So on with the show.
Dropship Bravo
Mid Troposphere
1430hrs
Malachi sat and waited as the drop ship exited the atmosphere and returned to the Alpha Centauri which was on the dark side of Moon's Orbit. The injury he sustained warranted a little concern, the shard of metal was easily the size of a baseball meaning he probably wouldn't be able to run for a while.
"This is Drop-ship Bravo to the Centauri Flight Control, requesting permission to land, the Titan pilot is in need of medical treatment," said the pilot over the radio.
"Permission Granted, please proceed to Landing Bay 4, medical staff have been notified and are ready to receive the Titan Pilot," responded the Control Operator.
Malachi waited as the drop-ship began the landing procedure, it was a whole lot smoother than what he experienced from the Demeter extraction. When the drop-ship finished it's landing the hatch opened to reveal the waiting Medical Team and a stretcher.
"Alright, the patient has severe trauma to his left leg around the femur due to a piece of armour deflecting a projectile, combined with exposure to extreme cold temperatures, patient may have first degree frostbite located around the injury," said one of the Medical Officers as they lifted Malachi onto the stretcher.
Malachi felt a jab in his left arm as one of the Medical Officers injected a mild sedative into his blood stream, seconds later Malachi was out cold.
Alpha Centauri Sickbay
2 Hours Later
1630hrs
Malachi awoke to find himself in the ship's sickbay with the woman they rescued in a bed next to him.
"Sleep well?'' asked an all to familiar voice.
"Yeah I did, thanks for asking Indy," relied Malachi.
Brent stood near the door of the infirmary with his arms folded, he then walked over to his bed ridden friend and sat down in a chair.
"So, how bad is it?" asked Malachi.
"Well, the piece of shrapnel has done moderate damage to your thigh muscles, the Docs did their best but it looks like your not going to be running for at least a fortnight," replied Brent.
"Well it's better than my prediction, I thought I wouldn't run for atleast a month maybe even longer," said Malachi.
"Well, that never stopped you before, and I don't think it will now," said Brent.
"True," replied Malachi as he yanked the IV lead out of his arm and spun around to get out of the bed, he noticed is great grandfather's old walkingstick propped up against the wall next to his bed. He looked at Brent with a 'How did that get here' look on hs face.
"Jason brought it in after you came out of surgery, he figured you'd need it to move around," replied Brent.
"Figures, so has the VIP we rescued from the base said anything?" asked Malachi as he grabbed the walking stick and stood up, using the walking stick for support.
"She has not said anything since she passed out en-route to the Alpha Centauri, but she seemed to calm down after she stopped mumbling about random tech and started to sleep rather peacefully, the docs said she was just about to suffer from malnutrition and dehydration but other than that she'll make a full recovery, we'll know more once she wakes up but for now all she needs is rest," replied Brent
"Well, waiting for her to wake up won't take that long at all," said Malachi.
"Let me guess, she's already awake isn't she?" asked Brent.
"Yep," replied Malachi as he looked at the girl.
2 Minutes Earlier
Alpha Centauri Sickbay
Girl's POV
I wake up after a rather nice rest to find myself in a hospital bed, I hear two men talking.
"...all she needs is rest," said one of the men.
"Well, waiting for her to wake up won't take long at all," said the other.
"Let me guess, she's awake isn't she?" asked the man.
"Yep," replied the other looking straight at me.
Current Time
Tuatha de Danaan
Normal POV
Captain Teletha Testarossa looked over the report that was filed by Urzu 2 Melissa Mao. She was deeply concerned about what the team found when they arrived at the Amalgam base, 26 Arm Slaves destroyed one with what looks like a fist indent in the chassis, only one survivor who kept babbling about some invisible daemons in the mountains and bullet casings of unknown caliber and make. These findings deeply concerned Captain Testarossa, was there another anti-terrorist mercenary group out there and if so why hasn't she heard of them or was it something worse.
Finding out who attacked the Amalgam base now became her main objective, as she typed certain specifics from the report into her personal computer terminal.
Alpha Centauri Bridge
30 minutes later
1700hrs
Captain Adrian Rowe looked over the data from the mountain base that was already decrypted while analysists worked on the more encrypted files. The data showed Arm Slave schematics and a list of names, the names caught the Captain's attention because some of the names matched up with the names of registered Whispered individuals. Captain Rowe hoped he could get some more info once their guest woke up.
"Captain, I've got a com from the Sickbay, Lieutenant Malachi is awake and so is our guest," said an Ensign.
"Understood, contact Second-Lieutenant Brent and inform him that I'm on my way down," said Captain Rowe as he started to leave the bridge.
"Aye Sir," replied the Ensign.
Alpha Centauri Sickbay
5 minutes later
1705hrs
"And that pretty much is how you got here," said Malachi as he finished telling the girl about the Rescue Op that they pulled off to bring her here.
"Oh..., I would like to say thankyou for rescuing me and where is your brother exactly?" asked the girl.
"I'm not sure exact.." said Malachi as he was interrupted as Captain Rowe entered the room.
"CAPTAIN ON DECK," shouted Malachi as he managed to stand to his full height and gave a swift salute as Brent did the same.
"At ease, gentlemen there is now need for those formalities at the moment as you performed admirably down there in both the rescue and the intel gathering," said Captain Rowe as he turned to Malachi.
"Lieutenant Malachi James McMann, you have shown leadership, courage and the wiliness to see the mission to completion, as a result I am proud to promote you to Lieutenant-Colonel," said Captain Rowe as he saluted Malachi.
"Thankyou sir," replied Malachi as he returned the salute.
"Now miss allow me to introduce myself, I am Adrian Rowe Captain of the Alpha Centauri, the ship you are currently on," said Captain Rowe to the girl.
"Hello Captain Rowe I am Briana Mullins, but you can call me Brea," said Briana.
"It a pleasure to meet you Brea, but you don't need to call me Captain, just Adrian will do, your not a soldier so you don't need to," said Captain Rowe as he then turned to the two Titan Pilots.
"Pilots the data retrieved by Colonel Malachi has yielded some disturbing news, the group you attacked is a terrorist group called Amalgam, the are responsible for the deaths of thousands, the continuing war in the Middle East and for the kidnapping of the Whispered individuals like young Brea here," said Captain Rowe gesturing Briana.
"So, what's our next move sir, I may not be fit for ground assault but I am still fit for long-range support," said Malachi standing at attention while leaning on his walking stick.
"Good man, meet me in the War Room for Mission Briefing the other Titan Pilots for this mission will join us there," said Captain Rowe as he left the room.
"I guess we should make our way to the War Room Indy, oh yeah Brea, I'll tell Jason that your awake so he can formally introduce himself when we get back," said Malachi as the two Titan Pilots left the Sickbay.
Alpha Centauri War Room
15 minutes later
1720hrs
The Militia Titan Pilots were all waiting in their chairs with Malachi standing at the front of the room and Brent sat in the front row with Jason sitting next to him. Moments later Captian Rowe entered the room prompting a swift reaction from Malachi.
"CAPTIAN ON DECK," yelled Malachi as he gave a crisp salute as the rest of the Titan Pilots did the same.
"At ease Pilots, now I take it you've been informed about the situation that befell us after the escape from Demeter," said Captain Rowe, earning a mix of responses from the Pilots.
"Now for those of you who have families on board the Terran Civilian Fleet, rest assured there where no casualties on any of the ships in both fleets, now you have a chance to give your families a better future but you'll have to earn it for them," said Captain Rowe as the Pilots quieted down.
"Now then, we've discovered a terrorist organisation called Amalgam, who is responsible for the kidnap of numerous individuals and the murder of thousands more,"
"After reviewing the data recovered in the recent op against Amalgam by your new field commander Lt Colonel Malachi, we've discovered that they are abducting another individual within 3 hours, we will counter this with 'Operation Longshot' Colonel Malachi please explain the op and assign the teams," said Captain Rowe as Malachi limped forward.
As Malachi stepped forward the holographic display unit activated.
"Okay the VIP is being held in this skyscraper building in downtown Tokyo, in 3 hours and 10 minutes she will be relocated to an Amalgam base at an abandoned warehouse, a small Infiltration team lead by Lieutenant Indy will enter the building and secure the VIP, while a Sniper team lead by me will provide overwatch and if necessary fire support from an adjacent building," said Malachi as he pointed to the two buildings.
"Now the number of Pilots for the Infiltration team has to be around five where the Sniper team can be up to ten, any Pilots with long-range precision weapons training please report to me for selection the members of the Infiltration team will report to Indy, Titan will be available should the enemy deploy Armed Slaves, the op will commence within 3 hours and 2 minutes so those that are selected get your gear together and wait at the Dropships, Captain Rowe there all yours," said Malachi as he stepped back as Captain Rowe stepped forward.
"Well done Malachi, and so we are clear while on the ground you all take orders from Malachi unless I state otherwise, that will be all Pilots, Dismissed," said Captain Rowe as he saluted the Pilots.
The Titan Pilots all saluted the captain as some left the War Room as others approached either Indy or Malachi.
1 hour, 50 minutes later
Alpha Centauri Hangar
Malachi stood next to Dropship Bravo, leaning on it for support as the other nine Pilots started to assemble seven weilding a Longbow DMR and the other two weilding a Kraber-AP Rifle. He looked over to see Indy weilding a G4A1 Precision Rifle with an ACOG sight attachment and a Suppressor and Jason with his usual EVA-8 Shotgun with the Suppressor attachment, both of them were standing near Dropship Alpha along with three other Pilots.
After all the Pilots boardered their designated Dropship, they all strapped in as the Dropships left the Alpha Centauri and headed back down to Earth, their location this time Tokyo Japan.
Hey loyal readers sorry for the long wait I have a hard time focusing on one subject but I get there eventually, for those who are wondering, the character of this story, Malachi is based off me Michael, Jason is based off my younger brother Jacob and Brent is the actual name of one of my good friends, Captain Adrian Rowe was just a name I put together from a random Name Generator. Tune in for the next chapter Titans in Tokyo.
