Turn 8: Funeral Service and R&R Receival

[Cartwright]

The Hell Hounds stood at attention with the rest of the battalion. They saluted as the Marine Corps Band played Taps on the bugal and then dispersed into their own little groups, seeing some familar names on the coffins. Though, the Hell Hounds mainly converged on the one casket that belonged to one of their own. Sergeant Sammuel Dunn, their demolitionist. Hayek nodded his head and many Marines bowed their heads respectfully.

Tomala was walking again. He had cybernetic implants for legs. You could not even tell they were not natural. Modern science was a marvel. The lieutenant turned on his heel and though saddened by the loss of one of his Marines from earlier, he had some things to do.

"Hoot... you have been promoted to Private First Class. Congratulations." The lieutenant said, patting him on the back.

"Now, we are heading to Earth again. This time, we have been assured R&R for two weeks thanks to General Harper."

The Marines nodded and dispersed. They all took off their armor and got into their normal utilities and BDUs, either in groups speaking amongst eachother or alone doing their own things. They all had something to talk about.

Tomala said, ''Sammuel Dunn I didnt know him but im sure he was good marine.''

[Cartwright]

"Private Jones, welcome to the Hell Hounds. I sent in your transfer papers. You are one of us now." The lieutenant said, smiling at the woman.

[Shadow]

The Sergeant sighed then looked around grinning. "Yall seen anyone from Raven Squad? I got a bone to pick with their CO." He laughed SSGT Hayek was a melee combat and sniper specialist. Getting in a ring with him was near suicidal.

Tomala said,'' Jones welcome to the Hell Hounds. The squad of badasses.''

[ToxicJones]

Jones stood in silence, listening to the conversations around her. Funerals were NOT her thing, she wasn't one for the depressed scene. It swarmed all around, her face rigid, and her mouth set in a hard line. They were going back to Earth though, and that was something to be thankful for.
Two of the men congradulated her at once.
"Thanks! Im glad to be here." She said, grinning at them.

[Cartwright]

"I think I saw someone in the chow hall from Raven. Though not sure. My helmet was not on... which reminds me... Godchild, report to the Infirmary. I have set you up with an operation. Your fingers will be replaced and your eye. All cybernetic. Won't even need a helmet with that cybernetic eye."

[Mr. Death]

Elias had a joint out. He had promised himself he would quit, but hadn't gotten around to it. The Marijuana calmed his nerves, and helped him with the passing of the people he should've been able to save. He looked around with his one eye. A boot pilot walked by him and noticed the Swastika on his neck.

"You piece of shit" the boot said and spat on him. He held up a golden chain with the star of David on it.

Elias smiled but said nothing.

"Damn Hitler praising fucker" he said, but another marine walked up and shoved the boot the other way.

"Get out of here, you don't know who you're talking to. This is Corporal Elias Godchild, best damned Medic in the galaxy" The marine said, glaring at the boot.

"That's Mr. Death? I thought he'd be a little more. . ." He said and walked away shaking his head.

"You're welcome sir" The marine said kindly

"I didn't ask for your help" He said, but the Marine obviously knew Godchild and the guy he was, and nodded and walked off, unoffended.

Elias shook his head and put the Joint out, maybe it was time he quit. He had his bottle of vodka, as he did after every mission. He simply lounged around. . .If someone needed to find him, they would know where he was. He was putting off the medical operation, he didn't want to do anything right now.

Tomala couldnt wait to get back to Earth he needed to relax. After his injury he needed some drinks social time after all he had been fighting on two missions straight. '' First rounds on me when we get back to earth.'' Tomala said.

[Shadow]

Shadow punched the boot in the face (The one who insulted Elias) as he passed sending him to the ground, "Welcome to the squad, Jones. I'll be off in the gym if yall want to come fight Raven squad in the ring with me." Shadow laughed walking off grabbing the Raven squad marine in the messhall and demanding that him and his CO and Squad fight him in the gym.

[ToxicJones]

Jones grinned and followed the marine. A fight would be fun, great way to show that women kick ass too.

[bullet]

''Man modern science is amazing these legs feel better than my old ones.'' Tomala said.

[ToxicJones]

Jones hung back a little, letting the other drag a Raven squad member to the gym. She was getting a kick out of this...

John laughed. "A squad of assholes more like." he joked. "Good to see you Jen."

[Shadow]

Shadow stood in the ring boots off no gloves no helmet, only his uniform. "Well, let's see if yall are really as good as you think. Come on take on one of the guys who took a stroll through hell." He spread his arms out and waited for a challenger.
