Chapter 1 – The game plan.

"BZZZZZRRRRRRRRTTTTTT!" I wake up to my awfully annoying alarm clock going off to see that it is 04:30 hours, time to meet the team. I throw on my combat gear, a bulletproof vest underneath my usual white combat skirt and small jacket, and I proceed to the armory. Ruby said in the meeting that we would be using the most technologically advanced gear in this mission, apart from our usual weapons of course. "Good morning guys." I say. "Good morning, Weiss" says Ruby cheerfully.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business. As you will see behind you, each of you has a crate with your name on it. Inside you will find a Mark 3 Radiation Suit that also happens to be shielded battle armor. Also you will find a silenced .45 caliber handgun with an NV sight, 4 identical, 500 round G18 Machine pistols with laser sights on them, 2 silenced UMP 4 SMGs, an MSAR-21 assault rifle with an RDS, and a silenced SASR sniper rifle with a large silencer. Also you will find bags containing the various ammunition types." Ruby informs us. "How in the name of god do you expect us to carry all of this stuff?!" asks Blake. "The armor is load bearing. Hydraulics in the armor essentially nullify the weight. And before you ask, yes the armor is light as a feather as well. Don't ask me how, just be grateful that it does." says Ruby. Puzzled, I go to my crate to find that the armor is not only light, but also almost skin-tight, a jet black body suit, with white lines going up certain areas, marking where the armor plates are. As I don the suit, I become aware of just how tight the armor is, as it immediately formed to my figure, making me look almost robotic. I look at the others, and they look just as robotic, but the lines on the suits are different colors. Red for Ruby, yellow for Yang, and deep violet for Blake.

"We should get to Stevens in the drop ship; he's probably finished spinning up the engines." I say. Stevens has been our pilot ever since we got to New Beacon. He has piloted us out of countless sticky situations and we trust our lives to him. "Right, let's go team." says Ruby. As we approach the V-6 "Viper" Class drop ship, nicknamed "The Fang", we see that it has been painted completely black, and all lights have been turned off. "What is this, it's supposed to be a RED ship, not a BLACK ship." I say. "It's only a holographic difference; it can be changed back at the touch of a button. It's black right now because of the need for stealth in this mission." says Stevens. "Alright gang, load up, it's going to be a LONG flight." says Blake. A 1-day flight, is not a big deal, just tiring, we have no room to train, all we can do is talk or sleep. The latter is usually preferred. As I get comfortable, I notice that Ruby has climbed onto the same bench just below me and has rested her head on my chest. "May as well sleep, we got nothin' to do for the next 24-ish hours" says Yang. "Will do" I say as I rest my head on top of Ruby's. I feel her cuddle up against me as I fall asleep.
