~*Note*~ (this is to benefit both Jan Girl and ppl like her ^_~) ALL of fate is told from Jessie's point of view. Or I should say it's from her future self's point of view. When Fate is finished, Jace, Zeek, and Shane's will take there turns telling the story.)~*End Note*~
"Attention!" General Traker ordered. The four of us had just gotten there just in time.
I glanced around, it looked like their seventy or more soldiers standing at attention outside the officers quarters. "We've learned that the Yeerks set up a small mobile missile installation only fourteen miles east of our camp. They revealed their position approximately two days ago, in a surprise attach on our arriving recruits." He glanced at us. "However, we believe this wasn't what they're original purpose for the installation was. Stevens!"
A man who was in his late thirties stepped up in front of the group.
"As you all know, a solar generated force wall surrounds this camp." As he talked a 3D picture of the camp appeared in front of him, it was a couple of feet in diameter and about a foot in height. A blue dome around the image showed were the force wall was. "If this force wall was hit with enough force in a single designated spot..." A small red dot flashed on the dome. "The structure would become unstable and send a power surge back to our generators... " The image showed the dome collapse and disapear, and a rather large explosion occur in the structure that held the generators, this took out part of the metal wall that surrounded the circumference of the camp. "This would cause the generators to explode, thereby taking out part of the south wall." The image flickered and then disappeared. "It was only a matter of time before the Yeerks in this quadrant realized our weakness. If they take out the force wall, we're in a lot of trouble."
"We intend to send 82 soldiers." General Traker began. Out of the corner of my eye I looked at the rest of the soldiers. I wondered if there were any of our people in the group, but the majority was human, I also noticed a group of around ten Hork-bijair towered the front. "We will send nine transports. Eight of which will hold ten soldiers in each. Seven Human, one Hork-bijair, and two Crimean. This will be a frontal assault; you will be traveling over flat land directly toward the missile installation. The two Crimean's in each transport will generate a shield around their vehicle that should shield everyone from the majority of the fire. Once you are approximately one mile from the installation, you will exit the transports. The ninth transport will be loaded with rocket launchers, plasma launchers, and several E.M.P launchers. One human along with Private Serac," I glanced at Jace. The General might of treated us like dirt sometimes, but he knew our abilites. "Will be on his transport. Private Serac will maintane a shield around this vehicle at all times."
"Once on site you will unload the E.M.P. Launchers first and fire them at the base. This should knock out all the targeting and guidence systems. If they decide to fire on you they will be blind." He continued. "Once this is complete you will unload the rocket and plasma lauchers and use them to demolish the site. You are to aim at missile launch sites and destroy them. Second Lieutenant Redland and his squad of morphers will head in and make sure that everything was destroyed, check to see how many remaining Yeerks there are, and report back to camp." The General finished up. "We will do this mission under cover of darkness. You have thirty-seven hours to prepare for the mission. Dismissed!"

Hehehe... within the next two chapters is a battle scene!
Oh, and about them being so young, you see the Crimean people develop faster, both physically and mentally, then humans do. Even though they are only 11 and 12 they act more like there in there later teens, well, with the exception of Zeek O.o This also atributes to a shorter life span, most crimeans don't live past seventy, which would be 65 or so in human years. And usually Crimeans are married by the time they reach 25 (19 human years). So if you look at it from a technical point of view, there actually older then the Animorphs were, it's just that they didn't have a choice whether or not and when to fight. Does that explain any thing? Or did I just contradict myself?
Oh and sorry bout the suspence thing :-D It's just that with this new chaptering system it makes updating the story a lot easier. Just think if I couldn't do it chapter by chapter, the story would have been updated since Fate (Part 2)!
