Re: Initiation

---------------------------------------------------------
Foxtrot steps forward to meet his new team. Already two ponies,
higher on the ranks from what he notices, approach him.
"Lieutenant, nice to meet you," the first one says as she offers
her hoof. "Gunnery Sergeant Rodan. I'm your new Platoon
Sergeant." As Foxtrot shakes the earth ponies hoof, she nods
over to the unicorn next to her. "This is Staff Sergeant Newton.
He's the platoon's Communication Officer, our link to HQ."
"A pleasure to meet you both," Foxtrot replies as he shakes
Newton's hoof as well. "I look forward to working with you two
out in the field."
"Likewise sir," Rodan replies, "Well, you gotta meet the rest of
your team, so we won't take more of your time. Cmon Newton." The
stallion nods and follows Rodan as Foxtrot makes his way to the
first squad.
The noctral up front looks over to her troops. "Apple Squad,
look alive. We got an officer on deck!" The ponies do a quick
salute, which is returned by the lieutenant. "Sergeant Kiryu,
reporting in. Captain Coldsteel's told me quite a bit about
you."
Foxtrot raises a confused look. "Ebony? Oh that's right! You
must've been part of the new transfer program the Lunar Guard
set up."
Kiryu nods, "Affirmative. The other noctrals and I were the
first ones to sign up." She turns around to the others, "Here's
the rest of my squad. My Fireteam is led by Corporal Lightspeed.
Lance Corporal Curie is the squad Medic; Private First Class
Tauros and Sikorsky are the Rifleman. In terms of my Weapons
Team, Corporal Ada calls the shots. That short stack earth pony
there is Lance Corporal Kolibri, our support gunner. Private
First Class Aqua Tail and Khaluah are the Scout and Engineer
respectively."
"Nice to meet you all, Apple Squad." Foxtrot shouts, "Can't wait
for us to raise hell soon." The squad replies with a concerted
"Oorah!" before returning back to their conversations. With two
more squads to go, he approaches the next Sergeant in line.
"Butter Squad, rally up!" the sergeant barks. The earth pony's
mannerisms seem more professional, more by the book. The squad
salutes, which Fox does in return. "Sergeant Colton, head of
Butter Squad. Scuttlebutt has been saying quite a few stories
about you, sir."
"All good things I hope?"
Colton keeps his 'thousand yard stare,' "More or less.
Regardless, Butter Squad will have your back through thick and
thin."
"You butter believe it!" The young mare standing in the row
behind him chirps, garnering several eye rolls, face hoofs, and
groans around her. Rather opposite to Foxtrot's chuckle or
Coltons blank expression.
"That's Lance Corporal Sassy Sauce," the sergeant resumes, "She
and Private First Class Tropicana make up the Fireteam's
Rifleman. Private First Class Doc Weathers is our Medic, and
Corporal "Red" Hartstock is the team lead. Our other Corporal,
Corrion, is in charge of Butter Squad's weapons team. Lance
Corporal Shockwave is our Engineer, while Private First Class
Vakarian and Wrex are the Scout and Support."
Foxtrot nods to each of them before looking back to Colton.
"Looks like a fine group you have here, Sergeant. I'm sure
you'll all do fine. As you were." As Butter Squad eases up,
Charlie Squad prepares to meet their new commanding officer.
A unicorn mare stands in front this time. The usual greeting is
exchanged before she begins. She seems more relaxed than the
first two, and her language proves it even more. "Hello
lieutenant. Sergeant Baker reporting for duty."
"Nice to meet you sergeant. You seem a bit more... relaxed for
somepony being part of this outfit."
She smiles, "Oh I'm excited sir. But talk is cheap, and actions
speak much louder. Trust me, out in the field, Charlie Squad
will be the loudest and proudest. So let me introduce my squad.
Steel Wing is the Corporal in charge of the Fireteam, Pfc.
Minute Maid is our medical professional, while Pfc. Allen and
LCpl. Garnett are the Riflemen. Let's see... Silver Shroud leads
our Weapons Team, you'll never guess what rank she is. Going
down the command chain is our Scout, Springfield. And last but
not least are our Engineer and Support, Howdah and Airburst;
both Private First Class."
"I see the Commander has a lack for picking the best of the
best."
"Damn straight, sir." Baker remarks.
Sassy Sauce's voice suddenly calls out in the distance, "Boo,
Charlie Squad. Boo."
"Alright, alright." Foxtrot says, quieting the troops.
"Everyone, I'm damn proud to have you all under my command.
Working together I'm sure we'll be kicking flank and taking
names in no time! Oorah!" The platoon echoes his last shout
before quieting themselves. The lieutenant returns back to
Broadshield. "I like them already."

Broadshield watches on as Foxtrot introduces himself to his
platoon, strangely enough, feeling a bit a pride. "I see Foxtrot
is meeting with his platoon." a voice behind him says. Looking
back, he sees Szar approaching him, although no one else seems
to notice. "Yeah, he seems to like them, they seem to like him.
Its good." Broadshield says as Szar takes his side. It's good
that they are all on good terms, I'm sure they'll do well."
"We'll find out in due time."
"Are you ever worried that..."
"Worried about what?"
"Worried that they'll... you know, leave?"
"I understand that you're worried, how do you think I feel
whenever we form new platoons, further build up our units?"
"You still remember about Vulture Squad? When they went rogue
and left?"
"How could I not? I was there when it all went down, but I can
assure you that this won't happen again. For everything that's
happened in the past, I don't believe Fox would be one to up an
leave."
"But if he does?"
"Then we'll deal with it the right way."
"Understood boss. I gotta go."
"Where are you going?"
"Ponyville. There's been an issue there, and I need to brief
Rogue and the 141st on whats happening there. Apparently there
are Royal and Lunar Guard going to be on that mission as well."
"Alright, good luck, and keep in contact." Broadshield says,
ending the conversation as Szar makes his way upstairs.
Just as he closes the door behind him into the observation deck,
he sees Foxtrot approaching him. "Good to hear that Fox. I'm
sure you and your platoon will go far." he says before stepping
in front of the platoon. "Alright, now that you're all
acquainted, I can now officially say that you are all now a part
of the 33rd Infantry Platoon, as part of the 9th Combat
Batallion, Canterlot Division." he says, before he turns to
Foxtrot. "Alright soldier, your platoon, now you get to lead."
he says, before handing him several patches, each indicating
their platoon and battalion. "These are for you and your
soldiers. It isn't complete yet, but we can work on the details
later-" he says before a soldier bursts into the room and
gallops towards Broadshield, saluting. Broadshield returns the
salute before the pony gives him a scroll of some kind, reading
it silently and privately. He nods to the soldier saying "Tell
them I'm on my way." before the soldier once again salutes and
gallops out of the room. Turning to the other soldiers who are
watching to see what was happening, he says "Apologies for that
interruption, unfortunately something has come up which requires
my attention. With the patches should be where your new barracks
will be. Be sure to collect your stuff before you go, and listen
to your leader. If you'll excuse me." he says, saluting his
soldiers and giving a nod to Foxtrot as he bolts out of the
training room.
(We'll have final posts and then I'll close this thread.)

"Alright, see you later Commander." Foxtrot says as he watches
him exit the room. Shrugging, he looks over to his platoon,
"Platoon, first order if business is to return to the barracks.
We'll get these patches on and then we'll continue with some
drills. Move out!" The unit shouts a resounding 'Yes sir!'
Before exiting in single file to start their day.
