Star Wars: Painful truth prt III

General Senan Hahn walked down the corridor of the World Nation navy carrier ship.It was about the size of an imperial star destroyer, but that mattered not, not  now,at least.

If anyone was one of the most despised leaders in the WN's military, it was him. Hahn was one of the most uncharismatic people in a commanding position. He had a massive inferiority complex and when debating sometimes attacked  his opposition coldly. That was Shenan Hahn. It took many a while to adjust to his satiric humor, and Rienn was going to have one hell of a time. Hahn entered his office with the CMC…Command Master Chief Boan Maz waiting with Rienn. This man was favorable. He had already formed battle plans for crucial missins in the past, all of which went in favor of his nation's military with MASSIVE casualties. After being told of this, Rienn hoped that he would be put in a position to leave—or worse—sacrafice his men. Maz waited  in there along with the Battalion Commander.

"Ah. You've arrived, General. I was beginning to brief the CO here on our first infantry plan.", Maz began. Hints of determination and confidence were evident in his voice. He was to begin another statement, but was cut off.

"Cut to the core, Master Chief. How is the mobilization going?", said the General demandingly, "Has the infantry been deployed?".

"No, sir. The Battalion commander has asked to be included in the Infantry count. He wants to lead them into the mission.", said the CMC as he straightened up. Rienn and Hahn's eyes met for half a second. A small staring contest. Rienn then saluted as he was supposed to, with his cover in his left arm, which was at a 90 degree angle. Genereal Shenan Hahn returned the salute.

"Is this true, commander?", questioned the General. Rienn returned the question with an answer in the form of a quick affirmative yes. The General nodded his head as the Master Chief continued.

He pressed a button on the control panel of the General's desk. A projection ring rose from a sleek chest in the back of the room, near the entrance. A spherical projection of the planet where the former WN base was located appeared.The Command Master Chief continued.

"This is Virinian as you know.", he pressed a holographic button and the planet was given a close up, scanning over continents until it had the WN military base on the spot. It showed some Sanarian land forces situated at estimated spots. "Our military forces are being held captive. Since this is a relatively small installation, we'll be inserting three squads at maximum.".He pressed buttons which zoomed in on the base with a 180-degree rotation to the left,and marked preferred insertion points as he spoke.

"The mission parameters are to get in, find any survivors at the base, and extra weaponry, and then withdraw.", he said. He then looked at Rienn. He detected a question.

"Survivors, sir?", Rienn asked.

"Yes. The base was invaded by Sanarian land forces. It was reported that a few of these Yuuzahn Vong had aided them. Contact was not made since this information was brought to us." The CMC looked back through window of the General's room. The Sun shone on the planet of Virinian

"I understand", said Rienn with a slight nod. He prepared to salute, but was cut off.

"You don't understand yet,Commander.", said Han as he spoke up suddenly. "Do not underestimate the opposition. It's hard to believe that they acted on their own plans when taking over a base with so much ease." He looked at the holographic display. That distinct voice of his was riddled with disgust for the Vong and Sanarians. It was very understandable. Rienn was taken back some. His brow furrowed. He had a question.

"I am to eliminate all threats, including any humans?", he asked, in a manner which Hahn thought questioned his authority. That thought of the General's was appearant on his face.

"Yes, commander. It's a quite simple task. Eliminate the Vong, Sans, and traitors. Quite understandable.". Rienn thought that things weren't adding up. What was going on?

"Is the general suggesting that the Military installation is riddled with spies?", he asked.

"The general is suggesting that he stop being put into a position to explain himself to a Commander.". Senan Hahn's eyes narrowed at his comment to the lower officer.

"Sir.", Rienn said, straightening himself up and turning to the General to salute him. He then turned and walked out.

Later, the young Battalion Commander was suited up and ready for the offensive. As he walked to the briefing room, he was soon accompanied by a longtime friend, Sa Low. He was a human also, though earth was rather diverse around this time.

"Hey, Sa."

"Hey, Rienn"

The two greeted each other and shook hands in their own style. They laughed as they tried to get it right, since it was a nice while since they have done the shake. Sa and Rienn got it right eventually, and continued the journey to the briefing room with the rest of the soldiers. They made it, and as they entered the room, one person sitting in the back had called the squads to attention (on deck), and soon after, they were given the command to sit down. They did and  Rienn briefed them. After the short information, the squads made their way to the Military ship in formation, although they were given the permission to do what they wanted as they approached.

"Rienn, I think you'll be a great Commander, man. Leading us into battle is great also.",said Sa. He was a pretty nice person, but a jokester. He was one of the types that this Battalion was going to need, "Try not to be too hard on us while we're fighting. We're only kids."

"Sure. I won't yell at you guys and send you all too your rooms.",Rienn said with a slight laugh.

"Good. We need you. You're like an older brother to all of the Battalion. All 30,000+ of us", Sa said.

"Are you being serious or satiric?",wondered Rienn. He had been asking a lot of questions. Curiosity was in his nature.

"Both.", said Sa, who then latched onto him like he was  a younger brother.

"C'mon,now.", the commander said as he shrugged the playful friend off. He chuckled again. As the two entered the hangar, the squads were already boarding ships. Rienn and Sa were to be on different ships. Rienn stopped and faced his longtime friend. His playful expression changed into one of seriousness.

"Sa, when you're leading your squad, promise me you'll bring each and every one of them back.We don't need Hahn bearing down on us and berating us. They're like our parents. We don't want to be in trouble with them.", said Rienn seriously, commenting in his own way on how Sa said that he was the entire battalion's eldest brother. It was like the General was the parents in one body. Sa picked up on this.

"Are you being serious or sarcastic?", he asked with a smirk.

"Both.", said the commander.

Chptr III is over.
