You are in the United States Marine Corp. The front lines of the American Army.

You are stationed in Fallujah, Iraq, awaiting your next order. Your fellow troops had been scattered around the base for the past few days until now as orders were about to be given. You move towards the seating area and grab a spot next to your fellow soldiers.

You sit next to PFC Gardner, one of the new kids in the troop, but still a good soldier. On the other side is Private Kelly, who has been with the 1st Marine Division since the beginning. Thompson, Agar, Rogers and Feldman were also nearby.

The Major, Major Stevens, had been pacing back and forth for the past hour, unnerved about something, "major". He finally stopped pacing though and grabbed a microphone from the stand and flicked it on.

"Soldiers, listen up and listen carefully. Although not all of you are here, we have a task of 40 men and women here. In the city we have 3 men and 1 woman trapped in an abandoned store. Their Hummer was ambushed and they barely escaped. Radio communication says they have only one M-16, a half-working radio and 2 of the men and the woman were injured in the scuffle."

He wiped his brow and took a drag of the cigarette he was holding and continued, "The reason they're not moving is because there are about 70 Iraqi's running around outside and in the nearby buildings with guns and RPG's. One of the men who is injured was shot by one of the Iraqi's. It's nearing nightfall and as this sun sets, we need to get in there and get our soldier's out. Agreed?"

You join in as the entire crowd yells, "Hooah!"

The Major finishes up with, "Get your gear and immediately head to Transport Station A and prepare to load up."
