Daniel #1
It happened a few days after the disastrous night patrol. Daniel was back on duty. Not because he would have to, but because he wanted to. Captain Vaun offered him a vacation to sort things out, but Daniel declined. The last thing he wanted was to think about what happened, what he did, and what that could mean for his career. No, what he really needed was to bury himself under a never-ending pile of paperwork, which was exactly what he did. It was a terrible job, but it kept him sane.
For two days he was basically living in a small office, going through old reports and forms, with only short breaks for quick food or sleep. On the third day, his routine was disrupted, by an unexpected knocking on his door.
"Come in."
The door opened after his invitation and a young Petty Officer entered, prompting Daniel to jump up on his feet.
"Sir…"
He saluted as the higher-ranking marine looked around the room, before focusing his eyes on him.
"Seaman Recruit Ortiz?"
His question was answered with loud:
"Yes sir."
The officer nodded.
"Excellent, I have orders for you from captain Vaun."
The recruit expected to be sent on another patrol or worse, training for his new abilities, but as it turned out this wasn't the case.
"As you probably know, a few months ago, a new pirate crew appeared in our Blue. Although these...Red Skull pirates are quite a new crew, they already got quite a notoriety by targeting our patrol vessels and supply lines for few remote bases. As you can imagine, the higher-ups don't want another Mugiwara Luffy to be born in our Ocean so they are currently focusing a lot of attention and resources on featuring them. And although we didn't discover their whereabouts yet, our Military Intelligence managed to find out, that sister of their captain is working here on Tequilla Wolf."
The recruit wanted to ask what doesn't that have to do with him, however, his superior continued.
"So your task will be to find her and bring her here for questioning. All the details are contained in this folder."
He handed Daniel a thin paper folder and continued.
"Also, according to captain's order Chore girl, Anette Mari will join you during this task. Captain wants her to learn as much about what it's like to be a real Marine as possible before she'll get into active duty. Questions?"
Daniel thought for a second before asking.
"Yes sir...this Chore girl Anette Mari, where do I find her?."
The petty officer smiled.
"That's a good question Seaman Recruit. However, I have no idea so. It's probably the first part of your task."
With that, he saluted him again and left.
