Militia Force
Chapter 2-Day 1
We had just landed on our designated planet. I looked at Adam and he shot me a look back but with confidence. I honestly never got how he could remain so calm and collected during missions. As the Hopper, our ship, smoothly and quietly landed I strapped my 5-foot 1 inch long barrel minigun on my back, it's 3 inches bigger than me. My dual Campton pistols in their holsters and my F86B 95 MPB assault rifle in its magnetic holster across my chest and carried with me my BATTER single tube missile launcher.
The goal of the mission was to collect certain rebel data on the mainframe at this base and make way with two hostages for extra info.
As we started into the woods I looked back at the Hopper. It was about 40 feet long with a circle-ish front and square-ish back along the back were six thrusters and where there could be a seventh thruster in the middle is where the entrance was. The ship could hold up to 10 people, excluding the pilot and co-pilot and still hold its own in a battle like a full-fledged single person fighter.
Now we were about 200 feet away from the base. "Sara," Adam said all of a sudden, "you sure about this plan? You sure you can do this on your own?" I scowled at him and replied, "Of course I can! What do you think I am, some sort of amateur rookie on a practice mission?" Even with his tectatanium helmet on I could see that he was doing his silent laughter and then I turned away and stalked off toward the base. Fifteen minutes later I had managed to sneak past all the guards and get in the base. Ha ha, I thought as I entered, Adam worries way too much about me, even though he is a year older than me he thinks I'm an amateur. But I've learned to live with it.
As I crossed countless hallways I made it through to the mainframe silently taking out any guards in the way. Infiltrating is the easy part, I said to myself, the hard part is when you get what you need, then they know your there. According to the map I was about ten hallways away from the mainframe. Now's when I should tell Adam, so he won't worry and mess up the mission.
. " 'K Adam, I'm in and entering the radio silent zone." I said, then I waited for the reply. "OK Sara just be careful we may have good gear but I can't help you in there physically or informingly got it?" "Yea I got it. Jeez you would think I'm on my first mission the way you act." I still can't believe he's treating me like this in the middle of the mission; it's just like him to act like this. "I'm just saying I want you out of there in one piece not coming back looking like Swiss cheese," he said but that's when I entered the zone and couldn't make any more smart remarks back at him.
I made my way through the halls and noticed there were no guards in these halls, that got me curious as to why that was but I pushed that aside and kept moving forward. I finally found the mainframe in the middle of the near two mile long base, inserted the memory core and the download commenced. The download finished after 2 minutes and as I pulled it out the alarms activated and a warning sign came down saying, "Experimental subject released all personal evacuate!"
That's when I figured out why no guards were at these halls. There was something in here that no one wanted to be near and now I possibly have to fight it. I hurried through the grand mesh of halls and tried contacting Adam but no response. They must have jammed the communications in the entire facility, I thought. I was twenty halls away when I found IT. I just knew that the thing in front of me had to be the experiment yet I was shocked to see it was human but wearing something on it. I used my new tectatanium helmets functions to scan him and I was shocked.
There were to gloves on both his hands and boots on his feet. Connected to the gloves and boots were wires. The wires then connected to something on his back. Along his spinal cord there was a length of metal where all the wires connected and it was covering his whole spine. The metal resembled a faint glow which is unmistakably noticed as tectatanium. I knew this was going to be a threat but this was an experiment I don't know what it's capable of. I took my assault rifle and fired.
As I fired the experiment moved faster than my eyes could reason with and next thing I knew is that he was behind me. I shot again relieving the whole clip of ammo but yet again he made his move. Moving faster than anyone could imagine a human being go all of a sudden I felt a huge pain across my body, right below my chest area, I turned to look to see he had a blade and for some reason it had blood on it. I was too afraid to look down at me but that didn't stall my opponent. In less time that my brain can process, he moved again slamming my entire right side into the wall. I felt his hand leave the grasp of my helmet and then wooziness filled my head and my vision blurred. Just then I heard the sound of him taking out his blade, Great, I thought, he's not finished with me yet. In less than a second my entire left side went numb and wet. I unstuck myself from the wall finally, unstrapped my minigun and fired at over 200 bullets per second, but it wasn't enough.
The experiment then said, "Play time is over. Now it's time to die!" I was frantic. That's when I pulled out my only EMP grenade and smoke grenade and all I heard was my voice screaming "NOOOOOOO!"
I used this diversion to get away and looked at my map which for some reason was static every so often. Hallway 9, hallway 8, hallway 7… I was almost out, almost to safety but my vision started to turn a bit red as I felt something run down my forehead. I shook it off but then my vision blurred again. Hallway 1 and made it! I ran out of the building full strength, turned and saw Adam.
I looked at him and through my vision I saw enough that I saw him actually scared. Something must've happened to me with these injuries but all I felt was a bunch of cuts and a maybe bruised head. But then I realized that it would take more to scare him than that. Before I asked anything else I told him, "Adam! We have to get out of here n-…" But before I could finish my sentence my head started to pound like hell breaking loose then I fell to my knees. After that my vision finally gave way and then I blacked out.
I barely woke up to find myself strapped into the Hopper. I heard the engines but it was silent. We must be in the light particle drive, I thought. Then Adam came in surprised to see me awake. Before he could speak I said, "Hold out your hand." I listened to my own voice sounding so weak but he reluctantly held out his hand without saying anything. I then put the memory core in his hand and very weakly said, "Mission accomplished." I gave a brief weak smile but then I silently fell into the grasp of unconsciousness again. The last thing I heard before I was completely out was Adam saying. "You're gonna be all right." That's when I lost every trace of my senses that I had, until I would wake up again.
