(Ed Note: Since a lot of this story is in conversation form I separate the sentences whenever a new person talks. Should make it a lot easier to read. I also check spelling and see if theirs any grammar I can touch up.)
Jacob
Hey Max I am on my way to the conference has all the others we invited shown up already? Oh and what do you think about the Englands?
Max (Bound/Jacob)
All guests have arrived. I think they will be a very helpful to the future of S.G.M.C. We have started construction on the base as well.
Jacob
Oh okay, well that is good. What kind of security measures do you have planed for it?
Max (Bound/Jacob)
I have slotted for a more advanced and capable defense network then the one we are planning on using for the defense network around Earth. It has the orbital and ground based systems as well as "Kurdans".
Jacob
What is that?
Max (Bound/Jacob)
A "Kurdan" is like your drones but very advanced very stealthy and heavily armed.
Jacob
Hmm okay and are you the one going to be operating them, or do you think we should make a Military grade A.I. for them as well as the defense of the base?
Max (Bound/Jacob)
I think it would be best for a dedicated A.I. for base defense instead of me trying to do that as well as everything you want, and the things I like to do.
Jacob
Okay no problem then let’s do that. I am almost to the conference now so I will talk to you in a bit. Thanks for the update and information.
----------------------------------
-Narrative Jacob’s head
As I walked into the conference hall I look around most of the people we invited are disabled and brought their immediate family. Even if they decline my offer I will make sure they all get treatment, it is the least we can do for them. I wonder what they will think of the offer and me. Well I guess I should just get this started.
-Jacob’s Speech
Hello and thank you all for joining me today.
I can guess what most of you are thinking. He is so young how does he have an offer for us? Well just one minute while I secure this room from any and all surveillance and electronics I did not bring with me and we will have that conversation.

(Ed Note: Starting to add “” to speech now. It’s to hard to read without it.)
“Now thank you for waiting. My name is Jacob Strikewing. I am the founder of Strikewing Galactic Mercenary Company. Yes galactic, I thought putting that in the name was reaching a bit too much but I was persuaded into going with it. Anyway I was taken by the aliens not long after they showed up and I am talking about the guys that saved our bacon. Well some shit happened and now I am in possession of a lot of tech and I want to start a Merc Company. I will tell you the whole story so you know what happened and what my plans are and why I asked you all here now. So that is what is going on and what my plans are. Any of you that are interested to join me awesome if not ok, but as a thank you all of you will be offered free medical treatment. There is one person I would like to have a personal chat with Colonel McCune can I have a minute please.”
(Ed Note: When addressing military you go Rank then Last Name. You don’t use first.)
-Matthias McCune
If this kid is being truthful then he has a good foundation ready. I can see why he went for disabled vets as well. Smart of him. I guess I should have that talk with him.
“What can I do for you Jacob?”
Jacob
“Thanks for making the time Colonel. If you are interested in what I am starting I would like you to be the base commander not just for the training but the entire military base on the moon. We will be hiring someone with experience for the civilian portion but the majority is going to be the military. You will have to take the rank of Major General and you will be able to recruit your staff as well. The only requirements on that is they must pass our screening.”
Matthias McCune
“Why do you want me for this?”
Jacob
“Well you have the most experience and the right attitude for what i am planning. You can accept new idea and methods and you are pro tech most O-6 or above are not as flexible. We need that flexibility for our future. You have some experience with SF as well. Do you know former CPO Daniel "The Teacher" England?”

Matthias McCune
“Okay, I can see what you are getting at. Yes I knew the Chief what about him?”
Jacob
“He will be NCOIC of all training on the base.”
Matthias McCune
“You got The Teacher to join you already! How the fuck did you get that?”
Jacob
“I talked to him told him everything and said even if he declines he and his family will get free medical treatment. After that he was in he talked to his wife and daughter they were in. His wife will find a job with S.G.E. while him and his daughter will be S.G.M.C. I hope you don't have a problem with females with combat jobs because I do not and with this tech it will be no problem. Dan's only request for letting her join was he gets to train her to be a member of our SF I agreed.”
Matthias McCune
“No shit, I'll be damned! He is the most qualified seal instructor, so he will be an asset I would love to work with. Any others you want me to know about?”
Jacob
“Not at this time I do have my eye on a few SF trainers one from the Marine Corps, One from the Air Force, Three from the Army, and Two Australian SAS as well.”
Matthias McCune
“Well that will be interesting, are they only going to be training the SF or more then that?”
Jacob
“I want them to be the core of all our training there will be a more advanced portion of training for our SF but the majority of all training no matter what their jobs are going to be I want to have a solid foundation. They need to know how to survive and that's what we are going to train them on. I will also be going through all training including the SF portion so I am qualified in joining missions I don't want to be sitting on my ass twiddling my thumbs when I can go kick some ass.”
Matthias McCune
“What if I would like to go on missions as well?”
Jacob
“I have no problems with you being active just make sure you have a damn good and don't get your ass shot off. Then we won't have any problems sound good General?”
Matthias McCune
“General huh? I think I like the sound of that. What do you take me for, someone who can't keep his ass out of the air? Ha, no worries with that! I am in sir!”
Jacob
“Welcome aboard Major General McCune. It is going to be a crazy ride. I mean a very fun and enjoyable ride.” *Smirk*
Matthias McCune (Ed: He's a Major General now… skipped a bunch of ranks there
.)
“Oh, what the hell am I getting into?” *Laughing*
Jacob
“Well General I guess this show is now your’s. Here take this I know it just looks like a regular cell but its not. We designed it to look like that to not stand out. Max will be in contact with you. If you need anything don't be afraid to get ahold of him. okay.”
(Ed Note: Good job staying secretive. Got a military instructor, a ton of retired vets, a bunch of new technology… I really don’t know why you aren’t being raided with jets already… Huh it’s a story though so I will let it pass. )
Matthias McCune
“Not a problem. I will handle this mini circus and be in touch with all the details.”
Jacob
“Okay thanks, Talk to you later.”
(Final Ed Note: Trickiest your getting way better at this? You been learn
