May 26, 1969
Today is the day that the team and I have been able to spend time together to know each other. Sadly I cannot really communicate with them. That damned filter that goes around my mouth! All my words come out muffled and I sound like a man! Ugh, I guess that is what our boss wanted anyways… Ah well… At least I have listened to everyone's stories. I've learned a lot about my teammates. In fact… To remember them fully I'll write them down here, while they are still fresh on my mind. Let's start with my two offensive comrades.
Boggs, William 'Billy': Billy Boy Boggs, a fast talking Scout for our team. He kind reminds me of a spastic dog of my mother's back in Hawaii… Anyways, He is from Liverpool New York, a small area as of now. From what he has said his mother has raised him and three older brothers alone sense he was born. He doesn't know who his father is or what he even looks like, considering his mother removed all the pictures of him from the house. The lanky nineteen year old boy made me a little sad. I had both my parents, must have been hard to only have one.
Smith, Johnny: A rather loud guy who comes in from a 'special' branch of the military. He has yet to disclose on this, I highly drought he ever will. He told us that he spent a good time fighting Nazis in World War 2… Though I drought that as well. The one thing I do believe is that he has a wife, I saw his wedding ring. He maybe crazy as hell, but I think he has a sane side.
Now onto the defensive guys, they are all such wonderful men. Nice to me, even though they do not understand a word I am saying to them. They just nod and say 'Okay' half the time or 'Your joking, good one!'
Bogdanskii, Viktor: The Heavy Weapons guy of the team. His tale of what he is doing here was rather sad, almost made ME cry, and I normally never cry! He said his father had passed away some time ago and he was here mostly to support his mother and younger siblings; one boy one girl. From what I can see though, he is a rather soft guy deep down, a real family man it seems, though I will never say this seeing as he already made a point of not wanting to show off said soft side.
Drakes, James 'Jimmy or Tex': This wild at heart, soft spoken, yet loud mouthed Engineer makes me nerves for some reason. He just kept looking at me the whole time we were all introducing ourselves to each other. I wonder if he knows… Or if he was just dozing off….Either way he kind of creeps me out. What he has told us he is from Austin Texas and proud of it. He worked closely with his father and grandfather and went to college to become and engineer. Well goody for him, he can keep his degrees and leave me alone.
McClain, Ferguson: A rather funny guy with one good eye in his head. He is light-heart and always in good spirits about everything. Don't see how he can do it though. Seems he had a hard life growing up. He never knew his real parents or had anyone to are for, even to this day. But he did inform us as all of us grow closer, he will be like a savage beast if anything were to happen. He said he would rather his feel like a family then just a team. Everyone laugh at this. I didn't. I gave me food for thought.
Lastly what we all like to call the 'Supporting' guys. They are all not that bad… I think. Though I will say everyone here are as bat-shit crazy as I am… I found that funny to begin with!
Bofeay, Francis: A gentleman from Burgundy, France. I definitely think he may know my secret… I will confront him at a later date though. His story though is simple and to the point. He is here to make money and watch our spineless backs in battle. I wanted to question how we could be spineless, but I digress.
Blokes, Joseph 'Joey': A sharp shooting Sniper. He is rather witty and great with a comeback for any situation. Especially when there is an awkward silence after someone finishes a story and no one knows who to go next. I feel rather fond of this guy. He is the same as me! Both our parents think we are deranged psychopaths. We aren't, well… He isn't. Me only half! I just like setting fire to things… Anyways! He said that he was here for the good job opportunity and the chance to meet other in this field of work.
Schmitz, Igor Dr.: He really scares me, and that is a statement in of itself. I normally don't fear anything, not even death. But this guy is just scary as hell! Appearance wise anyway, though when he speaks it with a much softer tone; a soothing bedside manner. He said he was here for the work, that freelance medicine in Germany was no panning out so well. So his wife forced him to take a job.
And that is all of them. I can't wait till we actually start fighting! The other team is so going to get it! We all are an admirable force of different strengths to beat! I laugh at them if they think they can beat us! In the back of my mind though… I fear the worst. What if we all can't work together? What will happen if we lose the first match? What if they discover me to soon? I guess I will just have to bid my time, and see what happens.
