Staff Sergeant Richard Garner gently picked up the baseball. It was pretty worn out from years of use. Garner examined the ball and saw the name Derek Jeter signed on it. While most people would keep a signed ball on some pedestal to sell at a later date. He on the other hand wasn't planning on selling it. " Hey Serge why are we playing baseball." Specialist John Carter said. Garner looked over at the third base man.

"Well Specialist since today is a donza. I figured we would play some ball for PT. Before you'll can enjoy your four day" He said. He had a bit of a Brooklyn accent. He looked at the catcher Private Louise Gonzales. She moved two fingers downwards. He nodded before throwing a slider towards her striking out the man on plate. "If you prefer to run three miles then go right ahead." He said catching the ball.

" But why baseball Sir." Carter said. "Why not something like football?" Garner just shook his head as he threw a fast ball to Gonzales as a practice throw.

" Well simple I Prefer baseball." He said. "And since I am the ranking officer at this moment we are..." His voice was cut off as a large shadow loomed over him. He looked up wards. "What the hell." He said as he stared at a large unidentifiable ship loomed right in front of the sun. "Game's over. Get to your posts." He said his voice changing from friendly and upbeat to serious.

Garner stepped out of the Humvee into the cold Denver air. He let out a breath that immediately turned visible. For the last two months The Others as the government calls them have been cutting lines threw the continental United States.

Garner lost most of his platoon the 38th infantry in the Battle for Seattle. Since then what was left of the 38th was absorbed by different divisions.

Garner walked towards a small group of hastily made barracks. Entering one of them he walked to the main room and looked over the men and women he would serve with in the 102nd. " Attention." He said trying to get the attention of the room.

Sergeant Tobias Slade, more commonly referred to as Sergeant Wrench, was sitting in the barracks when Garner entered. Wrench stood to attention and saluted Garner, he had be placed on this regiment after he returned from his last mission, he was told that it was desperate times and he had to join a regiment. So now here he was standing in a barracks and saluting someone, desperate times indeed.

Garner glanced at the men and women. Most seemed to be out of place in an infantry division. As he looked across the room he saw MPs, Chaplin's, Artillery men, even a Aviation pilot among this portion of the 102nd. 'Desperate times.' He thought as a frowned slightly. He looked over to his side and saw a man in black leather mask and khaki's ' Black ops?' He thought. He looked down the masked man's uniform. He shook his head before addressing the crowed.

" I know you guys don't want to be here." He said. " Hell I wanted to be the starting pitcher for the Yankees, but do to an injury in college I wasn't able to play for the last half of my final season." He paused a second before getting serious.

"I can't guarantee most of us will survive. From the look on your guys patches most of you are orphans like me." He said. " My platoon was mostly wiped out in Seattle." He said trying to humanize himself. " This isn't a war we prepared for who would've thought Aliens would actual exist, and for some reason these fuckers prefer American meat as opposed to any other country. We are the frontlines of this war. If we lose not only will this great country fall but so will the apparent first defense of Earth." He said. He turned to Slade and gave him a ' Fallow me.' look before exiting the main room.

Wrench followed behind Garner,he turned to him, "so what do you want sir". He wasn't sure why he wanted him to follow, but he decided to see how this fanned out. He fiddled with the band of throwing knives on his chest. He also had a silenced pistol strapped to his leg and a his LED display on his mask also allowed him to hack certain devices, like how the army had recruited him to begin with, after he hacked into one of their servers, just by looking at a security camera.

He looked over the guys equipment. "From what I saw in there we're the only NCOs in this unit." He said as he looked the man in the eyes or at least where the masked showed eyes. " So we have to work together black ops." he said. He chuckled a little bit. "We must be in some serious shit if you guys are being pulled into regular duty."

"Yeah, I guess so" Wrench said in response to Garner's statement, "may I ask what our first mission is, sir". Wrench was intrigued, he wasn't used to work with a lot of people, but he would just have to attempt to use his skills to help the collective, he accessed a file on his 'hud', to people he would just be looking forward, he was examining the soldiers in 102nd files, he was examining one file a soldier he had spotted in the barracks, (@m1h4jl0 ) -hmmm- he thought to himself.

Garner looked at him. ' " I don't know anymore than you do." He said. " I'm only a non com. We don't get information ahead of our commanders. Hell I don't even know who's in charge of this little group of ours." He thought back to the people in the break room there was at least thirty of them in there enough for a platoon. "I just hope it isn't some butterball 2nd lieutenant who's only trying to get rank. Then we're fucked." He said

"Sirs." A blonde haired man said as he ran up to them. " The Cornel wants everyone to report to the break room." He said.
