Ever get the feeling you were set here on this planet for a certain purpose, to fulfill a task that has you at the center of? Many people dont realize this, but we all are part of this grand scheme, then again, maybe some do. Everdun is no different, then again he was built for one reason, to fight.
Lt. Everdun sat on the edge of the table, watching his player construct his squad, he had been the first one done from the kit of 10, in heavy carapace armor of a Storm Trooper; his power sword in one hand, his make shift plasma pistol in another. He fixed his barrette cap, checking to see if his armor was in proper shape. After watching the rest of his team slowly cobble together, he stepped forward as his players hands move away.
"Welcome to the Celestian 2nd Recon Platoon, 1st Division" he said eying his men. Around them flash and spare parts littered among other miniatures, some Sisters of Battle, bugs, even a few Space Marines; all silent compared to them. As the 9 other miniatures stepped forward, they each gazed around, half confused, half mesmerized, but all the same they saluted their officer. Each one was either a specialized miniature or another storm Trooper simply taken from an old squad, their carapace was not suited for recon, but with a few touches, their armor was granted a "stealth" look while everyone else got camo cloaks.
"Now that your all organized, listen up, we have some work ahead of us, seems we are part of a Maverick Guard unit"
"Maverick?" one of the soldiers asked, a female, well endowed with a medical sack
"Yes...since we have Xeno allies" Everdun begins, reading the paper nearby "We are looked down upon by the Inquisition even though we fight for the emperor."
There was a few murmurs as Everdun cleared his throat "Now then, any questions?"
A few hands rose
"You will salute, say your name, and then the question" He barked as he looked at the medic, she hadnt done so, the medic sighed, picking the hint.
"Corporal Elisia sir...squad Medic"
"Thank you" Everdun replied as he chose another face, this time a wolfen xeno. He was crouched low, a modified sniper rifle in his hands. He wore a gillies suit with a full face mask, the only way to tell he was a xeno was by his ears and tail poking from the holes, both were a dark grey in color.
"Sergeant Silver, Sniper" the wolf says coolly "So...we have to fight both...good and bad armies?" his eyes glistened under his face mask
"I guess, so, our first battle, according to our player, is against Sisters"
"Sisters?"
"Yup, Sisters of Battle, Inquisition witch hunters."
"There be no witches here" Silver replies as he steps back
Everdun sighs as he selects another hand, another xeno approched, this time a red fox, she wore standard flak armor in the form of a skirt and a tank top, she had a camo cloaked that seemed more like a cape on her than a cloak. She carried a Space Marine scout Sniper and enough ammo along her belt to take down a whole platoon.
"Corporal Tanya, Sniper." She said
"What is your question?" Everdun asks
"Can we expect any hazard pay?" she said jokingly as a few chuckles emitted from the group, Everdun sighed as he watched Tanya blow a bubble from her muzzle, she was chewing gum too.
"There is no such thing as hazard pay Corporal, now lose the gum before you lose your rifle"
The sniper cursed under her breath, spitting the gum and walking back, if looks could kill, she probably could easily, and her sword on her back made it much clearer
Another figured stepped forward, a storm trooper, he seemed to be shaking slightly as he hefted the Vox caster on his back upwards, he salutes "C-Corporal Unil" he stutters "Vox Caster, sir, if i may, can we expect any help for our forces?"
Everdun shakes his head "We are recon elements, we get one Heavy Weapon, but that's it, maybe a tank if we are lucky, but that's it"
The man seemed to shake a bit "Y-yes sir" he said "i hope i can transfer out" he muttered to himself
A big man stepped forward soon after, from Q&A this became an Ice breaker, Everdun looked at the massive man, he wore storm trooper armor, but he was easily toting a Laser Cannon on his back "Err...Corporal Hugges Sir, you...uhh mentioned Heavy Weapon, yeah i think that's me" he says tapping the big gun
"I do hope you can use that" Everdun said
"urrr....maybe...im not a good shot sir" he stutters tapping his fingers together
"uhh...whose your second then?"
"Second?"
"You know, every weapons team has two"
A small girl stepped forward "OH me me me!" she exclaims
Everdun turns to the child "What is a little girl doing here?" He questions
"HEY!" the girl barks back "Pvt Miko Sir! Im his second" she said as she stepped up to Hugges
Everdun shrugs "Very well, be careful then"
The sudden smell of a cigarette whiffed towards Everdun
"Whose smoking?" he demands as another fellow steps forward, he was a slender man, a bit pudgy, but still well built. He had a checker cap and wore a jacket over his carapace
"PFC Sulden Sir, my friends call me Taxi"
"Taxi?" Everdun asks as the man nods
"Any car, truck, tank that comes around, i can drive it"
"Really?"
The man nods "Can i demonstrate?"
Everdun shakes his head "errr...not now, lets wait till the fighting starts"
Taxis smirks as he steps back into line
The last two member's stepped forward, one was a tall, lanky man who wore his cloak fully over his body, the other was simple a solider type, fresh from enlistment. The lanky man fixes his cloak, reviling his Sniper rifle and various knives under it
"PFC Caiden...Sir" he said in a low voice "and this is Pvt Reed, hes a new enlistment" he says, moving like a shadow as he ushers towards Reed
"Sir! ready to follow orders SIR!" Reed exclaims, Everdun had a bad feeling about these two, but he shrugged
"Well seems we got everybody introduced and ready, good, then lets get going, we have a match to fight!"
