The Alpha Echo Team: Book 1: Part 1

Chapter 20

It was January 13th, a brand new day at the HQ, and the sun was beaming down on the team.

Unbeknownst to the team, Arthur had been making contact with a few people, and they had some upgrades ready for the team.

After a while, a motorcade of cars started to arrive at the HQ.

"Captain! There's a motorcade just outside the H.Q. and what it looks like is that they're headed into the drill yard." Said Jas as she ran into Arthur's Office.
"Perfect. Thanks for letting me know Jas." Said Arthur as they got up

Arthur then went to greet everyone who had shown up.
"Hello everybody. If you give me a moment, I'll get the team out here." Said Arthur
Arthur then went back inside the HQ to bring the team outside.
"All units report to the drill yard." Said Arthur over the intercom
The entire team then raced into uniform and then quickly got outside to the drill yard.

"Team. I've been making some calls and getting some upgrades and alliances sorted. Another thing I've been getting sorted out is a new unit for the team." Said Arthur. "I'm now going to hand over to the heads of our new alliances so they can introduce themselves." They added

"Hello, everyone. My name is Arnold Bellvile, and I'm the leader of the A.F.O. which stands for Authorised Firearms Officer. What the A.F.O. is, is just an umbrella term for the teams who carry guns." Said Chief Arnold

"Hey, everyone. My name is Bailey Hanning. I'm the head of the S.F.O. which stands for Specialists Firearms Officer. We are a branch of the A.F.O. and what we do is assault premises involved in a siege situation, effect high-risk firearms related arrests, and respond to terrorist threats." Said Captain Bailey

"Hello all. My name is Santina Bascomb. I'm the head of the C.T.S.F.O. which stands for Counter Terrorist Specialist Firearms Officer. We are the highest branch of the A.F.O. and what we do is respond to terrorist incidents such as marauding terrorist attacks, assault premises involved in a siege situation, effect high-risk firearms related arrests, and respond to terrorist threats." Said Captain Santina

"Hey all. My name is Mariela Purkhiser. I'm the leader of the M.I.Five. which stands for Military Intelligence Sector Five. We protect the UK against threats to national security. Threats can range from terrorism to attempts by states to harm people in the UK and undermine our way of life. We carry out investigations by obtaining, analysing, and assessing intelligence, and then work with our partners to disrupt these threats." Said Chief Mariela

"Good day, everyone. My name is Ezra Chilcott. I'm the leader of the M.I.Six. which stands for Military Intelligence Sector Six. We collect Britain's foreign intelligence. It provides the government with a global covert capability to promote and defend the national security and economic well-being of the country." Said Chief Ezra

"Good day, all. My name is Austin Jones. I'm the leader of the S.B.S. which stands for Special Boat Service. We are Britain's maritime special forces unit. Since the Second World War, its highly trained crew has served around the world, on land and at sea, often carrying out daring undercover raids. Today, the S.B.S. leads the United Kingdom's marine counter-terrorism response." Said Chief Austin

"Hey guys. My name is Josh Powell. I'm the leader of the S.A.S. which stands for Special Air Service. We specialise in a number of roles, including counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, direct action, and special reconnaissance." Said Chief Joshua

"Thanks, guys. So, team, we are now allied with the A.F.O., the S.F.O., the C.T.S.F.O., the M.I.5., the M.I.6., the S.B.S., and the S.A.S.. Now then, I think it's time you meet the new crew member who will be taking the spot of Alpha Echo Twelve. This person is actually an old friend of mine and jumped at the chance to be a part of this team. Come on out, dude." Said Arthur
