UED flagship Aleksander
"Ah you have finally arrived my friend" said Admiral Gerard DuGalle to the new comer on the observation platform. "Apologies Admiral I got here as soon as I was able" replied the new addition. He stood at 7ft with a massive build. He wore a suit of all black powered armor. The armor itself was bulky but also stream lined and could only be worn by him and his four remaining teammates.
Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov turned and quickly recognized the newcomer. "A Stormtrooper" he muttered before turning towards DuGalle "not that I'm surprised to see one of them, but why was I not informed that we had one with the fleet?"
The Admiral turned to face Stukov fully before replying "They boarded an hour before we made the final jump so you were already in cryo " Stukov let the Admirals words sink in before realizing something he said. "Wait" Stukov said "You said they how many are with us?" Gerard turned back towards the battle before he replied. "Alexei what I am about to say does not leave this room understood." Stukov sensed that the Admiral was quite serious on the matter replied "understood sir."
DuGalle studied him for a second before finally speaking. "the last five." Stukov was clearly puzzled by this statement. "What do you mean by last 5 sir. Admiral DuGalle went into detail about how most of the Stormtroopers were killed when the battle station Unyielding Hierophant was destroyed by insurgents. However those Stormtroopers were later avenged during the Pacification of Tau Ceti.
As the Admiral continued to tell the tail of the Stormtroopers ST-013 once again silently mewled over the words the girl Naomi told him before her death at Tau Ceti. "Is this how you want to be remembered Stormtrooper as a monster without a soul, as a simple set of numbers?" "It doesn't matter what I want this is who I am." was all he replied. The girl simply looked at him with sympathy "No" she had said "this is what the UPL wants you to be but you I can still see theirs good in you but you refuse to see it yourself." At the time her words meant nothing to him as he systematically executed her and everyone else in the building. However in the time it took the Expeditionary Fleet to reach the Koprulu Sector he couldn't get what she said out of his mind. He couldn't help but look at some of the things he did and feel guilty for many of them.
Bringing himself out of his thoughts he continued to listen to the two Admirals. Stukov had one last question though "One thing I don't get is why did they send the last of our supersoilders with us?" Gerard merely looked at the Stormtrooper. After a few seconds of contemplation ST-013 finally responded. "Because Admiral Stukov we were created specifically to counter the Terran Ghosts, I can't tell you much more than that though."
Stukov had read the reports on the Terran Confederacy and its successor The Terran Dominions Ghost operatives and knew of their psionic abilities, and began to cross reference that with what he knew of the Stormtroopers and admitted that by sheer skill in battle a Stormtrooper was far superior. However one thing still bugged Stukov that he needed a answer for. "How can you stand up to someone like a Ghost if he can use his mind to kill you?" 013 didn't miss a beat "classified sir, but suffice to say they won't be a problem.
"All this is well and good" Admiral DuGalle spoke up, but now come over here so you two can see this."
As Admiral DuGalle was reprimanding Vice Admiral Stukov over a comment he made 013 couldn't help but feel slightly disgusted with what he was seeing.
"Admiral" said a voice over the intercom "the colonists base will be overrun in a matter of minutes shall we intervene?" "Take us into orbit Mr Malmsteen we've seen enough. " Once again 013 felt a little disgust at the Admirals not much just a little.
Admiral DuGalle turned to him "gather your men for you first mission briefing will be at 0600 dismissed."
Saluting ST-013 left the observation deck ready for another fight.
AN This chapter is shorter than most but rest assured the others will be longer.
The story itself will take place after the Brood war and will focus on ST-013 Story this was merely for some background info. As for the Stormtroopers themselves their very similar to the SPARTAN-IIs from Halo and are supersoilders like them however those are the only true similarities so basically imagine a Spartan with a soldier outfit painted Midnight Black with a black visor and theirs 013.
