Castle To D-8

[Taylor Lannus]

​

​

~​

Taylor entered her officer's study for the first time since acquiring her rank. The room would be simple, a desk with a leather desk chair behind it and the rest of the room with a lounge with other chairs for the comfort of guests that may arrive. As the newly appointed captain sits upon her chair a flashing light appears on her data-pad, alerting of a message being transmitted and once clicked upon, would inform her of a new squad being made with the list of members that are to be assigned upon it. The message was encrypted, simply code-named 'Castle Squad'.

The flashing name that took her notice was the soon to be squad leader, sergeant [member="Torin Trin"] and with a single tap of her data-pad, his information and history opened up for her to view. After reading up on the man, she decided to send him a message but decided to put on her on-duty attire and place upon her helmet, which had an active voice modifier, then simply recorded a message.

"Greetings sergeant Torin Trin, I am captain Taylor Lannus and you have been assigned to my leadership. I would like to speak with you, so your first order as my subordinate is to come to my study on the double, room D-8 in the officers wing of the One Sith Army Corps headquarters. Transmission over."

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin was crouched down, aiming his SE-14 Light Repeating Blaster down the rifle range. Suddenly Torin's comm link lit up as he recived a message, although he waited to finish his shot before checking it. Torin was in the zone, and this was his best shooting so far.

When he eventually checked the message it was from a person named Taylor Lannus. That was a name he had heard around, they were just promoted if he was correct, so why would they want him? Torin pushed the thought aside, he was given an order thus he was expected to follow it. Quickly Torin packed away his rifle, hanging it up on the racks and began marching towards room D-8. He was in his normal stormtrooper armor, although the armor showed signs of battle and slight damage, but it was kept in relatively good condition.

Upon reaching the office, Torin would remove his helmet, holding it in his left hand. He quickly combed over his hair, and then tapped his knuckles on the frame. "Corporal Torin Trin, reporting in sir." The warrior stood at attention, giving a salute and awaiting further instructions.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor stands from her seat, still wearing the armour that was so iconic within the stormtroopers. She would stare at [member="Torin Trin"] with somewhat of a confused look, despite Torin's inability to see her face it would be felt from the silence between the pair for a moment. The captain would take a couple steps around the table to scan the man's figure before clearing her throat and speaking, the mask's voice modulator working at optimal condition.

"Corporal? I was informed that you were promoted yesterday, unless there is another Mr. Trin that I do not know about."

 

[Torin Trin]

Color would begin to rise in Torin's cheeks. He had been a Corporal for so long, I guess old habits die hard. Torin quickly suppressed his embarrassment. "Yes I was promoted yesterday. I was just testing you Sir." Torin somehow managed to keep a straight face while speaking.

Quickly Torin tried to change the subject to avoid the awkward situation. "You requested my presence Sir?" The soldier still stood at attention.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would raise an eyebrow at the oddity that seemed to be [member="Torin Trin"] and simply nods lightly, with her hand she would signal the sergeant to be at ease and pointed towards the chair across from her own chair before walking around the table once more and taking the seat of her own. As the captain takes her seat she would then speak to the sergeant but only after he sat himself.

"As you know, squads are led by trained sergeants who have been ready and training for the position for a long time. I have summoned you here to assign a full squad to your leadership."

The captain would allow the sergeant to have a moment, watching the excitement appear in his face before speaking some more.

"Unfortunately, you are more comfortable as a corporal. So, I shall assign you a squad that allows you to remain comfortable within the corps."

Half-way through speaking, Taylor begins to type on her data-pad and would continue to do so, both as she finishes and as Torin replies.

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin would stand more comfortably, before moving to a seat and lounging down into. He would suddenly straighten up at the news of becoming a Sergeant of his own squad. The emotions swam through his brain. This was what he had been waiting for his whole life. But to every good there was a bad. He was only going to have a small squad.

His eyes flared quickly with anger, was this Captain demoting him all for a silly mistake? He quickly rose, his stubbornness kicking in. "I can handle a full squad Sir, it's what I am trained to do."

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would finish typing up a message, both of which are ready to be sent to two separate soldiers of the One Sith Army Corps. The captain finished in time for the sergeant to rise from his seat and declare himself able to handle a full sized squad. It seemed to amuse her but she didn't choose to show that, her hands would meet and simply placed in-front of herself as the visor of the captain's helmet would stare directly towards [member="Torin Trin"]'s stomach, refusing to look up.

"Sergeant, do sit down. Whether you can handle a full squad shall be up to myself and what I observe whilst you take up the squad leadership position. Until you have proven yourself, I have two privates that are to be transferred directly into your command but before that I need to assign you the small details."

With a quick clearing of her throat, she would get out several objects from her side draw all of which being symbols of the soon to be made squad, the symbol being this.

 

[Torin Trin]

The defience was set in the Sergeant's eyes. But he began to think, if this Captain was to demote him, why would they call him Sergeant? Slowly Torin gathered himself, placing himself back into the chair. He regathered his thoughts, this Captain was offering an oppurtunity that wouldn't come around often, and if he did well maybe he would get a full squad. Torin nodded to himself, as if mentally accepting the task.

"What are these details?" Torin looked at the objects that Taylor got out of her draw. This could be interesting.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

"Headquarters have code-named the squad as 'Castle Squad' consider that the official name and these, are the badges that you and the members are to place such upon your uniforms."

Taylor would then clear her throat, before speaking once more to [member="Torin Trin"].

"Is this understood sergeant? Any questions?"

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin would inspect the badge, nodding as he studied it. "Castle Squad, I like it." Torin would take the badge and place it on the armour. Seeming to try it out and liking. He'd then look to the Captain.

"Who will I be reporting to?" This was the main question on his mind. But many other question could easily take it's place.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would have a soft smile come to her lips once the sergeant has placed the badge upon his uniform so casually, she would then speak to [member="Torin Trin"].

"You will be reporting to me, though not during hours that you are on duty with the squad as I will be overlooking you in-action."

The captain would give a couple moments to allow this to sink in for the sergeant, it wasn't everyday that a newly made squad leader would also be informed that his commanding officer will be by his side at almost every moment.

"No better way to evaluate you than at your side. Anything else sergeant? You have my go ahead to speak freely, if we are to work efficiently I require my squad leader to get his curiosities settled."

 

[Torin Trin]

This was surprising, the boss working along side the men, it was an interesting turn of events. But that would most likely be the best way to get an accurate evaluation of the troops. His pay didn't matter, that would be for the Corps to decide.

"Who are the privates? Do you have access to their files?" Torin knew that a squad had to work together and be able to get along both off and on duty. So giving a quick scan over their profiles would prove to be valuable.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would press a couple buttons on his data-pad, opening up private Victor Obrien's information and turning to face the monitor towards [member="Torin Trin"] for him to see.

"Private Victor Obrien, one of the two surviving members of the Dark Knight Squadron, he is one of the men you shall be leading and will be the first one that I shall call in, I advise reading the information before I summon him."

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin would scan through the information, nodding as he read over it. "A Dark Trooper aye?" Torin would scratch his head. "He could definetly come in handy. What happened to the second one found with this Victor?" Having one Dark Trooper would be good, but two is always better than one.

[member="Cpt. Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would move the monitor back to it's original stasis, before beginning to type on the computer. The captain would allow the silence to continue as she wrote up a message to [member="Victor Obrien"]'s data-pad.

Private Victor Obrien,
Make your way immediately to my study.
Room D-8, Officer Wing, One Sith Army Corps headquarters.
Signed, Captain Taylor Lannus.

After hitting send, she would then reply to [member="Torin Trin"]'s question.

"I believe he was assigned to the Navy fleet, though I am unsure as it doesn't concern us. I just sent a message to the private's data-pad to come here immediately."

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin would nod. "This is going to be an interesting meeting." He would continue to sit and await for Victor to arrive.

[member="Taylor Lannus"]

 

[Victor Obrien]

Victor enters the room standing tall holding a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon in his right hand, he immediately drops the cannon to the ground Rasing his hand to the visor of his Helmet for a salute to the captain.

His voice muffled by the helmet "Private Victor Obrien reporting as requested sir."

He stands straight awaiting for his orders.

[member="Taylor Lannus"] [member="Torin Trin"]

 

[Taylor Lannus]

Taylor would return the salute before motioning for private [member="Victor Obrien"] to look towards sergeant [member="Torin Trin"] and speak simply.

"Private this is sergeant Torin Trin, he is the squad leader of Castle squad and you are being assigned to his command."

The captain would begin to type up something more, allowing the sergeant and private to interact with one another.

 

[Torin Trin]

Torin would rise and approach Victor, extending his arm for a hand shake. "Victor, good to meet you." Torin would begin assessing the man with his eyes, taking note of the big Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon. This man was definitely the heavy of the squad.

[member="Victor Obrien"]

 

[Victor Obrien]

His voice muffled but still stern "It's good to meet you to, Sergeant." He continues standing tall not making any movements with his hands behind his back, shoulders relaxed legs shoulder width apart.
