Cole raised Central Command on his com device and was quite irritated when they wanted confermation of who they were speaking with and to put Lt Barker on com. "This is Sgt Cole, Lt Barker is taking a fucking nap. He got really tired when our fucking transport was struck by lightning and crashed in the fucking dessert! Would you happen to know where in the fucking dessert we crashed?" There was a pause and then a new voice came over the com. "Sgt Cole, this is Gen Sax. You are very close to being subordinate Sgt." Cole hated the fucking officers, they were hard as hell to get any information from if you weren't kissing their ass. "Begging the General's pardon but unless the punishment for subordination is worste than cashlanding in the dessert in the middle of fucking zombieland, then I am more concerned with our location in relation to our target destination."<br/>There was another short puase then the original voice returned with the requested information. Cole turned back towards the group just as Ash came up beside him offering to check ou the city. "No, not yet. We need to see how bad Barker is injured and if he is going to be of any use. Then we are going to move on that structure there and get out out of the open to plan our next move. That city looks several miles away so in the dessert that means it is probably further."<br/>Cole turned and walked briskly back towards the group while Ash seen to Barker. "Well get your thumbs out your asses and set up a perimeter! You two," he barked at two of the normal grunts, "check out that transport and make sure there isn't anything left onboard that we can make useful! Lets go people, this is not a fucking vacation! We still have a mission and it would be nice if at least half of you lived to help me complete it! Asses and elbows! You know the drill!"<br/>Cole knew the drill too and he hated being in charge but unless Lt Candyass woke up, he was the highest ranking officer.'I should have worked harder at getting myself demoted before we started this mission.' He walked over to where they were tending to Barker. "Well, what's the verdict. Is he coming with us or do we pop two in his brain pan and pack the suit?"
