Marine Operations Staging Area[/b]

Victoria had been up way before the rest of her team had been summoned to the area. However, it was only to move to the staging area, only to find that it was going to be a long while before briefing was going to begin. Since they were going to be in for a situation where rest was going to be scarce, she decided to grab some more rest. She was already suited up and readily, her MA5C ICWS hanging in her lap in a rather similar fashion as the other gentleman in the room seemingly doing the same thing she was doing. Her head was perched low, trying to slip into a state of rest before briefing commenced. She was well aware of her role in her squad, that was to treat the wounded and do as best as she could to save lives. However, unlike the rest of her squad, Victoria hoped she didn't have to put her skills to use, knowing they came in when things went awry and towards the unfavorable side. 

Unfortunately, she was roused awake as she heard footsteps get louder and louder, looking up as she saw the unforgettable armor pattern of their leader, Mullan. Since the room was getting more packed, she figured the idea of sleep was long gone as she groaned and got up off her seat and began to roam around, sizing up all the other members of the GHOST detachment, especially the newbies. These people were to replace the other six soldiers that died in the previous operation, which was quite the bit unfortunate. One of Victoria's closest friends, LCpl. Regina Watts had died in the operation, and Victoria was devastated once she saw her name on the casualties list, but got over it with time. 

Victoria walked into the Armory, to commence the process of double checking all of her equipment. She had noticed she had a similar loadout to her squad's leader, carrying both a MA5C Assault Rifle and an M7S SMG. It was uncanny, but it wouldn't really affect the both of them either way, hopefully. Since she was in her presence anyway, she would decide to strike up a conversation with her leader, and do some speculation on the new members of their squad. She walked up next to her, removing her helmet and smiling as she approached Mullan and greeted her. "Sergeant, have you had any contact with the new recruits yet?" She asked, "You think they're deserving of their position here in GHOST?"
