The meet

"I heard there's a new pussy coming today" said the barkeeper, as he finishes his last chores to clean up the glasses of the day.

Drinking his drink, P follows. "Yeah, should be the last of the commandos intake."

"The last of the team?"
"Should be. There ain't many of us left."
"Then won't be that a problem?"
"With the Commando's team in rest than 50 people? Perhaps."
Finishing the last drop of his drink, P slowly moves turns his view towards the new girl that just entered the pub.

"Looks like a kawaii girl"
"Don't use languages that I don't know."
"Haha, I thought that you understand that."
"Cute girls ain't suitable for this job."
"But females do have the tendency for finishing tough jobs with higher ratings."
"Because they're careful enough..."
"Unlike someone that likes to just rush to the field and kill everything there..."

No answer from P.

"Hah? What's with the look, little pussy? Can't stand with the smoke? Go back home and cry to your mama. Hahaha..." Baret pump out another breath of tobacco smoke towards Sam.

Baret, one of the elite Commandos that join in the early days. Make it to the top 10 in the team. The team leader of Eliminator team, which specialist in eliminating everything in the field. The team are normally called for one and only cause, to destroy everything. As the team leader, Baret is famous for one thing, aggresive.

Looks like the trouble to get information on Commandos does has it's uses now. Sam thought. She take some time just to get the correct contacter from the underworld, just in order to get some information of the existing Commando's team. The price is high, but it's worth it. After all, Commando's team is a secret team.

But all doesn't mean much then. Sam can take them all.

"Ooi ooi, don't make this place a bloodshed. I had a hard time keeping everything up and tidy!" Shout the barkeeper.

"Don't worry. It'll end up fast enough"
"Rap up the little pussy, Baret"
"Let us has a nice show, Baret"
Shouts from all over the bar. Looks like these peoples really wanna have a show.

The Pub

The air is dense with smoke, foggy for Sam to look through the room in detail. The cabin isn't the right place for the right job. One can see clearly that the metallic room itself was brutally enhanced with pipes and pipes of unknown uses, and water drippings everywhere on the floor. The air ventilation unit is almost non-functional, as Sam can barely see the fan moving, probably moved by the density of the smoke itself in the room.

The aura is unpleasant. She can sense that everybody's eyes is watching at her, some with the questionable view, while some with the eye of an eagle, watching the movement of its prey. No matter how their view, it's unpleasant.

Sam feels like she's a small prey, waiting to be catched and eaten.

"So, you're the new little Missy that joins in ah~?"
Sam looks towards the man that approaches her. The man is huge, significant taller and broader than any other man she browse through in the pub, or any other man that she ever known. One can see bruises all over his body, for he's wearing only a thin singlet that barely covers his body fully. Sam couldn't stop studying the big man's right hand, apparently is an artificial metal hand which is slightly larger in probationer than his left's. The hand, or barely of what left of it, is full with patches and patches of unknown works. Sam knows not much of mechanical stuff, but she clearly knows that, this hand is dangerous.

"The name is Sam. Is this the Commando's quarters?" Sam spoke, loudly, eye scanning everyone she can possible scan, in case of emergency.

"Ah haha, little Sammy is it. Such a tiny little girl, wants to be a Commando. Little gal should go home and make pretty clothes for us to wear." The big man's tease.

Teasing me again, and you gonna have it. Sam though. Looks like it's gonna be a though day today.

Entering Commando

Sam walks herself bravely, down towards the long unknown corridors. "I won't be a stranger here anymore." Sam murmured to herself. After all the long years she was finally here. It was a long and tough journey, starting from the academy's hard training, till recognize and proposed to join in the Commando's team. The route is tough, but she was finally joyed, for she had finally fulfilled her father wish.

"Join the commando. Open your heart, see the world with your own eyes. Don't let the death be your only concern. Go with the last of the kenjutsu. Be proud, my love."

Those were the last words of her father.
