The new Recruit ~ Commander Peepers x Watchdog!Fem!Reader

The new recruit - Part 1

Your hands grip tightly to the straps of the heavy bag that weighed down on your back. All of your belongings sat in that little rucksack, all of your past.

You looked towards the looming shadows cast by the skullship that was parked right in front of you and hummed quietly with determined enthusiasm.

Your future lay out before your feet, and you took the first steps forward.

To be quite honest, you didn't think you'd get in, with every other guy in town itching to get the same job as a watchdog for the Hater Empire.

You didn't know if it was that you were female, or the fact that you had the highest ranking scores in your final educational exams or...maybe it was how well-written your CV was??

You didn't know but decided to make no further enquiry on the matter.

What really mattered was that you were here and you were going to put in all of your efforts for the cause of greater evil!

Back to the now, you managed to stop your hands from shaking out of excitement and nerves, quickly making your way up the long tongue-like steps of the ship.

Once you had reached the top, another watchdog was there to escort you into where you'll be spending the majority of your life. His voice was deep but laced with excitement.

"You're Y/N, right? I'm Ted but people tend to call me Teddie. The commander sent me to take you to your quarters, he's kinda busy right now."

"That's fine, thank you." You smiled with your eye and followed him inside the ship's entrance.

"You know..." He began.

"We've never really had a female watchdog working around here, like, ever. Never really knew why though...Oh! Here's your room, sorry but I'm kinda on a tight schedule this evening and the Commander's gonna' kill me if I'm not on time at my post. I've gotta' look after a couple prisoners, uh...make yourself at home!"

He scampered off as you looked around your new quarters. There were multiple papers on your bedside table with your regular timetables for week 1 and 2 as well as additional lesser jobs you could do to help out other watchdogs.

You were designated as the main strategist but could also do some optional soldier work and occasional mechanical maintenance.

Your eye gleamed in determination then drooped as tiredness took over. You didn't realise how much you've been putting off sleep until the feeling hit you like a ton of bricks. You placed the papers back to the side as you nuzzled happily into the thick covers and succumbed to the lull of sleep.

You were going to attend a conference tomorrow to give you an idea of the current situation, but you had a little extra time to do some of the lesser tasks to help your new colleagues out.
