Well... looks like I must have hit a nerve. There goes my chance of promotion... Eh. Doesn't matter.
"Be ready in Bay Alpha at 0900 - got it, Sir. We'll be there."

Shifty gives his customary nod, Tiny gives him customary grunt, and Tech gives his customary smile and nod just as if this was their old commander but soon realizes its not and curtly says."Sir, yes Sir."

"CORPORAL, sir. I just want you to know that after Cap got hit it was my job to get the rest of us out while Bones was busy and I still think it is my job to take care of me and mine, and you'll be a part of that only as long as I think you are. If you become a liability you're going to have to get off that rock on your own, sir."

"I understand your connection to your teammates and late Captain, Corporal. But now isn't the time to be mourning because we have a job to do. I won't get in your way when it comes to driving but I do expect, even if I'm not "part of the team" yet, to be treated as your squad mate. Trust me when I say, I won't get in your team's way. If thats all, then you all are dismissed."

"I'm not morning sir, this team has been together for 13 years and this is our first casualty of war. I intend to do my job and I will take your orders, but you have to earn our respect, sir."
With that, I leave the room. "I need to talk to the quartermaster before we leave. I need to get that wine for that transfer I set him up with."

Tiny, Tech, and Shifty shoots glances at each other, startled on how Dragoon acted. They get up in unison and leave the room. The Lieutenant stops at the door, blocking it, and make sure everyone has left."Warren, I need to talk with you."
Its 18 years Darth.

"Okay. What's on your mind, Sir?"
I'm about to get chewed out because he doesn't like the fact that Dragoon has a mind of his own, aren't I...[/i]

The Lieutenant takes a long breath and sighs."How long were you friends with the Captain? Since Childhood? I met him just before last mission. Funny how things can go like that at times. I have read the reports. Never mentioned how long you performed surgery but from what I heard, you could barely move by the time he was pronounced dead. I know its been hard on you especially but I need you to keep this team alive. They seem not keen to my entrance so early. Trust me when I say I don't mean to act as some "replacement" for such a good man but thats what I am. It'll take time but they will learn to live with me. But until then, you will need to do my job. Just act like I'm still in charge. You are dismissed."He pats Bones on the shoulder and takes his leave.

Bones stands, dumbfounded.
Wait, what? He just... tells me to try my best as doing his job for him, and then leaves? If they're going to de facto give me the captain's job, why bother appointing him as our new commander? It'd probably have gone over better if they'd just given me a lieutenant's bar and then either put some new blood on the team to fill the place I had, or just leave us as is. But no, instead they get the guys all riled up by putting some ONI in charge, and then he just tells me to do all his work for him? What? How is that supposed to make sense? And if they - Say, he's already left, hasn't he. I should probably go get suited up. I can worry about this later.
Bones sighs and exits the room.

At this point its a free period. If you want to do anything of note then go ahead and post it. If not juts tell me so we can move on as quickly as possible.
Since no One wants to do anything, then we will jump 1 week into the future. This one week is the time it took for the SlipSpace(Halo hyper space!) from The rally point to Harvest. We are on the UNSC Destroyer Iroquois and have been in Cryogenic sleep for a week. We are gathered in the Supply room, gathering up your gear for the op. There is a Warrant officer handing you your gear.Its about an hour before we drop out of SlipSpace near Harvest.
The Warrant officer calls out."Lieutenant.... why is the rest blacked o- oh! Nevermind. Your getting a M90 Close Assault Shotgun, 2 frag grenades, 1 stun grenade, 64 8 gauge fletchette shells, a M7S Caseless SMG, 5 clips for it, a tactical map, a PDA, and a compass."Hands the crate to the Lieutenant."Next is First Sergeant Gerald "Bones" Warren."

I don't have anything to do now, but when we get to the Iroquois I want to Improve our chances at getting down there in one piece.
I make a Persuasion check to get more armor on our HEV's, including the Lieutenant's, and another to try for a few extra clips each.
My first roll is 6, 9, 20 My second is 5, 15, 16

"Hmm? Oh, right. Yeah, that's me."
Bones walks over to go pick up his gear.
