Iblic stood from his desk leaving his journal open. His gaze lingered on it for a moment before turning away to ready himself. He still wasn’t quite sure about the journal, or what to even write in it, but it was important. Iblic had read a small portion of the journals that Viktor had left behind. There was good advice in there sometimes, and he had perhaps learned some small things from Viktors dictated experiences. Other Times, it seemed that Viktor was just as lost as he felt at the moment. Lives were on the line and this time he was responsible for them in a different way. Everyone is responsible for the squads life out in the field, but only one person makes the decisions. Still, he was experienced enough in combat to make the call when it came to it.
Iblic looked over the files for his squad members again. Lin was to be his second in command, that he already knew. He had spoken with her a few times since Viktor’s passing. They weren’t close from time spent in the squad, or at least he was no closer with her than any other person you regularly risked your life with. She would have been his guess at next squad leader, but they went with him instead. It was a surprising choice, but Lin seemed on board with it so maybe he did fit the bill.
Amber was an interesting choice to be put in the group and brough the number of people without powers up to two. Still, despite that her numbers looked good and he also thought he remembered Lin speaking well of her a few times. He believed he had seen her a few times around the headquarters, though that wasn’t saying much. There were only a few hundred people down here with us, and not many more if you included people associated with the I.S. without living down here. You were bound to run into most people eventually.
Peri was initially surprising, but that surprise no longer held. He had been working with her over the past few months to try and get her up to speed. On one hand, she learned quickly due to her ability, she could mimic any movement he showed her perfectly. He never had to correct her form in anything, from handling weapons, to tactical sign language. Problem was, she lacked experience. She knew the motions, but knowing the motions was only half the battle. Knowing what to do and when was far more important and it was something he was trying to solidify in her head before this happened. She was young, but determined, he just hoped she could keep up, both physically and mentally.
Jay was another new recruit, but his abilities showed promise. He would need to gain finer control over his abilities, only recently becoming aware of them. There was time before missions would begin rolling out to them, so there was time for him to be combat ready yet. He was certainly a unique case, if the brief history provided in his file was true.
There were others in those files, but checking the time caused him to stop poking through them one final time. It wasn’t long until he was supposed to meet with his squad officially for the first time. They should already be assembling there waiting for him. He began making his final preparations before setting off. He would be the last to arrive.
