At the docks 11:00 P.M.
"Let me get this straight, your boss wants us to protect a Weiss Schnee from anyone that has any ill intent on her life?" I asked as Brian muttered something about 'not wanting to babysit a spoiled rich kid'.
The Lady just nodded her head and then said "Yes, it is because she is the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company that she would be targeted by many individuals and organizations, like the White Fang for example."
"Yea, but how much do we get paid?" Francisco asked which I slapped him in the back of the head he responded "What? I was just asking." I shook my head at his response.
"OH yes the payment, sorry I got ahead of myself, the four of you (she pointed at Brian, Scarlet, Francisco, and Jonathan) would get about 4,000 Lien a month while the Faunas would get 1,000 Lien a month, the amount would be for your weapon mutinous, weapon maintenance, food and other-"
But she was cut off by an angry Brian "Wow wow wow wow Wait a minute, wait just a damn minute. Why would we get paid more, while the boss gets a fourth of our wage? That isn't right."
The lady started to sweat lightly and then tried to reason with Brian by stating "It's fair by the laws of all the-"
"I said it's not fair, I don't care of the laws, he works just as hard, no he works harder than us." Jonathan cut her of this time.
"Hey if they want to be like that then let them, I don't care. Besides we're only going to do this till we find a way back home." I said to Brian and Jonathan so they would calm down and the lady to be less likely to be bombarded with rants from the two.
"Wait you said you were Luis Rodriguez, the 1st sergeant from Bravo Company when you were a sophomore right?" Scarlet asked surprising me with that question.
To know something like that, it must have meant that she was in our schools JROTC. "Yes, but how do you know that unless…" I stated.
"Yea, I'm in the JROTC program at school." She finished "The BC is now is Mayra and The CSM is Jose though you would have been CSM but you went missing."[BC stands for Battalion commander, CSM stands for Command Sergeant Major]
"Really?! They would have given me the highest Sergeant rank? No, that should be Brian's job he deserves it more than me." I said with a smile as I thought of how highly the sergeants placed me.
"Nope they said you would be the best for it," Scarlet told me while popping the p in nope.
The SDC employee seemed very puzzled by our conversation. "Um… Excuse me but what are you talking about? Are y'all military or something?" The lady asked as to try and get an understanding on our conversation.
"Luis here, our boss, would have been the head sergeant of 16th Battalion which has over 120 cadets. Its responsibilities are Principal advisor to the commander on the state of morale, discipline, and training of Cadets within the battalion, Advises the Battalion Commander on planning, coordinating and supervising activities of the battalion, Works as a catalyst in communication to and from Cadets to the Cadet battalion chain of command and staff, Accounts for personnel during all Battalion level activities and events, Conducts Battalion formations; responsible for training and execution of drill and ceremonies at all levels, Oversees the training and performance of the Color Guard, Responsible for the appearance of Cadets, equipment and facilities, serves as a link between all Cadets and the Senior Military Instructor, Performs all other duties as assigned by the battalion commander and some other things to." Brian said to the lady which apparently saw me in new light.
"So he's an experienced leader?" She asked.
"We all are, well except for Scarlet I guess." I stated
"Wait, what's the catch if we do agree to the job?" Francisco asked.
"Well you will have to join Beacon Academy, School for hunters and huntresses in training, which she is currently enrolled in." she said.
"Great, school and here I thought I wouldn't go to a school again" I said sarcastically. "Fine we're in for now." I said to answer her important question.
"But we would like some of your company's good mechanics and scientists." Brian said.
"Might I ask why you need mechanics and scientists?" she asked raising an eye brow.
"We have schismatic and blue prints for some better weapons for us, as well as vehicles." Brian said.
I looked at him "When were you going to tell mw this?" I asked him.
When we left the armory you said to take anything useful so I took most of the schematics that were lying around, plus the scientists may help us find a way back home, to Earth." Brian said.
"Good idea. Now let's go to a hotel to sleep and we'll try to get into Beacon tomorrow. Agreed?" I asked them to which they simply just nodded their heads yes. I paced my helmet back on, forgetting why I took it off in the first place, along with Jonathan, Francisco, and Brian.
"And you." We heard coming from behind us we turned and saw the heiress pointing at us "Who are you?" She asked with an intrigued and annoyed look on her face.
I depolarized my visor and looked at her. "We are Outcasts." Francisco said beating me to respond to her. I then repolarized my visor and punched Francisco on his shoulder as the five of us walked back into the nightlife of the city, with our heads held high and all except scarlet carrying duffle bags.
