Guardians

Recruits

    Zoriah arrived at his new base, it was in the middle of "No Mans Land" .  No Mans Land ran down from North Dakota straight down to Texas. There in the land is a post apocalyptic world, all of the western side of the United States reside the humans. The Eastern side the supernatural beings reside, they have create a civilization. A civilization where no humans can't enter. While the humans that reside in No Mans Land live in despair trying to get by. The supernaturals and the humans send small skirmishes to fight one another but that doesn't make much difference.

    Zoriah never had seen the Guardians base until now, just heard stories. Some say the base used be a old asylum. Others had said that the base is mixed with a laboratory. He found out that the base is a huge fort. The helicopter that had dropped him off left as he stepped off. The general happened to be on the roof waiting for him.

"Ma'am" he saluted.

"At ease" she replied as she took off her sun glasses, "Follow me".

    The room where he followed General Wright seemed to be some sort of communication center. Computer monitors covered the walls relaying information people stared into the monitor looking at the files. The sound of keybaord typing and mouse clicking filled the room, on occasion people will mumble information to each other. In the middle a small round table stood, small stacks of paper covered it. General Wright shuffled through a few of the stacks thinking intensively. Zoriah approached towards her, "Here are files of the people you can choose to recruit." she handed him a portfolio with a black cover. 

"I thought I will be assigned a team?" he took the portfolio. 

"Heh nope thats not how it works the soldiers I choose become the leaders which assemble their own team" She chuckled.

  One of the many communication officers walked up to the general, whispering something to her. She replied in the same level of whisper, after the small converation was over the officer left. "It seems there is something urgent that needs my attention. Please go get rest and assemble your team as soon as possible"

"Yes Ma'am I make sure of it" he replied. 

  As once Zoriah had gotten his room he didn't rest, instead he immediately started flipping through files of soldiers. Out of the fifteen that were in the portfolio there was two that had interested him. The first Sapphire Reed, mid rang, short range, and hand to hand specialist, she fought in one of the first human and supernatural wars. Finally the second Raiza Thorn, explosion specialist and heavy weapons expert, with a history of creating mischief. Zoriah only needed one more to complete his team, the problem was that there was very few snipers that had an engineering background.

"Ah, this is hard" Zoriah said fustrated, running both hands in his hair. Zoriah banged on the the table, the portfolio fell. "Damn" he muttered.

Upon retriving it, a single paper laid under it, 'how long has that been there'  He thought. The name read Eiríkr Droco. Continuing on reading he found Eiríkr's profile interesting, found in Nebraska. Once recruited he belonged to the "Black Beret", a group of superior snipers. It was said that most of them died out in the great wars. The survivors disbanded and went seperate ways. Not only was he a Black Beret he was a natural with tech, a prodigy in both areas. The only thing that was off was that he went to Helens Mental Institute due to......."complications". 

   The morning was going to be interesting and tiresome for Zoriah. Not only did he have to meet his new teammates but he must find out about Eiríkr. He was escorted to the heli pad, the same way he arrived. The helicopter arrived thirteen minutes after he did dropping off his new team. First to come out was Raiza, battle ready holding a duffle bag. She wore a proud smile that showed her mischievous personality. Her skin was a slight caramel skin, her eyes a light blue. She walked down once she was a few feet from Zoriah and stood still, dropping her duffle bag. Finally was Sapphire Reed as she walked there is a sort of authority around her. Her eyes emerald green, her skin white with a slight tan due to tours in the hot sun. She too carried her duffle bag, she took a brief moment to look around before she joined Raiza. 

"Good soldiers indeed Captain Zoriah." General Wright made Zoriah jump.

"I guess so" He replied trying to cover his flash of fright. 

"You just need one more recruit any in mind lately" 

"Yes ma'am I would like to see a man named Eiríkr Droco" He turned to face her in a serious attitude.
