 Their leader is one Lieutenant Commander Hendrix.  He's from a little place back on Earth named Texas, and prides himself on being a descendant from some sort of unique family of shepherds called "bull boys", or something like that.  Hendrix should've been a Starfleet Marine, but I get the impression he's not a fan of the Corps, so he stayed in the military operations branch, becoming a hazard trooper for most of his career.  What he is now, no one really knows, and they're not telling me. Their leader is one Lieutenant Commander Hendrix.  He's from a little place back on Earth named Texas, and prides himself on being a descendant from some sort of unique family of shepherds called "bull boys", or something like that.  Hendrix should've been a Starfleet Marine, but I get the impression he's not a fan of the Corps, so he stayed in the military operations branch, becoming a hazard trooper for most of his career.  What he is now, no one really knows, and they're not telling me.

-He's got a pair of ensigns under him assigned as team leads for two separate squads of about eight enlisted troopers each.  They're all infantry, through and through; not your typical security guards.  They've been training together for a long time and are pretty tight-knit.  They don't really socialize with the rest of the crew.  Every single one of them is human, either by chance or design -- I don't know which.  Republic is supposed to be a diverse crew by Starfleet orders, but these guys have a bond that doesn't leave much room for anyone who's not like "them", and wouldn't you know it?  I'm the ONE person on the ship who's been assigned to work with them.+He's got a pair of ensigns under him assigned as team leads for two separate squads of about eight enlisted troopers each.  They're all infantry, through and through; not your typical security guards.  They've been training together for a long time and are pretty tight-knit.  They don't really socialize with the rest of the crew.  Every single one of them is human, assigned either by chance or design -- I don't know which.  Republic is supposed to be a diverse crew by Starfleet orders, but these guys have a bond that doesn't leave much room for anyone who's not like "them", and wouldn't you know it?  I'm the ONE person on the ship who's been assigned to work with them.

 Hendrix isn't happy about it, which is probably why I've been given a temporary grade reduction to lieutenant for this detached duty.  Even at that rank, a small team like this wouldn't need much more than an enlisted medic.  But for some reason, headquarters sees it necessary for me to be ready to hit the trenches with the rest of these grunts.  Ever since Captain Roth-Dorian handed me these orders, it's been non-stop training, training, and more training.  I've had to re-learn a lot of my basic infantry skills from my own enlistment courses almost two decades ago.  It didn't take me long to remind myself why I went into medicine...// Hendrix isn't happy about it, which is probably why I've been given a temporary grade reduction to lieutenant for this detached duty.  Even at that rank, a small team like this wouldn't need much more than an enlisted medic.  But for some reason, headquarters sees it necessary for me to be ready to hit the trenches with the rest of these grunts.  Ever since Captain Roth-Dorian handed me these orders, it's been non-stop training, training, and more training.  I've had to re-learn a lot of my basic infantry skills from my own enlistment courses almost two decades ago.  It didn't take me long to remind myself why I went into medicine...//
