Location: Main Holodeck, Starbase 332
- Advanced Tactical training Centre 0700 –
It had been a day since she had the Marines allowed a day off, now as she woke she laid in bed thinking on her next tasks.
“Oh well break time over” She said and got up, got herself some breakfast and a mug of tea, she sat at her desk as she read her mail, most of it was from her parents.
Finishing off her breakfast and putting the plates in the reclamator she jumped into the shower, unlike on a Starship, this shower was real water not sonic, she spent at least half an hour in the shower and fifteen minutes cleaning teeth and such. Now in her regulation Starfleet undergarments she activated her Communications Panel.
“Major Griffiths to Captain Smith”
Smith here Major.
“Break time is over Captain get the troops lined up its time announce the combat training for today,” she said.
Understood Major it will be done
“Acknowledged Captain, Griffiths out,” she responded and closed the link and finished getting dressed, all Marines wore training fatigues in training the only Starfleet orientated items they had were their commbadges and issue underwear.
- 0830 hours -
Naomi put on some olive drabs and combat boots, a green undershirt, much like the Starfleet Marine uniform one, then a light olive drab jacket that showed her rank, name tag. Fixing her commbadge to her top she proceeded to put her hair up in a ponytail. When ready she grabbed a PADD with the latest exercise on and left her quarters.
- 0900 hours -
"Squad ATTEN.... TION!"
Naomi arrived at the Parade area and saw all the Marines in formation; smiling to herself she stood in front of the unit.
“Detachment stand easy” She said and all Marines returned to parade rest.
Looking them over.
“Private Terak report to Lieutenant Colonel Wesson, you will solely train to be the Detachments professional sniper, dismissed Private” She said and the Romulan Private nodded and left.
Naomi had still not gotten used to a Romulan Starfleet Marine, but times had changed. Now looking at her PADD and calling up the next item.
“Okay today we are going to be doing a combat exercise; you will be split up in to two groups of 61. Marine Captain Smith will lead Unit two I will lead unit one. The basic of this practice exercise is to see how good we work as a team. Captain Smith you will take 61 Marines report to holodeck 2. I have updated some Marine training programs. It will be you and your team against a bunch of Holographic troops replicas of Vaishaa’s people. The mission is this, your team Captain will insert itself into a building where you will neutralize all opponents, then rescue the VIPs they have there. You have two hours to get your combat insertion kit ready, Then I will be with you to give you an actual mission briefing. When that is done, I and my team will remain in this Holodeck and do the same mission. At the end of this exercise I will be giving you some news for the next exercise” She said.
Then she looked at Smith.
“Captain, choose 61 Marines, remember two must be combat medics and go and prepare” She said.
"Yes Major" Smith said and got to work.
“Good, you are dismissed Captain when you have chosen your team” Naomi added as she watched Smith choose his team.
When chosen he and his team left to get ready, now she turned to the remaining troops.
“Okay you guys are to do the same, you will have an extra hour to get ready, DIS… MISSED” She said and watched her team leave the field. With that she too went to get into the right gear, before giving her briefing to team two.
- 1000 hours – Planning Room 1 -
Marine Captain Smith and his men were waiting for her to arrive, when he saw Naomi he gave an order.
"ROOM ATTEN... TION" He shouted.
“At ease people” Griffiths said and stood at the table. “Now onto the mission briefing, even though it is a training session, this is to be treated as the real thing” She said.
“Good, now this is the building you will be entering” She began bringing up a holo of the building, and arrows appeared where she pointed. “Captain Smith half of your Squad will enter here back door, ground floor. The other half will enter from the roof. Now the enemy troops in the building are dissident Cardassian’s, they are Obsidian Order troops, so your task is to go in, and as quickly as possible extract the VIP on the third floor” She said.
“What of the hostiles?” A Marine asked.
“Expendable, Commands interest is only in extracting the VIP” She answered, looked to Smith. “Captain your mission brief padd will have all our latest intel on this building and occupants. Now the reality bit, while we are to treat this holodeck exercise as the real thing, the program is self adapting, as in it will throw challenges and curve ball actions against you, the holo safeties have been lowered to Stun, so they can and will fire back, the enemy have been give the firing abilities of all past Expert Marksmen Marines. So be warned, Captain Smith”
"Here I was thinking it was going to be easy" Smith said jokingly.
“Move your men out, your mission starts in ten minutes, good luck” She said and watched Smith leave. “now back to my group” She said to herself and then left the room.
Griffiths arrived in the adjacent holodeck a moment later and pulled here troops to the map table, activating the three-dimensional hologram.
“You see this building; well it is the one that we will be attacking. Now we will split into two teams, thirty men to each team” She looks at another officer. “Lieutenant Allen you will take 30 men and go in from the bottom, remember to take out the ground sentries too. My team will go in via the roof” She said as two coloured blips appeared and moved in the manner she was speaking of.
