The next morning. Danielle stepped out of the room she and anti-war photographer, Mason Weaver, shared. She was wearing a navy blue tank top, put had her leather jacket over top, black skinny jeans, and black boots.

She was also lugging around her bag, the straps were over her shoulders. Inside the bag had her first aid equipment in case something happens. She steps out onto the deck and noticed Mason taking photos of the soldiers.

They were all having fun. Smiling and laughing. Danielle just held onto her strap and then glanced up at the controls of the ship. Leaning against one of the higher railings was Conrad.

"Danni," The voice of Mason's called to her, "Come here!"

Danielle felt like she had to at this point, seeing as there were the soldiers now looking over in her direction. Danielle walked over, she lifted the straps over her shoulders and laid the bag on the floor of the deck next to her feet.

"Yeah?" Danielle asks.

Mason smiles holding her camera, "Get in the shot."

Danielle gives a confused expression, "What?"

Mason motions to the men, "Go on get in the shot." She grins.

The soldiers standing there, Danielle recognized. Glenn Mills, Earl Cole, Reg Slivko, and Jack Champman.

"Come on," Mills starts, "We don't bite."

Then Sivko joined in, "Unless you want us to."

The guys shared in a laugh. Danielle in returned rolled her eyes. Mason, however, kept nudging her over. Finally Danielle caved and moved over. Mason held her camera up and motioned for them to get closer.

Surprisingly, Danielle didn't hate it. At first she was a bit annoyed, but the guys began laughing and cracking jokes to which in return Danielle made some jokes. As this happened, Mason snapped the photos, to get the rawness of the moment.

After a few photos being taken, the soldiers were being called over. Leaving Mason and Danielle.

"Look at that," Mason turns to look straight ahead, "That storm."

Danielle turns around face forward, "Damn,"

Mason glanced at Danielle, "You having second thoughts, Danni?" Mason asks.

Danielle glanced at Mason and shakes her head, "No. You?"

Mason has a grin, "No."

Everyone goes into a battle station mode. Soldiers running to helicopters, and some grabbing the bombs and other weapons in case.

Danielle grabbed her bag, slugging it over her shoulder and began to walk to a helicopter she was assigned to go. She paused seeing Bill near Houston and San, the two younger scientist were heading in a different helicopter than Bill.
