I was in the relax room waiting to get Josh to meet the new guy. He walked in. I said to him "Hey Josh come meet the new guy" He walked up to a young man who seemed eager to meet him.
"C-commander Smith. I-I-I-I'm corporal-" He shuck my hand and he cut him off.
"Kid just slow down. One: We don't use racks and such when we are in here or in the field only when on parade . Two: Chill out OK now try again" He explained calmly and ,letting go of his hand.
"Oh OK s- um Josh. I'm um Finn it's nice to meet you" He said with a bit of smile on his face.
"That's a good man, now. Now the rules on the squad is just do what you can do and watch each other. You do your best 'cause that's all I can ask of you and as long as you watch us we'll watch you. Oh and we have a job to do so get your gear and lets get going!" He then yelled to all of us. I ran off and went straight to the VTOL because I'm always ready. I lent against a wall and waited for like 1 hour geez.

After a while Josh finally got over here and checked a few thick vest on the floor and said "Get off the mech vest and put this on".
"How come I asked?" I asked him. I could most likely guess.
"I'll explain in the mission brief" He said that as Jackie and Dave turned up. Then Finn and George got here too. "Alright the mission! It's fairly simple. We move in and find a base in the middle of nowhere but it's going to be hard because...Well it's in the south pool" A sudden moan came from all of us and Josh slowly got into the VTOL and sat down. We followed and looked at each other. George whispered to me "Is it just me or have Josh and Jackie not had eye contact since we got here?"
I thought about it "Your right wonder what's biting at them" George shrugged and dropped it.
"Josh this is going to be hell you know that right and who are we even fighting!?" Dave yelled over to Josh.
Josh leaned forward and took his rifle off the wall "All I know is that some guys are in there and need to be taken out and we need to find out what they are up to. Guys I wish I could tell you more but I don't know what to tell you!" We all sat back and waited it was going to be a long trip.

After ages Josh stood up and walked to the door "Alright lets go now!" and he just jumped out.
"Wait did he take a damper!" Finn yelled.
"Dude have you seen the guy? Do you think he needs one!?" Dave said jumping out followed by Finn and Harry soon after. I looked at Jackie and she was waiting for me so I ran over.
"Race ya!" Jackie said as she jumped out and I soon followed. I hit a button on my vest and I slowed down before hitting the ground. I looked around and could hardly see 3 feet in front of me.
My radio went off "Alright we use radio to talk and stay in visual site no more than 3 meters apart and one behind the other" Josh said over it. We had to move quick so we went of before anything could happen.
"Wait Josh ain't you part robot?" Finn said over the radio.
"Yeah why?" Josh asked after.
"Well won't your robot parts freeze up?" Finn questioned him.
"Yes they will....But don't worry I'm fine" Josh said to him.
We had to move then Josh doesn't have long now.
