Things were set as standard as 3 of red team were standing above their base talking about whatever was on their minds.

Steve: So is that really how it happened?

Simmons: Hell no! I'd be dead before say all of that!

Grif: Yes it is! You said, "I'm not going to the Vegas quadrant." And the next thing I know you're in an escape pod heading right for-

A soldier then appeared in armour the same as Sarge's as he approached the trio.

?: Excuse me, uh sirs?

Grif: Sirs? Aw crap.

Steve: I'm flattered soldier.

He said mocking the orange soldier.

?: I was told to report to Blood Gulch Outpost #1 and wish to speak to whoever's in charge.

Grif: Sorry man, Sarge is at command getting orders. Ain't nobody in charge today.

Steve: seriously? *scoffing*

Simmons: Actually private, he left me in charge while he's gone.

Steve: In your dreams private.

The maroon soldier just sighed.

Steve: Ahem! Are you forgetting who the Corporal is around here Simmons? Sarge actually left me in charge of Red Team for the time being. Oh and I do have permission to punish you both in ways you can't possibly imagine if you both misbehave.

Simmons and Grif just quivered as the corporal gazed at him. Though he turned his attention to the new red as he held his hand out for a handshake.

Steve: Welcome to Red Team Private. I'm Corporal Steve, those fools behind me are Grif and Simmons.

?: Woah nice to meet you sir! Trust me I won't let you down at all. Just like me on a night in a night club.

Steve had some form of idea what he was meaning but didn't want to look concerned in-front of the new rookie.

Steve:.....Riiiiiiiiight..

Simmons: So what's your story?

Donut: Private Donut reporting for duty, sir. I'm ready to fight some aliens.

Steve: Well you've come to the wrong place private. So take that as a blessing or a curse as you will.

Grif: Another couple of things here, rookie. First off, Private Donut? I think somebody needs a new nickname. Secondly, what's with the armour colour?

Some splutters and snickering were heard from the grey soldier as he tried to contain himself, he meant no harm, but the guy's name was private Donut.

Steve: Sorry....I'll try not to do that again.

Donut: This is the standard issue red.

Grif: Yeah, I know. Listen, only 2 kinds of people wear standard issue armours: officers and recruits. And since your not threatening to gut me like a fish, you're probably not an officer.

Donut: Well, what about them 2?

Simmons: no, my armour is maroon. Your armour is red.

Steve: And my armour is grey, the only red parts are just a design to show my rank as a corporal.

Donut: well, how do I get a different colour of armour?

Grif: You spray paint it you idiot!
