[Sleepy Retard]

A woman walks to the front of a bunch of seated officers, squad leaders, and even the XO and CO. She pulls out a sample file and clears her throat

Right. As you know, we're going to be deploying a small team of marines planetside and...She clears her throat, sighing...I'll be leading said team. So, we're going to need the best of the best, which is why I've come here today. I want each of you to pick a marine for this mission. Right now, we're going to need:

[ONE COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST] These guy will be bringing the radiopacks, because that will be the only thing strong enough to communicate with each other due to some sciency bullshit that I don't know.
- Jon 'Houndslayer' Svarlson
[FOUR COMBAT MEDICS] I'm not going to lie, this won't be a pretty mission. We're gonna need all the lifesavers we can get. Won't be much room for wounds getting out of hand. Assuming all goes well, they'll just be normal marines.
- Kathleen Redd
- Tomas Svensson
- Kyomi Sin'vah
- Cliff "Chubs" Campbell
[ONE BREACHER] This'll be the man, or woman, equipped with probably...a sledgehammer, or something with a shotgun. Plenty of C4, too. They'll be a pointsmen as well.
- Malcolm H. Allister
[ONE "SPECIALIST"] While they think they'll be taking their usual fancy equipment, to be honest they won't. I'll see about getting them perhaps a marksman rifle, but they'll be the backup lead.
- Malcolm Holmes
[TWO (BATTLE)RIFLE MEN] Pretty much just standards, they'll be taking battle rifles. Hopefully they won't have to use those guns.
- Lochlann Healy
- Ryan "Firebug" Steelberg
- Murdoch Machowicz
[THAT ONE GUY WITH A MACHETE] Someone really suicidal. Gonna need cannon fodder, for sure.
- John "Spartan" Murry

So. I'm gonna need each of you to hand in...an application of sorts, nothing too complicated. I'll put down my sample one, just to give you an idea what's expected of you:

Now...this might seem...as if this is a suicide mission. I assure you it isn't, this is...merely a precaution. I want to be ready for everything, including losses if that happens. Assuming all goes well, we'll be back in no time. Assuming it goes wrong, well, that'll be a PR problem for High Command. I'll leave you ladies and gentlemen sometime to fill out the needed form, get back to me ASAP. This is an important mission, and we might even launch it if we don't have enough men.

With one last heavy sigh, the woman leaves the room - full of dread

OOC stuff:

So. This'll be a multi chapter story sorta thing. Just as a disclaimer, your character probably will die. It isn't a heroic war story, and no character will come out looking like a hero. With that out of the way, please make sure to include as much detail as possible if I don't know your character 100%, it just makes it easier for me to write about it. I'll try to write as frequently as possible, and the chapters should be a couple paragraphs minimum, not a long read but not exactly short either. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below.
