Chad sat listening to everyone speak, he head the voice of a Chinese woman, who wore traditional clothing, and others who's clothing seemed odd as well as some who appeared to be wearing civilian clothing from the western world. He heard a boy speak, he appeared no older than 15, he war a uniform that Chad immediately recognized as that of the Hitler Youth. Chad began to wonder what implications this could have, a woman from traditional china, a young boy of the Hitler Youth, a woman dressed in strange clothing made of unknown materials, could they all be from different time? A young man, who was in his late teens to early twenties spoke. Shortly after Chad noticed a few tears form in his eyes. Always one to take care of others he walked over to the young man "I know it's hard, but we are the only men here, we must be strong for them. To show them we can all make the best of the situation, hold those feelings in, and later once you have a moment alone you can let them out. Tears are nothing to be ashamed of, but you have to maintain control." He whispered to the young man so that only he could here, his voice was soft and understanding. He then spoke up to the rest of the group "Hello everyone, I am Captain Chad Thoeness, Company Commander of the 4th Force Reconnaissance Company United States Marine Corps. I suggest we all introduce ourselves, as it would seem we will be here for a while. Also based upon observation, I would reason that the Goddess has taken from different times so we should state the year we are from. I am from the year 2012, I am 22 years of age." His voice was strong and in charge, his years as an officer the Corps gave him a level of confidence in unknown conditions.
