Chapter 1 Survival Tip #1
February 16, 2004
LOCATION: Manhattan, New York
Break Room of S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ Lvl: 2
Today was Agent Jade 'Scarlet' Nguyen's first day on the job as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Tactical Field Agent. It was only 0700 hrs or 7 a.m. and she's been up already for the past two hours. She'd been running drills with her team, and as a rookie she had to do all the hard stuff. She was only eighteen, but she wasn't complaining much. It was what she wanted after all. She'd needed coffee and needed in now. Jade blurry eyed and sleep deprived ambled over to the coffee machine at the far end of the break room.
She got down one of the many S.H.I.E.L.D. Eagle emblem emblazoned mugs and generously poured herself a cup. She took the first sip of the life bringing elixir that was coffee and sighed deeply. What rookie Agent Nguyen had failed to see as she left the room was that she'd emptied the pot. The coffee pot was now empty.
Rookie Agent Nguyen left the break room coffee in had blissfully unaware of what was to befall her later in the day.
Several Hours Later
Jade was just returning from yet another grueling training exercise, with her supervising officer and the rest of her tactical team. They'd all skipped lunch so her she was in the break room again. Whoever said coffee couldn't substitute food.
When Jade made her way back into the self proclaimed rookie break room for the second time that day, she found no coffee in the pot. But she did find a note. That was me wasn't it. Oh shit.
Please remember to fill up coffee pot after you use the last batch. I'm sorry about this Agent Nguyen ;)
Agent P. Coulson
Sorry about what? What are you talking about.
Before Jade could realized what was happening she was suddenly assaulted and pelted with rubber nerf balls from the entrance of the break room. By her fellow rookies no less. Being pelted by those damn rubber balls hurt like a bitch.
She'd be feeling it for a week for sure. "Hold your fire Agents." Called out a voice. It was Philip J. Coulson in his immaculate as ever black Armani suit. "I think Agent Nguyen here as learned her lesson."
"So that...was you I'm guessing who came in after me sir?"
"It was Agent. Please do remember to fill the pot after yourself."
"Of course sir. I will for sure."
"Good to hear it Agent. Come along rookies time for your real weapons practice with Agent Barton." Phil called to the gaggle of rookies still holding their nerf guns protectively. They all trailed after the senior Agent like they were his little ducklings.
"I'm never not refilling that damn pot again. Owww oh I won't be able to sit for a week now." Jade groaned. Welcome to SHIELD, Jade. She thought to herself. Where your fellow employees pelt you with nerf gun bullets, if you forget to refill the coffee maker.
