Dylan was carried off in a stretcher as soon as the squad got to base. Lina started to walk away "Aren't you gonna thank him he did get injured trying to help you." Martha asked

"He got injured because of his own mistake" Lina shot back.

"Wow I was right I thought the first time I saw you you where a cold bitch guess I was right and then some" Martha said as she walked away from Lina disgusted at her teammates action.

A few hours later

"Martha Becker and Daichi murakami to the commanders offices."

Martha and Daichi approached the commander he was a tall man with black hair and green eyes and quite thin He wore glasses and was looking at paperwork "You needed me commander?" Daichi and Martha said at the same time.

"Ah yes I was just looking at reports from your training and your field report to see what role I should give you Martha you seem to do well with long range weapons so you will be a sniper and Daichi you are a heavy weapons expert so you can deal with that." The commander explained "this also means you will both be promoted to corporal."

Daichi was ecstatic he just got promoted while Martha "You've got to be shiting me" was more shocked.

"Now dismissed vahlan is meeting with me soon." The commander said

Daichi and Martha walked out as vahlan walked in

"Commander What should I start researching? There weapons are unlike anything I've seen but the materials could also help us make better armor and of course there's always the subject of Autopsies." vahlan said that last one with a small bit of excitement showing in her eyes.

"I feel it would be best to Research there weapons for the time being" the commander said causing vahlan to nod.

Martha and Daichi headed back to the barracks seeing Lina exercising on the way there Punching a punching bag hard enough it was stressing the chain.

Lina gave them a dirty look and they avoided her Instead opting to rest for a but until the next abduction.

Nothing had happened over the next Five days as the soldiers got use to the base.

Daichi was talking to Another solder Eva malakhove a Russian girl with red hair done in a bun and Green eyes "so your Dylan's replacement for the time being?"

Eva nodded "yep I look forward to working with you" she grabbed Daichis hand and gave it a strong shake Which Daichi wasn't expecting due to the fact she didn't look like she had an ounce of muscle on her. That was when an Alert rang out which caused Eva to smile "Yes my first mission!" The girl yelled excitedly running to the hanger to deploy Daichi running after her after grabbing his heavy machine gun

"Commander what should we do there are 3 Abductions and we can only respond to one. The people we help are willing to offer rewards so what should we do"? Bradford questioned

"Well as much as I hate to say it we need engineers so since Houston is willing to give us some we need to respond to them." the commander said regrettably

Bradford nodded and sent the news to the pilot

Lina walked up to the sky ranger with an emergency medikit on her side her rifle gripped in her hand. "Great why did they give the selfish bitch the medikit" Martha said mockingly while loading her sniper rifle. "Maybe because I'm competent and your an idiot" Lina shot back.

"Says the girl who didn't kill a single alien on our first Mission together."

"I'll make sure to make up for that this time" Lina Said checking her assault rifle.

Daichi and Eva showed up to the girls arguing silently getting on and waiting for take off.

A few hours later

The sky ranger landed at a construction zone.

Operation Driving heat

START

A building was to the right of the squad Eva moved up to it while Martha prepared to set up on the roof. Lina moved up with Eva And Daichi moved up to open the door "don't duck up this time" Lina sneered as Daichi simply shrugged it off and opened the door moving into the building. He saw a bunch of The grey aliens in the construction sight one ran out of sight and the other hid behind one of the vehicles Daichi fired at the sectoid but the Vehicle blocked the shots from hitting it. Lina quickly moved up to fire at the sectoid behind the vehicle missing as well while Eva pushed up behind a desk and readied to shoot on anything that moved she got lucky and the other sectoid that moved out of sight ran to some cover but Eva stopped him with a quick burst of fire "FUCK YEAH" she yelled out smiling but 2 alien's ran up attracted by the gunfire distracting Lina enough that the alien behind the vehicle was able to blast her with steaming hot plasma "SHIT IM HIT" Lina yelled. One of the alien's dropped down hiding behind some logs while the other sectoid hid behind a container.

BOOM Martha sent a perfect shot at one of the alien's that hid behind the log while Lina fired at the alien that shot her her wound throwing off her aim.

"Fuck this" Daichi said sick of trying to shoot a sectoid behind good cover He fired his rocket and blew up both the vehicle and Sectoid leaving 1 sectoid left. Said sectoid promptly ran away while Eva moved up to some cover outside the building while Lina pulled back outside of the building and patched herself up "Fuck I can't believe I made such a rookie mistake" Lina whispered to herself. Martha moved up hesitantly knowing she isn't gonna get a shot On the sectoid since it ran away. Daichi moved up to a wall of the entrance of the construction zone seeing the sectoid which promptly fired on him and pinned him down "shit I'm pinned" Daichi yelled. "I got it" Lina said as she moved up and threw a grenade at the sectoid killing it. Lina moved back to where Daichi was before watching for a single alien to fire while Daichi moved up to another silver canister valhen said to watch out for.

Eva moved to a blue wall where she can support both Daichi and Martha. Everybody reloaded and got ready for the next engagement deciding to let the sectoids come to them. soon Daichi saw one blasting at it and falling back while Lina, Martha, and Eva moved to better locations around the construction yard to support him. However a sectoid saw Martha knowing she had a bad shot she also quickly fell back. Daichi moved to support her while Eva and Lina watched for alien's. The alien moved to a container in front of Martha but not the same one she was hiding behind Martha decided to take the shoot and hit him despite the bad angle killing the sectoid.

"One remaining" Daichi shouted as Lina moved up to try and spot him. She saw him and with no hesitance and precise aim Killed her first alien.

Operation driving heat end.
