Thomas, along with his teams, tread through the snow filled grounds, making their way due east. The wind was slightly blowing for the time being, unlike earlier when they had to take cover in a nearby cave for 10 minutes to warm up. They have been searching for the weapon and two hours have already been pasted. One of the marine's scans picked up something on his tricorder, something very simulair to that of the weapon that they were looking for.
He had a few marines to keep an eye out on the skies, including himself, for any climate changes. So far, it has not changed since they left the cave. When his team came up to the location, they saw part of the weapon sticking out of the snow.
"Alright, guys...this is the weapon that we are looking for. Be careful when getting it out.", he replied to the marines.
His team carefully took out the weapon out of the snow. Thomas checked the time after the marines secured the weapon and noticed that they had 60 minutes left.
"Alright, Charlie 6... lets get on the move. We have an hour left.", he said to his team.
Him and his team made their way back to their starting point, stopping one last time when they were half way there for 10 minutes to warm up in a cave. Although it was necessary to get the weapon, it was also necessary to keep harm in this climate. When a few minutes of warming up, they started up again and make their way back to the starting point. They walked through the snow and made their way back to the starting point, which Major Iverson told them to meet back within three hours. Thomas checked the time and noticed that he made it in with 10 minutes to spare.

1 hour had past and his team is half way to there target. after resting for 10 mins and fighting off the heat warms in the cave they were in they continued on towards the point he had marked.
"Sir the reading had moved it is now 200 meters to the west." Reported a marine
Growls as he orders his team to move to the west once there he ordered his team to surround the target.
"Alright team wait for my order to fire" Ta'mk said to Stephen 6 team
Seeing they all nodded and moved into position he stayed low and when he heard they were in position "Alright team fire" Ta'Mak ordered
He fires his weapons along with the rest of his team the dealer flew against the rocks behind him he was dead
"Alright Stephen 8 team lets report back we have 50 mins left lets hustle and watch for climate changes" Ta'Mak said to the team he didn't really need to worry about the weather but knew his team did
the trip back was uneventful only stopped once for 5 mins about half way back. Arriving back to the meeting point he spots Cpl. Kinsley and his team there "We made it with what 1 min to spare"Ta'Mak said to his team and cpl Kinsley as he checks his chronometer.

She walked down the corridor and stood outside the holodeck.
"Computer, have both teams arrived at the start point?"
"They are at the start point, using your guidelines working."
The doors slid open and both teams rushed out to the warmth of the corridor. She looked at them.
"Follow me" She walked to the Marine briefing room.
"In a few minutes you will start to feel better as you warm up. Its surprising how any race of people can evolve on a place like Andor. However there is one world we know of that makes Andor look like a summer retreat. That's the Breen home world, so cold they don't have blood. So while your considering how horrible that was, be glad I didn't send you there."
"I'll have your ratings in a few minutes. Now why would I pick a place like Andor, to make your life's uncomfortable? Interesting thought but wrong. As Marines you can be called out at any given moment, facing any extreme in climate. These exercises prepare you for that. This is only the first. There will be more."
A beep was heard and she walked over to the console. She began reading the results.
"OK ladies and gents. Team Charlie 6, you got a 8.4 out of ten. Good work, this was not designed to be a walk in the park as they say."
"Team Stephen 8, you got a 8.3 out of ten. Good work. The Computer took off .3, since as a sniper, it was up to you to take out the target. Not the entire team. Otherwise it was good."
"The team acts as your support and has your back while you carry out the orders. Most of the time you would not have a team. But since the conditions on Andor are so extreme you were given one."
"Any questions?"

Thomas heard the doors to the holodeck open and begins to rush out of the holodeck, along with the rest of the marines. His teeth was chattering, shievering, trying to get warm by moving his hands together and jumping up and down. He would follow Major Iverson to the Marine meeting room. The walk helped him warm up, but he was still cold when he gotten into the Marine meeting room.
As he stood there in the marines meeting room, listening to Major Iverson. He thought that the reason why she sent them there was to condition them for any thing that was thrown at them. When he heard the scores for his team, he smirked, knowing that his team would receive good marks. But he did wonder where they could improve on.
"I have a question, Ma'am.", Thomas replied. "Where should my team and I should improve on before the next drill, Ma'am?", he asked her.

"A one word answer Kinsley, experience. Experience will bring that score up. And you will be given the opportunity to get that experience."
"To both of you, you handled your teams well. You followed the objectives, obtained your goal, and returned unharmed. In addition, no one on your respective team was injured. All in all, it was a great job, and you gained in your ability to lead"
"See that circle at the top its you, the team leader, as you progress to the objectives they will follow, the team is on the right of the circle. As they follow, you gain more Intel and perspective, then alter the current tact your taking to fit the new circumstances, keeping the objective in mind. They continue to follow, now on the left of the circle, however they cause changes no matter how slight, resulting in other adjustments. Until you reach the objective." 
Any questions? OOC: Sorry it took so long to finish I couldn't get the graphic worked the way I wanted to.

Thomas listened to what she said to them. He knew that he was not perfect, but he could benefit a lot with experience. It was funny that his Uncle had said to him about the same thing before he entered into the Starfleet Marine Academy. He admired his Uncle.
He looked over at the circle she pointed out and continued to listen to what she said. He had a lot to learn to be a great Team Leader. There is a lot of pressure on the Team Leader. Some have the ablity to be one and others do not.
"No, Ma'am.", he replied to her. All of his questions were answered.
Suddenly, his stomach began to growl, reminding him that he had not ate since that morning and that Kyah was waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Kyah had been waiting for Thomas. Finally she has to eat a snack because she's so hungry. She goes to the holodeck with another snack and a mug of tea. She waits for Thomas in the corridor until he is finished talking to his commander and the others.

"Very good. As I said you both did well. Keep up the good work. Dismissed"
She turned and walked out almost bumping into Kinsley's wife.
"Is that for me?" Laughs "You husband will be right out."
She continues to walk to her office.
OOC:: Jaylas wanted to remind everyone we are on Gamma shift and she expects postings. Watch for the notice of alpha shift beginning.

She puts the mug down and salutes to the Major, looking as formal as a pregnant lady can. She smiles at the inquiry to the mug of tea. "It's for you if you order me to give it to you, but I'm not sure if you'd like the blend, ma'am."

Thomas was relieved that they were dismissed. Looked over to see that Kyah was waiting for him and smiled at her as he walked over to her.
"Hello, amor. Sorry that it took me so long to get back.", he said as he walked up to her.
He placed his hand around her waist and leaned over to give her a kiss. "Ready to head back to eat?", he asked her.

She hands him the mug of tea and the snack she had brought, knowing he was hungry. She returns his kiss, but is mindful of the fact they are in public and she breaks away quickly. She smiles at him. "Yes, lets go eat, and after dinner, we can go to sickbay and have a doctor check up on the boys." She rubs her belly with a smile.
She walks with him down the corridor toward their quarters.

She went directly to the holodeck after leaving her office. She thought about having her little man on board and felt so much better for it.
She stood in front of the holodoors and keyed in the program she wanted to use for Cpl Driker's training. While she waited for him she wondered how she was gonna tell her in laws that Davy would be leaving them soon.
