Welcome to Rats Nest

It was a quiet day, I was in my room playing videogames when a Blue soldier ran into my room.

"Hey Sarge!" the private shouted at me.

"Yeah, Jones," I answered, "What's the matter?"

"Lt. Miller needs you at the front of the base ASAP!" I sighed, I got up and made my way out of my room. "Oh, and bring Caboose."

It's been….different since Tex died, different yet the same at the same time. We went back to the exact same cycle, everyone moved, Church actually had an excuse to be cynical and pissed so we that's why we didn't bothered him about it….much. Even after we had received our transfers one month later, we still are doing the same thing, now just in different bases. Along with new bases we also got new armor, I personally got a full E.O.D. set, I think it was based on my M.O.S., Caboose got a standard suit except with Mk. 5 helmet, I guess he wanted to feel nostalgic about the old days. Caboose and I got sent to Rats Nest on the word that the team there needed a new engineer and XO. Caboose was excited at the prospect of going to a new home, I wasn't so happy as the rest of the team wouldn't be joining us. Church, Tucker and Fergo were all sent to somewhere separate from us and Sister was left behind at Blood Gulch. I was lucky to have gotten Grif and Simmons as the new members of Red Team, and a blessing from God to have gotten Jacklyn on their team as well, at least I have some familiar faces on the other team.

When we got to our new base things were bad, like the vehicles were all in disrepair, the base was fine, except for the fact the systems and utilities were all poorly maintained….mainly the power. The first month I was there I spent getting settled and I noticed that issue immediately, I swear after 4 weeks my sanity bells were ringing, I asked the Lt. about and he said that generators were in bad shape since their last engineer died. Since the Lt. knew I was an engineer he asked me if I could fix it, I said no problem. I managed to get the problem fixed by the next day, I swear the look on the other guys faces when I managed to get the base running properly again. I then asked if there was anything else I could do and they all immediately pointed to the vehicle depot, it was a mess, all the vehicles had at least some form of damage, nothing I couldn't handle, but what baffles me is how no one else in the bse seemed to know any basic car maintenance skills, either that or they are too lazy.

Over the next several months I ended getting getting promoted, one part was because of brining the base back to 100% and then some and then drilling the maintenance routines and procedures into the rest of the team's heads so that the base didn't have to be completely reliant on me. Another part because I managed to bring their entire vehicles depot back to combat ready, and the two other parts were because I was able to keep control of Caboose. As after just two days and Caboose was already causing problems, he was accidentally shooting people, and breaking things. I'm kidding, that's what would have happened if I didn't supervise him. I did have some close calls in the beginning, but I am pretty sure the rest of the team are aware of Cabooses' destructive capability and they were amazed at how I was able to 'control it'.

I suddenly stop at a door with a sign that says Caboose's Room in crayon with other doodles around it. I open the door and I find Caboose drawing and coloring with crayons on the floor. Around him are other doodles, more crayons and toys. Yeah I spoiled the kid to say the least, I figured I should reward him for being such a helpful assistant over the past year.

"Caboose," I call. Caboose looks up from his drawing.

When he notices me he smiles and happily greets, "Hi Lockett!" Man, Caboose's cheery personality always finds a way to put a smile on my face.

"Hey kid, let's go, Miller needs us." Caboose then gets up and follows me down the halls.

"What does Principle Miller need? Are we in trouble?" Caboose nervously asks.

I chuckle at Cabooses anxious state, "I'm sure it's nothing like that kid. Let's just hear what he was to say."

"Oh, okay!" Caboose chirps. The front gate then opens to reveal Lt. Miller talking with another soldier. It wasn't like another soldier, no his armor was grey with gold shoulder pieces and a Mk. 6 helmet.

I let out a sigh, "Shit, it's one of them," I grumbled.

"Oh….that's not good," Caboose nervously replied. He n=knew exactly what I was talking about, that's how bad it is.

"I can't wait to hear this," I grumble.

"Good morning Sergeant Major! Private Caboose." Lt. Miller greeted a little too happy for my taste.

Miller then turns back to the 'soldier', "This here is my second in command Sergeant Major Lockett and his orderly Private Caboose." Miller then turns to us and says, "You two, this here is representative form command, his name is….Agent Washington."

Author's Note: There, that's the teaser for Red vs. Blue Reconstruction. I know it's a bit short and not what you guys wanted, but don't worry, you'll get the full chapter soon. I just felt that 18 months is a long time lapse between seasons, I thought I could give a brief summary of what happened in between before I start the next chapter. I'll be seeing you guys soon.
