Tank Police Division 195

Chapter Two: Orientation

After Chief Une's little tirade, the captain decided to show them around the building. The last stop on the tour was the garage. There was a large number of tank police personnel milling about, inspecting tanks, gossiping, and playing cards. A man with long, blonde hair stopped loading shells into his tank when he spotted the captain and the new recruits; he walked over to greet them.

"Boys, this is Sergeant Peacecraft." Captain Scot said and introduced Milliardo to each of the new officers. The sergeant wasn't as surprised as his captain at the ages of the new recruits; after all, he was 18 when he was assigned here from the academy. "I'll leave them to you."

"Where will you be, captain?" Milliardo asked.

"My office." He grimaced. "Une's on the warpath so I'm going to try and appease her by doing paperwork."

"Good luck, sir." The younger man smirked as his C.O. slumped out of the room. "Well, since you are under my supervision I guess I'd better show you the tanks." The four of the five newcomers' eyes lit up simultaneously at the thought of weapons of mass destruction, the fifth was just excited to finally see the real thing.

"Wow…" Quatre gasped. "An old Tank Special. (1)"

"And in perfect working condition, too!" Duo added, after doing a quick mental assessment. "Whose is it?"

"The captain's." Milliardo said. "But it's built to be operated by three people at most. Lieutenant Noin and I are assigned with the captain to this tank"

"Wouldn't you rather be in something more up to date?" Trowa asked.

"Sometimes… but there's just something about this old thing that the newer tanks don't have." The sergeant sighed. "Besides, someone has to keep the captain from getting into too much trouble."

"He can't be as bad as Captain Mair." Duo said. Milliardo blinked in confusion before remembering that Duo had been transferred from another Tank Police unit.

"That name sounds familiar. Which precinct is he in?"

"A hundred and thirteenth."

"The Hellraisers!?" Milliardo gasped, worriedly. //Hoo boy, the mayor's gonna be getting a lot more damage claims from now on. So, he's the one from the 113th….and given his age he could only be one person…//

"Why is everyone so shocked whenever they hear that?" Heero asked, annoyed that he was out of the loop on this one.

"You don't have any police connections," Wufei stated. "so you wouldn't know that the 113th is the most destructive precinct in the entire country. They don't call them the Hellraisers for nothing…" Duo interrupted him.

"Okay, enough about that. I want to see my new tank!"

"You won't be getting a tank assignment just yet." Milliardo said. "You'll be doing an evaluation to see what type of tank you're best suited for."

"Aww man, you don't need to do that with me. Just look it up in my file."

"Sorry, standard prosecure."

"Damn…"

"Think of it this way. You have a chance to show us what the Hellraiser's Demon can do."

"Oh so you figured it out." Duo grinned. "Well since you put it that way, let's get to it!"

The simulaor room was on the sixth floor, a little way down the hall from the shooting gallery. There were nine simulators; three for each type of tank: the standard  police tank (2), the Spider tank (3), and finally the Bonaparte unit (4). "So, who wants to go first?" Milliardo asked. "The captain left instructions to test you individually in the Bonaparte and Spider simulators before seeing how you work as a group."

Wufei opted to go first and started out with the Bonaparte. The Bonaparte wasn't as fast as the Spider tank but it was highly maneuverable and a bit faster than standard police tank. After him were Trowa, Quatre, Duo, and then Heero. They all then got ready to try working together in groups of three with the standard tank simulation. When Trowa, Duo, and Wufei (the last group) got out of the simulator, Milliardo congratulated them all.

"Good job, you guys." He got a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "Now let's see how you do with the real thing." Wufei, Trowa, and Heero looked at each other, Duo grinned like a maniac, and Quatre looked worried.

"Isn't letting rookies operate tanks without supervision or permission from the chief against regulations?" he asked. Milliardo looked amused.

"Technically, Winner, you are the only real rookie here, and I will be supervising." The sergeant looked thoughtful. "As for the chief's permission, I will assume that my commanding officer procured that since he's the one who told me to take you out after the simulation." Now, Trowa, Heero, Duo, and Wufei all had manic grins and Quatre looked even more worried. Smart boy….

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???!! I NEVER AUTHORIZED THAT!!!" Une screamed. Quatre winced while the other new officers, Captain Scot, and Sergeant Milliardo calmly stood at full attention as their chief launched into her tirade. "IF IT WASN'T AGAINST THE LAW I'D KILL YOU!!(5)"

An hour prior to this lovely vociferation, the sergeant and the new recruits had taken two standard police tanks (Milliardo, Quatre, and Trowa in one, Duo, Wufei, and Heero n the other) and gone out into the city to get a feel of tank police duty. However, fifteen minutes and twenty-eight seconds after they had left (according to Heero, anyway), they got a call from the regular police about a gang of known terrorists having been spotted two miles from their location.

"It was our duty to respond." Milliardo said, placidly. "And to my knowledge I had full permission to take the rookies out in those tanks." Une's eyes narrowed (6), and she growled.

"That's bullshit and you and I both know it." The chief then sighed heavily and slumped back into her chair. "Unfortunately, I can't prove that you did this knowing you had no authorization so you're off the hook… for now. Same goes to the rookies." Une suddenly glared at Captain Scot. "But you! You I can do something with. Child Welfare department, one week, and no arguments. Now get out of my office!!"

As they walked to the cafeteria, Duo let out an annoyed sigh. "What's her deal, we caught the bad guys, didn't we?"

"We destroyed three city blocks, Duo!" Quatre exclaimed.

"That's nothing compared to the damage those thugs could have done." Wufei said. "We caught them with enough explosives to take out half the city." Milliardo nodded.

"The chief knows that. It's just that the mayor doesn't care, or understand that there's going to be collateral damage when dealing with the type of criminals we have to. Especially when half of them are driving some very well-armored vehicles with really nasty firepower to boot."

Captain Scot wasn't listening to any of this. //Child Welfare…// he thought. //I'm no good with kids… How can the chief be so cruel… A week away from my officers…. A week away from my tank…// At that thought, his eyes widened.

"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

1) There was a Tank Special in the Dominion Tank Police, so I'm putting one in this fic. If I'm feeling generous, this one won't end up as spare parts.

2) Think of your usual military tank with huge wheels instead of treads.

3) Ummm…. In Dominion Crusher Police there were these new model of tanks that looked like spiders with four legs. I never found out what they were actually called so I just call them Spider Tanks, they are highly maneuverable, very fast, and seat one person. As far as I know, it's very difficult to hit them directly, you'd have to distract the pilot somehow in order to get in a good hit.

4) Bonaparte (in the original Tank Police) is a miniature tank that the main character (a female tank police officer called Leona Ozaki) has a very… umm… disturbing fixation with. That tank is her baby and she (along with Al Cu Ad Salte and Chaplain) created the SUV sized tank using the parts from Chief Britain's Tank Special (which she and Al destroyed by accident) .

5) This is going to be a recurring threat until I can think of something else.
