Oliver hardly listened to the debriefing at all. Just the usual crap was thrown around with exeption that they did well for once and nobody was scolding him for his shenanigans and stuff. The tigers ears only twitched a bit when the general spoke of people wanting to see them fail. For a moment Oliver taught that his father might be involved but that man preferred to see the young tiger dead. Or at least that is how Oliver thinks about his father. His thoughts quickly drifted away as the tiger laid his eyes on his two new teammates. For the moment he wondered where the colonel had found such beauty. The old man sure had a good taste for women even though he probably did not select them for their looks.

As the order was given to ride back Oliver kicked his GEAR into full speed. He only had the chance to play around with the GEAR during the past training exercise and was dying to find out how far he could push his Saxknot. Oliver pushed the throttle forward and the GEAR speed up. The wheels on the Saxknot's legs kicked up dust as the machine speed away. The tiger could feel his machine vibrate heavily as it approached its top speed. Oliver was pretty pleased with what he saw on the meters. Not bad for a piece of metal. As the Claw came into sight Oliver approached the ramp at full speed. Only pulling the breaks hard at the last moment, making his machine spin 90 degrees, pushing up another cloud of dust as the Saxknot came to a grinding halt only a couple of meters from the ramp.

Oliver smiled as the anger looks and raised fist of the ramp crew showed up on his monitors. Especially the one who duck away looked really pissed as the tiger walked his GEAR up the ramp and onto the docking spot. Oliver quickly climbed down from the GEAR in order to avoid the very pissed ramp crew commander and snuck out of the GEAR deck, rushing his way off to the showers making sure he was one of the first to be there so that he did not have to wait in line. After a quick refreshing shower the tiger switched into a fresh set of cloths and made his way to the common area. 

As Oliver walked through the doors he noticed he was one of the first Rough Riders to enter. Might be a bit boring but with beer on the line you could never be too early. Oliver just figured that the rest was still busy with stuffing their GEARs away. He made his way to the bar and ordered some beer. As the tiger poured down some of the yellow gold liquid down his throat he noticed the colonel addressing some people. These must be the new recruits Blade was talking about earlier. With these and the two GEAR pilots that joined up after the exercise Oliver has a busy schedule of socializing to do. Not to mention his promise to Raisa to have a drink with her too. 
With a beer in his hand he approached the group of people gathered around the colonel. Oliver raised his beer as a sign of greeting and spoke. "Yo, you guys and gals must be the new recruits? I'm Oliver Stone. Nice to meet you all. You can continue to listen to the boring speech of the colonel or come with me to drink beer, have a good time and meet the rest of the crew. The choice is yours"
