Did you have a particular one of us in mind, or just any of us that happen to match the description? 
Also, great post SBD.

"Indeed, Combat Commander Vfraar." he said with a smile, as his bodyguards moved to the side to let the newcomer through. "You must be Rezzea, the new Infiltrator. I've heard a lot about you, your profile is fairly impressive." Her profile appeared on his Air HUD, as if on cue. "It's a pleasure to have your service on board. The man you're replacing was a complete clutz, died from getting tangled in some climbing wires and strangling himself." He chuckled at the memory as they began to walk again, the bodyguards falling in behind him and Rezzea.
"Glad to know"
[sup]He smells[/sup]
Rezzea kept walking, and kept in range with Vfraar.
"So umm, when are we going to see the Commander then eh?"
And then she remembered something. She forgot to get her swords, but a moment before Regrel was about to answer her question, she noticed they were going towards her room anyway.
She kept her feet moving and her eyes upon Vfraar, waiting for a reply.

By Regrel do you mean Vfraar? I'm slightly confused as to who she's talking to, but I'll assume it's Vfraar.
"Actually, I'm going to see the Captain right now..." Vfraar said as they walked, seeing his turn coming up. "...about some Combat Commander business that I need to get out of the way ahead of time." He was hesitant to suggest that she could come with him to meet the Captain, as Zeredare seemed to be pretty busy, and might not like having to deal with any unnecessary introductions. The old talonisk decided to let Rezzea decide if she would come with him.
"Here's my turn." he stated with a smile as they reached an intersection, a sign on the wall indicating that the hall to the right led to the bridge.
Yep, they would have alot of stuff like that.
The lights of the ship glowed below him as he watched the last soldier run on, barely making the departure time. As the blast door closed the workers went back into their station, awaiting for the countdown. The lights in the outside tower faded from red top a vibrant glowing green, signally the launch. The latches that held the ship from drifting out released and the ship began to fly out into the void of space. The engine roared up in its sound proof room, burning away plasma as it prepared to shoot off into space.
"Captain Zeredare, are you ready to enter warp?" The voice of the pilot came over the radio, shouting above the noise of the rest of the crew.
"You probably should've asked that before you released the ship." Zeredare said with a chuckle. "But since we are already in drift, I say yes."
"Alright, initiate the drive you maggots!"
The turbines roared up and a glowing blue flame shot out from the side, yet the ship remained suspended. The outer walls gave off a white light as the gravity stabilizers on the inside of the ship powered on, preventing anyone from being torn apart from the immense speed. The men inside would not even fell the slightest bump or jolt. Like a hawk the ship screamed before flying off into the distance at terrifying speed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zeredare looked out into the blackness of the void, staring off into nothing as his job required. "Just another day at the office..." He muttered walking back towards his desk, shuffling across the room. He placed a finger on the radio button, pressing down to turn on the ship's intercom.
"Combat Commander Vfraar, please report to my quarters."
Isaac watched, amused as the Grel collected a bunch of demolitions people in the Canteen. "Excuse me" Isaac called to the Grel.
"Yes sir" he responded.
"What are you doing?" Isaac asked.
"Regrel has requested I gather up all the demolitions personnel on the ship. He plans to deliver a speach to them in about 5 minutes." the flustered Grel responded
"Then you better get back to work" Isaac said with a grin.
"Yes sir" the aid responded, and walked off.
Isaac watched as the demolitions men walked into the canteen. As one walked by him, Isaac focussed his Kinesis power. Immediatly a grenade floated out of the man's back pocket, then moved through the air, and suspended it before his eyes. Using his power, he quickly pulled it appart, removed the fuse, and then put it back together. Then the "adjusted" grenade dropped into his hand. Without the fuse it was completely safe, although to the unwary it looked completely live. Isaac smiled at his handiwork as he reach for a near by marker.
As Regrel delivered his speach, Isaac was sitting in the corner thinking to himself. "This guy is really serious. And he sounds like a real hard ass.". Regrel finnished his speach and looked at the crowd for a moment, let the message sink in. Isaac saw his chance. He focussed his mind once again. Silently the modified grenade floated up to the ceiling, across the room, and the descended until it was suspended right infront of Regrel's face. The Grenade itself had been crudely coloured yellow, with a poorly draw smiley face on one side. Also written were the words "Let you smile be your umbrella". As Regrel looked at the grenade in surprise, Isaac pulled the pin out, and then dropped the "live" grenade right at Regrel's feet.
"Yes sir" he responded.
"What are you doing?" Isaac asked.

Yes I clearly said I removed the fuse(so that it wouldn't blow up when the pin was pulled) but since the fuse is on the inside only Isaac knows that its dead.
Vfraar was nearing the Captain's quarters, having already gone through the guarded security layer surrounding it and the bridge, when the launch sirens went off. Glancing at the schedule that appeared before him, he frowned slightly. They were half an hour early. Not that he was complaining, of course, as all the personnel and supplies had already been loaded, but he usually made sure that he had a good view, as he liked to watch the maiden launch of any voyage he was part of. It was a sentimental habit that he had kept since the very first time he left his home planet.
Glancing around, Vfraar quickly spied a small viewing port, and hurriedly walked up to it, just in time to watch the ship begin drifting away from the docking bay. Outside, workers would be scattering away from the station, to avoid being cooked as the massive ship's turbines raored to life. There was a tiny, odd sensation, felt throughout the body but mostly in the feet and head, as the artificial gravity set in. Then, without even a bump, everything recognizable outside the window vanished as the Great White entered warp.
"Combat Commander Vfraar, please report to my quarters." Zeredare's voice said over the intercom. Vfraar sighed, gazing out into the inky black void for a few more seconds, then turned and resumed his trek to the Captain's quarters. Back to business.
When he got there about a minute later, he showed his ID to the guards at the door. It was always annoying at the beginning of a trip, having to get passed guards who didn't recognize you yet. Hopefully before too long they'd come to know him better and he wouldn't have to put up with all these security precautions. Surely, the Captain could take care of himself.
One of the guards keyed the visitor signal. "CC Vfraar here to see you, Captain."

There was a scream. Regrel looked up at the sound, then froze in complete shock. A grenade was floating above the heads of his soilders towards him. It stopped about about a foot in front of him, the whole world staring at it's yellow surface and the crudely drawn smiley face. Then, it fell.
The Grel responded quickly. As the grenade fell though the air he caught it, unhinged his jaw and swallowed it whole. Then he braced himself
[i/]Well, what a pointless way to go.[/i]
He waited. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. The seconds crawled by. Regrel opened one eye, then the other blue one, it's white pupil dancing over the spectators.
[i/]I'm still alive. How could this be?[/i]
Then finally Regrels blue eye focused on a grinning human at the back of the crowded. Date began to feed into the Grels brain. The biotic.
[i/]Ahh, I see. A prankster.[/i]
Regrel straightened up and spoke once again to the gathered crowd, rehinging his jaw as he did so.
"Well men, there's just one of the many lessons I, and my friend mister Isaac," He gestured at the man at the back of the crowd causing many heads to turn "will be teaching you. Always be vigilant, and always be willing to sacrific yourself. If that had been a live grenade would you have been willing to put yourself before the men in this room? I doubt it. Dismissed."
[spoiler/] Yeah, apparently Grels can unhing their jaw too. We already know they can eat metal.[/spoiler]

"Ah, the Talonisk who shall be serving under as my Combat Commander, it's so nice to finally meet you." Zeredare exclaimed as Vfraar walked into his office, taking his eyes of his desk to see the hulking lizard man. Never having dealt with a high ranking Talonisk this was certainly a new experience for Zer.
"So tell me, what got you to be serving as my CC?"
"So tell me, what got you to be serving as my CC?"
"Pussy" Isaac simply said. He knew there was no chance of the thing going off, and it had served a valuable lesson to the recruits. Isaac was slightly awed by how quickly the Grel reacted however. "Hmm, he's ballsy I'll give him that". "Hey wait up" Isaac called, and he quickly walked up beside Regrel.
"Now I know that was in bad taste," Isaac said to the Grel "but it's good to see some bravery. Most of the people I have worked with would have just stared at it until they were killed." Isaac said, looking at Regrel. Then he put out his hand for a hand shake. He didn't know if that was Grel custom, but it was custom back on Black Death, so he figured it was his best shot. "I'm Isaac; the Sentinal's medic" he said

As the babberling crowd moved, Regrel pushed himself though them to where the man was standing, his hair on end and his teath bared. Finally Regrel found him. The man was still grinning and babbling on about something. Then he held out his hand. Regrel stared at it in disgust. Then he looked up at him.
"If you ever try something like that again I will kill you." He said simply. Before Isaac could answer Regrel stalked away, his hair bristerling.
[i/] I'm surrounded my idiots[/i] He thought as he stode away, pushing some demomen aside as he headed up a flight of stairs. [i/] I can handle it amoung the men but the Sentinels? I'm going to have a words to say about this Isaac.[/i]
As he stode past a window he heard the warp sirens go off. Regrel stopped in his tracks, close his eyes and allowed his breathe to slow. Then, opening them again, Regrel turned to one of the port holes, feeling as he did so the feeling of sinking into a hot bath as the artificial gravity kicked in. Staring out the window, he saw the port disappear in a flash, leaving nothing but the vast emptyness of space. [i/] No going back now.[/i]

Isaac sighed. "Whatever. Hope he doesn't expect me to give him any morphine is he is bleeding out." Isaac said to himself as he felt the artificial gravity kick in. He never cared much for warp travel, but it was a nessecary horror of space transportation. Too many things could go wrong at this speed. "You know sir," Smith chirped in "That prank was in bad taste. He did loose an arm after all. And your going to be stuck with him for a long time. I recommend you try to make it up to him some way, sir."
"Smith," Isaac said "Shut the hell up." Although the more he thought about it, the more Smiths suggestion sounded like a good idea. Eh whatever, I'm sure I'll have a chance to make it up to him. When the hell am I going to meet the captain? Isaac though to himself.

Vfraar chuckled. "Ah, well, that is a very long story, Captain, but one that an old dog like me would be happy to sit down and tell you some time. I've served as a military commander for over a hundred years, so all of that experience culminated together was probably what prompted them to offer me the position. All the gritty details are in my profile, if you haven't perused it already. It's a very long one."
Vfraar smiled confidently, showing his teeth just enough to make sure they were easily visible, but without being so "out there" that they would draw attention. It was a subtle trick he had learned a while ago that helped earn the respect of people he talked to. He could tell this captain was not one to waste time on pushovers, and Vfraar liked that. Confidence was best met with counter-confidence, and so a strong balance could be formed. It was the basis of any decent authority system.

Rezzea opened up her room with her key card and put the sheathes on her back. Afterward, she sheathed her weapons and put on her armor. Her greaves were from ankle to knee, and she could feel the weight of the Grel skin hanging on her clothes.
"Ah, now all I need is combat.."
She stalked outside, walking funny for a minute, trying to adjust the suit. It was better to look like an idiot for a minute than to feel pain throughout combat.
"Now, I'm ready for something.. And where are we going to anyway?"
Rezzea thought about it for a minute, thinking of all the planets colonized by pirates and mutants that were in this direction.
[sup]No, it has to be something else, I've had intel on all those, but still I seem lost. Have they found a new planet?[/sup]
She thought to herself, not wanting to talk to herself while walking past others. The crowd took a quick change, like a mixture of abnormality and shock.
[sup]Has something happened? Oh, nevermind it, I'm sure I will have details in the debriefing.... by the way, which I STILL haven't gotten... where's that damned Captain?![/sup]
Rezzea quickly took up her pace. When she noticed a sign with one of those "You Are Here" symbols, she quickly found the Captain's quarters and jogged over there in a hurry.

"I just finished reading your record Vfraar, roughly forty pages of text. If I had known it was going to take so long to finish I would have brought something to keep me distracted." Zeredare replied to the Talonisk's statement. "Anyway, I'm just glad to have you on board, you never know when you might need a tr-" Zeredare's statement was cut short by a flashing red light on the screen of his computer, along with the distress signal of a nearby ship. No video feed was being received, nor any other signal.
"That's strange, I didn't think there was another ship withing a hundred light years of here." He muttered quietly to himself.
"Vfraar, would you be kind and get the others of the squad in here. I think we might have a bit of a problem on our hands."

Rezzea quickly turned her pace into speed-walking, and then onto walking. After catching her breath, she opened the door into the Captain's corridor.
"I'm here for the briefing"
She stated to the woman who sat behind a desk. Two security guards guarded the door ahead of her, and she had just walked past another three.
"ID?"
The female said.
Rezzea quickly flashed her ID card, and again to make sure she saw it.
"Alright, let her pass"
"Thank you"
Rezzea stated in return as she quietly opened the Captain's waiting room. It was very small, a door, a couch and a coffee table sat opposite another desk with a male Nazar stationed at it, looking through some paperwork.
"The Captain's in a meeting, is this urgent?"
"No, it's fine, I'll wait here"
Reazza replied and sank deeper into the couch, finally catching her breath. She noticed a mirror on the far sight of the wall opposite her, next to the counter. After a few seconds she started adjusting her face, and then her armor.
Some of it had shifted in all the running, and now she had to re-attach it. She slowly reached down her shirt and began pulling and pushing.

I'm sorry, I need to go now, I will read up on the briefing tomorrow, Exictednuke, if you would please escort my character wherever you go? Cheers, cya in the morning...
