The Sentient Inside

Chapter 1

The sound of helicopter blades could be heard from miles away as the group of military personnel began their travels to the Qatar base. There was chatter going on as they went. A young man by the name of Fig began talking of his mother's cooking. (Why he still lives with his mother don't ask me)

"Fig for the last time I am not going to your mother's house." Robert Epps said to Fig in slight irritation. It was throughout the whole trip the man was talking about food making the others quite hungry.

"Bobby! Bobby! Come on alligator has the most succulent meet." Fig said trying to change Epps mind about his mother's cooking. Then went off in a Spanish rant that none Other than Amelia could understand though that was only because the all spark gave her the knowledge to do so.

"Fig quiet down they don't understand ya Spanish rants speak English." She said to him and he huphed.

"Man why you got to ruin it for me. It's my heritage and all." Then he went off on another Spanish rant and they all sighed till Captain William Lennox interrupted him.

"Fig how many times do we have to tell ya? I mean speak English man." He said and Fig huphed yet again. (He does a lot of that don't he)

"Remember the good ole days. A good football game. A cold hotdog and a flat beer." Donnelly said and they all seemed to sigh.

"Yeah miss those days." Amelia said with a sigh. Her and Donnelly go way back they were and still are inseparable. Their parents always thought they would marry, it drove the two mad but they learned to ignore their parents trying to put them together. There was a round of agreements on the helicopter till Fig interrupted it.

"What about you Cap what's your perfect day?" He asked and Lennox got this dreamy look upon his face and Amelia giggled.

"I just can't wait to hold my baby girl for the first time." He had said and everyone awed.

"Ah shut up." He said and then they all turned to Amelia.

"Well what about you Donovan?" They asked and she smiled.

"Usually it would be me and my best bud here playing football with some ole high school friends out in the old abandoned park. Though I have to say. I do miss those flat beers." She said and a few of them laughed.

"I don't." Lennox said and Amelia laughed along with a few others. It was a few more hours later that the little group of camo wearing militarians got off the helicopter and joined the others.

"It ya got balls meet me on the court." Amelia heard and smirked.

"I'm in." She said and Epps laughed.

"Alright let's go." He said and they went off to play basketball with a few others. To Epps dismay Amelia's team won.

"Damn girl you got skills." He said and she smiled.

"Well I was team varsity captain in high school." Amelia said and he groaned.

"No wonder I just got my ass kicked." He said and she laughed.

"I could kick your ass at many things but let's keep it at basketball ay." She said and he laughed.

"Come on old man we got people to socialize with." She said and he sighed.

"If I have to." He said and she laughed.

"Come on." She said and they walked off and found Lennox in the tech tent talking with Sarah his wife.

"Hi Sarah!" They both yelled and Lennox rolled his eyes as Sarah laughed and greeted them back. After socializing for a while they got a call from Will to suit up and head to the main landing pad.
