AN: There is some swearing in this, well…more than the last ones. I don't count bastard as a swear word but there is the word fck in this chapter. This is an official warning!

Head Commander Connor paced the room with great effort; it was the only thing preventing a nervous breakdown.

"Sir" The man who had just burst through the briefing room door addressed John with urgency in his voice. John sighed and told him to sit without listening to his urgent news. Reese saw this as odd for John was the type of person to listen, no matter how busy he was.

After a few seconds of silence, John started to mumble to himself, trying to figure out a way inside. He mentally fought with himself often and those who were in the top ranks knew that he was strategizing when he started to mumble.

The man who had interrupted Head Commander Connor's therapeutical pacing was now fidgeting with his hands. His dark eyes and dark features roamed the other faces in the room. Reese was looking for a reason not to look at the man only finding his gaze uncertainly locked on target.

The fidgeting man quickly dropped his eyes when he realized that the man who was staring at him was the Commander Reese. He had been there when the young man snapped and was surprised to see him sitting there ready for battle.

While John was still trying to win the debate within his head, the dark fidgeting man raised his eyes back up and introduced himself to Reese.

"Alan Black, nice to meet you." He threw his hand across the table and Reese shook it.

"Uhhh—Kyle Reese." He stated uncertainly.

Alan smiled sharply while he gave a head count in the room. 1 – 2 – 3,4,5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – and Head Commander Connor makes 9. He didn't know the names of those sitting in the room but he was sure that proper introductions would come later.

John cleared his throat and the meeting began, he started off by introducing his strategy.

"Listen up ladies!" he shouted across the room and ended the small conversations at the back of the room.

"As the machines seem to want to fuck with us, we will fuck with them! But" he emphasized this word and continued, "we have to be careful about it." His voice dropped in volume but not in effectiveness.

He smiled and brought out detailed blueprints of the Austrian base. Pointing to a spot on the paper, he told them that this was going to be their entrance and exit.

"Only enough for one at a time so you will have to make sure that you're discreet," he added.

"Sir" Reese spoke up and asked, "How the hell are we getting there?" Both teams laughed, as did John. He did not see this question as rude since Reese was right to be worried about the mode of transportation.

"Well," and he mumbled the rest of his sentence.

"What?" Alan piped up with a confused look on his face, "Sir, could you please speak up?"

"Roland who is the head electrician, and Raychel, the head mechanical technician, have found something rather exciting in the ruins of the North American base."A black haired Native looking woman sitting at the back of the room verbalized in John's place. She harshly pronounced every syllable of the word 'exciting.'

John looked uneasy and elaborated, "Yes, our search teams have come across sophisticated hard and software which will take your" he nodded to Reese, "and your" he nodded to Black, "teams across to where you need to go"

"Risky though isn't it, Sir." Reese sighed and asked, "Have you tried it yet?"

John nodded and told them that it works perfectly.

In the following minutes he described the main procedures and a walkthrough of the Austrian base.

After complete agreement, the teams were ushered to the barracks to get acquainted while they waited for their equipment to be rounded up.

AN: The swearing wasn't all that bad now was it? Roland and Raychel were inspired by a two of my friends. Thank you, everyone! I had an amazing turnout! I read and cherish all of my reviews!

Recent Note: I am getting back into writing. It took me almost three years, and only recently, an operation that has put me out of commission for a little while, to be able to write this fic again.

To all those who have posted their characters: They are being written about! Of course, I am taking a little creative license with them, but they're pretty much the same. :) Sorry for the wait!
