On
Master Sergeant Dallas called formation and dispatched assignments. Added duties of security made each marine essential.
Rounding the deck Dallas spied one if the pilots, Foster entering the Captain's office.
"LT are you looking for someone,sir?" Dallas greeted." The Captain is in sickbay in a coma. I have been maintaining security in his stead. Maybe I can help sir?"
Foster handed over the PADD he was carrying. "Nice to meet you, Master Sergeant. I'm Second Lieutenant Aiden Foster. I've been temporarily reassigned as the acting Marine XO."
"XO? A transfer from the wings sir? Good deal. I will call formation and introduce you to your marines." Dallas replied.
Dallas quickly hastened and called for formation.
"Marines fall in. Attention ! All right marines. We have a new XO and I want you to show him why he is blessed to have this new assignment."
Performing about face he then turned and presented himself to 2nd Lieutenant Foster, Dallas saluted.
"Sir all hands present and or accounted for sir. 3rd squad is currently on security detail." Master Sergeant Dallas reported.
Foster saluted. "At ease." The Marines relaxed their stances. "It's a pleasure to be here. I'll be honest this order came down to me less than fifteen minutes ago, so I apologize ahead of time if I seem a bit scattered. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone." He paused and let out a little chuckle. "I also know of the "legs versus wings" Marine mentality. I won't lie, I'm perfectly fine with it, but in the end, we're all fighting on the same side against the same enemies." Foster turned his attention back to Dallas. "Master Sergeant, can you vouch for every single Marine under you?"
"Hand picked sir. With my life sir." Dallas bragged. He had followed all of these grunts through boot camp and meant every word.
"Very good." Foster, still new to all of this, paused for a moment. "Master Sergeant, what's on the docket for today's training?"
"Today 1st and second squad have tactical assault training in the holodeck. 3rd is on watch til 1800 hours." Dallas replied.
Foster nodded. "Sounds good. Mind if I come and watch the holodeck trainings?"
"Sir I would love it if you take the point." Dallas replied.
"That sounds good to me. Is there anything you need from me before I let your Marines get back to their duties?" Foster asked.
"Dismiss us out sir is all." Dallas replied with his salute.
Foster returned the salute. "Very good. First and second squads, I'll meet you at your designated times in the holodeck. Dismissed."
