-Transporter room #1-

Thomas walked up and down the Transporter room waiting, Thomas was a little nervous about this mission he had never did a mission quite like this. He had done plenty of Starfleet missions like this but never as a Marine. Unlike most Marines Thomas has not been in the corps all his life. It seemed to Thomas that most of the Marines seemed like they thought with there fist before the used there head. Thomas was never never one to just jump right into something without thinking first, but once he has come up with a plan it usually runs smoothly, that's how Thomas got where he got so early in his life.

Thomas's Marines were all ready all of them were standing at attention with the Rifle over there right shoulder. Thomas had herd talk from different Marines that there were some Marines who didn't believe Thomas could get the job done because most of his mission Tom was a Strategist and he usually stayed in the base camp and the field missions Tom did go on were special ops and to really direct battles. Some thought of as Tom as a officer just trying top a grunt, Thomas felt that most of them were just some shoot'em up grunts.

Thomas decided to check one of the grunts to make sure he hadn't forget were he was suppose to be or something. Tom taped his communicator. " Thomas Marritza to Chief Warrant Officer Kirby is your squad in place and ready to go?" Thomas awaited his reply.........

Thomas Marritza
