Turn 1: The Boarding

[Cartwright]

"Shadow to Combat Wombat, do you copy? Over."

"Roger that, Shadow. I copy. What ya need? Over." Sergeant Dunn inquired.

"I am coming down to CB1. Do not ice me. I repeat, do not blow my friggin' head off. Tell Sauerkraut and Iceman to hold their fire. Over."

"Roger that. Can do, Shadow." Sergeant Dunn said, shooting the two Junior Marines glances.

"Oh, and next time, when you want to breach protocol, make sure your COMM is off. I heard you askin' Sauerkraut about classified information. Don't do it again. Shadow, out." The staff sergeant said.

Sam felt embarassed. He had definitely breached protocol by attempting to extract classified information from the boot. But still, Hayek had to agree with what he said.

Anton looked over to Dunn and shurgged. He didn't care that he wanted information, who wouldn't be curious about something as strange as this? He nodded back to the Sergeant, knowing to keep discretion about his shooting.

He pulled the canister of water from before from his pouch, setting it next to him. They might be here a while and he didn't really want to reach into a pouch everytime he wanted a swig of water. He moved himself towards a crate to use as cover, setting the canister down. He used the crate as a stand to steady himself even further.

The sergeant entered the room and sighed in relief. No one tried to take his head off. He ran to the nearest cover position, near Krause and set up, aiming his assault rifle at the door. Sergeant Dunn moved to a nearby cover position and mimiced the staff sergeant's actions.

Warning: Hostile landing craft two kilometers and closing.

After awhile, the entire ship shook and the sound of many ships' clinging onto the hull of the frigate could be heard quite audibly.

Warning: Hostile lifeforms onboard the ship. Security Teams Alpha through Sierra, dispatch to defensive positions.

The battle was about to begin. The lieutenant had arrived with Second Squad and Hayek was with first. The only question now was, which squad would get hit first.

Anton looked up, the loud clanging noises were a bit of a shock. He mumbled a prayer to himself in german, "Gott, gib uns Gnade zu akzeptieren, mit Gelassenheit die Dinge, die nicht verändert werden kann, Mut zur Veränderung der Dinge, die geändert werden sollten, und die Weisheit zu unterscheiden einerseits von der anderen Seite.", after he finished he let out a long exhale.

He tried to keep his focus on the entrances into the cargo bay and the ceiling, God knows where they might come from. His head was clear, no thoughts resided within.

"Do us a favor and speak in English, please." Sergeant Dunn exclaimed to Krause, but was shot an evil glare from Hayek.

"He can speak German if he wants. It was a prayer. Don't mind Dunn, Krause. Just stay frosty." Hayek said, taking a slight offense to Dunn's outburst.

Hayek himself, had German in his blood. To find a person who WAS German pleased him somewhat, even if he was a boot. Time would tell what would happen to the young Marine.

Anton looked down in shame. "Sorry si-", though his apology was cut short by Hayek. He smiled a bit, he had someone on his side and as a greenhorn, he needed all the friends he could get, though it seemed he might have an enemy as well. He wondered how Hayek knew of the German prayer.

He thanked Hayek with a nod and went back to his scanning of the room. He kept his alertness at it full capacity, though not to have a happy trigger and shoot someone unintentionally.
