| Seltak Oct 24 2010, 11:03 PM | "My men have yet to let me down, and I've been on several ops with them, though we haven't been against a gundam yet, so it will be interesting to see how good we really are, but I don't see too many problems arising." As far as the colonel went, he agreed completely with the young man. "Better at tactics? Not many. Leader of men? That is something would need to be addressed, at a later time of course." He smiled at the kid's jokes. "Well if your team wants to cower behind my team's backs while we take down the gundams, don't blame me for dropping dimes on you about the colonel." He smiled at his own joke, albeit a cheep nip at his team's performance, it was completely harmless, at least to Seltak. Walking into the COC, the colonel looked up from the map against the wall and greeted both lieutenants, ushering both to the map he was looking at. "As I stated earlier, two gundams are moving towards our FOB (Forward Operations Base), at great speeds. Though we have the resources to stop both, we do not have the men to take them on in time. Black Company and the Phantom Pains are to intercept the gundams and their mass produced escorts. You will be dropped in by helicopter, and will be escorted by two squads of power armors for assistance." He turned back to the map and pointed to an open area surrounded by thick forest. "You will be dropped here, six clicks away from the gundams' predicted positions." The colonel turned towards the two officers and crossed his arms. "Any questions?" Seltak shook his head. "I just hope our beam weapons are done being repaired. Though the recoilless rifles are nice, beam rifles would be a wiser choice to take on gundams." |

He replied finishing his peanut butter sandwich he had. Nothing better than pure carbs and protein before a big battle and after that encounter earlier he would need it. After all it was straining on the body and mind to fight in a power armor. "Let him pop a vain. I'm sure there are better field officers out there anyways." He laughed and then stopped and went dead silent. "Tell him I said that and I'll make sure those Gundams getcha ya..." Then he grinned again. "I'm just messing with you." Kyle finished standing up and patting Seltak on the back. "Kids these days and there jokes." He was joking on himself at that point because Seltek was much older than him and apart of a different generation. "Lets get going and show those trouble makers that how we run things." |
| Seltak Oct 24 2010, 10:05 PM | "Names Lt. Kyle Ryder and I'm the team leader for Phantom Pain. I've heard good things about you and your recon team." Seltak laughed a bit before putting his PDA down on the table and looking at the kid across the table. Looked just like the photo he had just been looking at. "If you've heard good things about me, you must not have had access to everything." He shook his head and pushed his tray back, then turned towards the lieutenant fully. "I was about to read your report on today's operation, but from what I've heard, you do exceptionally well on the front lines." Seltak was about to ask him about the rest of Phantom Pain when his radio began broadcasting. "Lt. Amani, report to the COC at once." Seltak rogered up into his radio then stood, knowing the command would coon call for Ryder as well. "Guess we better head back to command before the colonel pops a vein." He waited for the lieutenant to stand so they could walk to the command tent together. It would be good for appearances if their men saw them together. |
| Kylern Oct 24 2010, 09:15 PM | Sitting down at the same table was Phantom Pain team leader Kyle Ryder. He had gotten out of his Dagger power armor and was dressed in a USMP special operations uniform which was black instead of the standard color. A squad patch was over his shoulder which depicted a Grim Reaper with a pair of scythes crossed. "No need to look my team up Seltak, cause you can ask me any question you like." The silver haired young man asked. Unlike Seltak Kyle was young even by special operation standards and probably more inexperienced in terms of combat operations. But he wasn't a newbie... Kyle had excelled as part of the USMP Hunter Division and had experience in fighting Gundams. He even tried to fight like one using the Sword Striker. "Names Lt. Kyle Ryder and I'm the team leader for Phantom Pain. I've heard good things about you and your recon team." He smiled which seemed odd considering the fact he had brought a Zaku II head back with him like a trophy of old times. The brutally efficient leader of a squad known for its gruesome tactics and lack of care for the lives of their enemy. In this setting it would appear as a normal everyday young adult... |
| Seltak Oct 24 2010, 08:59 PM | Seltak had just turned off the water when he heard the rest of his platoon leave the locker rooms. Stepping out of the shower, he dried himself off quickly and began to change into his BDUs. Reaching into his locker, he pulled his sappy plate carrier and pulled it on. The newest models would stop a .50 cal round from penetrating, but would knock you on your ass and probably break a few ribs in the process. He'd been shot one too many times not to walk around without it. The carrier was different from a regular flak jacket in that it had only two plates, one for the front and one for the back. This gave the wearer more maneuverability than the bulkier version that held four plates. Seltak grabbed his .45 pistol, it's holster, and strapped both to his right thigh. Seltak pulled the pistol out, checked the magazine, then holstered it again. He also placed two full magazines into the magazine holder on his carrier. After this was completed, he pulled his carbine from it's rack. He pulled the bolt back, locked it in place, checked for proper lubrication, then slapped the bolt back into place. Grabbing three magazines, he slapped one into the magazine well, then placed the other two into the magazine holder on his carrier. After being properly fitted to his standards, he walked out of the barracks and towards the mess. He was hungry, and he needed to get food before going out again. The only reason he hadn't eaten before showering was he didn't eat much as it was, so if his meal was cut short, it wouldn't be that bad. Sitting down at the table, he noticed a few soldiers he'd met before on the battlefield, and one particular that he'd saved from an ambush. Shaking his head, he pulled out his PDA and started reading up the spec ops team he was to work with on this next operation. Hopefully the rest of his team would be able to work with others. If not, the gundams would be the least of their problems. |
