A marine transport slowly glided into the orbit of Titan containing two squads and gear. Onboard newly promoted Sergeant Major John Dallas watched as his squads sat or slept.

" Alright, Princesses nap time is over. Wake up were in orbit of Titan." the first sergeant yelled.

Groans followed but in moments they looked like a recruiting poster.

In the cargo bay of the USS Amandora, the marines exited and formed two squads, Alpha and Bravo. MS Dallas calls them to attention and addressed his squads of marines.

" Dress right dress!"

The squads snapped to this order.

" Eye's forward."

Dallas smiled and proceeded to address his squads.

" The paint is still drying on this ship so watch your step and keep your hands clean. Let's show our new CO who we are...Raptors."

" Raptors Attention! " Dallas yelled as they all awaited the inspection of their new CO.

Henry was notified that the Marine compliment was arriving and hurried to the cargo hold and waited for Mr. Dallas to report to himself, as his senior NCO walked towards him he returned his salute and said "Sargent Major, Is everyone present and accounted for?"

Master Sergeant Dallas saluted the approached Captain Redex.

" Sir all present and or accounted for Sir" Dallas answered.

"Very Well Master Sargent", said Henry and then to the men and woman in his new detachment "Marine Captain Henry Redex, you are ordered to proceed to the USS Amandora at your earliest convenience as her new Marine Commander"

He then spoke to the men "I am MCAPT Henry Redex, and as per the orders I just read to you I formally take command of this detachment. As marines, we are known to be ready for everything and we are an extra layer on the ship's security... let me tell you one thing, the captain must be protected all times and at all costs, I will not have her death on my watch... IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?"

All in chorus replied, " UNDERSTOOD SIR !"

"Very well MSGT Dallas please dismiss the troop", answered Henry

" Sir yea sir." Saluted Dallas. " Company Attention ! Square yourselves away and meet for chow hall. DISMISSED ."
