The Ghosts of Bolivia (A Ghost Recon and SU crossover)

4. Knowing one another

After rescuing some gems from an SB convoy, the Ghosts are now arriving back at the hideout and they're getting off the chopper. Rory gets out first before his squadmates and they help the gems get off. The green gem, who's the leader gets out and looks around the area.

??? (Green): "What is this area?"

Rory: "This, is our base of operations...well, a temporary one because we are not going to be in Bolivia for long. I mean, there's a reason we're in this country."

??? (Green): "Interesting."

Rory: "Alright guys. Time for a break, sit back, relax eat up, drink up you name it. Girls- I mean, gems. You're free to stay here. This area is pretty much safer than what's out there in this place."

Rory puts his gun away and he sits down on a rock and the Ghosts look for spots so they can relax. The gems also try and look for areas to relax on and one of the gems, which is Proustite, looks at the chopper and takes notes on her pad.

Proustite: "Hm...impressive human vehicle."

David looks at her and he watches what she's doing. He then grabs an MRE from his bag and he opens it up, catching her attention. Proustite walks over to him and she sits next to him and David looks at her, confused.

David: "Um...what are you doing?"

Proustite: "What are you doing, human? What is that in your hand?"

David: "Huh? O-oh. This is just an MRE, it contains food."

Proustite: "Food? What is...food?"

David: "Well it's what you ingest to become stronger and to survive- wait a minute. Do you not drink or eat?"

Proustite: "Well as a gem, all we do is work on for thousands and millions of years...we're pretty much what you humans would say...immortal? That is unless we are shattered."

David: "Oh...w-wow."

Proustite: "I hope you don't mind me asking you human but what is your name?"

David: "It's David. David Pentatonix."

Proustite: "David Pentatonix? Such a nice name for a human. I'm Proustite, it's such a pleasure to meet you, David."

David: "And it's also a pleasure to meet you too, Proustite."

Proustite: "Is it ok if I ask what your skills are?"

David: "Gladly. I'm an expert on CQC, close-quarter combat. I'm even a trained marksman and sniper myself. I can help repair damaged vehicles and as you saw when we came to the rescue, I'm indeed an excellent pilot."

Proustite: "Very, very interesting. I'll take notes."

She summons her hologram and proceeds to type down what she heard. David looks at it and she finally finishes up.

Proustite: "So, what got you to um...join the Ghosts?"

David: "Well let's start from the very beginning first. When I was about er...what was it? 5, I was just 5 years old and I wanted to be like my father who was in the army. He died in combat and so I wanted to carry on his honour and join the military. I was then greeted by a woman just 5 months ago and she asked if I wanted to join the Ghosts, to which I said yes."

Proustite: "Such an interesting story! I'll keep typing."

As she types down her notes, Rory is talking with Dioptase and they're sitting down at a makeshift table made of boxes and a wooden slab.

Rory: "So, by the looks of things you must be their leader, yes?"

Dioptase: "Yes, human that is correct."

Rory: "Hm...so about your race, why do you call yourselves gems?"

Dioptase: "Allow me to explain. Our gemstones here project our body. You see, our bodies are made of physical light."

Rory: "So, you're saying that the gemstone on you, is you?"

Dioptase: "In a way, yes."

Rory: "Huh...I never thought I'd be speaking with an alien."

Meanwhile, Nick is reading a magazine and he even peaks at some of the pictures there. Little does he know, a blue gem is looking at what he's doing. She then recalls tot he time she studied about humans and what they like. She looks at Nick and she finds him rather...attractive. She then gets an idea. She smirks cheekily and she walks and sits right next to Nick who looks at her.

Nick: "Um...can I help you?"

Kyanite: "Hehehe, well aren't you such a strong, strong human. You're such an attractive one too. You are looking just fine for being a simple soldier~"

Nick's cheeks then begin to turn dark pink and he gulps.

Nick: "I-I uhm...uh."

Kyanite: "Hehehe, you're so cute, why don't we talk somewhere private?~"

As she keeps flirting with Nick, the Scapolite sisters are both talking to each other about what they've seen today.

Scapolite 2: "So, from what we've seen so far, we've seen humans mercilessly take down one another with their...ranged weapons. The weapons themselves look to be primitive yet powerful."

Scapolite: "It seems so. I wonder what their tactics are. It seems so interesting, unlike any of ours. These humans also seem to rely on ranged weapons more than close combat."

They then see one of the Ghosts, Charles, talking with Flamingo Topaz, both of which are talking about the Ghosts

Flamingo Topaz: "So you're special you say? What makes you...special?"

Charles: "Better skill unlike any other soldier in the United States military. We're the best of the best. We're Ghosts, we're unbeatable, tough, reliable and brave. We fight for the United States and for our people."

Flamingo Topaz: "I've never seen such pride nor dedication from anything. You sound so dedicated to your work. I assume you enjoy it, yes?"

Charles: "Mhm, now. Soon we'll be heading out, so now we'll just rest for now and talk."
