Chapter 1: tour of duty

"sergeant don't sass your commanding officer!" I snapped. Man why couldn't this guy ever see my rank was LARGER than his…? He just smirked, flicking his deep blue hair back.

"when you see one tell me." He said, walking off. The nerve!

"Ma'am! General Sonic is here to see you in your office!" I saluted back to the corporal and nodded, walking back to my office. Man, that Major Flam! He wants to get off this base so bad he sucks up to the General. He won't get any discharge though.

"General." I said, he nodded, looking slightly annoyed at Flam. "Major! Get out that's an order." I hissed. He rolled his eyes and saluted me and the general weakly, leaving.

"Colonel Awayuki. We have a situation." Sonic said as Flam left. Oh great that's the last thing I need.

"yes sir? Oh please have a seat. Would you like a drink?" I asked. He sat down and nodded.

"water would be nice-"

"Ma'am I thought you'd want water." A corporal said, coming into the room with the water. Okay now this guy scared me more every time.

"thank you Flood. Get me today's duty roster-"

"here's today's duty roster ma'am." The corporal said, pulling it out from under the drink tray and laying it down in front of me.

"thank you corporal, you may-" he was out of the room before I finished.

"well now…" Sonic said, taking a drink and then laying papers on my desk.

"what is the situation sir?" I asked, skimming through the files.

"there is an 80 chance of an attack in the next week. We're trying our best to prevent it but the enemy's hideout has yet to be found." He said, taking another drink and pointing to the facts on the paper. This wasn't too bad.

"alright sir. Should I ready the area?" I asked. He shook his head.

"no I wouldn't recommend it. Just brief the troops on what they should expect." He said. I nodded.

"is that all General?" I asked. I didn't want to push him out but I had work to do.

"yes I believe so. If I have anything else I will contact you immediately." He said, putting his beret back on and saluting me. I saluted back as a Lt. came in to take him back to his jeep.

"Corporal!-"

"ma'am I have told the troops to gather in the main court." Flood answered before I could make the command. He got the duty roster and the new file off my desk and filed them.

"Corporal why do you do what I'm going to say before I say it?" I asked, annoyed. He shrugged, leaving. Man the outfit I'm running here…I don't get any of them. "Shin, come with me." I said, standing up, Shin following me. He was so cute! Only 3 or 4.
