== /\ ODA Commanders Office /\ ==== "So like I said Angie, I won't be coming back anytime soon so if it really is going to get that itchy send the details to my doctor..." he closed the channel and kicked his feet up on the desk grabbing a PADD with the latest issue of some mens mag he'd picked up on the station. "I tell you now, that's a talent" he mussed to himself, being interrupted by the door chime. After he came in he stood fast, marine styler. "Mic...Cadet Michael McKnight reporting for duty sir," Jack leant back in the chair and sized the man up slightly. "What exactly are you reporting for mate? I've got nothing written down which suggests that I'm due a new officer." "Here are my transfer orders Captain." he handed him the PADD. Jack looked over them, seemingly legit enough, the Cadet had been assigned as Jacks Assistant Commander, not something he was expecting considering the guy was barely out of Quantico before being posted to a high pressure position. "Well looks like you're mine, too bad you turned up when you did, we're stuck babysitting a bunch of randy teenyboppers for their folks for some reason or another." "Aye sir!" the Cadet replied, a tad unsure of the Marine Captains behaviour. "Standard stuff Cadet, make sure nobody's anywhere they shouldn't be and of course make sure that 'nothing'" he used his fingers to signify the brackets, "happens to those kids, or your ass is grass and I've got a lawnmower, if you know what I mean..." he smirked slightly. "dismissed." He watched as the Cadet marched out of his office, no doubt to write a letter of complaint about his new department head. Whatever, the long and short of it was that once again Jack was stuck holding the baby, and this time they were literally babies, bunch of 12 to 18 year olds with raging hormones and an affinity for not washing. "Jesus I'd give anything for something to shoot" he threw a ball up against the wall letting out a slight sigh. "You know what? Screw that." he stood up and moved into the main den of the ODA Offices. "Listen up people" he waited a moment whilst the attention became focused on him. "We may be babysitting a bunch of teenyboppers but don't think for a second that's going to make my hand any softer. I want you all to prepare for standard capture the flag manoeuvres on the holodeck at 0445. That's right, 0445. Two Teams of 6 and Five. I'll take the Team of Five whilst our new Assistant Commander can have the team of six, considering he's a little green" he smirked and marched out of the offices, he had someone to see... Jack entered the mess to find a bit of a gathering going on, something he'd purposely tried to keep away from to be honest, everyone seemed a little too nice on this ship, and it wasn't really something he wanted to get himself into. Looking around he saw the target, in dress uniform, looking the same as always. "Ah Lieutenant Andersent Foster." he pottered upto him in the rather arrogant way that he was more than sure Foster would love to shove him out the airlock for. "How's it goin stretch?" he quipped with a small smirk. "Don't answer...you know I don't really care." "....." "As of now, you're being drafted into Training exercises with the ODA on the holodeck. You say you're not trained enough for Special Forces then I guess its my honest duty as Commander of the ODA to see that you get *all* the training you need." Jack handed him the PADD and watched as Andy read though. "That's right Lieutenant, 0445, Don't be late. You and the other officers from other departments are going to get a crash course in how to handle yourself under fire." he grabbed a glass of Champaign from a waiter with a tray, downed it and headed back out of the Mess, it was all looking a bit too prissy in there. <<OOC: Okie doke, sorry I've been gone for so long kids, but I guess this marks the return of Finn. Anyone outside of my department is welcome to Join us, It'll no doubt be some fun! Welcome aboard to my new Asst. Commander too>> ==== MCaptain Jack Walsh ODA Commander USS Chimera, Omega Fleet
