(Chapter One: First Contact)
It was a Rainy dark cloudy night. The ground was soaked and the grass gloomed, the moon light reflexed off elongated iced puddles. Light breezy blow swiftly throughout bitter night. Moon light was a blinding light blue. "It Pretty dark for 1900 hours do ya think Rook?", said Lex.
Static*static*static ripped throughout the coms. A whisper came from Rook, "You see any movement?" "No ma'am" mutter, Lex. Rook stare down her SRS99C-S2 Anti-Matériel matte black sniper rifle overlooking Alpha squad, the night vision lends flashed green bright light into her eye coming from a flickering headlight of a overturned mangled rebel warthog(human combat vehicle). About one click from an abandoned rusty ONI facility.
"Come in alpha squad", "Do you read!?" Said Rook. Nothing but silence for about a min, Lex swallowed. Rook knew he was scared and doubting, she rolled over from her belly to her right side to unpocket a water canteen. While still gripping the handle of her SRS, "here you go", she said handing Lex the canteen.
"I'll save it for later but thanks" said Lex, still nervous.
Rook rolled back too her stomach swiftly with her feet spread, assuming the sniper position. She took a huge gulp and held her breath, suddenly catching a pain in her chest that ran down to her stomach. While anxiety was building up the way it does, when reaching the top of the peak of a rollercoaster before you drop.
"Did you see something move?", She said. Lex gazing threw his scout binoculars, "No ma'am that a negative", Lex snickered. Rook sweared her eyes wasn't playing tricks on her. Seemingly to seeing the elongated puddles were moving. She cocked her head sideways, exiting her sight from the scope. Only to rub her eyes from what she thought she saw.
Lex looked over at her and said, "You going senile on me" laughing at Rook.
The coms static and finally their was a voice, "This is Alpha Squad do you read me?". "This is Jihaud, no contact with any rebels down here". "It clear, area has been swept!".
"Clear right" "Clear Left" said other soldiers of Alpha squad.
"Room Clear" shouting Ramirez in the background,
As Harris followed.
"Copy that Cap" said Rook, still having this terrible feeling inside her from what she thought she had seen.
After Alpha Squad was done with they're sweep. They made they're way out of the ONI facility, approaching the overturned mangled warthog. Laying at the front entrance in the overgrown courtyard. Then suddenly a crack of lighting rippled through the sky. Rupturing and shaking the terrain. Out of nowhere there was a downpour of rain.
