Adam sat in the transport carrier, his violet eyes were glued to the book in his hands. After so many times of doing this throughout his life he had learned to keep his eyes on the page and never let them waver unless you would want to feel the tossing and turning of your stomach. Around him there was the constant yammering of the various grunts of the Earth Federation. Some were bragging about their combat experience and how many of those nasty Zeon scums they wiped out into little tiny particles. He scoffed at that, they were arrogant, eager, those qualities were what was going to eventually get them killed. Though he himself doesn't understand the significance of a high kill count, even though he has obtained the rank of Cheif Warrant Officer his kill count was quite low. All he had was around ten kills of assorted type, mainly Zaku I's, only about one-and-a-half Zaku II's. The half being only destroying the lower torso before backup for it arrived. He only rises through the ranks by following orders and not pissing off any CO's. He remained in space for his first tour of duty. He watched endlessly as the Zeon gained the upper hand in technology, MS design, combat. Hell he was shocked that the Earth Federation was still in this fight!<br/><br/>Now here he was, reassigned to the EF's ground forces in Africa. He had never been there, only read about it in his geography text books when he was still in school. Big place, lots of sand, a little bit of jungle, nothing special. He was shaken from his thought by the rattle of the carrier. He returned to his book until the carrier came to a stop.<br/><br/>He looked out to see a row of various buildings and hangars thrown together haphazardly. 'Yep,' he thought, 'This is an Earth Federation base.' He got up from his seat, grabbed his duffle bag, and got out of the carrier. He made his way to report in. When he got to the building he saw a soldier step out and put on a false bravado by flipping off the building. He scoffed at the sight, "I give him a month before I see him in med bay," He said under his breath. He compared himself to the angry young man. His uniform was untucked and sloppy compared to Adam's uniform which was all prim and propper. The EFSF logo on hissed shoulder and the tan horizontal bar with three red squares on the left side of his chest. He left his bag outside while benefit inside to report in. He walked up to the desk, stood upright and saluted. "Sir, Cheif Warrant Officer Adam Park. Reporting in."
