Finally where I belong. Dan thought as he entered the Marine area of the ship. It was colder and more military, and therefore to Dan, much more homey. He found the OIC River Styxx. “Lt Styxx? 2nd Lt Vladar reporting for duty.”

River was in the armour cage. She was checking over her battle armour. It was scratched and entered. A testament to the battles she had fought and how she always lead form the front. Her armour was nothing remarkable the only noticeable detail was a characterised reaper on the right shoulder.

“If you don’t keep an eye on your armour it can get less efficient. especially when it’s sitting in storage awhile.”she said as she got up and turned to the Vladar. River was wearing her black undershirt and her camo cargo trousers, her jacket was hanging off on of the pegs on the wall. she surveyed the man in front of her.

“I believe it is customary to salute your superiors, when meeting them” she said sternly “I hope it is just a small one time lapse” she added.

“Yes sir.” Testing me. How far will I bend for superior officers?

“So your the my new second in command. Have you stowed your gear?” she asked.

Lieut Styxx (Marine OIC)

“Yes sir.” He tapped his combat armour. On its right shoulder, three deep scratches were filled in with paint. “Everything is stowed and ready for use.”

River nodded “Very well. you are assigned armour locker 4, equipment locker 4 and armoury cage 4. I conduct random, unannounced inspections of all my marines equipment. As my second in command i expect you to make sure your equipment is f a higher standard then the rest of the marines. If your armour fails then you will be cleaning it and everyone else’s” she said as she walked over to her armour locker and put her armour away. Even though it was beaten up it was still immaculately clean.

“Put your armour in your cage and meet me outside when your done. I’ll give you the tour” She said as she turned to leave.

Lieut Styxx (Marine OIC)

Dan caged up all of his equipment. All of it was battle worn, but well-maintained. As he locked up his armour, he traced the three scars on it with his fingers. Sometimes he wondered if becoming an officer had been worth it. Or if he should have died as Sgt Vladar.

He emerged and found River. He saluted, per regulation. “Sir. All equipment in assigned lockers.”

River returned the salute then started to walk at a brisk pace “As marines signed to ships, our tasks and responsibilities are different form ground or even starbase based marines. We are here to assist the security personnel and officers. with everything form security drills to repelling boarders. However if you ask me we should be the ones in charge of security. If Marines are assigned to a ship they should have overall authority on matters of security. Despite my feeling we have a strong bond with the Security officers. we respect each other. I do not want this endangered in anyway, so teat the security officers with the respect you think they deserve.” She said as he came to a door, two marines where standing outside on guard, as soon as they saw river the snapped to attention and saluted.

“Good show gentleman” River said as she walked in. the room they had entered was one of the barrack areas. it was a vast room with bunk beds going all the way to the back. terminal where in between them. the room was filed with marines, chatting, playing chess and arm wrestling. Two marines were in front of them testing who cold do the most press ups.

As soon as one of the marines sighted River she shouted “Officer on deck” In a split second all the marines stopped what they where doing and fell in at their bunks, snapping to attention. River walked further in and stopped in front of the marine who had shouted, she had staff Sargent stripes. she was also one of the marines doing press ups “Well met. staff Sargent. i trust you beat private Valk” she said simply.

“Naturally Ma’am” The staff Sargent replied a half smile on her face.

“Good. i have brought a new marine to day. I’ll let him introduce himself. he will be my new second in command” she said turning to the gathered Marines and then gesturing to Vladar to introduce himself. how he did that was up to him.

Lieut Styxx (Marine OIC)

“Sir.” He nodded to River then looked back at the barracks. “Marines. I am 2nd Lt Dan Vladar, formerly of the 105th Marine Infantry. Yes, I have a cybernetic arm and eyes. The story goes; small space plus grenade. Beyond that, don’t ask. Lt Styxx and myself seem to share a philosophy. Respect your comrades, respect your station, and you’ll do fine. Let’s get to work.” He looked at River.
