Flesh Wounds

Part One "United Nations Space Command"

"They really did like their flashy lights, didn't they?" I said as I entered the UNSC Assault Command Base or UACB... they did have a nack for acronyms to.

I just finished my MAP training and came on top of everyone else, it isn't hard. I just was myself and worked on not letting people die. Its simple enough... * Chough * if you listen.

I enter this armory and ask, " Who is copral Louis?" Everyone looks at me but a man who walks up to me and says, "Private Nick, I presume?"

"Yes sir" I say as I stand up strait and salute.

"You don't need to do that", He says "You're a higher rank than even me now, you're a SFM, spartan field medic."

"Wait, excuse me? I'm a what?" I question.

He says now sacasticly "A spartan field medic and a higher rank."

"Ok... one more time please", I joke. He looks as if he's deciding whether or not to do it. "No", he says as clearly as possible.

Akward silence.

"Alright" he says "I'll show you to your team, this way sir". Sir... that was weirdly, powerful like.

He leads me to a door with LP-503 above it. He says first I'll need my armor. Then he leads me to Armory-497. We enter the room and the wall, hundreds of cryo-pods are lined up against the walls. Then there's many machines in the middle, but over to the left a machine displays all the different armor types. All the way from assault to EQB. Every type was displayed on the big screen.

He told me to choose what armor type I wanted. I was about to scream, this was my absolute dream. He must of saw my expression because he asked "Sir, are you all right".

I replied disily "Nope, this is amazing".

"Okaaaaay" He said, probably frightened. He continued "Well I showed you where your team, and you can get your armor by yourself I'm sure so goodbye sir". We shook hands and then he left.

"Let's see here" I say to myself. I spend minutes looking through the armor choices.

"Took me awhile too" says a voice behind me. I turn around to look at them. "Oh, hey. I'm Felix".

"Nick" I say to the now known Felix. I go back to looking At the different armor types. "I think I'll go for the scout armor" I say to Felix. I turn around, but he's gone.

"Uhh, okaaay then" I say to myself.

I turn around back to the machine, but there's another person staring at me... With a gun in hand, pointed, at me. In a deep voice he says "Have you seen, Felix?"

"Down here fuck stick!" Felix says from the other side of the room, then runs through a door. I turn back to the man with the gun, but he's gone.

"Geez" I say "Everyone is dissapearing." I leave with my armor inside of a portable case. Now I stand in front of my team room door, I enter.

"Wrong room" says a guy in blue and orange armor at the end of the room working on, something with a blow torch. He doesn't even look at me.

"Actually, 34 I think 'that's' the new rookie" Another male voice says with sarcasm.

'34' looks at me with his death-like grey eyes and brown hair looking floofed. "So what's your name?" 34 asks.

"Nick", I respond. Then out of nowhere he says almost rehearsed sounding "Well you're Doc now."

He turns back to his blow torch and what seems to be a gun. I guess I'll just look around. I go over to the guy who told 34 I was me. He's playing on a, X-box? They have those up here? I look at the TV and find out that his profile is Smallsandman. So through process of elimination, he's Smallsandman. So I ask him "You're name is Smallsandman?"

He replies "Nah, they just call me Sandman up here."

"Ah gotcha" I say. I guess no one's going to show me around, I'll just show myself. I started looking around, and found the soilders quarters.

I walk down this hall seeing rooms saying the names of my new team, 34, Yang, Sandman, Doc (Me I guess) and Sparky. I feel sort of tired, I might actually head to my room

. So I did, there was a crate on a metal table off to the side of the room. But I was to tired to care at that time, I put down my case and plopped onto my bed....
