Emma: Okay, let's go.
*Alt. Reality. Tara A looks around.*
Tara A: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
*She keeps looking for any hints this is Laura's reality.*
*There is no evidence here that this belongs to any reality other than the one she came from. But there is something odd... The people seem unable to notice her they all move about uniformly like drones.*

*When they get there, Emma rings the doorchime.*
Tara *over comm*: Who is it?
Emma: It's Emma and Tara.
Tara *over comm*: Er... you'll have to come back later!
Emma: Why?
Tara *over comm*: I'm busy with... things...
Emma *suspicious*: What kind of 'things'?
Tara *over comm*: Time consuming things!
Emma: Tara, open the door.
Tara *over comm*: I can't! It's jammed!
Emma: Liar.
*They hear murmuring over the comm.
Alt. Reality. Tara A tries scanning some of them.*
*There's nothing no personal thoughts on any of them. As far as her scan can tell they aren't thinking atall yet they are moving and doing things.*
*Emma puts her hand on the control panel, causing a circuitboard-pattern to glow through before the door opens. They step in to find Tara hastily pulling on a pair of short shorts.*
Tara: I said I was busy!
Emma: We heard you.
*Alt. Reality. Tara A starts scanning for telepathic control, which makes her easy for other telepaths to find.*
*That morning the cadets are lined up, the mercenaries from one of Big Boss' companies Gutted Wolf, are lined up sharply dressed.. Big Boss advances out to the cadets. However Kinjal is in front of him.*
Kinjal: Cadets.. We are going to train you for the next year.. at the behest of your superiors. You will be learning from Big Boss himself.. You will address him as Boss..
Boss..
*Big Boss pats her on the shoulder with no arm..*
Big Boss: I am sure the Republic has taught you much, many techniques and knowledge.. The battlefield is an unforgiving place. To play into the cliche a hell. I will run you, beat you, teach you, to survive that battlefield. I do this to protect you and help you survive.. I will fail at that.
Now before we begin.. I want to see where you are at.. I need only one volunteer.. or if your brave enough try three..
*He looks at them.. hardened.. the one eye ever studying.*
Come on.. I am not that old.. Has to be a cocky kid around here..
*Coulson is above watching.. He heard much about Big Boss but wanted to see for himself. *
Coulson has now made his way to the ground level standing towards the back where he can easily see Big Boss and also see all the cadets. He turns as he notices someone by him.
Coulson: so you made a decision.
Burns: yeah. I'll help you.
Coulson: good. I could use you on my next mission. But first we are going to watch this. Should be interesting. Who do you think will challenge him?
Burns: not going to say but I have a few in mind.
Coulson: here may will pick you up in a shuttle here on the landing area. I'll be there shortly after I'm done here.

Simmons: I still don't know what we are supposed to be looking for. Coulson gives is these readings to scan for and doesn't tell us what it is? It's not like him at all.
Zack: well then it must be important. He is probably trying to keep us safe then in case something was to happen.
Simmons: like what. This carrier is one of the most secured locations now in the galaxy. Besides the agents and tactical teams it has state of the art systems. No one would know it's here unless they knew what signal to look for.
Zack: still we aren't really on the galaxies good list right now. You know that as well as I do.
Simmoms: I suppose your right. I wonder when Coulson and may will get back.

Big Boss: The first mistake is not to look at an enemy with doe eyes.. the next is not being ready..

No shame in getting knocked out. Just keep in mind to keep you wits about you better. *His voice quiet..*
