements of the Regiment it should be possible to put a few of them in national formations..though given the situation on the base it was likely better to keep them separate. Pondering this as she lifts up a bread roll taking a bite Lucia soon found her mind wandering onto another situation that was a cause of concern.

Laughing a bit at the woman's reply, Petrov puts both elbows on his then arranges his fingers to touch tip to tip in a triangle fashion in front of his face.
"Heh. You are a good dog after all. The best way to test a dog is to kick it you know?" Narrowing his eyes as he speaks with the East German , Petrov seems to conceal a smile behind his hands, this one was somewhat useful. "You may feed a dog well, or even hide its bone, but that is not enough for it to be of use." Making a snorting sound at the woman's mention of the other forces and UN command, he doesn't comment.


"Why are you here? Its rather simple. Your owners gave your leash to me, and if you ever want your bone back...well let us just say the Motherland has came out in better shape than your Germany. I have need of various tasks being done that I cannot, but mostly you will sit quietly and watch, listen..." Laying his hands flat on the desk as his elbows move back and up, allowing the UN dressed officer to leer forward, he smiles grimly.

"And you will speak to me of it all. Let us just say I do not like the look of you, and punishments will come down upon you..I suggest within reason some of these may be earned, if not I'll find cause myself. Regardless you shall be a person of interest to me, and I may at best use you to deliver packages, like I did to that Polish fool not long ago..Remember who is the father of the communist powers..and who will have most of the hives when this is all said and done.." Thinking in terms of politics ages past, most of the hives were on soviet territory.


Leaning back in his chair he had little else to say. "So tell me girl, by what name should you be called, and what questions do you have of me?"
