Shuo was about to ask about the mark when Xiask cut him off."Also Shiva is it? I should tell you that you are getting bumped in clearance for this mission. Seeing as how the team you will be joining will be handling some "sensitive" matters. Who knows do a good job and it might stick." Shuo again was baffled by the informalness of this all so far. The 10th's had the authority to do these things certainly but it had been awhile since he had seen this kind of laid back attitude. Just then Xiask turned on his heel quickly and said "The 4 of us should get moving to a more private area. Follow me." Xiask said as he started towards the elevator door with Dersick matching his pace. Shuo quickly picked up his duffel bags and along with Shiva followed them to the elevator. Once they got in Xiask put his palm on the touch pad and they shot downwards suddenly. They passed by more docked hangers and a few docked frigates on their way down.
The ride was rather short and mostly silent except for the two officers catching up. Once the doors opened it revealed hallway with one door at the end and two on either side. Dersick motioned for them to follow him. They walked down all the way to the end of the hallway and keyed a number into the touch pad. The door slid to the right and revealed a room rectangulaur in shape and a table in the center to watch the the shape of the room. But the wall opposite of them was a giant glass wall. They all piled into the room which was rather spacious. The window overlooked a hanger bay which was a buzz with workers running back and forth with robots and power armor to help them lift material. Both officers looked out the window for a brief second and then turned around. "What's going to happen in the next 24 hours is rather simple and at the same time highly important to the Sovereignty at large. Both of you will be reperesenting our government and peoples on a joint species team. This is the result of a rather long process of us lobbying for more power over prosecuting citizens of alien governments. Whoever our efforts have been stalled in allowing us to rid our space of terrorist xeno's and this was the compromise that was reached. While our efforts will continue for now you two are going to cooperate with the assembly as much as possible. One thing you will remember however is that both of you are Sovereign citizens. Your loyalty is to your people and not to these capitalists, remember this above everything." Xiask said in a much more serious tone than what they had experienced the whole way here.
"Like I said before Shiva you are the best field medic in all of our armed forces, while Shuo your loyalty has never been questioned and you're one of our finest soldiers. During this mission both of you will sign non disclosure agreements pertaining to the other races. We ask that you use extreme discression if you choose to reveal anything to the others. To finish this up do either of you have questions?" Dersick said in the same rather serious tone as Xiask said his piece.
Shuo thought for a moment. "Say we we're asked to commit a crime against the Sovereignty. At that point what becomes the plan?" Shuo said, knowing what the answer might be but he needed to hear it.
Dersick responded "We would say that at that point the NDA and the deal are off. At that point both of you would make it your priority to come into contact with either us or someone else on the chain of command who could do something with it. Protect yourselves and our peoples." Dersick said with a nod. "Well anything Shiva?"

Now the posting fest begins.
"Desrick you son of biaoz!" Xiask said as he held out his arm towards the new Masulu. The other one reciprocated and grabbed from the bottom the others hand. They then brought each other together into a sort of half embrace. They then both backed up for a second."It's real good to see you it's been what 10 years?"
They both were now completley apart now. "Has been that long damn. Makes you wish the war never ended!" The one named Desrick said breaking into a bit of a laugh while Xiask joined in. The laugh then died down as fas as it had started. "Oh we should introduce them properly. My name is Desrick and that's Xiash both of us are tenth, also served in the war together." Xiask then motioned over to Shuo which he took as a sign to introduce himself.
Dropping both of his duffel bags to either side of him he pulled up a salute towards the officers and the other arrival. "Shuo Yuyun, 5th echelon, ArmSpecWar. I have been instructed that I will be spearheading this operation once we get underway." He then said dropping the salute. That was when he noticed the marking on her forehead. .she was a traitor. Shuo's eye twitched and for a split he thought about reaching into his bag for a gun. But then again why else would they have brought a marked one. He decided to put his hands behind his back and adopt a wide stance while waiting to be introduced.

Alright sounds good. Though we should probably contact leon.
Shuo had all but his helmet on. He and his squad had just come out of the armory and were ready to go at a moments notice. But they were about to be given their final breifing. He walked through a metal door way just as the door slid open before him. His squad following close behind. He came up to a table that was somewhere over 4 feet high. At the other end of the table was an older looking Malusu women in her dress uniform. Though it was a different color and style to his own, he guessed she was Intelligence. " Good evening soldiers, I'm sure you have all been over the intel multiple times now and the mission info. However we just got new intel on our objective."
The table infront of him lit up with a dark blue surface to it with a grid overlayed on top of it. Suddenly a human tied to a chair with a bullet wound in his head appeared on screen. "Our advance teams confirmed yesterday that our defector was caught and executed by the Mother bear yesterday. However they have confirmed the integrity of his cerebral back up. However they were unable to obtain the device itself. So this just became a smash and grab." Suddenly the hologram became the image of a building hundreds of stories tall. "We have the floor down but we are unsure how many vectors are actually in the building. Intel suggests close to 500 throughout the floor above 100. We intend to begin bombarding the building close to your arrival and after. We should be able to sneak your drop pods in under the cover of the bombardment."Suddenly the hologram added 3 long green cylinders to the projection." You will be inserted here and climb 5 floors to reach where we believe the intel to be. After that you will go up another 20 floors to this connector and cross buildings. We will level the building once you leave it and you will extract on the landing pad on this building." She said pointing to the building that had appeared to the left of the original one." Any questions?"
2 weeks later...
"Welcome Shuo Yuyun to the space station Harmonious Amity! It seems you are due to hanger 27b on deck 72. Please enjoy your stay on Pax!" The female Tempu said to him in the most upbeat tone he had heard in the last month. He grabbed his bags and began leaving the processing area. He began looking around at the sharp and clean blue on white architecture with the floor being a thick sort of glass looking at more sharp architecture except this had seems with many pulsating blue lines with what looked like beams of light traveling along them. He looked back up and saw stalls which were being used for picking up of recently transported gear. It didn't take him long to find the elevator that could take him down as he had found out he was on deck 81. The elevator was mostly glass except for one wall and the floor and ceiling. He walked into the elevator alone and went over to the touch pad on the wall and selected deck 72. The elevator immediately began to plunge downwards. To his left and right he could see hangers and overlook the public reception area which was a huge open room that was round in shape. The roof you could use to see out at Pax. It was a rather green planet with lakes dotting it's surface.
Just as he finished looking at the planet the elevator stopped and Shuo turned to face the door. It slid open and revealed a rather average Sovereign hanger. White with blue again immaculatly clean. There were several drop ships landed in the hanger and a few larger ships equiped with FTL drives. A Masulu man in his dress uniform approached him from the left and called his name withlist walking towards him with his hands behind his back. "Ah Shuo Yuyun! You arrived just a bit earlier then I would have thought! Anyways once your new squad mate arrives we can finally get this whole operation under way." The Masulu had a marking of 10th echelon on his sleeve. Shuo quickly dropped his bags and saluted the officer.
"Sir, I arrived as fast as the clearance would allow." Shuo said holding the salute.
The officer laughed."Well then we'll make sure to speed it up next time then! At ease. 10th echelon, Xiask." Just as Shuo dropped his salute another vessel began to pull into the hanger."Ah that should be our new arrival. The officer on board is a old buddy of mine let's go over and greet them shall we?" The officer said as he began walking over to where the ship would land. Shuo was used to this behaviour from certain officers but usually when it came to important things the straight edge officers were the ones handling him. He decided to put that thought out of his mind and go meet his new squadmate.

No don't go to sleep I'm almost dead. fRom none sleep?

Also I believe the intention is to have everyone in one place but if you have something else going on we might be able to make an exception.

"He's gone Shuo....What do you want to do?" Renti said solemnly. Shuo gave a glance back at his comrade. His face plate was totally cracked in and the table he was on was covered in blood, just like him. The round was still buried in his chest plate which they hoped would slow the bleeding. It was a risk to take the body with them but they couldn't leave him or his suit just here.....
"Set him to detonate, take this whole building down with him if you wish. LZ is 30 more floors up." Shuo said then pausing for a sec. Renti nodded taking her hands off the wound. She took a cable out of her wrist and hooked it into a slot in his. She began setting his suit to overload. Hopefully the blast killed all the human scum below them. Shuo then turned back to the 3D display he had up. They had a UAV doing thermal scans on the building for them now and it showed some humans trying to traverse rubble below them. He counted 7 there and another 12 a few floors down. He exhaled through his nose sharply and swiped the display away. He put his left hand back on his rifle and looked back to Renti, who was retracting her cable.
"We're good to go." Renti said in a rather blank tone. Shuo nodded and exited the large apartment they had entered and came up to the stairs. He was ready to be done with this place.
1 week later...
Shuo was sat on the edge of his bed ready to start his day. He had yet to receive reassignment and more than likely he would be sitting around for more than a few weeks before he was shipped off anyways. He would need to figure out where he could get a work out in as he didn't like sitting around doing nothing. He pushed himself off the edge of his bed and began straightening it out and tucking the edges in. He stepped back and looked at the neat bed and made sure it was perfect. He then turned on his heel and went to the kitchen and grabbed some fish out of the fridge which he ate quickly with his hands.
After eating Shuo went over to the couch and sat down. For a moment he simply stared off at the city. Then he heard a ring at the door. He got up and walked over to the door and then opened it. A Tempu women in dress fatigues stood at the door whom Shuo had a good few inches on. "Sixth echelon Shuo Yuyun?" She said with a air of confidence.
"Yes, you have him." Shuo said noticing that she had a mark of tenth echelon on her shoulder. He quickly saluted and added a "Mam" to the end of his sentence.
"At ease soldier." She said. Giving a quick return salute."May I come in?" Shuo nodded and moved out of the door way gesturing inside. The Tempu walked inside the apartment and Shuo closed the door behind her. "I'm here to give you your reassignment." She said looking around the room and not at Shuo.
"I figured as much. Though I'm wondering why my CO isn't here, mam." Shuo said knowing that technically he was out of line but people in his position generally got away with little of it.
"Because the mission you are being given is.... well rather important. My name is Petand and I'm going to cut to the chase here as I have a few other things to do before I'm redeployed myself. You're being assigned to a joint species team.." She said as she set a data pad down on the kitchen counter. there was something on it but he couldn't read it from where he was.
"Excuse me mam?" Shuo said with a bit of disbelief. He walked over to the kitchen and leaned on the table with both of his arms.
"When this was first brought to me I had a hard time believing it myself. But this is from 12th, your going to be heading our representation on this team. You also leave today." She said scrolling the data pad with one hand and holding it in the other.
Shuo blinked for a second and then responded. "That's quite short notice mam. Where exactly am I going to anyways?"
"Pax. You leave in 4 hours aboard the SV Furious Assault, a Heavy cruiser. Your armor and weapons are already on board, you just need to be there on time with your go bag. Understood?" She said standing up straight and lifting her pad off the table. She then began making her way to the door. Shuo got up and made it to the door just before her. He pressed the console and opened the door for her. "Oh and it's on level 421 dock 9, by the way."
Shuo gave her a salute as she left and she returned with a "See ya." Shuo was rather confused by what had just happened but he cleared that thought quickly and began packing. He hoped he had enough time to grab some of the "coffee" stuff on his way down there. He got hooked on it a few months ago and hadn't had any since he was deployed last month. One thing was for sure though, this was going to be interesting.

Welp, there's my opening post. Finally.By the way, I went out on a limb and assumed that 12th Eschelon was the highest rank in the sovereignty military. Correct me if its the other way around, cqbexpt.
You would be correct, though that's not who would be asking her. ArmSpecWar would ask for her (Army Special Warfare), not the 12th. Otherwise everything is fine.
Gonna pump out my second post.
