Haha...

All right is correct. There is no such word as "alright." If you looked in Strunk and White...

Am I going to have to show up again and point out the obvious?

Love it, Grif. It's just so entertaining. :D

Further orders were given as the SPEW Commandos tried to figure out what to do with them.

<Why don't we just leave them here and find an exit ourselves?> Phoenix grumbled over the radio. The helmet was a good medium for griping, since none of the sound escaped.

<Phoenix, ask me again and I'll shoot you. Go pass out the hyper-integrators,> Snoink replied.

Grif was the first to receive it. It looked like a TI-89 Calculator, but this was a deception. It was actually the most revolutionary piece of equipment yet built: something that could automatically integrate information seamlessly. It could not only tell you information about your squadmates, but it could also integrate with any electronic component and give you control of it.

Grif moved into the room where the Cadets had been shoved. They were playing cards. Their gear was stowed for now.

"Is this your first mission?" Grif asked nonchalantly. There was some giggling.

"Definitely not," Claudette said.

"I see. What have you guys done?"

"Can't really say. It's classified."

"Classified?"

"Yep. Can't tell you about it."

"So how come you guys all have the standard issue armor and weaponry?"

"So we can maintain surprise on all our enemies. You know 'Don't hurt us, we're just cadets'. They look away and BLAMO!" Slickjimmy said.

Grif knew he had been had. So he just smiled and left.

<Meeting in five minutes,> Snoink warned.

Everyone was downstairs. Master Chief and and Sergeant Johnson were in one corner, the Commandos in another, and the cadets were in the another.

"Okay! So, yeah, we need to get out of here. Nate says we need to find some sort of power generator to power some sort of teleportation thing. Nate says we're needed back ASAP, he's decided to invade Russia."

"May I say that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard?" Grif said.

"Duly noted," Phoenix said.

"Shut up Grif. We have fifteen SPEW and YWS forces. I think we should split up into groups of three. One cadet to two commandos. Cortana has given us some likely points where we can find these power stations. We'll split up and recon them. If you find a station, call it in. I've already talked with Sergeant Johnson, he'll give us a ride on some of the Pelicans."

"I'd like to restate my-" Grif started.

"Shut up," Snoink said.

"What do we know about these locations?" Crysi asked.

"Next to nothing. Just some coordinates. It will be a blind drop. You are the recon mission," Cortana said.

"How are we going to teleport out? Grif asked.

"Don't worry about that. Any more questions? Then let's go," Snoink said.

"Grif moved into the room where the Cadets had been shoved. They were playing cards. There gear was stowed for now. "

Wrong "there", dearie. It should be "their".

Either that, or you mean that they've been shoved into the space where the gear is stowed which would lead me to wonder whose gear it was and why we would do a thing like that.
