The glaring lights of the Barracks heated Marc's face causing him to scrunch it up and eventually toss around on his bunk waiting for a couple of minutes till the heat came back. groaning and opening one of his eyes, Marc peeked over his shoulder to see Aiden whipping his towel at Lucy. Grinning a bit, Marc knew Lucy would get him back. Marc sat up and streched, flinging his legs over his bunk and lingered there for awhile watching the other cadets of Echo Company get ready for the day.

For a moment Marc felt old, a familiar feeling now a days as he watched the young plebes get ready. It felt as if yesterday was the first day he stepped on to the Triton Station. Shaking the feeling out of his head, Marc dressed himself for the day. He grabbed his uniform from it's resting place, got his socks and boots from the his bunk locker, and checked his MUT and CMT in less than a minute before jumping on to the cold floor. Yawning, Marc smoothed out his uniform and smiled; proceding to his daily routine all the while unconciously feeling the soft material of his Special Operations patch.

Feeling the uniform cling to him made him smile and he knew today was going to invigorating. How did he know this? Because today was going to be another day on a Special Ops mission. Of course the engineer had to get through the tactics discussion that all Spec Ops have to attend which made him wince. The Academy had issued it really because Specs Ops usually have either limited to no communication with Intel so all Special Operators have to learn the tactics issued by the Intelligence. Marc wasn't going to like it but he'll make it, after all Lucy was there.

Walking toward the mess hall, Marc saw all the eager faces and heard all the growling stomach and smiled. Blinking, Marc saw Patrick, Aiden, and Cielo about 10 feet in front of him. Grinning even bigger than before, Marc walked a bit faster to catch up.
