Harvey and the eight FOXTROT Operators are gathered inside a room. Harvey went to the front of them and introduces Felicia.

Harvey : " Alright. Meet our new member, Felicia, you can come inside now. "

Felicia walks in and into the front besides Harvey and salutes.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *salutes* I'm Felicia! Callsign: FOXTROT 02! I look forward to working with you all. "

The operators clapped.

Harvey : " Okay. That's it for the introduction. It’s given that all of you had their callsigns moved back because of the promotion. Are there any problems with that, FOXTROT 03, and you guys? “

[ FOXTROT n+1’s ] : “ None sir. “

Harvey : " Alright. Have a sit then FOXTROT 02. Let's proceed with the lessons. "

Felicia sits by the front seat. The other operators sat as well to help Felicia understand what it means to have a fellow SOF Operator, especially during a mission.

Harvey meanwhile continued to teach the basics of operation, planning, strategies, and any lessons that are all about conventional and unconventional modern warfare to Felicia with the help of the other FOXTROT Operators.

...

...

...

After a couple of hours' worth of lecture…

At the H.Q.’s Firing Range...

Harvey and Felicia then proceed to the weapons training and proceeds to teach Felicia about modern weaponry and arsenal. This made Harvey remember the time that his Grandpa Alex first taught him how to use guns.

So, out of commemoration, he picked up a Browning Hi-Power pistol and a scoped .22 Winchester 69 inside a metal locker. He then presents it to Felicia at the table.

First, he introduces the Browning pistol.

Harvey : " This is what you call a "pistol". It fires a small "cartridge" called a 9 millimeter. "

He then picks up the Winchester rifle.

Harvey : " While this is what you call a "rifle". It has the very same characteristics of a musket, but rifles can be one of the two - bolt action, and automatic. This certain rifle is a bolt action one and it fires another small "cartridge" called the .22 caliber. "

Felicia stared at the guns in awe.

Harvey : " So as you can see, the rifle has the same positioning as a structure like a musket or a crossbow, so it shouldn't be hard to use this. Come on now. Let's do some shooting! "

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " Ye-yes captain! "

... ... ...

The two then went in front facing the shooting targets.

Harvey : " Okay. What gun do you want to shoot first? "

Felicia then paused for a moment to look at the two guns.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " I choose this one first, captain! "

As she first picked the Winchester rifle.

Harvey : " Oh. Nice pick! That's also the very first gun I used to shoot. "

Felicia then picks up the rifle.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *gulp* "

She is now very thrilled to fire the weapon, while Harvey then proceeds to teach the safety, aiming and firing the gun.

... ... ... …

After a quick safety guide, Harvey lets Felicia fire the rifle.

Harvey : " Alright. Whenever you are ready, you can go ahead and shoot. Give it your shot, ok? "

He then went beside Felicia to be her spotter, while Felicia went on a firing stance just like Harvey instructed her earlier.

She peeks through the rifle scope and aims at the center with her heart beating fast as the thrill and adrenaline flow into her.

Harvey : " Aim small, miss small. Hold thy breath before firing. "

He said while looking through the spotter scope.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *breathes in* *throbbing heart sounds* "

...

*BANG*

*CLINK!*

…

The metal clink echoes a half of a second later after the shot.

Harvey : " Dead center! Nice shot! One more! "

Felicia smiles as she peeks outside of the scope to see her first shot marks the target.

She then racks another cartridge and peeks through again in the scope.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *breathes in* *throbbing heart sounds* "

...

*BANG*

*CLINK!*

...

Harvey : " Very good! Dead center again!

Felicia, with a few sweats, continues on and racks another cartridge.

... ... ... ...

The shooting lasts until the second magazine.

*BANG*

*CLINK!*

…

Harvey : “ Haha! Good job. Ok, remember to check the bolt to see if there is still a cartridge left for safety. “

Felicia racks the bolt out and checks to see if there is still a cartridge left inside.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *racks out rifle* None, captain! "

Harvey : “ Good. Eject the magazine out, and then lay the rifle down. “

She then ejects the rifle magazine out and puts the rifle beside the table.

After that, Felicia proceeds with the Browning Hi-Power pistol. Harvey grabs the pistol and does the same safety guide to her.

Harvey : " For this one, you need to have both hands on the grip. Make sure you hold it tight. "

He said while also demonstrating it, and he then proceeds to grab Felicia’s hands to put the pistol in her hands for the demonstration.

Harvey : " Like this... "

As Harvey holds the hands of Felicia and puts it to the grip.

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " Hu-huh? Wow! Ha- the captain's hands are big. "

Felicia thought with a little blush.

Harvey : " Okay. Fire a couple of rounds. I’ll grip your hands to make sure that you'll have the gist of it. "

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " O-Okay! "

Felicia peeks through the iron sights.

*BANG* ...

She didn’t expect the recoil of the gun that her hands loosened a little, but luckily, Harvey’s hands got in the way and the pistol remained in control.

Harvey : “ Hahaha. That’s alright. Just grip the pistol very tight so that it won't sway much. “

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " So-sorry, captain! "

Harvey : “ Haha nah, that’s alright. Go on. I’ll continue to help you grip it. “

*BANG* ...

*BANG* ...

Harvey : " Nice. I'm gonna let go of my hands now. Try it for yourself this time. "

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " Ro-roger, captain! "

*BANG* ... *BANG* ... *BANG*

Slowly and steadily, Felicia keeps on learning and familiarizing how to properly use the pistol.

... ... ... ...

The shooting lasts until the fourth magazine.

Harvey : " Not bad! Not bad at all! With a little more practice, you might have what it takes to use the big toys! "

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " Tha-thank you, captain! "

Harvey : “ Alright. Once again, check the pistol to see if it is still loaded… “

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *racks off pistol twice* None, captain. "

Harvey : “ …..and the magazine….. “

[ FOXTROT 02 - Felicia ] : " *ejects magazine* It’s also empty."

Harvey : " Good! You can leave the pistol by the table now and we will take a quick break. Come on. Let's head back home. "

The two then head back towards the Main House to take a break.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Couple more minutes...

H.Q.’s Main House….

After the break with Olivia and Rosie, Harvey and Felicia went back towards the armory and firing range to continue shooting.

It's important to teach a newly educated person how to properly use modern weaponry. Especially when they are joining a modern military unit.

They trained all kinds of weapons: pistols, rifles, shotguns, SMGs, LMGs, grenades, and even large arsenals like RPGs, LAWs, and Javelins.

The two trained nonstop for about a couple more hours and the firing range resonated loud and exploding sounds.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

After the Weapons Training...

H.Q.’s Main House...

Felica is very exhausted because of the weapons training and sat in the kitchen with Olivia and Rosie.

[ Olivia ] : " Hmm? Where's Sir Harvey? "

[ Felicia ] : " Ahh. He's got some business to attend to with the others back at the Main Operations Quarters. He said that we can go ahead first to eat dinner. "

[ Olivia ] : " I see. You guys mustn't push yourselves alright? "

[ Felicia ] : " Hehe. Don't worry. Oh come to think of it, what is your age, Olivia?"

[ Olivia ] : " I'm 23 years old. Rosie here is 10. What about you? "

[ Felicia ] : " My age is 21. So that makes you the older sister here huh? Haha. Hmm. What about the captain? Do you know what age he is? "

[ Olivia ] : " I don't really know. But I sense that he's somewhere between in his twenties also. "

[ Felicia ] : " Hhm? Looks like you two can get along well huh? "

[ Olivia ] : " Haha. Well, at first, I thought that he was just another bad guy that was going to take advantage of us again. But he didn’t, and he treated us with respect and importance. That’s why we are deeply thankful for him. "

[ Felicia ] : " I see. “

Felicia looks down and sighs.

[ Felicia ] : “ Lucky for you sisters *sigh* It’s sure easy if you have someone you trust and like by your side huh. "

Felicia said with a sad tone.

[ Olivia ] : " Fe-Felicia? " Olivia asked with a concerned face.

Felicia looks up and awkwardly smiles.

[ Felicia ] : " Ah! Nevermind it! Forget what I said okay? "

But Olivia sensed that something was bothering Felicia.

[ Olivia ] : " Felicia. Is something on your mind? I'm here if you need someone who can talk. "

Seeing the worried face of Olivia, Felicia gives up.

[ Felicia ] : " ....*sigh* Alright. "

Felicia then proceeds to tell the story of her past with her boyfriend. On how they love each other, go on dates, and the night he died at the hands of the bandits.

Olivia, knowing also the pain because they had also lost loved ones at the hands of bandits, comforted Felicia.

After the brief talk, they have finally calmed down and proceed with eating dinner.

...

Meanwhile...

Inside the H.Q.’s Main Operations Quarters…

Inside, Harvey and Chief of Main Operations Temporary - HOTEL 01, are meeting inside to discuss what HOTEL 01 had planned to improve further the base. “

[ H.Q. ] [ C.M.O. ( Chief of Main Operations ) Temp. ][ HOTEL 01 ] : " ...and that's for the troop deployments into the Arkson Base, sir.

Harvey : " Hmm. Not bad. Good job. For that, I'm gonna now Promote you to Colonel, so that you can officially organize and further develop our bases on my behalf. We can scratch that “Temporary” paper on ya. "

[ H.Q. ] [ C.M.O. Temp.] [ HOTEL 01 ] : " Re-really sir? It's an honor, sir! "

Harvey opens his Military Development System and selects the "Officers" tab.

Harvey : “ Let’s see. In order to promote a unit into a “Colonel”, I first have to collect “50 Souls”. Argh. I still can’t believe that this is the shit. “

He then checks how many Souls he has.

Harvey : “ Pft haha! Exactly “50 Souls”. Come on. Well, it’s better than nothing I guess. “

He then selects "Colonel for: 50 Souls".

 

And the female robot voice appears again.

"Promotion.Function..."

“DETECTED”

“Please.Select.Unit…”

 

A small blue triangle appears above HOTEL 01’s head to indicate that he can be Promoted.

Harvey : “ I see. So that is how it works. How can I then select HOTEL 01? Do I just have to click you?….”

Harvey with his hud, selects HOTEL 01, and the system picks up the unit.

The female robot voice appears again.

 

*beeeeeeeeeeep*

“Spawn.Unit…”

“HOTEL 01…”

“DETECTED”

"Confirm: PROMOTION?"

 

Harvey agrees.

A magic circle spawns underneath HOTEL 01 and a bright light engulfs him.

Harvey : “ WHOA! WHAT IS HAPPENING? “

After the magic circle disappears, HOTEL 01 is left standing motionless. Harvey checks up on him.

Harvey : “ Uh, hello? How are you feeling? “

But HOTEL 01 doesn’t say anything and remains motionless.

Harvey : “ Uh, hello? You ok dude? “

But then, the female robot voice suddenly speaks again and made Harvey surprised.

 

*beeeeeeeeeeep*

“PROMOTION…”

“Completed.”

“Please.Enter.Name…”

 

Harvey then checks his hud.

The hud now says: "Col. _____".

Harvey : " Oh yeah. I can name the spawn units that get Promoted. Hm. Because you’re formerly HOTEL 01, I’ll have you named with all H’s."

Therefore, Harvey types to his hud:

“Colonel Hopkins H. Henderson”

Harvey : “ Argh. I’m sorry that I couldn’t think of a better name. Well, let’s just go with it and see what happens. “

*click*

Just after he clicks the enter, HOTEL 01 glows a little and changes appearance from an operator uniform, to a high-officer uniform.

 

*beeeeeeeeep!*

"Naming.Accomplished..."

“Adjusting.HOTEL Units.Callsigns...”

He then salutes to Harvey.

 

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *salutes* Colonel Hopkins H. Henderson at the service. "

Harvey : " *whistles* Dang. You suddenly reminded me of the higher-ups in my base doing all the strict rules and stuff. Hahaha. You also seemed to be calmer and composed than before huh. I think it's because of the promotion. Do you still have your memories of being HOTEL 01? "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Yes, sir. My rank and character are the only ones that have changed. "

Harvey : " Tsk noice. Alright. I'll entrust H.Q. and all of the operations and systems going on around here to you. Aaaand because I have zero knowledge on how to run and organize departments. "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Understood sir. "

Harvey : " Alright. Time to head towards Arkson Base to check up the lad Able 1-1 there! "

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " Have a nice trip, sir. "

Harvey then went outside to the Helipads.

...

...

...

At H.Q.’s Helipads...

Harvey : " Hmmm. I wonder if we had enough hangars and space for airfield parking right now. I want to summon another heli. “

Harvey picks up the radio and contacts Colonel Hopkins.

Harvey : “ *radio* Uhmm, Colonel, who is in charge of the general aviation and flight control?"

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* That will be the 3rd Platoon from Nexon Company. "

Harvey : " *radio* Thank you, Colonel. What are their frequencies?"

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* Wait a moment sir. Let me check my notes. “

Flips of papers can be heard through Harvey’s radio.

…

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : " *radio* Sir, Flight Control is: 5.13 ; and General Aviation is: 1.21. “

Harvey : “ *radio* Thank you again, Colonel. I will then contact them to see if I can spawn one more heli. “

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : “ *radio* Welcome, sir. I will also scramble two Apaches on the way to escort you to Arkson Base. “

Harvey : “ *radio* Nah nah, no need. It’s just half an hour away. Besides, we got to save our oil supplies, even though I can just spawn more of it.  But it is not good to always rely on my powers you know. “

[ H.Q. ] [ Chief of Main Operations ] { Col. Hopkins H. Henderson } : “ *radio* I-I understand. Sorry, sir. “

Harvey : “ *radio* It’s alright. FOXTROT 01 Out. “

As soon as Harvey hangs off with Colonel Hopkins, Harvey contacts H.Q.’s General Aviation.

Harvey : " *radio* Erh. General Aviation, FOXTROT 01 here. Five by five? "

[ H.Q. ] [ General Aviation ] [ Nexon 3-16 ] : “ *radio* Yes, sir! Nexon 3-16. Five by five. What can I help you with, sir? “

Harvey : " *radio* I'm just wondering how many hangars or airfield park lots are available or not in use right now. I'm planning to spawn another chopper at the helipad. "

[ H.Q. ] [ General Aviation ] [ Nexon 3-16 ] : " *radio* Understood, sir. Just a moment, sir...... "

... ... ... ...

[ H.Q. ] [ General Aviation ] [ Nexon 3-16 ] : " *radio* Sir, the base currently has 10 Hangars, with 2 are currently ongoing, and 8 of them are being used by the 2 Harriers, 2 Chinooks, 3 Apaches - with the last one originally intended for the fourth Apache, but since VIPER 1 had been deployed to Arkson Base for immediate aerial support, their hangar is currently being used by the MQ-9 Reaper. "

Harvey : " *radio* I see. What about airfield park lots? I don't see any planes or helicopters that are parked outside. "

[ H.Q. ] [ General Aviation ] [ Nexon 3-16 ] : " *radio* Yes sir. You can use some of those spaces for the meantime. "

Harvey : " *radio* Sweet. Thanks for the help, Nexon 3-16. "

[ H.Q. ] [ General Aviations ] [ Nexon 3-16 ] : " *radio* You’re welcome, sir. "

Harvey then hangs off and proceeds to spawn a helicopter for his transport into Arkson Base.

He selects a multi-purpose MH-60A Blackhawk ( UH-60 SF modified ) with fuel pods and rockets attached to its fixed plane wings.

 

*beeeeeeeeep*

“Vehicle.Spawn.Function...”

“DETECTED”

“Spawning.Vehicle.”

“Please.Stand.By…”

 

A big magic circle appears at the helipad and it spawns the Blackhawk helicopter in full tanks and four crews.

Harvey : " Nice. "

Harvey designates the Blackhawk:

“THUNDER 1”

Harvey picks up a water spray from his inventory and starts spraying the helicopter to celebrate its maiden flight.

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ THUNDER 1, reporting. /*

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ Thank you for spawning us, sir! /*

After spraying the helicopter, Harvey tosses out the empty water spray and heads inside the Blackhawk.

A crew chief also hands Harvey his comms device.

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : */ Here is your comms set, sir. /*

Harvey puts the comms device on and sits at the middle chair inside.

Harvey : " *comms* Thanks, lads. Come on! Let's head to Arkson Base! "

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Copy that boss. /*

The Blackhawk then starts to prep.

[ THUNDER 1 Co-Pilot ] : */ Oi. Check in to the tower. /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Aye. H.Q. Tower, this is newly spawned and designated - THUNDER 1. Requesting add callsign from the main aviation lists. /*

[ H.Q. ] [ Flight Controller ] [ Nexon 3-5 ] : “ *radio* THUNDER 1, H.Q. Tower. Adding callsign "THUNDER 1" at 2116 hrs.. Erh, you guys might wanna park that bird by the field space cause the hangars are already full."

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ H.Q. Tower, copy that. But we're gonna transport Sir Harvey into Arkson Base right now. So, uhmm, permission to takeoff? /*

[ H.Q. ] [ Flight Controller ] [ Nexon 3-5 ] : “ *radio* THUNDER 1, Erh, go ahead. You are clear for takeoff, Helipad 2, CLIMB MAINTAIN 3000 INITIALLY EXPECT FL150 1-0 MIN AFTER DEPARTURE. Have a nice maiden flight."

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ H.Q. CLIMB MAINTAIN 3000 INITIALLY EXPECT FL150 1-0 MIN AFTER DEPARTURE. THUNDER 1. /*

[ THUNDER 1 Pilot ] : */ Up we go now. /*

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 1 ] : */ Sir, you good? /*

[ THUNDER 1 Crew Chief 2 ] : */ We can adjust the seats if you are uncomfortable with it, sir. /*

Harvey : “ *comms* No need, no need! I’m fine. *thumbs up* “

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Blackhawk then proceeds to fly towards Arkson Base in the darkness of the night.
