[SRP] Black Sun

[Zoey]

Stryker had just enough time to atleast get a rinced before being called out back again. Then again, he was frozen for a long time and he just loves the touch of warm water hitting his skin. After a couple of minutes he casually walks out and starts to gear up in his uniform. Pleasently whistling as he combs his hair and heads out.

"If it was left to me, I'd stay in the showers all day long" he says again keeping his belongings close to him.

[Brnin8r]

Bendak took his time making sure everything was at least rinsed before he stepped from the shower. To Stryker's comment he more than likely said to himself, he shouted over the water, "No one wants to die wet though."

Once finished, he stepped out and went to his locker and pulled from it his towel. He tried to listen to what was happening down where the other troops were. After he was dried, he put his undergarments on, briefs and a wife-beater shirt and then placed his uniform pants on. He had hoped this mission would be exciting, though when they told him he'd be back on patrol duty he was sorely disappointed. Nothing like stopping rioting rabble.

He weaved his belt through its holes and reattached his sidearm holster. Placing the appropriate gun into it, he walked into the assembly room, pants and undershirt on with his pistol.

[Knight Errant]

Bright yells at everyone a few more times, then arrives in the Assembly area. He salutes.

Lieutenant Hawkins glances up from a report he is looking over, then nods. "Easy, Sergeant. We arent at war yet."

He glances over at those who arrived. "We will begin once everyone is here."

[Brnin8r]

Bendak did little to contain his frustration as he was once again required to wait for the masses. "Sir, permission to speak freely, but would it take long enough to check me while the others are getting down here? I'd like to get to my first meal." he had saluted to the Lieutenant but obviously wasn't a morning person when it came to cryo-sleep.

[Haylie]

Being a quick walker, Paula (most everyone knows her only by her nickname, Paladin, and by "most", only Hawkins and Bright know even part of her name; Hawkins knows it in full) arrived next. She salutes to the Lieutenant and stands quietly at attention, though her eyes wander around the room from Bendak, to Bright, to the room itself, and back seemingly at random.

I just hope these pigs have something bordering manners, or there will be a mess to clean up. Most of it on me. Just my luck...

[Knight Errant]

Hawkins looks up. "This isnt a check, Ren'ark. I know most of you are new to the Hyperion, but standard procedures for a code thirty seven require me to inform all of the personnel of the situation immediately post-thaw. Said situation being your mission you were woken for."

He speaks cooly and calmly. He seemed a rather level-headed lieutenant, in fact in their time aboard the Hyperion, no one can remember him ever raising his voice. He seemed fine with leaving that to the Sergeant.

Bright just glares at Bendak, it was clear if the Lieutenant hadnt spoken up first, he would have gotten a right reaming out. Morning person or no.

[Harri-chan]

Vic glanced over at Bendak and shook his head. He leaned back against the wall and remained silent, figuring that would just get what he considered the boring stuff out of the way faster, and they could start using all the toys they'd brought with them.

[Evra]

After chris got all his gear he walksd up to where everyone else is looking around at bright then the other three in the room

[Brnin8r]

Bendak smirked, "With all due respect to the other troops, you might be able to send a letter of your announcement to them and they'd get it quicker." he resigned to his awaiting fate and leaned up against the nearest wall.

He glanced to the others, Paladin first. She always seemed like she had a stick up her hole; which hole depended on the day and her mood...despite her successful missions, she remained a tight-ass to even try to get along with.
Vic seemed shy to Bendak, though he had read his missions in the field were littered with eyewitness testimonies of his absolute glee with weapons...especially the heavy ones.
Chris didn't really speak much...and Bendak never really had the motivation to bother with him, even though his sniping skills were of note.
And then there was Bright; hardest Sergeant this side of the galaxy. Bendak often wondered how new trainees got out of his boot camp without broken legs.

[Zoey]

Stryker walked into the room and instantly felt the tense vibe coming from everyone. He raised an eyebrow and sat down quietly, crossing his arms. "Damn, I left my popcorn" he murmered as he await the officers to actually talk.

[Haylie]

Paladin glanced at Stryker and tried to hide her rolling eyes behind a blink. Stasis and constant glances from the men seems to have dulled her sense of humor, which isn't saying much, really. That's assuming she ever had one.

She remained at attention, ever silent, waiting with saintly patience for her officers to let her get some food. Despite her statue-like pose and demeanor, she felt like she could eat a whole whatever those big black-and-white grazing animals were called back on Earth. She always forgot anything she read that wasn't a briefing or new order. This didn't help her self-esteem, either. Not that she'd ever show it.

[Knight Errant]

Hawkins looks over the assembled group. "Very well... if anyone misses what I'm about to say I expect you to fill them in. We are a team after all."

He clears his throat, and ruffles through the papers he is carrying before beginning.

"You all have been in cryo for seven months, fifteen days, and seven hours. One month ago a distress call was sent out from the Hadley's Hope colony on planet LV-426. It was garbled with static, and no other signals have been sent since. The Hyperion has been chosen to respond, and we are now entering the system. Our mission is recon and aid. The brass lists probable culprits for this situation as either an industrial or natural disaster, or possible pirate activity. But this is all speculation, we wont know until we drop."

"Any questions?"

[Evra]

Chris looks around at he rest of the group standing perfectly still arms crossed over his chest seeming like a statue except when his chest breaths in and out and when his head moves lookign around he never really spoke but always listened as he thinks about the mission we just got filled in on figuring there wont be really any combat at all

[Haylie]

Paladin doesn't move, except her eyes. I wish we could get this over with so I can eat something...

[Zoey]

Stryker raises an eyebrow. "What form on communication did you use? Maybe low frequency radio will get to them? For all we know the signal could be jammed"
