Sharp Shooter

Task Force Stalker

Vortex pulled the large door of the control room open and walked out. The rest of us followed suit. We followed her down the hall and had just exited the sim building when John, who had changed into a white Tuxedo, walked up.

"Vortex", he said, "Ren needs to come with me for a minute."

"No can do boss man", Vortex said, "were on our way to your brother's office for mission briefing.":

"This came from Jace Major", John said.

Vortex sighed, "go, if you miss briefing I'll fill you in on the way."

I nodded to her and followed John away from the sim building as Vortex and the others walked to the main Area 51 building.

"What's this about John?", I asked.

"Your team Renny", John said, "Jace is waiting at the Fireblood Arsenal for you."

"What's going on?", I asked, "exactly?"

"Well", John said, "it's a team commander's responsibility to keep their team together and organized. Jace is there to help you finalize everything and once he has what he need's for all the paper work he'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay", I said as we walked to the armory. I had seen it a couple of times before. It was a huge, brown metal building with a large, white, "H32" on the left door. John pulled it open and walked inside and I slipped in behind him. We walked down a long hallway past maybe thirty or forty chain link gates that led to the armory cells of each individual team that was on A51. At the end of the hangar, there were two gates that looked like they had just gone up, and I could see Val's tail, covered in a white sleeve, sticking out of the door way. Jace was leaning back against the wall. He was wearing the same thing as John, but he was wearing sunglasses.

"You wanted to see me sir?", I asked.

"Yes I did Ren", Jace said, "you get your own team, and like all the other dragons who finish in the top spots, you also get to name it. Think long and hard, because you can't change it later if you don't like it."

I stood there for maybe four seconds before I made up my mind.

"Task Force Stalker", I said.

Jace smiled, "a name that could almost give Shadow Walkers a run for it's money, almost."

I laughed, "Vortex would have my head if I picked a name that sounded cooler than her's, I just got most of my body rebuilt so I'd like to hang on to what I've got left that I was born with."

Jace laughed, "understandable Private, get geared up and then get to my office, I'm not gonna keep Vortex waiting, she scares me."

"Weak", John laughed.

Jace shook his head, "you ever seen a 15 foot tall dragon outline moving around at night?"

"Only a few times", John remarked as he and Jace started down the hallway.

"Okay smart ass!", Jace said as they moved out of the building.

I smiled at myself and entered the cell. I found the Twins, Sorra and Val just finishing getting equipped. They were all dressed in white camouflage uniforms and black combat vests. Sorra was carrying an M4A1 assault rifle with a Trijjicon ACOG sight and an M203 40mm grenade launcher. It also had a Magpul CTR stock, MOE grip and a PMAG. She carried a Glock 21 as her secondary. She had that huge knife in a seath on her back and the helmet she was wearing was jet black and she had on red sunglasses. Ivan and Navi carried the same guns, a 20 caliber Auto Rifle and an M240 Bravo as a back up. Val had dual .50 machine guns strapped to his back and a minigun as a secondary. Their uniforms matched Sorra's as well.
