The briefing
This idea just popped into my head so i though i would write while its still there :)
Summary: Its 2019, The rest of Max's unit were killed while on a mission, Lydecker gives her a choice, be reassigned to another unit, or go on a deep over mission to bring down a terrorist organistion
She could she the perimeter fence ahead of her, they were really going to make it she saw Ben who was ahead of her leap over the fence and gracefully land with a cat like stance before disappearing into the darkness.
"Uhh" she moaned as a taser gun jolted thousands of volts of electricity through her body. She fell onto the cold hard ground shaking violently in the freezing snow. She tried to fight it with everything she had but it was useless. Everything was starting to black out as the pain kept getting worse. The only part of her that still worked were her ears. She could hear footsteps approaching, too silent and stealthy to be a guard.
"They've got Max, we have to help her"
"No, Zack said we have to keep going no matter what, she will slow us down"
"You can go but I'm not leaving Max behind!"
"Jondy!Help me!" Max sobbed. She could feel life draining from her body "Help" she felt so cold and helpless.
Jondy crept up behind the guard and cleanly snapped his neck before he even knew she was there "Come on Max we are getting out of here"
The last sound Max heard was a single gunshot from far in the distance
"COLONEL LYDECKER SIR" Max shouted instinctively along with a salute as he entered the briefing room
"At ease soldier" Max noticed that Lydecker seemed very casual, he didn't even bother returning the salute or even using her designation. Lydecker took a sip of water before continuing "As you know the rest of your unit were all killed in your last assignment in Panama. You were very lucky to survive yourself. How are your injuries?"
"completely recovered, I'm fighting fit sir" This was all too weird for Max Lydecker was almost treating her like, well like a person, not a soldier.
"Good to hear. I asked you to come here as you are being re-assigned to another unit" Max had being waiting for this, nothing could ever replace her old unit. Ben, Zack, Tinga, Jondy, Krit, Syl, and all of the others. "However, with the loss of your old unit recently i understand that you may not want to to placed in another unit just yet" What! Lydecker more or less just admitted that emotions do exist? "Which is why i am also giving to the choice to go on a long term mission 452"
"Can I have more details of the mission Sir?"
"Its a simple infiltration mission. There is a terrorist organization operating around the Seattle area, we want you to infiltrate the group and go in undercover to gather as much intell as possible, so what will it be 452?"
"I'd like to be assigned to the mission sir"
"Very well" Lydecker opened a file cabinet, pulled out a file and spread it out and spread it out over the table "The terrorist organization go by the name of the S1W they are a threat to both Manticore and this Country. We believe they are responsible for the bombings of Chicago last month. Currently we only know of 3 members, Alexander burrows, Asha Barlow, and a man who goes by the name of blade" Lydecker pointed to a photo of each of these people. We also have reason to believe that the S1W are connected to this man" Lydecker pulled out another file with grainy picture of a pair of eyes on a red and white background, with the words 'streaming freedom video' below "He goes by the name of eyes only, what little we do know about him is covered in this file. We want to to Infiltrate The S1W and gather enough intell so we can bring them down, as well as finding the identity of the cyber terrorist 'Eyes only'" Lydecker paused.
"For this mission to be a success you will need to integrate yourself into society, which means you will need to socialise with people make 'friends' get a job. We have provided you with a basic an identity, you will be known as Sandra Fielding, you have recently moved to Seattle from San Diego, where you previously worked as pharmacist. We have provided you with accommodation and a list of suitable places where you should get a job. Everything else is in this file. "Is there anything you want to ask soldier?"
"When will I be deployed sir?" Lydecker handed the file to Max
"Tomorrow at 6:00 AM, I expect you to be ready"
"Yes sir" Max saluted before turning and walking out the door.
