Episode 2- The Welcome Mat
After what seemed like an eternity the elevator made a sudden stop. Sam and the driver stepped out of the car and into what seemed like an underground town.
"Bigger than you spected ey boy." The driver asked.
Sam gave a quick nodded and thanked the driver for the ride. The driver smiled and walked backed to the car and drove off into the town. After a little while of looking around, Sam grabbed his bag and began walking to the center of the base where the brain and HQ of the base was. As he got closer to the HQ he noticed that there were many soldiers walking around and going about their daily routines, some of which he saluted and gave a quick hello.
When he reaches the HQ he saw a second larger complex next to it that stretched all the way to the top of the dome. " That must be the hangar." He thought to himself.
He then entered the HQ and in the main lobby there were some pictures framed on the wall of many sorts, a couple of chairs against the wall, and a small desk with a lady hard at work on a computer. He walked up to the desk and laid his bags on the floor. "Hello my name is Samuel Miller and I have just been assigned to this base." Sam stated proudly.
Not even looking up from her work the receptionist replied, "Welcome to the Burrow. The Commander's office is up the stairs and it's the door to your left."
"Thank you ma'am." Sam said politely. Following the directions the receptionist gave him he made way to the Commanders office. While heading there he made a quick mental note that inside and outside the HQ was little decoration and there were still some boxes left unpacked. "This place is sort of new but they should of finished unpacking by now." When he reached a door with the markings Commander James Zieg on it he lightly knocked.
"One second!" he heard behind the door along with the sound of shuffling papers, "Alright you can come in now!"
Sam opened the door that revealed a small office that was covered from wall to wall with pictures and maps and many other decorations. "This is the most decorated room I've seen yet." In the middle there was a desk with a man who looked to be in his early 50s with broad shoulders, mated grayish black hair, brown eyes, and a commander's outfit with many badges, medals and the name patch James Zieg on the right side.
"I haven't seen you before in the Burrow." The commander stated.
Sam gave a sharp salute and shouted, "Sir, I am Private Samuel Miller reporting in from the Academy."
James said, "Have a seat and welcome to the Burrow private. Let me check you off on the computer." The commander began to punch away at the computer keys until he came across one screen that he showed to Sam. On the screen there was a picture of Sam and some brief information, which included:
Name: Samuel Miller
Rank: Private Specialization: Precision Shooting
The commander smiled and said, "Precision shooting ey, that's just what we need."
"That's what they told me when they posted me here sir."
"Alright then, from here on out you shall be under my command. I'm kind of busy so let me get straight to all the facts. Your bunkroom is number 408, there you will find your new uniform, a map of the Burrow and HQ, and some bathing supplies. I want you to get some rest and in the morning head to the mess hall for breakfast. You need to be in the Briefing Room 989 by 0700. There you will meet your new team and receive information on your first mission. You are dismissed and good luck."
"Sir Yes Sir. Thank you sir!" Sam and James exchanged salutes and then Sam left the office. From there he made his way to the Bunker. Once he was in the Bunker, Sam checked the map to see where room 408 was. After a brief walk he reached 408. He opened the door into his new home. He noticed his new uniform hanging on his closet door. After a couple of minutes of rearranging his room and unpacking all of his stuff he jumped into his pajamas and rolled into bed.
Sam's anticipation of his first mission kept him up for an hour or so. "I better not screw up on my first mission." Finally, Samuel Miller was asleep. Tomorrow he will begin a new life.
And so begins the rest of the story has.
