*Took a deep swig then past it back to Nick.*
"It's good. What's it called?"
*Turned to Lorena and smiled slightly.*
"There's no place I'd rather be then on my Pelican or just glideing in banshee in space. And just tie your hair back in a ponytail like me. The officers don't care as long as it doesn't interfer with your helmet or com system."
*Pulled out the hair boby and fluffed out her Midnight hair with slender pale fingers, so pale they had a blue tint to it, refelcting in her hair and stormy, grey eyes that seemed to look right through you.*
"Much better. I'm Linda by the way, but most just call me Firefly, Storm or Twilight. Seems I've made a bit of a name here.
*Gave a small laugh then turned back to Nick.*
"Tacticetion, eh? So I guess your the one dirceting us in battle. Well were still alive so I'd think your doing a good job."
*A marine walked by and gave Linda a pat on her shoulder. She turned and gave him a smile.*
"I didn't know you got back yet, Alaka."
"You know me better then that, Sarg. They can't touch me!"
"So you say....next time I'm not going to pull your hide out of the fire! Anyone for Lafat?"
*Nameing a common card game where playing cards are set out like battilons of soldiers.*

...Leaving the lift behind him, Mathias proceded to the the inner sections of the barracks, where his bunk was. At the entrance to each barrack, there was a troop list of who was occupying which bunk. He was suprised that the Navy was able to organize these lists, because they were quite a few Marines on the Titan now, not to mention ODSTs and a SPARTAN.
His eyes scanned over the list, the list being in his left hand as his right hand scratched the back of his head. He was looking for his second in command; Gunnery Sergeant Michael Hammer...

Linda subtly tensed up rembering somthing her parents had always said to her when she a was little girl and before their planet was glassed: Be Prepared.*

***** Michael stepped out of the lift with his helmet under his arm. The ODST ensign shone brightly in the dim light. Not to mention his ranking on his arm. Master Gunnery Sergeant. Finnaly they had destroyed Theta halo, now a piece of garbage floating around the endless vacuum of space. So many marines died that day on Theta halo, 20 among them were his men. He exhaled and shrugged it off. They were gone and there was nothing he could do. He moved to his bunk which just happened to be near a recruit. Perfect. Another one that'll just get killed. He moved to his bunk and sat down on the matress, placing his helmet and gloves next to him. ***** Mathias Anak His eyes scanned over the list, the list being in his left hand as his right hand scratched the back of his head.

Mathias placed the list back on the wall to the right side of the barrack entrance. At the same time Master Gunnery Sergeant Michael Hammer had already stepped off the list and walked past Captain Twombley. Mathias' head turned to the left as he took a step back to face where Hammer was passing by him. He saw the rank insignia on Hammer outer shoulder. The insignia and the fact that he had ODST armor was a clear give away that this was who he was looking for.
Mathias, who was simply wearing his off duty uniform, followed after Hammer. The Captain casually walked into the bunk room, soldiers he passed stood up to salute him as he passed by. Some of them acknowledging with salute and saying, "Captain." Mathias, for being an ODST wasn't exactly the hardass people would expect out of an ODST, especially one with the rank he held.
"Master Gunnery Sergeant Hammer," Mathias said as he came left face towards Hammer. He waited for a response from Hammer.

Michael looked up from his bunk and acknowledged the captain. His hard face hadn't changed a bit since the first time he had encountered war. But the look in his eye told a different story. It told of the battle strewn soldier who has encountered many beings and gun battles across the universe. He didn't stand up nor feel the need to even salute. He only had to greet him with a, "Sir?"

Mathias wasn't bothered one bit that Hammer didn't salute or even stand, he was almost glad. While the Captain enjoyed the rank he held, he felt it somewhat...annoying, to be constantly saluted around the ship. When he was in the dirt, it made it a regulation to those he under his command that they did not salute him when they were in hostile territory. In his command would be one thing, but out in the field, covenant snipers have sharp eyes.
"Im sure your aware that you've been assigned to alpha squad correct?" Mathias asked, sitting in the absent recruits bunk at the same time.

***** "Yes sir, I sure as hell do. They ******** messed up the lists." Michael ran a hand quickly across the top of his head. Good memories of long hair. He reached into his waist band and grabbed his pistol bringing it forth. He unloaded the guns ammuntion and then put the safety on, putting under his matress. "What is it?" *****

"Hmm no suprise, either way though, your my second in command. I can say that im sure as hell glad to have another ODST in the squad, mistake or no mistake." Mathias replied, he head turned over to the left, looking at where several Marines were making a friendly commotion amongest themselves. He soon turned his head away though to look back at Michael. "I haven't seen much of any of the troops from the Armengald, so the rest of the squad will probably consist of troops from the Titan. You familiar with anyone else in Alpha?"

"Yes, his name is Thomas Mendez. He's another ODST, one rank below me. He's a great shot and he knows when to keep his cool." Michael undid the upper torso part of the ODST uniform and set it on his bunk with only his white t-shirt left underneath it. His hand reached up and grabbed the bar for the bunk above him. GF|lancing over he couldn't help but think, 'a grenade would cause one hell of a commotion in that circle.' He was about to laugh but he choked it back. "Anything else?"

The Captain shook his head and stood up. "No, I'll leave you be. Take it easy Hammer." Mathias replied, and made his leave, passing past the Marines all in a flutter amongest one another.

Captain Twombley walked to his own bunker to rest for a few minutes. On the Armengald he was given his own personal quarters, but not on the Titan. He didn't care though, a bunk was a bunk. Mathias sat on the edge of his bunk, head slunged down staring at the generic floor. 'I hate this,' He uttered in the silence of his mind...
An hour or so went by, and Mathias, finding nothing else to do, ending up cleaning his rifle as he had so many times before. While he didn't have his BR55 anymore, he still knew how to disassemble and clean one quite easily. His new MA6B pulse action rifle was a big step above his old BR55 though. He was quite happy with it. The Oracle scope on it was a great upgrade to it as well.

He was standing in his full uniform and his helmet was under his arm. The pistol his drill sargeant had given him was tucked into his waist band.

Mendez trotted down the hallway, thinking about HALO, His men, His COs, and his Family most of all. As he went into his quarters, he lay on his bunk, pulled off his body Armor, and looked at the picture of his family hanging above his bed.
((What's all this s**t about me being Second in command?))
