The aura in the room was tense. At the head of the table was General Ardara, Head of Command of the Nikkos Coalition. To my right Hilde sat, the Squadron Leader of the 119th Shadowings. And my left sat Signa, the Head of Intelligence of the Nikkos Coalition. And me, Ash, an expandable espion (espionage operative) in the midst of significant individuals, what the heck am I doing here?

Ardara: Signa, please proceed...
Signa: Yes sir, espions in the nexus canyon have spotted high activity Lirit Insurgent activities. We suspect that they have received a new cache of weapons which would pose imminent danger to our forces at the Delta Outpost. I request permission to send in a task force to destroy the threat at once!
Ardara: Are you certain on the information you acquired?
Signa: Most certainly sir, my infiltrators have deciphered a recent coded transmition of theirs to the Torg Arms Corp. This is what we managed to decode...

At this point, Signa passed an envelope to General Ardara with the words "COVERT INFOMATION" imprinted on it. As Ardara scanned the document, Signa eyed his every expression. My eyes were fixed on them, not daring to move... Ardara then slammed the document onto the table.

Ardara: These ruthless bastards, I have perceived wrongly. Signa, give me the outline of your plan and how you intend to use him

His eyes shifted to me, he stare was that of a war-hardened veteran, eyes that struck ear into any green troop.

Signa: Sir... we plan to...

6397: Hellhole
Location: Nexus Canyon - Lirit Territory

I regained consciousness, looking around I was on a tree branch. Where the heck was I? The last thing I remembered was getting into a drop pod. I then remembered… shit it was my 1st mission, turning my head I saw silhouettes of men on the opposite branch
“Sir, he’s waking up.”
Hearing that I knew I was with my squad, the 18th Epsilon Rangers, I tried to orient myself again, checking my gear on me, my Plasma Pistol PB-9,

Echoes of booms were heard in the background... that was the signal.
Me: Sir that's the signal, 119th has begun the bombing of Nexus Canyon Major, Delta Company have begun ground assault of Lirit east front. We have ETA 2 hours before retrieval comes.
Kyros: You heard the ass, let’s move out ladies!

"Bastard.... it's Espions not ass..." i thought in my head. Reeves slid down the tree, away from the safety of the foliage cover. He was our scout... soon he'll give us the all clear signal or at least that was what I hoped. With me in the canopy were Kyros, our Squad Leader, Sondra and Conor, all rangers, elite foots soldiers of the Nikkos Forces, who show little respect for an espion...

"Clear" the resounding word came from below. I descended onto the knee-high grass cover below. Sarge gathered us, taking out his holograph.

Kyros: We are about half a click from the side entrance 7A, we have no information on the inside layout since intelligence has been insufficient. After we have broken in, remain on high alert, your negligence will kill you. Make sure this ass is safe at all times…

Me: Sir, with all due respect I am more than what you think of Sir. I believe your duty is to escort me to the side entrance 7A and should it prove difficult for me to enter, create a distraction, and after I have completed my mission, escort me back to drop-off point for retrieval?

Kyros: Listen kid, while you are with us I am in charge, so STFU and let me tell you our bloody situation. After our pods landed, we faced heavy fire and you wimp blacked out on landing. We had to keep you safe carrying you around and I am afraid we are currently low on ammunition saving you sleeping ass. Unlike you we use slug weapons not plasma weapons and we have a limited amount of ammunition we can carry! You green fag, I am sure this is your 1st mission and we have been suffering from your bloody newbie mistakes! If you expect to get out of here, we need to acquire arms or I am sure as Hell you sorry ass will be there.
