Leo stepped out of the warthog, grabbing his gear and walking towards the base. Firebase- Hotel was the field command center for Zulu team, and multiple companies of Special Forces ODST's. Needless to say, the base was fairly large. Warthogs, Pelicans, and Falcons sat in their positions, ready for use when needed.

As Leo stepped inside the barracks, he was greeted by a woman who sat on a bunk opposite the door, sharpening a knife. She looked up as he entered, but didn't say a word. Leo made his way over to an empty bunk and set his gear down before hearing the woman speak.

"So. You're Kyle's replacement, eh?" She said, causing Leo to turn and look at her. It felt like an awkward question, but he answered promptly. "Yes, I am. May I ask your name?" He replied, still looking at the woman whose gaze had shifted back to the knife she was sharpening. It took her a moment to answer, as she finished up with the knife and turned, placing it in its sheathe before standing.

"CPO Carla-B190. No more questions. I'm sure you read the dossiers." She replied, walking out of the door, leaving Leo standing in the middle of the empty room. He sighed, walking over to his bunk and taking his things out before placing them in their correct places.

"Welcome to Zulu team, Leo." Master Chief Petty Officer Aaron- A121 said as he stood in the briefing room, waiting for the team who would be showing up in a few minutes, but he had called Leo early. "I'm your commanding officer." The man stood in full black armor, his hands behind his back. He looked like a leader, and that he was. He had led Zulu through over 100 missions, no casualties. This guy was one of the best.

"Thank you, sir" Leo said, nodding his head. His armor felt good to be back inside, since he had been away from it on the trip here, it being on a cargo pelican. Behind him, the rest of the team entered the briefing room, all clad in their armor.

"Well, let's get this show on the road." Aaron said. "Leo, this is your team. Carla, Jacob, Michael, and Mark." Each member throwing up a gesture as their name was called out. Leo returned with a nod, and all the members turned to the screen where Aaron would be briefing them of their next mission.

"Alright…."
