Thanks for Lord Arthas is Still Alive (Great name btw) for his positive feedback and as a (kind of) respond to him i might do flashback or a chapter of Atticuses training time in the confederacy ghost program but i'm not sure yet. Also i got a bit of energy even tough i have a test/exam week at my school right now so every day i'll have a test so i (should) study for them so i'm not sure about the release of the next chapter. But yeah try to enjoy the new chapter and hopefully it won't make your eyes catch on fire or give you brain damage or something.

-At the starport-

"Excellent, just in time" Said the officer.

"You know professionals have standards" Said Atticus coldly.

"Well it seems that you have you gear but these clowns have't been able to fix the medivac rudder yet so you'll have to wait for a while for now" He said to Atticus.

"Sir, just a couple of minutes and it should be working" A mechanic said quickly.

"SHOULD? IT WILL WORK" The officer shouted back.

"Y-yes sir" He answered shuddering back.

"Good and if it isn't fixed in-" He was interrupt by an on coming call "Hmph put it on hold, i'll answer it at my personal quarters... and NEVER interrupt me again" He told his assistant who only could nod as a respond.

"And if the ghost hasn't left by the time i'll be here after the call i'll skin you mechanics. I'll also brief you when you are nearing the space station" He continued.

All that the mechanics could were able to do was gulp and try to work faster while Atticus just snickered. What originally had been an easy job (Un jamming the rudder) was now mostly a survival battle especially because they didn't have the correct tools and the medivacs that they had were an older production model, which was just a bit tougher to work with than a newer model but it didn't have the fancy boost but otherwise it was the same vehicle.

"Heh no need to hurry" Atticus said with a smile on his face.

He started to look around because of the lack of activities or marines to humor him self with. There was only a single landing pad and it was at the moment taken by the medivac he was supposed to fly out with. The building was surprisingly small thinking that ships were supposed to land there and also be stored there but then again the base wasn't large and only had a couple of it's own medivacs and some older transports because of their high cost.

Atticus saw a small unit of marines enter from another door connected to some other barracks at the base. He immediately saw a marine pointing towards and seeing that made him remember that word about things got quickly around tightly packet barracks filled with marines. He saw them come a bit closer but keep larger than normal distance from him while trying to get to the only other medivac, but he had expected such a thing happening even though he had only given the marine some nightmares and a burn mark earlier.

Next to his medivac were some boxes which had some supplies and to his surprise some widow mines too but he didn't think that they were used at his up coming mission, but it still made him wonder why they were there.

Atticus saw one of the mechanics run it to a small storage room near the larger entrance that the unit of marines had come through. A minute later he came back while pushing a large box, most likely full of tools.

He soon heard some chears from the couple of mechanics who were jumping of the medivac and shaking each others hand "Would William really have had them killed" Atticus Though to him self.

Atticus could feel the relief in the group of marines who new that Atticus might never come back. He would have wanted to say or do something but held back and kept looking to the starports roofdoor thing that just had started to open. Atticus figured that it meant that his mission was aproved again and he was correct.

"Sir, if you need any supplies we have some at those crates after that could you please then enter the medivac and start your mission" said a man who had just come out of the command room.

Atticus looked at him for a couple of seconds scanning his face and stance, he was clearly uncomfortable but kept it to him self pretty well. Atticus was nearly impressed that he could just stand there while a ghost was silently looking back at him. He gave the man a nod and started to walk towards the crates while the man responded. "I'll also be the person to brief you on the way to the station because the commander has some urgent work"

"Hey someone who doesn't hate or isn't afraid of me" Atticus thought but the also said "Boy, what's you name"

"Jake" He said with some hesitation.

"Jake then... also when you're briefing me" He paused to pick up a couple of C150 mags for the pistol he had politely (not) taken "And don't try to make my mission seem any prettier than it is, just tell me everything i know my chances" Atticus continued as he stepped inside the medivac.

He could only hear a sigh and "Yes sir" from Jake as he started walking towards the command room leaving Atticus only to wait his pilot to take him to the station.

"Well at least i don't have to listen to that shit head Williams voice ever again" he thought with a smile creeping to his face.

-A couple of moments later-

The medivac pilot came hurriedly to the medivac and sat her seat. "Hey who're you i wasn't briefed, i was just told that i'd have to take you to a station, i'm Kelly" she said with curiosity.

"Well i think you know who i am don't you" Atticus said coolly.

Cold sweat came to her back when she heard him say that and yes she knew who he was and had also heard what had happened just earlier. Atticus wasn't a very good telepath (They can read other peoples thoughts and feelings ect.) but he could feel her feelings and knew that she wanted to ask something from him.

"Just ask what you want, you're just being obvious and also i won't do anything to you" He said to her.

She sighed and said "Can you really have feelings towards her cus' your a ghost and all you know"

"Really the best that she could come up with" he thought "Well i don't know, neither do i know why i did gave her a kiss" He said.

"Oh so you have feelings" she said suggestively.

"You want me to reconsider my first statement" he said to her trying to sound cold.

"Sure you would" She said calling his bluff.

"Well i'm still gonna go with, i don't know" He said quickly to her.

"You know she's still bright as a tomato. Also it'a extremely rare for a medic and a ghost to be together" She said with confidence.

"Well we aren't. She only helped me earlier and-"

"Yeah that's what they always say" she interrupted him

But then she was interrupted "Angel 2 you are clear to take off. Climb to altitude of 200. You'll be accompanied by the 5th aircav. viking unit then start heading towards waypoint alpha in vedge formation" Jake said from the aircontrol.

Atticus sighed but was happy as she stopped cooking him with questions and had to start paying attention else where. He thought "Do i have feelings towards her... i don't really know do i" he snickered.

"Take off" he heard her say waking him again to the real world.

"Ahh at least i've got some time to relax" He thought to him self.

"Hey sir, I'm gonna brief you now" Jake said making Atticus grumble as he's plan was ruined.

"Just call me Atticus, no need for ass kissing" He answered back.

"Okay sir. Uhm i mean Atticus. Uh when you land on the station omega 3 you should have a banshee that's prepared with some special thrusters waiting for you at landing pad 2. You'll fly under the call sign "Kalitka 1" oh and also set you radio frequency on 127.500. We specially prepared it for this mission for faster transmissions. When you start to close on the leviathan you'll lure some zerg out and try to fake a mechanical failure, then put autopilot on and eject and enter the leviathan trough the area were the flyers came out while the banshee gets out. You'll also get a special suit to put on when your at the station it'll allow you to have oxygen and stay cloaked, also it'll give you some movement in space during the time your getting closer to the leviathan without the banshee. As for exiting the leviathan you go to a zerg landing pod and launch it with a electrical pulse from your suit. Rest is up to you, and we also don't have info about the where she'll be or the layout of the leviathan" Jake said nervously.

"AND HOW IS THAT EVEN A PLAN" Atticus raged to the radio. "It's all just assumptions that the zerg will do what we want" he continued fuming.

"Well you told me just to tell me the crude facts" Jake defended.

"That's still shady as fuck tough and seems that they want me killed rather than the queen of blades killed" Atticus said with frustration. "Ugh well i don't really have a choice now do i... and i'm lucky to even get inside and is that suit even tested" He asked.

"Weeeeeeeellll... it's kinda still in tes-"

"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK, WHO PLANNED THIS" Atticus fumed.

"Uhm it was Willi- um uh i mean our commander" Jake said cautiously.

"i'll rip him to pieces. And please tell my regards to him" He said filled with rage.

Atticus was ready kill to William. He hadn't even really planed the mission but it seemed that he had rather just watched die hard 413 and thought that the plan and actions were realistic and could be used as a spec ops plan. That man was anymore only a joke in Atticuses mind, a sick, sadistic and twisted one too.

Atticus didn't hear a respond so he figured that he'd be alone at least until the station. He started looking around the fairly small ship. It was allot smaller than a drop ship it was based on but it was faster too so it did work. Inside the white bay he saw some drugs and surgery tools but figured that they were rarely used because the medivac did have a laser scapel what usually did most of the healing even though it was at times used as an operating room. At the other side of the bay he also saw some stimpacks.

"For those who don't have the balls to just to stand and fight" He thought and snickered.

"Hold on" She paused.

"Hmph hopefully well get a different conversation this time" Arricus hoped.

"Were gonna go trough some rough areas soon and also i'm going to increase the trust so we'll get to omega station one day" She said smilingly. (Well he didn't know about it)

-15 minutes later. Nearing station: Omega 3-

"This is Angel 2. Requesting landing. How copy." He heard her saying to the aircontrol.

"Copy that. Your clear to land at landing pad 4. Approach using lane 3" Answered the aircontrol.

"Copy that. Angle out" She said

"We're gonna be down just in a couple of minutes" She said to him not wanting to piss him off remembering hes last conversation with Jake

"Ok, are you gonna stay here or something because i'm gonna still need an evac when i'm coming out of the leviathan" He asked.

"Sorry love boy, i'm gonna make a couple more runs and pick up some infantry from the ground and bring them here. I just got a message that the dominion might try to do a small boarding party. Apparently if you'll be alive long enough" She told him.

"But it'll just be a suicide mission for them" Atticus said to her confused.

"Well i heard that they're some inexperienced convicts anyway so it won't be much of a loss to anyone" She told him calmly. "Apparently they'll be going there with some ships that are being tested so but no one knows anything else.

"Well at least that'll help, better than nothing i guess" He said.

"Good to hear that your on better mood" She said.

"Well yeah until i die" He grumbled back.

"Well, get ready for landing and also hold on" She told him as she started heavy turning to approach lane 3

-2 minutes later-

Atticus stepped out of the medivac but then remembered and walked back to the pilot door and said to her. "Tell Samatha to contact me soon as she can at 127.500 frequency... please" He asked her sincerely.

Even though she liked to tease people (And had the balls to do it with a ghost) she noticed the sincerity in his voice and stance and just responded "sure" Atticuse just nodded to and started to walk back towards the command room. He soon saw her medivac disappear as the landing bay door closed.

As he walked trough another door 2 marines came up to him with their weapons at their hands and told him that they would escort him to the command room. Atticus sighed and being uncomfortable having 2 unknown armed marines next to him so he pick up his c-10 from his back and carry it in his hands. This of course made the marines give him some distance that he wanted.

"Did you really scare the piss from that one marine at the base" One of the marines asked with curiosity in his voice.

Not being in the mood for talking he simply replied. "Oh so you want a psi blade trough your suit and to your throat too"

This made the marine shiver and cautious reply "N-no sir" Well because no even wanted a psi blade at their throat. Every one had seen what a zealot could the lucky ones had seen a dark templar and lived to tell about one, so naturally no one wanted to have an "accident" with a ghost.

After a short but quiet walk they arrived at the command room door. As Atticus stepped trough the door he noticed that the two marines turned around and started to guard the hallway but also at the same time he could feel the relief at the other marine as he only needed to stand at the other side of the door.

Inside he saw another 2 men but they seemed to officers from their outfit which was rare sight on a space station with no real marine or troop deployment. The other one stood up from his chair and walked for a handshake to which Atticus responded with a shake as he put his C-10 back at his back but kept his mask on.

"My name is Athan but call me what you want" He said to Atticus who just nodded back at him.

"So you might have heard that you might get some marine back up, but this'll happen if you manage to get to the center of the leviathan and stay alive there. This'll be a sacrificial team who are allowed to retreat only when the distraction is done, they'll buy you a minute or 2 so be quick" Athan said.

"Also your banshee is ready for take off, when you have fitted you suit. It's also improved suit so you'll be able take of the small reactor and place it on you back when you land in the leviathan making your mission a bit easier. But now if would please put on the suit, it's in that room" he said pointing to a door next to the large screen which was in front of the table they were standing next to"

All Atticus did was nod and walk to the room. When he saw the suit he suprised. It was almost like and inflatable marine power armor but also it didn't look uncomfortable which was new when compared to his ghost suit. The small room didn't really have anything there to his surprise well other than just a garment rack and some paintings about marines. The suit it self was gray and also contained some air canisters but he also had to carry a couple at his back. In all honesty the suit looked kinda stupid but it was space worthy and it could cloak neither did Aticcus have an alternative so he just came out of the room after he had put it on. Also he had to place a special tube going from his mask to an air canister at his back just in case .

Atticus was very surprised as the nearly shoved him to the banshee and told him to start his mission. The Banshee had no weapon loadout but it had been fitted with extra boosters so he had longer range and more speed but also enough energy to get close to the leviathan with out geting spotted. He was ready, even though it was an impossible mission.

"God speed" Were Athans last words for him.

-Some minutes later-

"This Kalitka. Requesting take of clearance" Atticus said.

"Take of permission granted. Head to warp zone 1 and head towards bearing 200. Rest of the number are already in the warp computer. He heard someone say from the command room trough his radio.

"Roger that" He responded as he switched his radio from ground frequency to space and also setting it to 127.500.

"Hmm the warp should take 17 minutes. If i'm allive for 25 they'll probably send the marines in. But i won't really trust them with that either" He thought until he saw the 2 medivacs and some of the "new" ships but to Atticus they looked like beeffed up APOD transports (They had been decommissioned for a while already)

"Well better to head out before they get suspicious" he thought to him self as he started to align towards the leviathans location.

He let the autopilot do a more careful alignment towards his target. All he could hope was for Samatha to be quick enough to make him know that at least have his family alive.

With those thoughts he heard the autopilot say "Warp in 5,4,3,2,1... warp"

-16 minutes and 43 seconds later-

"Man i hate that" Atticus said to himself.

"Atticus..." He heard Samantha say

"Why do you have that low power singal" He questioned her thinking that she would have been at the base.

"I'm on some station with some marines. It's just some training" She replied unsurely.

"Ok. I only have a while Samantha tell me... please" he begged.

"Sigh. Your mother and sister were sent to... new folsam... 2 years ago. I'm sorry Atticus." She muttered sounding upset.

"Your closer to the leviahan than we thought that you'd be and they have detected you because of the heat from the backup thrusters. EJECT NOW" He heard Athan shout.

"Asha... Alex..." Atticus muttered.

"Atticus eject" Athan was shouting

"Dammit" He said

Atticus could only mutter to him self until Athan manually jettisoned him from the banshee and activated his suits cloak.

His mind was empty and he was drifting trough space with tears in his eyes.

"I'm... i'm sorry. I couldn't protect you" He muttered as corruptors flew inches away nearly ripping his suit, blowing up his banshee and leaving him unconscious drifting trough space and towards the leviathan...

-End note-

Sorry for the shorter chapter. I'll try to make next one a bit more alive and also a bit longer but i hope that this'll be enough for now and yeah it's a bit of a cliffhanger (At least i hope so). Also i've been listening quite allot of terran sound tracks from SC 1 and SC 2 and they are just so good and they kinda fit the theme too i guess, also the ones that are guitar only are really nice too. Hopefully you had at least some feeling in the end of this chapter though, but i'm not that good at writing though but hopefully.
