OK......You've seen AL's characters.Here are my modifications.
Lt. Andre "Viper" Cruz:He is now the hotshot, often brash pilot of the Able
squad.he earned his nickname by his wicked gaze that often scares the likes
of Typhonus to the bone.A loner, his off-the ball methods often put him at
odds with Nara,whom he has a secret crush on. Age 25,broad build,never seen
without his earrings.
Lt.Craig Pressman:A very manupilative person,Pressman is the most
mysterious pilot on the New Resolute.His quarters are seldom entered,so
what does he do.....?
Lt.Michelle Jones: Fresh out of Exo-fleet Academy, she is an energetic
person and is always willing to fight the good fight. Quick to point out
mistakes and very tempremental.
"ATTEN-HUT! FACE LEFT! FORWARD, MARCH!"
The commandant yelled at his cadets like they were stone deaf. They then
marched uniformly,all in a rectangular row,each one making that
rumpa-rumpa-klump sound army boots always made.
Former Admiral Winfield returned the salute the cadets gave him, and let
out a sigh. He glanced to look at J.T, who was standing next to him. This
was the man that he put all his faith in when the odds were seemingly
unbeatable.This was a war hero. His bravery was so powerful, that even
the Resolute's brig couldn't hold him.This was J.T Marsh.
"They don't make them like they used to."he said.
"They're not exactly wimps,sir," Marsh joked.
"I meant the hor'dourves! That slop they served when I was a cadet seems
like a beef steak now,"Winfield replied, laughing and then coughing.
Not far away,in the grandstand, two Academy graduates were busy
fingering their buttons and medals. One was the classic female cadet;red
hair, green eyes, lovely smile, excited ,putting the final touches on her
uniform with a little brush. The other one was her exact opposite;
dark,piercing eyes,black hair, well-built, silent most of the time.
The crowd's attention was then diverted to the stand as the MC took the
stand.One by one, after a brief speech from Winfield, the graduates'
names were announced, much to the joy and cheers of parents and siblings.
"And finally.please give a big hand to the top of the class!" the
speakers blared.
Michelle Jones and Craig Pressman both took the stand, both waving the
Individual Cadet Acheivement Award medals in the air, to be greeted by
rapturous applause from the crowd.Neither one had ever been so celebrated
in their lives, and soon, relatives, comrades and veterans were queueing
up for pictures with them.
In contrast to Jones, who practically snuggled everything she touched, he
wavered through the crowd, until no one noticed he was gone. He put his
medals in his pockets and walked towards the Old Oaker, the tree which
gave the cadets inspiration .He remembered Commandant Barker telling them
that the oak stood for versatility and wisdom, and that nothing short of
a heavy artillery E-frame could take it down in one go. He sighed,
putting one hand on the trunk.
Just then, a voice came down calling from the horizon.
"Craig!Craig!" the voice rang.
"What are you doing here,Jones?Thought you might wanna get out of here
A.S.A.P ."
"Of all the guys in the Academy ,you were the one that made me what I
was."
"Excuse me?"
"You'd lift me up when I fall, you took the blame when something
happened, you even spruced up my E-frame a notch or two. I just want to
thank you,for all the good you've done,"she said,extending a hand.
"Just doing my duty as a friend," he replied,shaking her hand.
"I hope we get assigned together.Won't it be fun? I mean, duty first, but
hey, who's looking?"
TWO DAYS LATER.
Today wasn't Nara Burns' day. First, the hot water in her quarters
suddenly cut,leaving her cold,naked,and shivering in the shower. Then,
when she tied her hair,the rubbery scrungie bounced all around the
room.This, followed by a lift breakdown,a shuttlers' strike, light
failure in the mess hall, ferry strike and last but not least, having
'Viper' in her office again,for the umpteenth time.
He was the classic troublemaker.Brash, fast talking, a convincing smile,
a reckless streak in his eyes. At the same time, he was an excellent
pilot and dependable comrade.
"How many times do I have to tell you Cruz,this is not a circus!"
"Sorry,ma'am. It won't happen again.I knew it was the red wire." He
chuckled, remembering the wire mix-up in the mess hall earlier that led
to pilots and techs eating in the dark. He was supposed to connect a red
wire with a green one, but read the instructions wrong,and connected the
green wire to the red socket, leading to a massive power outage in one
place, and a massive power surge in the outhouse blocks.
"Not funny,Cruz I am up to here with you-.."
She was interrupted by Rita Torres' face on the video comm-link.
"Sorry to interrupt, you Captain, but the new meat's here," she stated,
with a grin on her face.
"On my way, Torres ," She glared at him one more time, and made her way
out of the office.
