Trouble arrives in a drop ship, more accurately twenty drop ships chock full of LEPrecon officers come crashing on the scene.
"You requested backup, didn't you? Well, here's your backup, fifty LEP officers ready for orders. Alright men, lock and load and drive those eye-sucking demons back where they came from!"

Grub isn't sure whether he should faint from relief or stutter stupidly as he tries to figure out how his brother managed to arrive so fast. He does neither. In a rare moment of professionalism, he maintains his composure and calmly strides up to Trouble.
"Gee, what took you so long?" he asks sarcastically, "Where were you--just around the block? How under the earth did you get here that fast?"

Tara blinked, surprised to find Grub suddenly there with quite a load of weapons. She was even more surprised when Captain Kelp shows up with more than enough backup to take down the goblins. She knew Grub had made the call for help and she casually walked over to him, nudging him in the ribs with her elbow.
"I think you really saved our butts back there, Corporal." She smiled in appreciation. "Thanks." She then turned to Trouble and extended a hand to him. "Hi. I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm Tara Nova, officer in training under Captain Short. Thanks for the quick backup, sir."

Grub looks a bit startled as Tara addresses him. He blinks and looks around to make sure he's the only corporal present that she could possibly be talking to. Realizing she is definitely talking to him, he looks back at her and smiles awkwardly.
"Oh, uh...all in a day's work," he chuckles nervously, "An officer's got to do what an officer's got to do, you know?"
He heaves a sigh of relief as Tara turns her attention to Trouble. Taking advantage of the moment, the corporal sidles away to busy himself picking up the electric rifles to take them back into Police Plaza's storage room.

"Well these LAATs work like a charm. LAAT stands for Low Altitude Attack Transport, but anyway. And honor to meet you, I hear your a great shot."
Trouble kisses Tara's hand, and kneels down on one knee.
"Hey, Grub! Good job."

Grub is equally startled when Trouble commends him. It's not very often he gets praise from his big brother and it's not something to be taken lightly. He snaps to attention and salutes respectfully, trying to behave in a professional manner.
"Thank you, Captain, sir," he answers, puffing his scrawny chest out and holding his head a bit higher. He then returns to collecting the scattered weaponry and hauling it back to storage.

"Wow. I guess news travels fast around here." Tara blushed a little as Trouble kissed her hand. "Pleasure to meet you, sir."
She squinted at Trouble, studying him, then looked back at Grub. They did look alot alike. She looked back at Trouble again.
"Are you two related?" She finally asked, nodding toward Grub.

"Corporal, can you call in an engineer to help repair this statue?" Trouble resumes his attention back to Tara. "As a matter of fact, yes we are related, he's the younger one. And, I hear your the new cadet here. I also hear your quite the marksmen, did you ever participate in in the sharpshooter competition?"

"I don't know any engineers," Grub pants, wiping the sweat from his brow, "Besides, I think it would take a professional sculptor to repair that mess. Foaly would probably have connections with somebody."

Caballine, the female centaur who is a journalist for PPTV and a sculptor walked into Police Plaza, hoping she would find Foaly. Because she recived a call from Police Plaza.
"Hi, Foaly. What did you guys need me for?"

On an extremely rare occasion, Foaly just happens to be outside of the Ops Booth, taking digital photos of the damage to file away in the crime reports. He looks up from adjusting the lens.
"That," the centaur replies, pointing to the damaged statue, "Think you can fix it?"

"Without a problem, I know I can fix that. One time, I had a huge statue bigger than that one spilt into, and I repaired it. I'll get my sculpting tools."

[glow=green,5,300]"Hey, I know you," Chix interrupts, shaking Caballine's hand, "PPTV, right? You interviewed me after the whole B'wa Kell thing, remember? I still have the scar. Wanna see it?"[/glow]

"No, I never knew there was a competition." Tara replied to Trouble. "Thanks for the compliment, by the way. The commander thinks I'm a natural. I don't know though. Sometimes I think it's just dumb luck."
She smiled at the captain, saluting him quickly before turning to help Grub move the weaponry back to its arsenal. She paused as the girl centaur approached though. She recognized her from some interviews on PPTV. As Chix started babbling about his scar again, Tara rolled her eyes and returned to assisting Grub.

"Cadet Nova, we still need to resume your training. That was just a concept of what you're going to be dealing with once you're a corporal and enter Recon. Initiation is not fun, so I wouldn't be in a rush. It's great when you pass."
Holly helped Tara carry a few weapons, she walked them into the LEPrecon armory and threw the weapons on the metal floor. It made an earsplitting bang when the weapons hit the ground.
Holly sighed. "They really need to pick this place up."
