The day of the second selection process is here, I already see the brat that high is talking about it is really hard to miss him as he sticks out like a sore thumb. now remember when I said we had two units full so 10 men yeah we had a selection process before this one and I didn't go into depth of what we had done.

So what me and Kimber done is that we had uniforms for the team be produced that were different to normal uniform but still easy to know we are apart of the military. what we had was a hood the covered most but not all of our face then we had a mask built, weaved, I don't know how they do this but they had built in a mask that change's from rank to rank on who is wearing it, very simple, it has the insignia of the team on one side of it and the other side has the Flag/Insignia for Last Light. in the middle is nothing but a skull can be spotted near the team insignia depending on how the skull looks the higher or lower your rank is, mine is almost looks like the Insignia but no glowing eyes, Kimber's who is a rank below me has the hood but no scythe. that is simple as it is going to get.

now that we got that sorted the rookies look at us like we are clowns here to preform to them, but little did they know we are going to make them walk down to the bottom layers hell, well that is tame to what we are going to do latter in operations into the lost sector's, when we go into the lost sectors we are creating new layers of hell.

"listen up, rookies we are a team that wont allow weaklings in the team we want the toughest of the tough no in between or anything lower than the best that you can give" Kimber yelled to get the attention of them "This is our UTC, he will explain what we are going to be doing today" Kimber nods at me to give what parts are important and some parts not to say to see who notice's the missing information and can piece together to have a rough understanding.

I step forward to procced we the selection process.

Step 1: The understanding of intelligence

Why: the reason why is that in case we have have men down we have to not give bits of info to our enemy to find out our operation.

How: we will share what we are doing but leave out some bits of important info have it come to light in vague terms and have them work it out from there.

Information was told them with vague idea of what they expect I have noticed a few of these men form groups on what they have heard and currently understand "this is a lot smoother than last time we did this, don't you think?" I look over at Kimber as he does not looked concerned about how things are going for new recruits, he is worried about the Leaker "how is he doing, you think he will pass" I change the question to the brat who is know as Ben Otters.

he looks at me with a expression I think is good "he was having troubles with the first process now that the second process has begun he is not going to pass any time soon I am just worried our selection process will get leaked, I know it will and he is going to make me do more work" I agree with you on this process Kimber.

Step 2: Innerworkings of trust

Why: This is to see if the men that will form Units will share info that they have decrypted from Step 1, these units if they have formed a trust with each other now will have better performance in combat as trust is key to success.

How: they will form units to see if trust can be formed in the units these units will go though all other activity's together, if they have formed a trust that can continue after the Selection process they will be allowed into the team and continue together as a unit.

as this Ben sits there wondering what's going on, people form Units to get ready for the next step. 'oh no sorry looks like you have no unit to join if there is no unit to join then you can not proceed' I want to say that so that we don't have to deal with him. I have only heard/read little bits of Information about him from high command and that's it all my knowledge.

soon he is in with a unit that looks promising to pass, no we don't pass units we pass the individual and if all the people in the unit the individual was in pass as well, he and the people he was working with in the selection Process will form a unit in the team as if we put the individual with other's he works well with the performance of the unit will be better, or that is what me and Kimber think.

there are no more little secret selective agents involved from this point on just how the individual does in completing the Selection, what we saw of ben was something to behold if teams like us have secrets that someone like ben wants to join to force to light and he passes then something is wrong.

17764- Pass

17765- Unknow: Not enough info

17766- Fail: does not meet with military grade fitness and behavior

17767- Pass

17768- Fail: Failed step 1

17769- Unknow: not enough info

17770 (Ben Otter's)- Fail: look at expectations for both Step 1 and 2 and does not met military grade Fitness and behavior

all me and Kimber saw of ben was him letting other's in his team finish so he can do it the 'proper way' and made the other's watch as he struggled to do it. after about 4-5 courses the first day ended or that what most thought here is where Step 1 come into play if each unit has someone who understood what I meant at the start they would be telling there unit right now or already have, as they would be attack by me and Kimber while they to get some shut eye.

we waited for most units to be out cold then we made our attack, we used the real design of the guns we will use, new gun as well, it seems father command want's to spoil us. all me and Kimber heard was the loud noises of the guns loaded with dummies all they heard and saw most likely was the roar of a something they have not heard of and the flashes of gun's shooting, in the sort time we there and shot some dummies all of the units were active and getting to cover. after that we let them sleep some and did it again and let it repeat.

after last night they had reached the half way point of the selection process, me and Kimber were surprised at how many would pass the Selection this was gonna cause some paper work to be done, fun. ~90 out the 200 have passed the selection they just needed to get through the rest of the courses and they be passed.

we smashed through all the rest of the courses to the end "well done on getting this far and passing our fitness section of the selection at the end of today you will a get a letter to you from us to you if you allowed in to the team may we wish the best of luck to you all" and it finished, now it was time for me and Kimber to do the most fun thing in the world, reports and paperwork.

it was at the end of the day Ben just got home to wait for the response of allowance to join the team, then he can start to find out what they are hiding he got paid really good money to that.

"sir you are back welcome home" said the butler of Ben, ben's butler was a nice man that just served under a man that does not care about him "yes I am home, now I just need to wait for the letter to come and be allowed to serve in the team" he said to the butler kneeling on the floor "well mark, get me fresh clothes none of this rotten stuff for the poor"

mark does so, he leaves the main entrance for Ben to be alone while he finds new clothes for the master, then Ben hears a knock on the door.

the next day after all of the people who preformed well enough to join the team got in but I also got a summons by lower command, old command, normal command so not high command so I should not care for what they have to say but I might as well appear to talk to them because why not.

as I head to the main office I see people gather in front of the entrance to ask question, easy way to say it Journalist's that is all I need to say. I ask to get through before I decide to use my rank to get through to the meeting I have. they let me through with no questions asked so there not here for me, good that's still under raps.

then I notice why there here I see Ben and his father I would presume as they look alike so I am going with Ben's dad. I enter and have no problems find the room I have a meeting in I don't put my hood on but I have my mask on to display my rank and team I am in command of, I usually don't wear my hood Just because I have seen no reason to wear it now, outside I don't have my hood or mask on as my unit is secret to the public at the moment, I enter the room I have my meeting in.

"UTC, Thorn thank you for coming to our proposal of a meeting" one of the men say as Ben and his father enter, ah this is about why I rejected him oh god thing are going to get heated "great everyone is here, we may begin our meeting on the implementation of Ben Otters in to Team Code: 5165" as he finished I just stood there I know I was meant to speak right now but I am not going to unless high tell me to and no I will not have in our team at all cost's as high gave a command I have to follow "UTC, Thorn may we ask why you decide to fail Ben otters in the Selection to join your team" I sit there quietly don't need to answer that "UTC, Thorn Speak or Demoted down to Pvt do you hear me!!" I stand not afraid of him as he can do nothing as i am no longer serve under them.

a man walks in that I recognize "UTC, Thorn you can speak and these men wont interrupt you on my watch ok" he looks at me knowing what's going to happen "Sir if I may, Team: 5165 is a force that reports to high command and not command the reason why I and SUTC, Kimber have failed Ben otters was that he did not reach physical standards of the military and classified reason's as well that only one person in this room has authorization to know that information" all of normal command look at me with looks of I don't what, shock maybe.

"Do you not know who I am peasant I am part of the Otter family which is one of the most powerful family's in last light so I think I have rank to know something like what you are hiding" Ben salty says as I can see he is pissed "I am sorry for not knowing that Pvt, Otters but as you stand in the military you don't have clearance to know this" his look got even more pissed after I said that.

"now may I leave I need to train my team so that we can be given orders, High Combat Commander, Jackson" everyone in the room than transitions there eyes from me to him, To be honest I don't know how high up he is but after the look's I saw people give him I'd say high up "UTC, Thorn you may leave I have sent a letter with orders only you and SUTC, Kimber can see" he nods for me to leave and that was that.

And now I have new orders, fun what's the worst that can happen.
