The Base

[Fire_Monkey]

Yet another bullet bounced off of the Galaxy�s armor coating. The Terran Republic scouts had spotted them, and Anti-Air MAXes were being moved up to confront the approaching ship. One of the Soldiers got a target lock suddenly, and a Striker round was instantly trailing the Galaxy. The pilot tried some evasive maneuvers but the drop ship had terrible handling and the missile struck a gunner�s seat. He fell screaming out of the ship and they continued on to the Bio Lab at Cyssor.

Greyan didn�t care to think about the gunner, his screams, and the blood streaming down the side of the Galaxy. His face contorted with fear and anger at the unfeeling faces of his shipmates. He was shaken out of his thoughts as the pilot spoke into the megaphone. �Approaching The Cyssor Bio-Lab; Prepare your kinetic dampeners and ready your weapons� 5 Seconds later the hatch fell open and Greyan was suddenly falling. He raised his eyes enough to see the drop ship go down in flames from another Striker Missile. Greyan heard the dampeners engage and dust was swirling all around him. Then they struck the ground and started towards their positions. This base had not been re-supplied with nanites and there were no Republic soldiers to hinder us.

Greyan took his position at the southeastern wall and raised the Bolt Driver to his eye. He took a quick scan of the trees and brush surrounding the immediate base. No bogies. Greyan scoped in to 12x magnification and spotted a Terran patrol responding to the attack. The Soldiers who had been sent out to stop the drop ship were also converging on the base. Greyan heard a voice in his ear, � This is the Commander speaking, we have hacked the base men�. Instantly troops were streaming out of the spawn tubes, ready for combat.

Scans showed 2 groups heading for the base, both the patrol and the strike force sent to stop the Galaxy drop. They would arrive in 15 minutes infiltration scouts stated.

Combat engineers rushed to the entrance, setting boomers to remove enemy armor, and mines to take out the infantry. The squads were grouped with medics and basic engineers to keep troops alive longest without the respawn delay. Snipers were deployed in cover where they would be able to take advantage of the rushed Terran attack and cause massive damage among the infantry.


And they waited...

The Fight

The prowler slowly ground to a halt, its treads chewing a track of brown, and green through the rolling hills. Greyan saw the gunner swivel the turret back and forth, scanning for any sign of life. Seeing nothing immediately the driver slowly moved forward along the path. Greyan signaled the engineer when the tank moved onto the boomer and suddenly there was no tank. Greyan was deafened at first and slowly gained his hearing back as he crawled forward to investigate the debris. As he eased himself over a blackened tread, he heard a rustling on the other side. Sliding out his AMP, Greyan circled the tank cautiously. Suddenly he heard a chain blade switch on and by instinct rolled to the side. A moment later the knife plunged into the ground, held in the hand of a Terran Republic soldier. The Chain Blade churned the earth, spraying dirt and grass everywhere. Greyan raised the AMP to send a clip of lead into the unfortunate soldier when he noticed a Repeater held in the young man�s hand. Greyan saw his finger twitch and a round struck his torso. The Re-Enforced Armor stopped the bullet, but it threw him off balance, and as he drew the trigger back to discharge the weapon, he staggered, barely keeping his balance. The bullets flew left of the man and Greyan cursed. He saw the Soldier raise the Repeater to take another shot, and threw himself at the ground. As he rolled, Greyan unleashed the remaining bullets inside the AMP magazine, straight into the Terran soldier�s stomach. Greyan watched the armor yield to the force and a round slipped in causing havoc inside the Soldier�s body. He watched as blood leaked out and down the Red and Black armor, barely noticeable. The soldier's last breath escaped and he slumped to the side, his weapons held losely in his hand.

�Enemy ETA to base is 2.5 minutes, prepare yourselves� The microphone screeched out, once again warning of the assault. Greyan took aim, scanning the landscape meticulously, for any sign of the assault force. He saw a branch shudder as if something had brushed it, but nothing was there. There was a shimmer of air, and then nothing once again. Greyan squeezed the trigger leading 5 feet in front of where he had seen the shimmer. A flash of light, and then the scream, as the bolt spiraled off. Instead of striking the ground and the plume of dust that followed, he watched as a Republic soldier suddenly materialized, and saw the bolt lodged in his side, blood spurting from the wound. The soldier fell to his knees, confusion written all over his features, and then his head drooped and he was lying in the dust.

Greyan spoke into his microphone, this is the Colonel speaking, the attackers are in Infiltration suits, activate Dark-light vision men�. He switched on the implant inside his helm, and felt the drain of stamina that the implant pulled to power its� self. Greyan looked up, onto a hillside of Terran Republic soldiers that had not been there a moment before.

The turrets opened up, and he saw flame spurt, and then a slew of bullets peppered the hillside. The Republic soldiers charged the base; there only hope was to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Greyan recognized the tactic immediately, and sprinted to the combat terminal, and stepped into a suit of MAX armor. With the Scatter Cannon equipped, Greyan set it to close range and rushed to the base entrance.

Some troops had rolled a sunderer in front of the entrance, and the disorganized Terran troops were discharging AMPs and Repeaters at the wall tops, in an effort to prevent the New Conglomerate from taking advantage of the situation and destroying the carefully planned attack force. Greyan saw the sunderer begin to flame, and it exploded, they must have struck the warp gate reactor inside, he thought.

A Terran soldier stumbled across the barricade, an AMP held in his left hand: a Repeater clutched in his right. He saw Greyan out of his peripheral vision, and swung both weapons up firing instantly. Greyan engaged the MAX�s shield ability, and the shots bounced off. He brought the Scatter cannon reticule to rest on the man�s torso. In a second the deadly weapon was fired, and the soldier�s infiltration suit did little to protect him from the blast. He flew backwards, a chunk of flesh missing from his right side. He was thrown against the smoldering sunderer, and in his final death throes, squeezed the triggers firing the pistols at nothing in particular.

Greyan raised the Cannon to take on the Terran soldiers filtering through the blazing barricade. Suddenly he fell to the ground, the implant had drained his stamina, and he could no longer stay conscious. The world went black, and he remembered no more.

[simba]
