(Exeter - Shuttle bay 1- MXO, Lt. Major Sean Masters - 0935)

Because of his pep talk or despite it, everything did go off without a
hitch. They were waiting standing in a loose formation, as the squads
weren't assigned yet. Four minutes they waited for their new CO, then he
came calling.

A Romulan with a silver oak leaf on his collar approached the line.

" I am Lieutenant Colonel Na’Rel, your new commanding officer. From this
moment on all of you regardless of your history and past affliations, will
function as a cohesive unit. If anyone of you have objections of serving
with each other…then that is too bad. Your objections lost all their value
the moment you placed on that uniform. " Tyrek said as walked towards the
end of the formation and looked straight at Sean.

~I thought he'd be taller.~

" What we do here will set the standard for all who come after us." he
said, " Lieutenant Major Masters , step forward."

Without hesitation Sean took a step forward singling himself out from the
formation. "Here, Sir." he said loud and clear.

" You received my message ?" He asked.

"Yessir."

" All of you will have to earn the right to proceed to your quarters and
access to the Exeter's amenities." Tyrek paused.

" Actually only six of you will have to earn it for all of you. Failure to
do so will result in all of us spending the night on the hard, cold floor
of this marvelous shuttlebay."

~There it is.~ Sean thought but remained silent. He'd certainly spent the
night in worse.

(Reply room for reactions)

" Yesterday the security department of the Exeter ran tactical drills, two
scenarios. One scenario involving reclaiming the bridge from a hostile
force and the other scenario involved defending main engineering from
hostiles. " Tyrek said and stepped towards the line.


" I need you all to select two teams of three to complete these drills.
Each team will only be permitted the use of one type 2 phaser, one stun
grenade and 3 standard issue tactical knives. This is an exercise of trust,
initiative and execution." Tyrek explained as he looked up and down the
line.

" So choose wisely." He turned around and approached Masters." Have your
teams report to holodeck 1 at 1000. " Tyrek said.

"Understood, sir." was all Masters had said, his head and eyes had remained
forward the entire time.

Tyrek nodded.

" Proceed Major." Tyrek went to exit but stopped and turned around.

" By the way !" Tyrek said loud enough for everyone to hear him.


" 1st Lieutenant Roberts is exempt from the drills and therefore has no say
in the selection process. As she is our drop pilot, but she is no less free
of the consequences of failing than any of you are." Tyrek said and turned,
making his exit.

"I'm taking volunteers, I am one such volunteer, so I need 5 more."

"There will always be those who mean to do us harm. To stop them, we risk
awakening the same evil within ourselves. Our first instinct is to seek
revenge when those we love are taken from us, but that's not who we are." -
