Mihaii Mathias Anak 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. "Sir" said Michael to get the captains attention. 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. Mathias heard the familiar footsteps of armored boots come to stop before him. He was just finishing placing the Oracle scope back onto the scope rails of his MA6B P.A.R. Looking up he saw Hammer's face, "Yes Sergeant? What do you need?" Mathias acknowledged him in a curious tone, sliding back the action on his rifle making sure it slid smoothly.

TheFierceKnight 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?)) ((No worries, i think i just accidentally got things mixed up, thats all))

Looking up he saw Hammer's face, "Yes Sergeant? What do you need?" Mathias acknowledged him in a curious tone, sliding back the action on his rifle making sure it slid smoothly. "Well sir, I've been wondering" he started. His face didn't look very good, almost like he was sick, "I was wondering if you knew what the hell we were going to do next. I still haven't gotten the chance I wanted for killing my men."

Mihaii "Well sir, I've been wondering" he started. His face didn't look very good, almost like he was sick, "I was wondering if you knew what the hell we were going to do next. I still haven't gotten the chance I wanted for killing my men." Mathias said nothing for a moment, simply looking unto Michael's sickened face, but after the moment passed he let the action slam foward on his rifle then set it aside. A low sigh could be heard, giving hint that the Captain was also eager to give payback. "I haven't an idea in the world Sergeant. I'm assuming that we will be assigned to an operation soon enough though, considering command has been assigning COs and soldiers to new squads..." He looked around to his left and right for a moment then back at Hammer. "When that op does come around though, were gonna be the first ones to fight. Ill make sure of it." He finished with a reassuring look on his face to try and quell the sick look upon Michael's face.

Michael wasn't feeling to hot, even at the reasurance the captain had given him. His gut, his soldier intuition was there and the alarm was blazing. Something was going to happen and he didn't think many would live through it.

Captain Twombley could see that his words didn't have much of an external affect upon Hammer. The Captain stood before Hammer who was much bulkier then he at the moment because of the armor. Mathias was now alittle more agressive with his words, "Listen up Hammer, your an ODST now start acting like one. Your not a lowly navy lieutenant who is bound to a control panel on a hulking ship for hours on end, and you've got that extra edge over Marines which is why your a Hell Jumper." He paused again. "When the fight comes, you damn well better show why you hold the rank you do and why your an ODST, got that?" Mathias wasn't being mean to Hammer, he was simply trying to wipe any doubt from his mind. Mathias didn't need to have anyone under his command that wouldn't be 110% when the chaos erupted.

The words had hit him like a plasma cannon to an egg shell. "Sir, with all due respect, I don't think many of the UNSC forces are going to survive, including most of Alpha Squad and some of the Hell Jumpers. I know what I'm doing and Mendez sure as hell knows what he's doing but when the time comes that we have to look to you for our next move you better not ******** up. And I sure as hell have no doubt in my mind that you'll do what is right and that'll help keep the covenant bastards away from earth. I'm going to let you know now. When I say I have a bad feeling about something, I'm not wussing out. We got ambushed on the ring when I got that bad feeling. We got ambushed while planting the nukes when I had that feeling. And now I have it again." He saluted the captain and then went to ease. His spirit was all fired up now, and he was one crazy mother ******** when that happened. Probobly one of the reasons he was an ODST. He would make sure he didn't go down without a fight.

Now they were getting somewhere, the Captain was much more satisfied with the attitude now being displayed by Hammer. "Glad to hear it, and I swore an oath stating that I would give my life for the good of humanity, and I'm not about to break that oath." Mathias was starting to become pumped up himself, though only slightly noticeable. "Well whenever you get these 'bad' premonitions, you damn well better tell me that way I wont be suprised when something bad does happen. For now though, I will try to speak with command to make sure they are alert and ready." Mathias said, stepping off to the side to grab his gear from under his bunk, armor and all, and began strapping it on. "When it comes, we'll be ready. Make sure you have the rest of Alpha squad on alert." He continued, putting on his BDU's then his leg armor.

Michael took his helmet from under his arm and grasped it tightly in his hand. He then said, "I'm heading down the the port launch bay to see if I can gather some new weapon arrivals. The UNSC said my weapon would be coming today. Come see me if you want to find out more." He then tipped his helmet to the Captain and headed towards his own bunk first, grabbing the MA6B Pulse Action Rifle that he had taken from the crate in the hanger. He got in the lift and hit the button for the launch bay. THe doors shut and he was on his way.

Mathias nodded to Michael, "Alright, I will be down there shortly." After Michael left for the lift, the Captain quickly placed the rest of his armor on and made sure everything was tightly strapped down and secure. The last thing he grabbed was his helmet. He decided not to bring either his rifle or side arm with him. He would come back for them if need be, and they weren't needed for now.
Fully suited up, with his black helmet under his left arm, he trotted out of the barracks and into the lift, descending to the port side launch bay. Mathias was curious about the new weapon arrivals.

The two ODSTs continued walking towards the barracks, "Jacobs huh? I'll keep an eye out for him and make sure he's put into Alpha." They stood apart from the others walking past them, or with them. The black armor was a clear identifying trait of an ODST. Most Marines wore the olive drab colored gear with some camo on it well. While the Marines wore body armor, the Hell Jumpers had MJOLNIR armor, though not near as good as the MJOLNIR the SPARTANs had.

Michael traded hands again before he got to his bunk. He stopped and set the bag down, unzipping it. Inside was the disassembled rifle, V2. It was a custom gun but could be used for destroying all kinds of things out on the battle field. Including hunters. It would have to work. By this time Michaels alarm was blazing louder than before. Something in him told him he better get the gun ready.

Mathias and Michael parted ways, Mathias heading to his own bunk. Reaching underneath the bunk he grabbed a sheet of paper that had the names of all the members that were supposed to be in his squad. Finding something to write with, he wrote in the name 'Jacobs' at the bottom of the list, then folded the paper in half and headed back towards the entrance of the barracks.
Already he spotted someone else on his roster, Corporal Keith Benton. Corporal Benton was also an ODST, which Mathias was glad for. The Captain moved towards the Corporal. "Coporal Benton!" Benton turned to face the Captain stood to attention and saluted. "Sir," He replied. "At ease Corporal." Benton relaxed to the 'at ease' stance. "Alright, you've been assigned to Alpha Squad under my command. We could be on an operation soon, so I want you to be ready. And if you have any questions or problems find Master Gunnery Sergeant Hammer, or myself. Roger that Corporal?" "Yes sir!" Benton replied hastily. "Alright your dismissed, oh and do you know any of the names on this list?" Mathias asked showing Benton the roster list for Alpha Squad.
Benton scanned the names, "Yeah, I know Sergeant Hamill there." Mathias said, "Ok, when you see him, tell him what I told you." "Yes Sir." The Corporal saluted one last time then wandered off. Speaking to himself, Captain Twombley said, "Well now there's six of us, need to find the other four now."
