The Newest Soldier

FIV Revolution​

Resurgent Class Star Destroyer​

Orbit - Dossun​

​

"Admiral on bridge!"

Jayden didn't react, instead he just walked down the bridge. The Revolution was a newer Resurgent Class Star Destroyer and it had been dispatched to the capital of the First Order to collect it's full crew. Jayden had skim read each and every single file of the new crew members, he'd read each and every single academy report on all of them. Many of the new staff were fresh from the academy but Jayden expected it, he was a new Admiral and he knew that his crew wouldn't be the most experienced of the lot. However, they would become better in time.

"Are we ready to dock?"

He glared at the First Officer slowly as he spoke. The First Officer would a much younger gentleman, experienced but still naive. The young man took a look towards another officer who offered a slight nod. Jayden listened to the man's reply anyway, even though he didn't need it. He'd seen the nod himself but it was worth listening anyway, respect and all that.

"Give the order"

"You heard the man! Prepare to dock!"

Jayden stood on the bridge, staring as they began to dock with the space station above the planet.

Talon had arose from the barracks. He'd just completed his formal Navy training, and now was able to join the ranks of the faction he cherished to no end. But he had many different views on the war. The young Ensign had always been a pacifist, something truly contradictory in war. Nothing could change his views, he hated killing other men. But this is how it was. Instead of a gun he took a stun baton and became adept at using it. He aced his combat testing with few flaws compared to his armed brothers. Docking the ship jolted around a bit, throwing Talon to the ground. He regained his balance and made his way to the bridge to meet with Admiral Jayden Sanders. The Ensign approached slowly.

"Uhh, good day Admiral. Nice to see everything is going as planned. Anything I could do for you?"

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Jadyen always enjoyed watching the ships dock and the slight jolt was almost calming. He dispatched the First Officer for a while to go and assist on assigning new troopers to their new quarters and squadrons as well as working with the Legion Commander to sort the new naval officers and assign them to their new positions on the bridge. He kept his eyes focused on the interior of space as he heard the elevator behind him ding.

He glared at the stormtrooper slowly. He was CT-8273, one of the newest recruits brought aboard from the last pickup they did. Jayden scanned his eyes over the trooper carefully. No ensign normally had chance to commune with the Admiral, but maybe this ensign could come in useful. He turned on his heels, walking towards the trooper slowly.

"CT-8273. You are to go and assist the First Officer with assigning the new units to squadrons"

Talon heard what the Admiral was saying, but was shocked that he was assigned this task. Normally those higher ranking then him were put in charge of the troops and where they went. Today was only his first day, but already he was given a place of leadership. He saluted Admiral Sanders.

"It will be done Sir!"

He turned around entirely and marched out of the bridge room and down to the elevators. Excitement flooded him as he pressed the down button.

"Only a couple of minutes ago I was an Ensign with no set purpose. But now I'm assigning my own brothers to squads! How in the world does that happen? Maybe they saw my desire to be an Admiral myself one day. I'd be in charge of a large supply ship and be key factor in every battle we do. But this will take time. For now let's stick to what I've been assigned to."

The elevator shot up and made the world famous ding sound. It opened and a few soldiers and officers poured out and scattered in many directions, each to do their own tasks. Talon looked and saw that no one else was coming, so he jumped in and selected the hangar bay button near the bottom of the control panel. He flipped his baton up and down through the air, catching it after every throw. After about a minute the elevator screeched to a halt and the doors swong open. This wasn't his floor, he was two down. A few officers walked in and immediately took notice to the out of place Talon in the elevator.

"What's the matter? You get lost? You get into some trouble?" They mocked as Talon blushed under his helmet.

"No, I was told by Admiral Sanders to assign recruits to their new squadrons."

The officers were in shock, why would an Ensign be allowed to do that? A burly man piped up.

"Eh, what did he do that for? You don't belong here. What's your ID?"

"CT-8273 or Talon. I'm assigned to this because I have ambition."

His floor was reached and he walked out.

"I'll eventually be the guy who's ass you'll be kissing too."
(Let me know if this line is inappropriate. I thought it was funny)

He made his way to the hangar and spotted the men he would be assigning. Talon smirked,

"It's show time."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Many of the new recruits come piling from the shuttles. Many of them tumbled over each other while another dropped a loaded blaster onto the floor. A deck sargeant ran up quickly, shouting orders at men who looked like they hadn't slept in hours, many probably hadn't. A recruit stood out from the rest though. He was carrying his perfectly immaculate armor and seemed interested in the ship. He stood tall above his brothers. He was obviously the "head" of the recruits that CT had been ordered to sort through, a burly lad who looked liable of killing a man with his bear hands no problem, he looked dangerous with his blaster.

All the soldiers were big, scary lads who looked well trained.

Before CT could admire however, the First Officer run up.

"Good, you're here. Admiral Sanders told me you'd be coming, although why he assigned you to the task is beyond me. However, you're here now and I won't question him. You have recruit batch 189 Alpha. They're going to quarters 1.098 to 1.112, if the big dude messes with you then just tell your Sergeant and he can handle CT-9898. They are joining the Wolfpack, Admiral's orders"

Jayden had set up Wolfpack the first time he had commanded "The Revolution" and the name was feared on board. They were the strongest and meanest soldiers and they formed Jayden's personal guard. The 207th Legion was a large Legion who served aboard "The Revolution" but they were known for the Wolfpack and the Knights. The Wolfpack were the guns and the mean bodyguards and the Knights were the pilots.

You mess up, you get a visit from an angry Wolfpack.

All of these recruits were ready to get at the enemy. Big men ready to rip the head off of anyone in their path. Talon heard the orders from the officer and saluted him.

"It will be done quickly Sir!"

Pulling out his stun baton he turned to the large crowd in front of him. They knew it was time to be assigned so they shut up quickly.

"Alright boys, today is signing day. I'm Ensign Talon or CT-8273. I've been tasked with assigning you to your squad."

One of the soldiers yelled out from the back, it was CT-9898

"What's a man like you doing assigning us? You're only an Ensign, like the rest of us."

"I was told to do this by the Admiral, now learn your place trooper." 98 quickly shut up

"Now, if there aren't to be any more remarks, I'm proud to announce that you are henceforth members of the Wolfpack!"

A huge wave of silence flooded the area. These men just got assigned to an elite fighting force. Many of this men were now time bombs waiting to go of, they were that excited. In a sudden burst the recruits jumped, cheered, and shook hands with their brothers. A new chapter had begun for these men, and Talon was happy to be on the first page. (OOC: That analogy was so cheesy omg)

IC:
Talon silenced the crowd with a wave of his hands.

"The Admiral wants you in barracks 1.098 to 1,112 asap. Good luck gentlemen. It was an honor. Now move it!"

Cheering again the new Wolfpack recruits grabbed their gear and sped of towards the barracks, eager to get settled in. Talon made his way back up to the bridge and returned to the bridge. He again approached Admiral Sanders.

"It has been done sir, and they're really happy. Although CT-9898 did poke fun at me, it all went well. Anything else that requires my assistance at the time Admiral?"

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

Jayden wasn't on the bridge, he had retreated to his private quarters. A bridge officer would lead Talon down there and let him in. Jayden was expecting him, and he waved his hand towards the ensign carefully. The office in his quarters was quiet and traditional, nothing fancy but wood panelled. The desk sat between the two, and Jayden slowly closed a folder on the terminal. He looked up towards the ensign slowly.

"So then. Thank you for that, the Wolfpack can be quite rowdy. However, you gave me chance to look over your personal file. Most ensigns wouldn't come onto the bridge without being invited and would get their orders from their duty sergeant. However, you seem to surprise me. Your file says you want to become a naval officer so I'm going to give you a chance. As of now you are in active service under Duty Sargeant Ryk. He will give you orders and jobs to handle around the ship. The moment you prove to him that you are worthy of promotion to Lieutenant, I'll see about placing you as First Officer either on this ship or on one of the escorts we have"

He stared hard, still not smiling. If the officer became a Lieutenant he would only have one more rank before he could command a Victory-X class star destroyer.

"Do not let me down. I'll let Ryk know you are on the way"

The Office of [member="Jayden Sanders"]

Talon was shocked by what he just heard.

"Wait, you mean I'm getting promoted?! With all due respect sure, I've not been here for long. And as for that special access you said I got, I merely just walked in because I wanted to help out. I appreciate all this and will gratefully take this on, but I thought you should at least know that. Thank you Admiral, I'll return shortly."

Running out of the office he raced down to his barracks and grabbed his gear. Many thoughts were running through his mind: how was this happening to him, what was to come of all this, and when will all the action start. He'd been itching for a battle since he joined. Granted he wouldn't be firing any guns per his own views, he could do many other things and he was sure of it. Glancing at his watch he realized that he'd been standing still for too long.

​"Oh no, Sergeant Ryk is expecting me! I gotta go!"

Now in a sudden sprint he sped of to where Ryk was located, gear and everything in hand. Now it might seem like he had a lot of gear on him, he merely carried just his stun baton, datapad, and note-taking supplies as he learned through Sergeant Ryk. He finally made it to Ryk and hastily greeted him

"Ensign CT-8273 "Talon" reporting for duty Sir! Sorry for being so late, I spaced out a little. It's been a big day for me."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

The Duty Sargeant took a long, cold stare at Talon. Admiral Sanders had passed a message to the elderly Duty Sargeant. CT-8273 had been put under his active service and the Ryk planned to make him work for any and all of his ranks he would gain. The Duty Sargeant crossed his arms behind his desk softly, studying the naval officer carefully. He wanted to see exactly what the officer was made of and that was his plan.

"CT-8273, huh? Good, I was expecting you. If you want to progress then I want you to prove to me that you have what it takes. You work under me now, you will serve me. Your new cabin is 8.9981. It's at the end of the corridor. Now go settle in and report back to me within the hour"

Talon gazed at the man as he took in what he said. He was going to be put in the command of a Sergeant, the first step to his promotion was to be given out by this man. Grabbing his gear he turned and faced the old Sergeant.

"Thank you Sir! It'll be an honor working with you Sarge!"

Slinging his bag over his shoulder, he walked out of Ryk's quarters. A big shout of HOORAY echoed through the corridor as the happy soldier danced down the hall. Many could only dream of getting an opportunity like this, but Talon felt like his dreams were coming true. Dancing around like a bat out of Hell, he bumped into into a man who looked twice his size and was probably twice as strong. Talon stood up to face the man.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I got a little too excited about my promotion opportunity. I can't believe I...."

It had just occurred to him that he was once again face to face with 98. The big buffoon had flamed him before in the hangar, and he wasn't going to let it happen again.

"Eh, excuse me 98. I'll be on my may now."

As he took of running, 98 shouted back at him. "Congrats on the promotion."

Talon could only smirk and roll his eyes at what he'd just heard. Did he really just congratulate me? After how much he disliked me. Wow, I guess people can change. After a decent walk, cabin 8.9981 blazed into view. He entered his ID in the keypad and walked into his new room. It had a big office area and a decent sized bedroom area as well. Checking the foot locker by the bed, he placed all of his gear into it. Talon glared at his watch and realized he was a bit late reporting back to Ryk. I better get going. He charged down the hallway and quickly made it back to Sergeant Ryk's quarters. After catching his breath he calmly walked back in and gave his report.

"I like the room Sergeant, it's nice and roomy. Once again I thank you for this opportunity for we to advance in rank."

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

"It's up to you to prove yourself"

He was blunt in his wording but the ensign needed to know how much he would need to work to step up to Lieutenant. The Duty Sargeant stepped up to the ensign carefully, looking down on him. He knew that Admiral Sanders had already given him a hard job but it was nothing compared to what the Duty Sargeant would put the man through. In fact his first task was quite enjoyable and something that would test him.

"Yourself and three other naval officers have been given a chance to prove yourself. You're transferring over to the Victory X for the new few hours were you will be left in charge of the bridge. It's a six hour a job and your shuttle is waiting. Now then, the commanding officer is expecting you so don't stand around and get going"

Had Talon heard that right? Did this man really look him in the eye and say you will be left in charge of the bridge? Yes, yes he did. Talon stood there for a second taking it all in. He knew that it was his time to show his capabilities. Talon saluted the Sergeant.

"Thank you Sir! I'll get down there asap!"

Hastily retreating to the shuttle, Talon ran many thoughts through his mind. What if it goes wrong? What if I'm not ready, if I embarrass myself? What will they think? The trooper realized how much this meant to him and that he couldn't screw any of it up. Oh shut up, I know I got this! I'm Talon, I never give up! And it seems that my shuttle is here. He reached the shuttle and told the pilot who he was.

"I'm CT-8273, Sergeant Ryk sent me. I assume you know what I'm here for?"

The pilot simply nodded and Talon strapped into his seat. He saw the looks on the other recruits. Nervous, just like him, but he didn't show it. He was ready to make them proud...and to hopefully gain a promotion as well.

FIV Resulote​

Victory X Class Star Destroyer​

Dossun Orbit​

​

The commanding officer of the Resulote had offered his ship for training purposes. He felt it important to give Ensigns training and so he made sure they got it. This time Admiral Sanders had asked for his ship to give a few ensigns some practice and he had happily agreed. He had vacated the bridge, leaving orders to the bridge crew to summon him should the ensigns make a serious problem and accidently shoot someone. He sent the First Officer down to the hanger to meet the ensigns as they travelled over from the Revolution and to lead them up to the bridge and then retreated to his quarters. He was content with his choice.

The First Officer would never understand the choice. Who would let a group of untrained ensigns take command? However, orders were orders and he had to follow them. He stood patiently, a little Lieutenant who had made sure his uniform was spotless. It was the Resulote scheme that actually helped him become a Leuitenant but he chose to hate it anyway. The man had to be awkward, it was programmed into his youth.

The shuttle roared into view of the Victory X, it was time. He stood up and addressed the others.

"This is it, time to show what we're made of!"

A few soldiers and crew members gathered near the hangar to help the shuttle unload. Nervous recruits walked out and were instantly greeted by an officer working on the ship.

"Captain wants you on the bridge, you'll receive further information from their."

Talon and the others each exchanged glances with one another. They grabbed their gear and made way for the bridge. He ran thoughts through his mind.

I know I can do this, I've trained my whole life for this moment. This is my time to shine. The other recruits have absolutely nothing on me, I'm the only one who can pass.

A little sign appeared out of the corner of his eye. He motioned the group towards it. It read, Admiral Sanders' recruits: bridge is straight ahead. Tension was felt by everyone as they approached the bridge. Each and every one of them had trained for years to receive this opportunity. But not all of them would immediately pass. Some lacked confidence, others weren't even born leaders. They reached the bridge and they looked around for the captain.

"I wonder where he could be?"

OOC: Sorry for the spotty post, I was trying to get this up A.S.A.P

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

It was one of the ensigns who spotted the note, reading it out to the group. They had an hour each of actual bridge control and each one would be rated 1-10. He with the highest score would gain a point. He with the most points at the end of their ensign period would be made First Officer on the Resolute. It was all about fighting to gain a place on the Resolute, that was the plan. They needed to fight to gain a place. Many of the recruits would look worried, although a few would replace the worry with excitement. It was a game, a fun game where one would gain a job on the Resolute, the Victory-X.

The First Officer looked at the ensigns slowly. He knew which one was up first, he just didn't know which one of them corrisponded to the name he was given. He clapped his hands, making sure each and every ensign paid full attention to him.

"Well done, you found the note. CT-8273 is up first, everyone else will stand in the ready room"

Talon immediately assumed command of the bridge. He addressed the scanner monitors first. Though this was a non combative assignment, he wanted to make sure that nothing fishy would occur.

"You there, run bio scans for a three parsec diameter of this ship. I want nothing to be out of order here."

The older officer looked up at him, confused as to why an Ensign was commanding him. Following orders, he started the scan.

"Uhh, ye- yes sir!"

beep, boop, bop! Scanners went of in search of life. As part of his philosophy, scanning should always come first. Think of it like a pre-ignition check when you drive a car. You need to check your bio scans, ships scans, and even your turrets. Not one thing could be out of place. Another thought hit Talon as he addressed a stalky lad.

"Check the ship scanners and run all pre-flight diagnostics. This ship needs to be clean."

With everything now falling perfectly into place, Talon could now relax a bit more. These kids don't stand a chance against me. He remained there, arms crossed, waiting for anything new to pop up.

FIV Revolution​

​

Admiral Sanders stood on the bridge, grinning. The Communications Officer had given him the news he was waiting for. Jayden uncrossed his arms from behind his back, turning his head towards the First Officer. He enjoyed teaching ensigns, he got to launch fighters at Victory-X class cruisers with no regrets. He called the Communications Officer forward with a wave of his hand, as well as Captain Rhys Sylon. Sylon headed up The Wolfpack, the 30 man large personal force of Sanders.

"Inform the Resolute not to open fire, however do not allow the cadets to over here"

The Communictions Officer offered a nod, walking back to his station.

"And what would you have me done Admiral?"

"Ready two fighter squadrons. Inform them to lower weapon power, they can attack The Resolute but not break through sheilds"

"Yes, Admiral"

"You requested Wolfpack?"

"There is a shuttle ready for you. Set blasters to stun, you are to replicate a boarding party"

"Understood. The Pack, out"

Everyone was ordered. Sanders grinned. He was going to enjoy watching the ensigns react, he wanted to see what they would do. He wanted to see what they would do and how they would do it. Wolfpack was ready to take people out and the fighter squadrons would enjoy shooting the ship. The cadets probably wouldn't enjoy it but it would be a good way of teaching them and helping them practice. It would be a good way for them to practice what they learned in the academy.

"Check the scanners one more time sir!"

Several blips appeared on the map.

"Sir, there's an enemy squadron approaching us. They may try to board us. What should we do?

"Target the starfighters, I'll take a squad and deal with them myself. You other recruits, your turn is now! Watch the bridge, give me constant bio and ship scan updates as well. We don't want to lose this ship."

Talon turned and ran out of the bridge room with twenty other troopers. Blasted enemy, why must you attack on my turn? You couldn't wait for the others? The Ensign pulled out his stun baton, as he was opposed to using guns, and made way to the hangar bay. An update came through.

"Sir, the enemy is rallying at the south entrance. It's a full on boarding party. Don't lose the hangar!"

'Enemies' from the boarding party opened fire on the troops as the first squadron thundered over Victory X. Men were thrown to the ground from the blasts, Talon included. Talon motioned to a gunship near the enemy position.

"Take cover there, stack up and stay on my ass!" (OOC: If that last word isn't allowed, tell me and I'll change it.)

The group darted over to the gunship. On the way three men were 'shot down' and cried out in pain as they fell. Talon stood horrified.

"How in the blue blazes did they even find us? The scans were clear up until now! Ahh, get ready to counterattack. Three, two, one, GO GO GO!"

'Bullets' went everywhere as the men fired back. Talon crept around to the enemy position and began attacking them with his stun baton. Deflecting the blaster fire, he went into a locked mode of fury.

"You're never taking this ship, NEVER!"

Stunning three soldiers in succession, he came into view of the captain. Running full speed, he tackled him and began to fist fight him.

"You'll never get me!"

 

[GhostOfProtocol]

The captain was a strong man, a man who had trained for years. He wouldn't even struggle to overpower the ensign, the soldiers storming in next to him. They opened fire on the young ensign, stunning blasters opening into him. The captain scrambled away and stood next to his men, stood next to the Wolfpack. A siren would be going off around the ship, fighters flying past and opening fire on the cruiser. It was a battle that had been set up well.

"A good Admiral never leaves the bridge!"

He sigh softly. The Wolfpack grinned, the recruits that Talon had showed around earlier all grinned, guns at the ready. Rhys placed the gun to the head of Talon, a smile on his face. He waved to the two cadets behind him, and they stepped forward.

"Let's move. You're going to give us clearance to the bridge and admit defeat"

Wolfpack grinned.

[CT-8273 (Talon)]

(OOC: I stunned all the other soldiers, only the captain was left. Whatever.)

Talon stud up and brushed himself off. He knew the mistake he'd made. Anger coursed through his veins. "I know this is probably some test [member="Jayden Sanders"] organized. But that doesn't mean I'm letting you onto the ship. I left the bridge seeming how the other recruits were still there. I told them to watch the bridge while I was gone. Can't you understand that? Anyway, I guess it's time to fight back." Talon stunned the captain with his tun baton and picked up a dropped blaster, still set on stun. He mowed down 'enemies' and made his was back to the other soldiers that came with him. "I don't care if you're in on this, stay with me!" The group marched back down the corridor where another congregation of soldiers were at. Shots rang out as they took cover. ​I can't believe I'm being blamed for this. I told the others to watch the bridge while I was gone. What is the harm in that? Then again, that's the ground soldier coming out of me. I'm no longer a trooper now, I'm a damn Ensign! And this Ensign will get promoted. He ran out towards the combatants screaming CHARGE! Even if he violated rule number one of any Admiral ever, he wasn't going to give up. Turning left, they made their way back to the bridge.
