Ray rubbed his eyes as he stepped through into the long hallway full of people, taking a deep breathe as he looked through the crowd then started moving, avoiding walking into anybody or accidentally shoving people, he lugged his possessions in a duffel bag wrapped over his shoulder. Not like he was carrying anything that great in the bag, mostly spare clothes, a few pictures, requisition forms, identification, nothing that when they searched the bag would force him to not bring onboard. He hadn't gotten much sleep since learning he was placed on the Vigilance for its maiden voyage, mostly just nerves coupled with that he usually didn't sleep that much, but he had managed to sneak in a nice power nap on the ride over to where he was currently, so he wasn't that tired, he was used to not sleeping much, it didn't bug him like it used to.

He heard come over the speakers inside the base, which caused him to pickup the pace as he moved towards the hangar, finally passing through it where the sight that greeted him made his mouth drop open in surprise. The Vigilance, it was huge, a hell of a lot bigger than he had been told, his eyes scanned it over, taking in the thrusters, weaponry and finally the crowds of people entering the hangar alongside him. He continued walking, coming to a stop where the other landermarines had gathered, these were his people, a grin almost came onto his face as he leaned against a wall, waiting for the commanding officer to show up, which she did very shortly which caused him to pop off the wall and snap into attention besides his fellow soldiers.

He listened to her speech, getting a good look at her as she spoke. He hadn't ever seen or talked to her before, he only was briefed on her, an admiral, but the captain of the Vigilance. She gave the usual rousing speech that a captain would give to their crew, then once she finished speaking all personal were ordered to finally board the ship, which Ray did as he picked up his bag full of items and got into line with the others, which started moving as they all began to fill the ship, him waiting his turn.
