The men sat down in the conference room as they got back to Sector 24. They looked over at General Harding as he sat at the head of the table. Jensen sat to the left of him as they watched. The men were uncharacteristically quiet for themselves as they had a hard enough time looking at General Harding and Jensen. "I hope you guys got your fill. For your own stupidity, I truly hope you did. I hope now you know better than to question authority." General Harding stated in a demeaning tone that demanded respect. "Yes sir." The men spoke in echoes around the conference table. Their voices were not as boisterous as they usually were. They were quiet, humbled and in thought.
"There is going to be a lot of information dumped on you boys in the next several months." Jensen stated as Luka looked over to him. "Novak, I am giving you command of the team." Jensen stated. "That's bullshit!" Kyle shouted. Jensen looked over at him. "Are you really going to keep disobeying me?! Who was the first person to fucking be beheaded by a Martian Spider?" Jensen asked in a demeaning tone. "A fucking Martian Spider?!" Parker shouted out. "Yeah, that was Mars genius. Why the fuck do you think it looked the way it did. We've been in their battles since the fifties." Rory stated. "Enough! I'm tired of the nonsense! We have a timeline to stick to and we are running far behind because none of you can man up and work together. Maybe it is time for punishments." General Harding stated as Luka and Billy looked at him. "No!" They almost said in unison. "I think a really good round with Pilot is going to be for the best." Jensen stated. "Novak, Dr. Malcolmson will be seeing you here." General Harding spoke as he hit a button on the table. The door opened and Dr. Malcolmson walked in. Billy felt his heart sink as Luka stared down at the table. "I am glad you brought me into this. I think I can make them very compliant and ready for the tasks at hand." Dr. Malcolmson spoke.
The men spent several days in VR battles, being thrown across the training facility in real live action. Luka was tortured and forced into compliance. The men were taken back through a portal to the Cheyenne base as they headed back to DC. They changed back into their regular fatigues, and no one really spoke to each other. They kept to themselves as they went to their bunks. Kyle followed Luka into the room as they both sat on their beds. Luka looked over at Kyle as he finally spoke. "You going to be alright?" Kyle asked as he looked at Luka. Luka nodded his head. "You know you can talk to me." Kyle stated. He knew something bad had to go on, if this man before him was nothing but a shell.
The men often had a lot of fights between each other, but they started to work better with each other. They started to pull together as a team. It had taken years before they were finally ready. Jensen requested the analytical team to pull only Earth Missions for the moment, since Gabe wasn't the greatest of fighters yet. Putting them in the middle of any Space Missions or even Inner Earth Missions would be suicide for him. Everything was coded as the men were requested to pick their own codenames. Luka, the only one who wasn't allowed to pick, kept his call sign of Reaper, which had been picked by the Higher Authority since he had started. He wasn't allowed much of a say in anything, but this would be his first-time commanding anything. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. He hated being controlled and told what to do, but he also had never had the freedom of choosing like he had now, and he wasn't sure if he was ready for that.
