"-and who are they?
-It is a team of rangers, elite operators of the republic
-I thought he was an infantryman, you always mentioned it
-Of course I was, and for a longer time, but they "recommended" me to enroll in this unit, whether or not I was voluntary
-And how did that happen? Why did they recruit you?
-It happened after the battle of the capital. The casualties on the entire front had been catastrophic by then, not only for the army, but also for the special units. Due to the nature of the operations of the rangers, their casualties reached 85%, so they needed urgent personnel... after the battle I was on medical rest for 2 weeks, although I already felt fine after a few days, I suppose they wanted examine my physical condition 100% in order to evaluate my possible performance
-So you went from one battle to another almost immediately?
-Of course not, in the second week of the rest some government agents came to visit me, they knew what I had done in the capital and how to take advantage of it...they tried to convince me by good means and in the end I had to accept, there wasn't much more to do, the war was going to last much longer and i had little to lose.
-so you trained for a while
-"for a while" sounds like a lot, in peacetime it could last almost a year, but it didn't take more than 2 weeks to deploy...they urgently needed cannon fodder that used the armor and equipment already prepared.
-"Cannon fodder"...because it seems rather expensive cannon fodder
-It's just a saying, although we weren't very far from it
-Wow… but I want to know more about them, they seem like people I'd like to meet.
-I do not think it could be
-What can you tell me about them?
-No, knowing them, it's quite obvious, isn't it?
-Stop nonsense, tell me
-Well, those 8 soldiers are part of the Shock Mess Squad, a squad that was part of the 42 Support Regiment, in charge of supporting infiltration forces and supplanting them in extreme cases.
-You still haven't told me who they are.
-Sorry, but I think it was important, let's continue
-Don't worry
-This squad was divided into 2 teams, one for close combat and assault, and another was in charge of providing cover, Alpha and Charlie to summarize. The 4 on the right side are the Alpha team, in which I was a part and with which I almost always went on missions. The leader of the entire squad, and of course, of our team, was Lieutenant Masi, a veteran ranger, one of the few survivors of the regiment and the only one on the team, she was quite serious, as you can see here, but after a few missions started being sarcastic. Our machine gun operator was Sergeant Guevara, a nice man despite his rude appearance, he had already retired from the army more than a decade before the war and but he re-enlisted to defend the republic, being a survivor of the battle from Portland was reason enough to be selected…98% loss to the republic in that battle…and finally someone familiar
-Familiar? Well, that boy seems pretty trusting between you guys.
-Yes, he is Corporal Ostlie, a young man who was part of the first class assigned to me during my university internships...I was very surprised, but even more so because of his excellent academic profile that I noticed when I was his professor, any university was within his reach but he decided on the army... and well, he was in the middle of the Ranger selection process when the war broke out, so he had some experience, and we exchanged the roles that we had had 8 years before, he became my guide during the short training and helped me acclimatize to the new form of service…"
