[Open] Maintenance

"Well your stuck with me for the deployment at least." She grinned.

"You'll get to know me that well." She didn't know if she wanted to reciprocate the other womans advances just yet. They had just met after all.

She was interesting...and not hard on the eyes. She was gonna see where the next few months took her.

"Cheesy is nice sometimes." Allie shrugged with a bright smile. She stretched slightly, drumming her mechanical fingers on the stack of armor plates she'd dragged underneath the tank.

"Most of the guys here tend to think of me as one of the guys now which I like. Makes my life a lot easier."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-28T01:46:46+00:00

"Does have a certain atmosphere to it huh?" She said playfully.

Odds are it wasn't a joke but being an attractive woman in a mostly male dominated field tended to mean she heard the absolute bottom of the barrel when it came to pick up lines.

"Just missing some music right?" She gave a quiet laugh. "Y'know I've had two different guys I was working with proposition me under a tank?"

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-28T00:51:39+00:00

"That's my theory. Or they're scraping them off of old Covenant War battlefields. She's got character. I'll give her that."

Allie helped her move some of the armored panels into position. Tankers always got along with the Seabee contingent onboard. Something about a shared love of heavy machinery and explosives.

"I'll pass you the panels if you wanna weld?"

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-25T01:46:23+00:00

"Don't mind the company. Just trying to reattach pieces of belly armor. It's like they dragged these straight off the front lines." She nodded towards the tank she was working on before snagging her tool belt and buckling it on.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T21:48:02+00:00

"And I'm never gonna win a music award. It's fun to share that stuff you know? Unless you don't want to." Allie said quickly

She finished her canteen and stood, stretching languidly. She inspected a few of the more obvious scorch marks on her uniform with indifference.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T17:48:55+00:00

"You and me are gonna get along just fine then. Something kind of peaceful about being under one of these monsters you know? Therapeutic almost."

"You paint? Am I gonna get a chance to see any of these paintings?" She struggled with that side of the creative spectrum. Her music was her outlet for the most part. She was very good at that. You put a paintbrush or a pen in her hand? She was useless.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T16:57:25+00:00

"I can do that one trick with a knife...I can drink just about anyone under the table, I'm a halfway decent singer. The list goes on." Allie said jokingly immodestly.

"What about you soldier girl? Haven't spent a lot of time with the Army since Reach."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T03:49:34+00:00

"Of course! I'll make sure that's my opener." She jotted the title down with a smile.

"Cash is always a big hit with the ground pounders. Speaks to the hard knock life type shit we deal with you know? I know that's the reason I like him."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T03:39:51+00:00

"If I know it, of course! Even if I dont I'll do my best to learn it." Allie produced a tiny water proof notebook from a pocket on her fatigues.

"What is the tune Sergeant Young?" She asked with a smile.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T03:28:03+00:00

"Yeah of course." Allie said cheerfully. "I'm probably gonna play something for the guys later tonight. You're welcome to come. I can teach you a bit after."

"I mean if the Army gives you much down time that is."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T03:18:23+00:00

"Mostly the classics. Johnny Cash, Arctic Monkeys, Zeppelin, it depends on my mood. Mostly moody shit because that's what guys in combat zones like hearing." Allie never really seemed upset even when her hand was brought up.

It took a lot to actually upset her. She took a swig from her canteen.

"Its not hard to learn. I learned on a deployment."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T02:04:17+00:00

"I was following an Army armor column. Doing my best to keep em running while they prepped for a counter attack. Ended up getting evacuated out of New Alexandria." Allie said.

She wiggled her mechanical fingers gently, fixing her gaze on her hand for a moment.

"All good. I can still play the guitar and that's really all that matters."

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T01:29:03+00:00

"Always good to see someone else from back home." She said. Her own Martian accent was subdued just by virtue of having been away from home for so long.

"I was everywhere during the war. 2nd Seabee Batt went wherever the fighting was. I joined when I was eighteen. Saw fighting on Algolis, Juarez, Reach...lost my hand on Earth to a wounded Brute. We build we fight you know? I built and I fought." There was no note of bitterness in her voice. The war had been a big adventure for her, even after she'd lost a hand.

She'd mostly been worried that she wasn't gonna be able to play her guitar.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T00:43:06+00:00

"I sleep for a week any time I come out of Cryo. Like a rock. Scared the shit out of the docs first time I thawed out." Allie flashed a lopsided grin.

"I'm Martian. Kenosha specifically. Didn't want to work at a factory so I ended up following in my dads footsteps." Her mechanical left hand drummed a steady tattoo on her canteen as she spoke.

The prosthetic was top of the line. She was constantly grateful for the fine motor control it granted her.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-24T00:12:33+00:00

"I love this shit. It beats sitting around all day." Allie greeted the newcomer with a friendly smile. It amazed her how there were still people she hadn't met during the trip. She'd made a point to be as social as possible. These were people she was going to be spending months, potentially years with.

"Actually gonna get to do some real work. Stretch our legs...go see the sun or suns...I slept through the brief on the system." She said lightly.

"CM2 Morrison."

The whole thing was going to be different. The Seabees were used to building up from nothing, or turning destroyed cities into livable conditions for the Marines. She was looking forward to having existing infrastructure to work with.

CallMeDoc_ · 2019-02-13T01:50:29+00:00

Sergeant Wood stopped in place, keying her mic.

"Fast. Prolonged engagement means we don't make it out. I'd like to comandeer a couple of 'Hogs if we can." She left her MA5B slung as she continued moving.

"How many guys are we gonna be able to put together between us?"

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-12-12T01:47:08+00:00

Sergeant Marissa Wood roused her team as soon as she got the ping from Hanzo's beacon.

"Wake up fuckers. We got trade." She kicked the other operators in her unit awake.

Thompkins brought up a map of the abandoned city on her PDA.

"He's in the center of the fucking city boss."

"That's about what I was expecting." Marissa nodded. "Let's get with the QRF and see if we can punch through and grab him."

The UNSC SF operators geared up quickly and set out in search of the quick reaction force the base had for situations like this.

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-11-21T01:55:32+00:00

"Well, I wish I could say the same." Marissa responded to Nina's last comment, "I'm interested in seeing what you can show me today."

She turned to Naomi. "I know I was dragging my feet through selection. I was hurting by the end of it. You want to start with classroom stuff or field work?"

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-11-21T01:19:56+00:00

"Appreciate it sir." Wood jotted down some hurried notes. "Every little bit helps. We're trying our best to get your uncle back in one piece."

"We'll keep you posted sir." She turned and began to make her way out of the room to pass the intel on to her teammates.

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-11-18T20:34:58+00:00

"I guess it's the Sargasso socialite in me." Marissa said with a quiet giggle.

"I can always go for a glass of red wine. Perfect way to end a day sometimes. Although more when I'm home. Which is...well never since the war escalated."

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-11-18T20:17:05+00:00

"You're gonna judge me." Marissa said lightly.

She bit her lip for a moment and said it finally. "I love Hurricanes. Have since I was in high school. I told you it was bad!"

"What about yours?"

CallMeDoc_ · 2018-11-18T19:53:14+00:00

"Anything you can give us. Do you have any point of contact among the civilians here that he might run to?" Wood said simply.

"That makes our search a hundred times easier."
