Starcraft: Ghost Squad
Summ: Lieutenant John Greg and his squad undertake a dangerous mission when they mount an attack on the zerg world of Char. On the molten planet, they discover something that will alter their lives and beliefs forever.
Chapter 1: First Strike
My squad and I are sitting in a dropship. Not much room in here, but it's all we have. Along with my squad of five (including me), there are three others who are under my command for this mission. They are Firebats, soldiers of the Terran Dominion who use arm-mounted flamethrowers to support their Marine comrades, like my squad. I am a Ghost. I've been conditioned to use my telepathic powers effectively. I can cloak, and I'm equipped with a canister rifle. My name is John Greg.
The pilot's voice blares from the cockpit. "Five seconds to dirt, boys. Taking heavy fire from those nasty zerg guns, so we'll just drop a little… There!"
The hatch opens. I cock my rifle and yell "Gogogo!" My squad is out shooting at zerglings who've run up for an attack. Nasty little dinosaurs, those zerglings. One of the Firebats swings his flamethrower and clubs a zergling senseless. Then he torches it.
I fire my canister rifle and hit a zergling in its ugly face. I see other Marines shooting zerg scum. After we've dispersed the zerglings, the hydralisks slither up. A hydralisk is essentially a snake with a vicious dinosaur head with spikes sticking out the sides.
We move our way forward, shooting zerg until we meet up with the officer in charge. He points us at a gathering of zerg and yells "Take that ugly nest of buzzards out!"
"Yes, sir!" we respond, and then we move out to meet the enemy.
