What we do for the Red and White
Bryan Whittaker is a career military man from a line of career military men and if uniforms were the sign of good breeding Lt. Whittaker would be a goddamn Westminster Classic show dog. He stands at perfect attention awaiting his superior's orders. Supposedly, he's been ordered in her for a very special new assignment. If it's like any of the last few "special assignments" he's received from friends of his father this is going to be yet another bug hunt of some kind.

"At the present time, Lieutenant, that program consists of a bunch of superhuman teenagers muddling about as best they can with no particular training to speak of, much less a passing resemblance to military personnel. Considering the program's reputation for casualties in far better circumstances, it seems incumbent upon the government to put some effort toward fixing that."

The genera slightly moves a file of papers. "You're to report to the listed location and ... take command of the children in question. The usual standard is that the job comes with some specialized equipment, namely the Vindicator suit. I'm sure it won't be too difficult to figure out. You're to generally attempt to decrease their chances of getting themselves killed or causing an actual or diplomatic disaster during your time with them." There's the slightest of odd inflections on that last part, perhaps even more pleased with himself than the significant-pause-'take command' before.

	He frowns a little. "I was unaware they were a military force, sir. Will I still be reporting to the army?" Either way, the answer won't be something he wants to hear. He's counting on it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Basically. You're being seconded to Department H, but of course the term for which you're being lent out is only temporary." Beat. "Just indefinite. We'll keep in touch and let them know when we need you back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course I am - and of course Dad will. It's a fleeting thought. Duty comes first no matter what they think of him. "When will I assume possession of the suit, sir?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Predictably, the general drops the papers just as he reaches out for them. Bryan makes sure to crouch rather then bend over and retrieve them. Once the papers are collected, he waits to be dismissed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He'll take his time before, "All right. Again, we'll keep in touch. Dismissed." (Reply to this)(Parent)
