Change was a constant fact of life and like all things star fleet had changed. War had forced it to change, it had to get better at defending its own people. Nothing represented that change more than the star fleet Marine corps. If you had told an officer not 20 years ago that there would be a solely military organisation stationed on their ship, they would have laughed you off and reprimanded you for being to aggressive and yet here it was. Like a phoenix born from the ashes of the MACOs it had grown into an organisation of hundreds of thousands. Men and women who where willing to lay down their lives, like all other officers, but these men and woman where different. they where trained for nothing but combat, although some specialised in other areas. They where the sword of the federation while security was its shield.And that sword had proved it’s worth defending the federation in countless battles, some more recent than others. For many in the federation one battle signified either the evils of the marine corps or their selfless commitment to those they served, Acheron. And the face of that battle, either its hero or its devil served in the heart of the Atlantis. In the centre of the ship in its very core, stood marine country.
The moment one stepped off the lift and into the hallways of marine country, you could tell it was different. Personnel milled about, as they did in the other areas of the ship but here their uniform was different adding dark green to the spectrum of division colours. Two guards stood in full armour facing the lift, their faces hidden behind the combat helmets so associated with the newest institute of the federation. There backs to a check point closing off the rest of the deck. A lone marine sitting in a small window.
Behind this checkpoint was the area commonly known as marine country the base of operation for the 24th infantry regiment. A space that stood as so many other areas did on so many other ships, basses and planets. A monument to the changes star fleet and indeed the federation, had been forced to make. An Area dedicated to waging war. And deep within this areas beyond the barracks, the armoury and the training rooms, stood the chambers of its commanding officer Lieutenant River Styxx, the Hero or the Devil of Acheron.

OOC: Sorry I got carried away a bit
Madison stepped off the lift, she was not used to Marines being on ship’s, but they were part of the crew and would be treated with the respect they were due. She knew that they had their function, and she knew that she would be employing their skills at some point.
She stopped in front of the guards “I’m looking for Lt. Stryxx.” She said
CTO
As Madison Approached the two marine guard snapped to attention and saluted, the young Andorain Marine behind the window did the same. The rank insignia of two chevrons on top of each other, on her collar showed she was a corporal “Welcome to marine country Ma’am” she said respectfully
“Lieutenant Styxx is in the bull ring. If you’d like to follow me. I’ll take you to her” she said as she pressed a button and the security door opened. As soon as Madison was threw the door it closed and locked behind her. The Young corporal began to walk, down the corridor. As Madison walked past the marines they stopped, stood to the side and saluted before returning to what ever task they where doing. The walk took The pair past the barracks male on the left female on the right, Past a few storage rooms and finally past the armoury. the armoury had a latticed window. NE RSM Qrow could be seen talking to a another marine it was hard to tell the age of the RSM as his eyes and hair where older then his face would suggest. Though it was hard to tell as he had four large scars running parallel to each other from his fore head diagonally to the end of his jaw.
The corporal with Madison informed her that he was the second in command and the marine quartermaster. They finally reached a set of large doors that slid open to reveal a very large open area. In the right corner where a selection of exercise equipment with various marines using them, opposite that was what looked like a firing range locked behind safety walls and doors. Force fields acted as window to look in to the see the marines using the range.
But the biggest attraction was the centre of the room as a large group of marines had formed a crowed around something. Making the way through. they would see a circle drawn on the deck and inside stood two figures one was a young man. The other dressed in a black sports bra and black three quarter length tracksuit bottom, hand wraps and black sneakers was River Styxx. She easily blocked a punch form the other person before countering with her own. she dodged and weaved as she blocked, parried then brought down her own attacks. The other person was able to get a few hits in. but River soon recovered. As Madison and the corporal got closer River pinned the young officer to the deck her knee on his throat. Although he looed like he was enjoying the position he found himself in, pinned under Styxx, the young man soon tapped her leg an she let him go.
“Not bad kid. Not bad” River said her voice calm and showing no sign of tiredness. she Offered the man a hand
“Except you beat me. Again” the man replied
“Hey listen. I’m a marine I’m trained for this stuff. You’re not. But don’t worry keep trying and keep practicing, and you’ll have the best right hook in the science department. Alright?” she asked as the man nodded
“Good then go get cleaned up.” she said that was when she saw the CTO.
“Officer on deck” she snapped he tone going to authoritive in an instance. As she spoke herself and the other marines came to attention and saluted.
“Apologies Ma’am. If had known you were coming I would have met you at the lift.” she said her tone sincere “Lieutenant River Styxx. Officer commanding Marines aboard this ship” she said introducing herself.
