<span style="font-style: italic">"BRIDGE!"</span><br/><br/>And in came the man himself. Shayne turned towards the unmistakable voice of their captain as he stormed in, an ensign filling him in on all that had transpired. Shayne stood off to the side, awaiting the Captain's orders, although he was fairly certain of what would come next. As soon as the order for the breach was given, Shayne's easy going grin turned into a dark smirk. This was the part of the mission he was looking forward to the most. Sure being a Navigator was his pride, but there was something oddly satisfying about punching a slaver in the face when the time came.<br/><br/>As the Captain began to take charge of the bridge, Shayne was about to follow Gunny to the armory when he was stopped by a Canicid's voice.<span style="font-style: italic"> "Got any tips for a guys first true battle?"</span>Truth be told he hadn't even noticed the rookie walk in. His excitement had gotten the best of him.<br/><br/>He looked out once again at the ship they were about to slam into, and patted Rakdaar on the back. Looking him straight in his eyes, Shayne's only advice was, "Try not to die."<br/><br/>Leaving the newbie to think about that little gem, Shayne left the bridge and followed the rest of the breach crew to the armory. Although he had his trusty weapons with him already he did plan on grabbing a pistol or two just in case. As he passed by the other troopers, Shayne decided to give a little pep talk.<br/><br/>"Alright boys and girls, we ain't pulling no punches here." He called as he walked past, "Shoot to kill, cuz you know damn well they'll do the same. OH!" Shayne stopped and put up his finger in sudden realization. Turning on his heel towards the nearest trooper, he pointed to him, "And if you shoot anything that even resembles a star map, I will personally shoot you towards the planet." All the troopers looked at him in horror, until Shayne busted out laughing.<br/><br/>"I'm only kidding mates." They all sighed in relief and got back to preparation. Shayne turned around again and began walking. As he walked away, he smirked, "You guys would jam the cannons." Shayne could almost feel the troopers freeze up behind him.<br/><br/>Grabbing two light pistols and an eco suit, he made his way to the breaching point, nodding to Gunny and Rakdaar as they passed.
