A man stood on a foothill with three others adorned in armor that resembled the COG. The man having dark brown corn rows that went down to the base of his neck, his skin was tanned to the color of a lightly burnt pancake, he had the physique of a well built drill sergeant, and he had a hammerburst, Lancer, Gorgon pistol, and frag grenades across his body. His name was Yuki rutiyo, but everyone called him Logger. His team was with one ranged, a scout, and a medic. After the COG fell the stranded made their own army and called themselves the Stranded Alliance Task Force, or SATF.
Today he was taking his new team to New York City, or at least where it was prior to the Lambent attacks. He looked behind himself seeing the cadets able to keep up with their collected weapons from the Locust and Lambent they had killed along the way. The SATF had been doing this since they were made. Yuki was going to make his first hold on retaking major cities that had fallen, and he was going to do it or die trying.
They made it to the outskirts of the city makng a base camp there to have a starting point. Yuki placed Cranis trey, the scout of his team, and Garry unduli, the ranged of the team. They looked like two twins in their uniforms. They had the exact same sets of COG gear on, but their weapons helped Yuki distuingish between the two. Cranis was wielding a Lancer, smoke grenades, Boltok pistol, and Gnasher shotgun. While Garry had a modified Breechshot with a scope from a long shot, smoke grenades, Boltok pistol and Hammerburst.
Yuki had looked at the two and said, "Cranis, Garry, I wnt you two along that ridge taking point."
Cranis looked up from his game of poker with Carol anne, the teams medic. "Yes Logger."
Garry was loading his Breechshot when Yuki gave him the order. "Yes sergeant Rutiyo."
Before they went to far yuki spoke out. "Garry For the I don't give a fucking shit know thousandth time. Call me Logger."
"Sorry sir." He wet quickly with Cranis to the ridge to play look out.
Yuki turned to Carol and walked to her smiling. "So Carol. How is the game going?"
Carol anne was a slimly built girl with no helmet showing her military high and tight red hair, on her back was a Retro Lancer, Gnasher shotgun, Stim grenades on her hip, and a Snub pistol to accompany the grenades. She shook her head to him groaning, "Fucking terrible, I swear he is cheating in this. I have lost over thirty bottle caps to this asshole."
Yuki chuckled knowing Cranis was cheating but kept quiet about it to watch her get mad at him herself. Yuki sat down in the spot cranis was in wiping the sand out of his eyes. "So how do you feel out here?"
She smiled at him with glee. "Like I'm at home. Somehow this world feels more like home than imagining the real world."
"War does that to a person." He looked up at the ridge seeing Cranis and Garry as they were looking into the town. He smiled and looked down feeling content with the calmness that was happening.
