Reject Squad: the struggle of commandos

You call this a welcome?

A week had passed since the death of the brother formally known as Okami. The main comms crackled to life.

"This is Blockade Runner Deliverance. We have broken through the Separatist blockade! Repeat, we have broken through the blockade!" They said.

Commander Apalm got onto the comm unit and guided the blockade runner in for a landing at the base. After the blockade runner landed and started to unload much needed supplies and the new commandos. The new medic was helping to unload the blockade runner. Spirit and Skeleton stepped off the blockade runner. Volta was leaning against some crates he was bored out of his mind while cleaning his Z6. As wounded were being loaded onto the ship Apalm walked up to Skeleton and Spirit. Both of them snapped to attention and rendered a salute. 

"Hello sir where is Echo Squad located at? " Skeleton asked then added, "I am their new tech expert.." 

Volta would approach from behind, "You're looking at what is left of Echo, just me." 

Skeleton turns around, "You're my squad leader then," he said, "What happened to the other three commandos?" Skeleton asked. 

"That's something you don't need to know." Said Volta his voice cold, "And no.I am not your squad lead I am your demolitions expert."   

"Dead, and Volta you are the new squad lead." Apalm said. 

Spirit looked over at Volta "I'm sorry you had to go through that." Spirit said.

"That's the most vague answer I can get but any explained is better than none." Skeleton said.

Volta glared at Spirit, Spirit not seeing any point to the glare shrugged it off.

"What do you mean I am squad lead? You expect me to teach two the ropes and lead a squad?" Volta asked in a sarcastic tone.  

"Yes Volta I do expect you to do just that." Commented Apalm. 

"You don't need to teach us the ropes, We've been shown the ropes in Training.....So all you really have to do is lead us..." Remarked Skeleton. 

Volta gave a glare to Skeleton then looked at Apalm. 
"And with all do respect sir if i told you to shove the rank up your ass?" Volta asked coldly.

Spirit was clearly taken aback by this but stayed silent. 

"Then you better say goodbye to your weapon and armor." Apalm stated. 

"Fine. And you," Volta said turning to Skeleton. "training and combat are two very different things." 

Spirit was staying silent not wanting to get on anyone's bad side. 

"Training prepares you for combat." Skeleton remarked. 

Skeleton then went to finish helping with unloading the supplies. 

Already having just about enough with his new technicians expert, Volta grabbed Skeleton and pinned him to the ground. His DC17 at Skeleton's head. 
"Training does not properly train you for combat, only its guidelines to it!" Volta sneered. 

Spirit jumped seeing this. Apalm immediately grabbed Volta throwing him off Skeleton. 

"GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!" Aplam snapped. 

"He needs to learn his place real fast if he's going to realize our actual situation." Volta remarked. 

By the time Apalm got Volta off Skeleton they could all see that he had a knife extended. 
"Never said it didn't properly train you. Being prepared isn't the same as experience." Skeleton said. 

Skeleton went to finish helping with the unloading and Spirit walked over to Skeleton. 

"Aplam sir I'm fine I am simply putting my commandos into their place noting more nothing less. Okami was an exception to my do not kill another clone rule...he shot our higher up." Said Volta in a cold monotone voice. 

"I'll be watching you." Apalm told Volta with a glare before walking away. 

Volta looked at the two assuming the medic had run off to get situated with the facility. 

"You ok?" Spirit asked Skeleton. 

"Yeah, kinda afraid, but I was about to stab him in one of the points not covered in armor. Only as a last resort though." Skeleton admitted. 

"I see, I'm just glad you're ok cant be losing a commando before we get any real action right? We just need to keep our eyes out for him..." Spirit said. 

At that moment Volta walked past Spirit and slapped him hard on the back of his helmet and continued on his way. 

  Spirit quickly turned around only to see Volta walking off. 

"I don't think he liked that." Spirit deduced. 

Skeleton having enough walked past Volta and whispered "Try that again, you're gonna get hurt, alright." Skeleton then walked over to Apalm and Volta didn't seem fazed by Skeletons threat.

"Sir, what's his deal.... he seems mentally unstable... like borderline psychotic. I don't trust him." Said Skeleton. 

Just then a clone officer with bandages around his head walked over. 

"I guess you both met Volta." Jinx said. 

"Yea is he ok? He seems like something is bothering him. I mean we were informed that the others are no longer here... but, what exactly happened?  If you don't mind me asking sir." Spirit asked. 

"It's best not to talk here. I'll show you to your new quarters." Jinx said. 

Skeleton and Spirit followed Jinx to their quarters it was in the same building as Volta's.  While Spirit looked around Skeleton headed to his own bunk and put his DC-17m away but kept his pistol on him incase Volta attacked again. 

"Feel free to take off your armor if you both want to relax." Jinx stated.

Spirit took note of Skeleton's behavior, 
"Lighten up, I'm sure he wont do anything to put us out of commission,"  Spirit said whilst removing his helmet. "I think you're being too hard on him. I mean he just went through a lot before we got here. Hes just a bit on edge right now, wouldn't you be if you were in his position?" Spirit commented. 

"I'll keep mine on, I feel much safer around Volta with it on, and while armed...." Skeleton replied. 

Skeleton started to mess around with a portable hologram projector that he had on him. At the current moment, it was broken however, Skeleton was trying to fix that. 

"Well I'm your advisor, I will be directing you during missions, call me Jinx." Jinx stated. 

"Well, I'm skeleton, If you don't know how I got that nickname, your quite stupid...." Skeleton said. 

"Um Skeleton settle down ok?" Asked Spirit.

Suddenly, a blaster round flies through the walls past the advisor and skeletons heads. Jinx jumped as it went by him and Spirit instantly became on guard. Skeleton fired right back and grabbed his DC-17m.

"Told you he can't be trusted." Said Skeleton running outside ready to shoot to injure.

"Skeleton you idiot get back here!" Spirit yelled and ran out to stop him. 

"Next time advisor don't bring it up." Volta said in the comms. 

 Volta would be sitting on his bunk and cleaning his guns as Skeleton's round hadn't come near him. 

"Alright, who just tried to blow my head off? Turn yourself in and you'll probably not die."  Skeleton said. 

"You have no command here rookie." Volta said in the comms. 

"Skeleton just calm down lets not start any trouble on our first day shall we?" Urged Spirit.

After about fifteen minutes with still no results, Skeleton finally went back to the bunks with Spirit having muted Volta. 

"Alright... cant trust Volta still..." Skeleton stated. 

"That's enough both of you!" Jinx snapped.
