PlanetSide - Prelude - Retaking Mulac

The day was a late afternoon on Hossin, near the Technology Plant, Mulac. Mulac had been previously captured by the Vanu Sovereignty and was being held by an elite platoon of Vanu Marines. Through the fog peered a sniper staring through the scope of his Bolt Driver, with the eyes of a killer, those that seemed to be used to looking at death.

He quickly zoomed in on the walls of Mulac, with his powerful scope mounted on the Bolt Driver, he quickly spotted a Command Rank 5 Vanu commander barking commands at nearby foot soldiers. He could see the Vanu CR5's facial expressions through his scope, a light smirk of irony that the sniper had seen before. Suddenly his basic training came through his mind, he remembered his drill sergeant telling him to gently squeeze the trigger to get a more accurate shot. The Vanu CR5 wasn't moving, he had an excellent shot at the head, he took the opportunity to scope the shot and squeeze the trigger, a loud report resounded from the muzzle of the long rifle as a Bolt flew. It must have been God that led the Bolt to the target, because the Vanu CR5 moved slightly but the Bolt still found its mark upon the Vanu CR5's torso.

The Bolt sent the Vanu reeling over the base walls, while falling to his demise the sniper fired a last killing shot in the head, sending the Vanu CR5 into a vivid flip, just before it all went black for him as he struck the dirt ground of Mulac. Once the sniper fired the killing shot, he pulled the radio from his backpack and called his Commander, notifying him that the Vanu leader in the area had been terminated.

Since the Vanu were dismayed with the lack of a leading Commander, the New Conglomerate CR5 quickly used his Command Uplink Device to scan the area for enemies, once the uplink command had been processed, he saw on the overhead map that there were several troops, and enemy vehicles sitting in the courtyard of Technology Plant Mulac. He quickly consulted with other Commanders regarding the battle plan in which should be executed in the retaking of this Technology Plant.

The Commanders hastily decided that the outside force should be bombed by Liberators from the Naum Dropship Center. The Liberators quickly gathered in the courtyard of Naum, there were a total of four. Once they had all been assembled, they quickly hovered to flight ceiling and prepared for the attack mission on Mulac, they were now awaiting strike confirmation. The Commanders broadcasted that once the courtyard of Mulac had been bombed, ground troops were to quickly move in the Vehicle Tunnel, and terminate any internal forces that the Vanu may have.

The New Conglomerate Commanders confirmed the strike, the Liberators were to move in immediately. The bombers assimilated into formation and prepared to drop, the Liberator crews radioed each other deciding on formation, and bomb types that would be used. It was decided that two Liberators would use 'Tank Busters' for anti-armor, and the other two would use 'Anti-Personnel' bombs for cleaning up any Vanu infantry that were unfortunate enough to walk outside during this onslaught.

The Liberators quickly approached the target zone, and slowed to bomb speed. Just as they arrived, the Vanu sent Reavers to the flight ceiling to take down the Liberators, the tailgunners of the Liberators worked in a concerted effort to take the Reavers down with relative ease. Seeing this, the Vanu had infantry suit up in Starfire MAX configs, in a last ditch effort to take down the Liberators. They stood no chance, the awaiting foot soldiers outside the Technology Plant abruptly fired Phoenix missiles into the base, quickly terminating the Starfire MAXes before they could even fire a single shot.

The Liberators were now approaching the drop zone, the bomb bay doors abruptly unlatched, and the bombing campaign of Mulac had commenced. The bombs released from the bay, exploding as they struck the once clean ground of Mulac, sending infantry flying in fragments. The bombs also struck nearby tanks, sending pieces of shrapnel and Magrider careening.

The campaign had been a success, every moving thing outside of Mulac, in the courtyard, was terminated. Infantry insertion was now in progress. The Commander hastily assessed the damage of the courtyard after the bombing campaign, and decided to send an infiltrator in first, for recon purposes.

The infiltrator suited up in his cloak suit, and activated it by inputing his empire access code, he was now completely invisible. He equipped his REK (Remote Electronics Kit), and approached the vehicular tunnel of Mulac. He quickly hacked into the IFF (Identify Friendly Foe) lock on the door, and entered.

He immediately saw an approaching Magrider, coming from the vehicle tunnel, headed outside. He radioed the Commander and notified him of the approaching Magrider. He also noticed that there was much activity within this base, it appeared they were mustering forces for retaliation. The infiltrator entered the lower vehicle terminal door to see a Command Rank 4 Vanu, shocked to see that his superior had been terminated in battle, and that battle Command now rested on his shoulders.

The infiltrator now backed away, back into the vehicle tunnel, and radioed his superior once again, "Recon one, this is Recon one reporting from the inside of Mulac", "Go ahead recon one", "I have spotted the next in command, a Vanu CR4", "You have a green light on the termination of this commander", "Roger".

The infiltrator, now high on adrenaline quickly equipped his MAG Scatter pistol, and approached the Vanu CR4, who was talking to another fellow NC operative?! Shocked to see this, the infiltrator rapidly checked the military records of this operative. He was found guilty on multiple counts of treason, his name was unknown, his only source of identification was his calling card that he left with his co-conspirators on the Vanu, a locker full of Jackhammers.

After reading the military records of this operative, the infiltrator immediately radios his Commander with this newly found information. The Commander, pleased to hear about the discovery of this operative, without giving a second thought, orders the execution of the Vanu CR4 and the operative. The infiltrator re-equipped his MAG Scatter, and slowly approached behind the still speaking Vanu CR4.

The infiltrator still had Armor-Piercing slugs in his MAG Scatter, from a previous assault on a well-armored Commander, who was in a MAX suit. He rapidly changed ammo types from AP to standard, and the NC operative realized this sound, and the coward abruptly ran in the alternate direction, heading for the stairwell, leading to the Command Console of Mulac. Keeping his cool, the infiltrator noticed the Vanu CR4 was in shock, and was wondering what had sent the operative running away.

The infiltrator grasped the pistol in preparation for the tremendous recoil of the MAG Scatter pistol, and firmly pulled the trigger, sending a barrage of shotgun pellets careening for the back of the Vanu CR4. Each pellet found their mark, striking the Vanu CR4 in the spine, laying him out on the floor, dead. Upon hearing the report of the MAG Scatter (a very distinct sound to Vanu), the entire facility was on high alert.

The infiltrator, familiar with being searched for, radioed the Commander, and gave him the word, to send in the forces.
