You and Simon both take a step back as to lessen the volume of the man standing in front of you while the other man lying on the couch is startled awake by the booming voice and falls onto the floor. “I am Solomon the Captain of the Vanquarish branch, I assume you are you new recruits?”. “That we are” Simon says proudly. The man on the floor finally gets up and introduces himself as Sergeant Michael Moores which is a name you recognize from the academy. “Are you by chance the Michael Moores that solved the Quash Massacre from 10 year ago?” you ask in a disapproving tone. “Yeah that’s me” he responds groggily. “The man the myth the legend, looks like false advertising to me” Simon states is a slightly mischievous tone. Michael goes to say something, but the Captain raises his hand ordering silence so that he can finally speak again. “Either way, welcome to the team you two. I’ll show you to your rooms so that you can chuck your bags in there before give you a full tour of the station”. “Once we have done that we will take you out to meet some of the locals who act as informants so that you can begin to get used to working on your own, of because that won’t happen straight away but it’s always good to get started early”.

The Captain turns and heads of down the corridor signaling for both you and Simon to follow him. As you turn down a hallway you notice six rooms, three either side. You notice that the two back rooms are occupied, the back left being the Captains and the back right being the Sergeants. The Captain points towards the rooms on either side, “pick whichever of the four you would like, there all the same so it doesn’t really matter” says the Captain as he turns and starts heading the other way. “Meet me back in the breakroom in 10 minutes and I’ll show you around” he shouts from the bottom of the hallway before turning back around the corner.

You walk into the closest room to you claiming it as your own and placing your bags onto the bed. You look around the room taking note of the furniture. A single bed pushed against the wall with a old trunk sitting on the floor at the foot of the bed. A small table with a single draw sits at the side of the bed with a small lamp sitting to the right of it. A small closet sits on the opposite wall next to the door sealed by a piece of rope wrapped around the handles to stop the doors from swinging open. Next to the closet is a small gun rusty red gun rack bolted to the floor and wall. The rack has 3 spots for small arms and 5 slots for larger weapons. You wander to yourself what the reason is for having a gun rack in the bedroom, the thought that it might not be safe even inside the station crosses your mind, but you dismiss it as you don’t have long to unpack your things before the tour of the station.

As you arrive in the break room you notice that Simon is already there talking with the Captain. As the Captain sees you approaching he cuts off is conversation with Simon and announces the beginning of the tour “Welcome new recruits to the grand tour of the Vanquarish Galian Intergalactic Police Station, lets starts at the entrance shall we”. We walk to the entrance of the station glancing side to side as papers pinned on the walls. “Alrighty” booms the Captain, “first we have the service desk to the back right of the room”. “Recently it hasn’t been manned all that much due to not having enough of us here, which is where you two come in.” “You will both rotate through service desk duty along with Michael so that we can have it manned 24/7 while also having officers ready for action”. “We have chairs for people waiting, not that there ever are mind you, and we have the wanted post board to the left of the chairs as well so that all those people waiting can have something to read”. “Any Questions?” the Captain asks, we both shake our heads to signal that we don’t. “Alrighty then time to move onto the communications room as well as the armory”.

“The first door on the left is for the communications and the room on the right is the armory”. “Now I assume you both know how to handle the coms as since you were both ranked highly in the academy Miss rank two and Mister rank six”. “Last week we got our weapons replace so go and choose a pistol”. “Any pistol” responds Simon, “Yep, just take whichever you like as everything in this room is unassigned as we all keep our own weapons in the racks in our room when off duty”. You select a shiny new pistol sitting second across in the rack, a Regal Mk IV laser pistol the latest issue pistol for the Intergalactic police. You look to confirm that the pistol is loaded before placing it into the holster on your right hip. “Now that you have a pistol select two heavier weapons and another pistol as back up, you can take them back over to your rooms before I show you the rest of the station” says the Captain as he walks out back towards the break room. You scour the shelf looking for another pistol that takes your fancy, you notice a Glouk 60 Mk II laser pistol, the previous standard issue weapon sitting on another shelf and decide to claim it as your second pistol. You look over to the other gun rack holding heavier weaponry. You instantly see two weapons that you are familiar with, the first being a Winchinster plucker Mk III, a single bolt laser rifle which has extreme precision from long distances, a truly great sniper. You decide this will be one of the two heavy weapons that you will use. The second is a M1440 Automatic laser rifle, a high-power laser rifle used most commonly by the Galian traitors of The Red Dragon Empire which took independence two years ago on Raak VI causing chaos with in the core systems. The weapon they arm their forces with is many times better than that of the Galian infantry which is why you decide to select this rifle as your second heavy weapon. You carry the three guns back to your room and place them in the rack before once again heading back into the break room to rejoin the tour.

“Alrighty now that everyone is back its time to show you the rest of the station” the Captains exclaims once again in an extremely loud voice. The captain shows you the bathrooms, toilets, evidence locker and garage before leading you into the final room. As you enter the large room you notice that there are pictures of over 100 officers mounted on the walls with guns placed underneath them. The names of the officers are engraved on the guns serving as a name plate for the faces. “Let’s hope that neither of your faces end up on this wall” the Captain says looking in a soft hurt tone, as he glances at his shoes. The Captain leads bother Simon and you back to the break room where the Sergeant is waiting. “Alrighty you two, it’s time for your first patrol”.
