At first the day started out like any other; shipbuilding on Marine Base B-4. Seaman Recruit Taavi Jones hard at work as always, yet trying to not put his fellow Marines to shame. After all, he had been a shipbuilder long than anyone else considering his background as a shipbuilder in his father's small business. Putting the rest of the Marines to shape wouldn't garner much anyway considering Taavi is already teased for working harder than everyone else in his brigade.
Anyway, the day started out as usual but then took a turn. For better or for worse was yet to be seen. Taavi was called up by his Lieutenant and ordered around. Same as usual, to be honest. However, the final order consisted of something out of the ordinary; brigade reassignment.
"Seaman Recruit Jones! You are to head over to meet your new brigade and its officer, Ensign Senshi Odayakama! Whether this is a temporary reassignment or not is up in the air at this point! Regardless, hop to it! Dismissed!"
Taavi didn't think twice about his given orders. Things like this do happen every now and again but not normally to shipbuilding brigades. Much more unusual was the inclusion of Taavi, a bit of a weakling, into this newly formed brigade of unknown purpose. If this new brigade involved more shipbuilding, why reassign Taavi at all? Regardless, Taavi just followed orders like a good little Marine and headed for the new brigade's meeting location.
Upon arrival, he noticed a few other stragglers coming in, forming a formation, and facing the newly docked ship. From what Taavi could tell from a glance, he deduced only the officer was missing. He's probably on the ship that just docked. Are we getting on the ship or is the officer coming to meet us off the ship? With no time left to dawdle, Taavi upped his pace and eventually stood in formation with everyone else. His rifle was slung over his right shoulder with his saber on his left hip, just like everyone else in the new brigade.
