this is a small series recounting the deployment of a ragtag group of soldiers under the highly regaurded 131st TS Shocktroopers. The nicknames are besed off of me, my friend mike, his friend collin, and several other members of the TS Clan on Call of Duty.

Book 1: ******** New Guy

The day began as any other, a group of us were huddled around during our down time telling tales of the battlefield when Lieutenant Commander Brandon 'Blackiechan' Shields came over to us, a scrawny soldier by his side.

" I would like you to meet Private Rad henderson, he is joining us on a spec ops mission with the british," said Lt. Cdr. Blackie Chan.

" What? What happened to Buckly?" asked Lieutenant 'Psycho' Mike Steele. 1st Lieutenant Dave 'Dtrain' Strainivoski walked over to our squad, not noticing Private Henderson.

" He got moved up to the HMS New York for its madien voyage, he will be serving with the 235th now," I replied, " Now, onto what i was going to tell you: We have just been assigned to assess a frieghter out in the Pacific, Intel believes there is a nuke on board on of them."

" Finally some action, haven't seen any since I came on duty!" said the Private.

" FNG," said Dtrain and 'Rad' Micquien together.

Oct. 6 2009, 16:05 PACIFIC TIME

I sat at the edge of the helicopter, smoking our traditional cigars before beiing dropped on the ship.

" How much longer until we see the ship?" Mike asked, leening out of the window.

" ETA 3 minutes, you should be able to see the lights now," replied Captain Tyco over the roar of the engines.

" Okay, lock and load everyone!" I yelled.

" Shotgun!" said Dtrain to himself.

" Cover right, check those corners, check those corners!" I barked, we ran down the corridor to the crew cabins of the ships.

" Hey! you there, come here buddy!" said one of the crew, obviously drunk. I shot him in the chest, we moved on down the hall.

" Good night," said Rad, shooting two guys sleeping soundly on theur cots.

" Movement, down the hall," said Mike, he bolted after them, killing one and alerting the other.

" No, big boy," said Mike, dropping the second guy.

" Okay, this is Blackie Chan with the container, on your command, we will remove it," I said.

" No time---get out of there, they opened fire! s**t!" screamed Tyco, we all got thrown to the ground from the force of the impact.

" Get up! I yelled, we are leaving, Private, grab that small device and let's get out of here!" I yelled.

" The ship! Its capsizing!" yelled Dtrain.

" Go! Go!" I yelled, trying to out run the falling material," Watch those walls."

" Which way?" asked Rad.

" Left!" yelled Mike.

" Where is Tyco?" I yelled to myself," Go, go! get on board!" I grab Henderson by the arms and pulled him onboard the helicopter.

" Get us out of here!" said Mike.
