Unit Team Commander: Richard Thorn,
Date of birth: 5th Month, 23rd Day of The Year 2156.
Never thought I would be a in command of 74 men, 74 and not 70 like I motioned is that there is also the command unit that I will be with so I am now in command of 74 men, including me that would be 75. Now I just need to find out what the team number command has assigned and create an Insignia, never thought I would have such responsibility in such a sort amount of time.
To me seems like something is pulling strings for theses things to be happening, I just have this off feeling about all of this happening but I will gracefully take the offer.
I think I have a good insignia but who knows time will tell. The insignia is a Skull with red eyes with a hood a scythe, that is the easiest way to explain, as for my Team Number command assigned me it is 5165, You know reports are things I do not like, they suck but are needed I am turning in to Jack, all I do is complain about everything that exists.
Team Number: 5165
Team Callsign: Bringer'O'Death
Insignia: Submitted; pending approval
UTC: UTC, Thorn
SUTC: SUTC, Kimber
Units In Command: 14 + 1 For command Unit
"Team commander Thorn, I am here to report" said someone form behind. "Yes, what is it you need, are you lost or something " I said as I had not managed to get much sleep after what happened not long ago or 2 days ago to be exact. "I am here to report to Team commander, Thorn for the new Team, I am Support Team Commander, Kimber"
'Oh he got here' I thought 'I would bet he would take longer to get here but here he is, in all of his glory.' you know after what I saw and had done I am surprised that no one wanted to interview me maybe the military wants to keep this under raps and doesn't want wide spread news about me, maybe my Team is a secret one, maybe my new team is special forces group.
"Ok, thank you for arriving quickly I need a Selection process for people to get into the team ok, so please come up with programs that we need" I said with him still standing there and now he is just down right confused "Ok sir but what is the Team and how do we operate" with what I am going to tell him, he won't enjoy what I have to say about the Team. "Well if I am to be honest, command wants a team that can fight in Lost sectors Very long periods of time this means we are going to be specialized in very dangerous operations so if any of those are to come up we are going to be first to be called and the other main reason is that command is planning an assault outwards to retake the lost sectors, I was only informed of this before you came in to help out" after what I said I was expecting him to quit right there and now.
he did not say a word, for a little then spoke up "I see so we need a force that is mobile, tactical, enduring, fearless and disciplined" I look at him, and smile at him and notify him to get started for him to get started on the Selection, he is Crazy not to quit right then and there.
to be honest I am surprised he still stayed to help I guess he wants to have our home back in our and after what I told him. but after a while of both of us working though the night and into the afternoon of the next day we done it we finished the program and the selection process are now ready to be put to use getting New rookies.

after the long hours of being working to try and figure out how are we going to do this and finally it is done I just hope nothing pops up while I take a little nap not going to sleep.
when I awaken from my sleep I look around to see it night, 'did I really nap this long' then I notices second in command slee... napping as well I move over to see what work was being done see that work was an understatement this is whole operation, it all goes down to the single detail of each step. I am impressed that all of that was done when I went to go for a little nap, I just hope this work to the little detail can come over to the combat zone.
as I look through this planning to have people join the Team I hear someone coming down the hallway at fast rate then the stop Infront of the office they then open the door but I am still reading through all of these notes. then "UTC, Thorn Sir. I am here to pass on a message form High command" wait high command what do they want if they want a message to be delivered to me something important is happening.
"what is the message" I really don't want to know at this point "well High com has a deadline for you to get this team up and running and deadline is in 4 weeks time" 4 weeks to get 73 men in a team I hate you high command why do you do this to me.
"ok go get some rest, I can tell your tried" he nods then leaves. how am I going to get 73 men in fighting shape in 4 weeks time this is going to be fun. I then fall a sleep not nap, sleep this time.
"Sir, looks like things are starting to clam in all sectors of military after what happened 2 days ago" the two men in a room that is well varnished I got to say who ever decorated that room I want them to do mine. "that is nice to hear what about the new unit how is that proceeding along" the man in a chair with suit and tie looking out a window said to the computer geek.
"it is still unknow sir as most files of normal command are locked only having some information about it like size of the team and the team Number" the reason why this is happening is that most information is in the high command servers and they contain a lot more Information on the team as they created it
"this seems like fun I wonder what secrets are being locked behind those doors" little does the well dressed man know is that the secrets are either going to get him killed or have the city in a riot.
a new week is here yay lets try our best to get people into the team is what I would've said if we weren't a special forces team that is highly secretive, only thing people know about the team is that it is a highly trained Team and only know the Number (5165) of the team and nothing else, nothing of what we do and how we do it.
but that doesn't stop people form trying to join at the moment we have 2 units full of people that is at least something "sir I have received a message form High" what do they want now I nod to him to tell me what is going Down "Sir, high says we have someone of high status joining the squad they want us to make him leave or if need be have him die in a accident, as he is problem" I look at him and think WHAT THE FUCK! they want me who has only been here for at least 3 weeks run a team of highly trained killing machines and now they want to be a assassin.

things get wild while you are military, I just don't know what to think about this all I wonder who is this high status brat is going to be even, though I am 20 now still though anyone born of high status is always bad news and a brat.
"but sir they did propose a different offer other than death, it is to see how he does in the selection process" You know SUTC, Kimber you are smart I am glad I have you at my side "you know that is not a bad plan he will probably fail and that way we don't kill him we let high deal with that"
I then look into this spoiled little brat in the letter that high sent me before Kimber walked in to talk to me, I was going to read but I kept putting it off so I can with other paper work, Fucking paper work. I found out he is a intel smuggler that steals info from teams and sells it to the public to big amounts of money.
but that has to wait as we and who do I mean by we is that of me Richard and SUTC, Kimber. I really should get to know him so I would like to call him by his first name and stop addressing him like we are work buddies but I don't know his first name. but other than those things are just some minor stuff but one of those stick out like a saw thumb and that's the date we are going to host the next selection process.
We had trouble for this as most of all with trying to figure out what day it should held what time and end time by, well end time is going to be hard to pin point as we could be slow or fast and speed through all of them so we did not bother with that. the time start was set in stone due to how we were planning this and what was going to be done, then the day we had find out days that high command would think were right then finally we had a brake through with it. 2 days until the our second selection process.
due to a certain person that want's to leak things we want secret and I mean secret. we have some information that is high level classified and I do not why we do, do not question the choices from high command, why do you do this command why.
but as of now things have settle and now I can see Jack, Jacob, Elizbeth/Beth and oh I for to mention his name did I, well the last person was Isaac he is a nice dude but is getting a little annoyed about me winning a lot of the time in hide and seek. but I need to relax and hang out with friends.
"Kimber I am going to be Out Of Action, so look after place will you" Kimber turn's to face me and blurts out the most unreal answer ever form him "nope I wont look after the place it will be a mess from when you walk through that door" so he does have a little humor "ok but keep the mess to minimum"
and off I went to see the people I have not seen in what 4-3 weeks I wonder what has happened while I was gone I hope they are dong well.
"I wonder how Richard is, right now I bet he is doing nothing but sitting and doing nothing" Beth calmly said while the others sit around in different parts of the field they had decided to have as there meet up place "I wonder how he will do with the new friend" Jacob said trying to embrace the new friend "I reckon he will be fine, knowing him he would fall head over mountains in love with her" Jack being Jack and joking about as usual but it could happen "come on jack leave the man and lady alone, he has been gone for 3-4 weeks" Isaac chimes in to protect Richard as he has remorse for the poor man "I really want to meet this Richard you all keep talking about" as the new person said with a lovely voice that sounds like the voice of goddess.
A shadow then appears they all look up to where it was coming from.
"you guys were calling me, need something" as I look down to them I see one new person but all the others jump to say hello and see how I am doing "Richard!!!" is all I here before being dog piled on by them "yes hi guys, can you get off of me please" as they slowly do I notice the new person "hello I am UTC, Richard Thorn or just Richard" she looked at with shock after what I just said same with the others "UTC?" Jacob says in shock he know a little in ranks and knows how they operate "Richard you have been there for three weeks what happened to make you a Commander of a team" I turn to him with a look on my face that says I wish I could tell you but I can't, from that he understood.
they all look at Jacob wondering what had happen then they look at me "I understand so confidential stuff is it not" I look at him and nod to the question "now who may you be, sorry if I sound a little intimidating" she looks at me with a nervous look "Nicole, nice to meet you Richard may we get along" I understand why they let her into the group now she is so friendly.
As time passes with these guys I decide to tell of a story when I was still working on the selection process with Kimber "so one day I am walking down the hallway to my office to talk to Kimber my second in command he pipes up about how I should get married or find someone to care for I look him dead in the and say maybe you should start thinking as well" they all start to laugh at there story I have told them it was not funny but hey that what friends are for, they all ask me how am I doing and have I seen action yet, I tell them I have seen action but its only heard not fought physically of course that is a lie as what I saw last week still haunts me.
as the day comes to an end we us sitting there on a hill looking out to the sunset I see Nicole sit next to me "so how stressful really is the military" while she looks into sunset in front of us "it is hell, at least I am doing fine though" really it is hell just stress upon stress along with last weeks horror as well on top of that, yea I think hell is not enough for what has happened.
as the day became night I had to leave as certain stuff that I can't talk about is coming up, they look disappointed that I am leaving but duty calls and stuff. it was nice talking to them after a while.
now to solve our problem with the Brat and trying to leak out secrets shall we.
