"...are now to function under Lieutenant Gunter in command of militia squad seven"
And that's how it all began, if only I knew then the world I would walk into with this squad...I would've taken more Reginaide...
"Yes Ma'am!"
"You are to report to Gunter post-haste, dismissed"
I left the office of our commander with a sigh, medics were assigned a few hours after the squads and already the rumors of squad 7 had reached her ears, a commanding officer with a nature fetish, a lancer that couldn't shut up about Vegetables, and don't even get me started on the incidents the others caused.
"Come in"
In my daze I hadn't noticed my arrival at the door of the my newly appointed commanding officer, stepping in quietly I walked into a calm, normal room...I guess the rumors of him having various insect hives in here are totally false...
"Sir. I am the newly appointed medic assigned to your squad, I was reported to speak to you immediately" I said standing at attention.
The man chuckled quietly as he waved his hand "Please, I'm not used to all this formal talk, just call me Welkin..." he quickly opened a file on his desk, checking it's contents he smiled and looked to me again "You have an important job ahead of you but from what I see here there is no doubt that I can entrust you with the lives of my squad"
I blushed a little at the compliment "Thank you, I hope that the faith you place in me is well placed."
"Hey Welkin have you seen Lar....oh sorry"
A woman peeked in from the door, her hair held in a large red bandanna two ponytails sticking out from the back
"Oh Alicia, this is our new squad medic" he said to the woman gesturing to me, I respond quickly.
"Hello there, nice to meet you"
Alicia smiled and walked over, she held out her hand with a friendly smile.
"Alicia Melchiott" she said with a warm smile "I'm squad sevens NCO"
I took the hand, returning the smile quietly.
"Nice to meet you, I'm..."

"MEDIC"
I hear the call, I spring into action.
Running into the fray of crossfire and explosions, my mind but couldn't help wondering what happen to each person that is hit by these awful things of human design, I felt a bullet whiz past my ear and ducked lower.
Soon I reached the sound of the voice, Largo looked up to me "damn sniper clipped his leg" was the only thing he said.
Alex sat against a wall, hissing as he coddled the injured leg, I slid up next to him and took his hands off gently, checking the wound.
"doesn't look like it's hit an Artery, but it'd be best if we got you back to get the fragment out" I said applying some Reginaide to the wound to ease the pain.
Alex looked up to Largo, the mans face displayed a weak smile.
"Hey you better make sure we get even with those guys! Don't you dare lose without me!"
Largo just responded with a thumbs up and one of his big grins before he rushed off to continue the fight.
I quickly looked him over "can you walk?"
He nodded, I let him drape an arm over my shoulder and helped him up, we both began to move towards the makeshift medical center I had set up on this side of the river bank, Welkin and his crazy plans really are something...
"Hey...Doc"
I looked across to Alex, the blond gave me a grin.
"Thanks..."
I smiled quietly before turning my head to carry on.
"Don't thank me yet, we have a long way to go..."
Never did I believe how true that statement was...
Well that's the first chapter of the Medical Memoirs!
As you see I have kept the name of the medic out of the story, that is because I want that to be left to your imagination.
Unlike most of the characters the medic gets no back-story, no epilogue, nothing... and for her role as squad 7's guardian angel It's something I believed she deserved...
Please R&R!
