Mission
Galen leaned before a huge map of the CPNC that was placed on one of the many desks inside the room he was.
It had some marking on it which represented the Raiders troops and they're own. It didn't look very good. So far each Raider group only cared for themselves and never or just rarely allied. But this time it was different. The Raiders all allied and were ready to start... and if everything goes bad win a war against CPNC.
He had 80 men with 2 APCs and a Jeep under his command. And he should stop the Raiders with this small group.
He wanted to first check out the equipment that he could have so he sent away a courier to the Central Command so they send him a list of what weapons and equipments he can use. He also hoped that he would get the best men and women of the CPNC's Army... cause out there he would need all help he can get.
He stared at the map again and tried to figure out how to coordinate the movement of his platoon. A woman walked into the room carrying a list. She placed it down on Galen's desk, and then stood at attention. "Second Lieutenant Hallie Quinta, Third Ranger division transferred to your command and reporting for duty, SIR!" She said with a sharp salute.
There were two pieces of paper that she had put down, one listing weapons and vehicles, the other had her transfer orders, declaring her as his new second in command.
The list of weapons had on it: 50 X AK-112 5mm Assault Rifle, 40 X H&K MP9 Sub machinegun, 80 X Colt 6520 10mm Auto loading Pistols, 80 X Combat Knifes and two Military Model Wattz 1000 Laser Pistol meant for Galen and Hallie.
The list for soldiers showed twenty CPNC rangers transferred to his command, and fifty-nine regular soldiers also transferred to his command.
A rumble shook the roads in Toronto. The Calvary had arrived in the form of the Leopard C2 Battle Tank. It was shimmering and looking better than ever-- such an impressive sight to behold. The Toronto residents emerged from their homes to see where the noise was coming from. They saw the massive contraption and at first became shocked by such a mammoth machine. When they saw the CPNC Insignia however, the crowd burst into applaud and cheering. Devi was halfway outside the tank with the hatch wide open.
Wow, we're getting a standing ovation everywhere we go! This is great!
She kept a straight face as a burning thought appeared in her mind. "I just hope we don't let them all down."
The tank rolled into the military base and parked. The crew jumped out and was immediately greeted by officers and maintenance men, running over to refuel their vehicle.
A private ran up to the tank as soon as it stopped, and then up to Devi. "Ma'am, the war has started, you arrived just in time. You're to report to Lieutenant Galen's office immediately, it's two floors down in the basement. You'll be coordinating your actions with him." Devi's heart dropped.
War? So it's true. Thank you!
Devi ran into the base while her crew stayed behind and conversed with the officers. She showed her ID, while running through the guards. Getting lost in the labyrinth of a base, she backtracked and finally asked someone for directions. Everybody was hustling along, each caring a fully loaded weapon. This was for real! The guard pointed her in the right direction and she finally reached Lieutenant Galen's office. Devi straightened out her wild red hair and tried to press down her wrinkly clothes before entering. Upon coming in she saw a female officer telling Galen about their supplies. She stood at attention and saluted.
Sir! Sergeant Materia reporting for duty. My crew and vehicle are outside awaiting deployment, sir!
Discipline was something Devi never had a problem with. That's how she got the position she has so quickly. Jack Boston had just arrived at the base. He was among the group of soldiers who was being transferred to Galen's command. He grabbed a lieutenant to get his attention. "Sergeant Jack Boston reporting, sir." He saluted, and the lieutenant returned the salute, annoyed that Jack had grabbed him. "I'm among the new soldiers arriving here, and I think I may have somehow gotten here early. Do you know where the CO's post is?" Jack Boston had just arrived at the base. He was among the group of soldiers who was being transferred to Galen's command. He grabbed a lieutenant to get his attention. "Sergeant Jack Boston reporting, sir." He saluted, and the lieutenant returned the salute, annoyed that Jack had grabbed him. "I'm among the new soldiers arriving here, and I think I may have somehow gotten here early. Do you know where the CO's post is?" "First Lieutenant Galen? He's on the second basement floor, in corridor twenty-seven, room four. And in case you haven't heard, your right on time, the war just started ten minutes ago." "Thank you sir." He saluted, and ran off to Galen's room. He knocked on the door. "Sir! Sergeant Boston reporting, sir!" Galen looked at the two sergeants and then at Hallie.
"I'm happy to see that CPNC ordered me some of they're best men... and women off course. I would say lets get to the point directly ladies and gentlemen. The raider attacks have been always made by one single clan... they never made alliances sofar. Until now. We got reports that almost all of the major raider clans have formed an alliance and are intending to take over CPNC... or worse. Command issued us a Jeep and 2 APCs. We'll use these to move our troops."
He stopped and waved towards the map.
"This is the latest information we had about the position of the raiders and they're position. Command hasn't sent me exact orders yet of what we should do but I suggested them that our platoon makes a strike attack against the raiders main supply line. It is a base actually and if we could take it out... or even occupy it and have some trucks come in so we can take some equipment away. In any way... command promised me that they would send me an order in any minute now so I guess well just wait now. In the meantime tell me what kind of experience do you have, and what are you good at? I like to know my crews abilities before I go onto war with them." Thinking that the other Sergeant's intrusion was quite rude, Devi stepped ahead of him when Lieutenant Galen finished his question.
Sir, if I may, my tank and crew are more than prepared to engage the enemy. I believe a swift and decisive attack with our armored vehicles, backed by infantry, will be more than enough to defeat the enemy with minimal losses. To be honest sir, I don't believe we'll even need much infantry support, except for maybe an occupying force. Just a suggestion though, sir.
Devi realized just than she had failed to mention the fact that she had just graduated from training camp. She stood with fire in her eyes. She was eager to hit the battlefield and kill the bastards. "I'm afraid that I won't be nearly as useful as the tank commander. I have experience in long-range scouting, recon, and some in infiltration. I'd be better off sticking to my orders from Kewlona; I'm to be a platoon sergeant." Boston handed his orders to Galen. A private walked into the room. "Sir, the Raiders have made their first strike, the war has begun."
He handed them orders. It was as Galen wanted, but this supply depot would mean going through a near-captured bunker. In fact, the first one to be attacked. They were holding off the attack inside for the moment, but it wouldn't take long. Three hours, tops before the bunker was lost. Nikki had managed to find Galen's command post. She entered with her gunner. "Airman First Class Panek and Airman Second Class Valari, reporting sir." "Alright people listen up! We got our first real jobs now. Our mission will be to reach a CPNC bunker which is being attacked in the seconds we speak and save it."
He stopped and motioned towards the map.
"Our convoy will be built up by the Jeep leading it then the two APCs and then our Tank. Once we get about 1.5Kms close to the bunker the Tank will take up a flanking position and attack the invading raider forces from the East. The Jeep and the APCs will unload they're troops at about 0.3Kms before the target... so prepare for some marching to be done. I suppose that the raiders wont really bother with covering they're sides so if we attack them from both sides they gonna be helpless. Just try not to get into a crossfire... and Devi. Aim carefully I don't want to have our butts gunned off. I want everybody assembled at the vehicle bay in approximately 10 minutes in full battle gear, and ready to go. It should take us 5 minutes to get into the vehicles and then go off. If all goes well we can arrive at the bunker in 2 hours. If they can hold the raiders off so long... then were in luck and can help them. Boston you'll be in the Jeep with me and will help in scouting. Keep your eyes open and don't let anything get near us before me knowing it. Alright... everyone got they're orders. Dissmissed and I wanna see everyone in 10 minutes!"
Galen walked to the radio.
"Attention 16th platoon soldiers...The war has begun between the CPNC and the raider alliance. I want all soldiers and personnel of the 16th platoon in the vehicle bay in 10 minutes in full battle gear."
Galen then turned to the freshly arrived to people. He was putting on his armor in the meantime and holstered the laser pistol which was given to him.
"Welcome you two be. And how can you help our operation? What are your skills and what are your experiences?" "We are airmen, sir. We're skilled with aircraft. We've been assigned to you with a Hind J-13 Helicopter Gunship." Hhhhhmmmm.... excellent excellent... but for now I would say you two stay in reserve. But keep yourself ready because if we need help during the attack then you will be called in. Understand that? Now excuse me I must go direct a battle."
With that Galen walked out of the room and made his way to the vehicle bay. Galen walked into the bay seeing already some soldiers in there who were already there in full battle gear.
Alright... I only need to wait for the officers and the rest of the soldiers and then we can head of to the bunker. He thought to himself as he welcomed the salute of the soldiers. He waited for the rest of the soldiers and the officers so they could finally load all up onto the APCs and the Jeep and then head off. Nikki ran after Galen. "Sir, we were under the impression that our orders from General Angel were to aid you immediately." "Alright then. Then you will fly ahead and scout out the situation for us. Be careful not to be hit by a rocket or something but I guess I don't have to hold the usual preach about how hard it as for us to get the chopper. So in either way fly ahead scout out the area and get back a little and wait for us to catch up you understand that?"
Galen wasn't really prepared for such a big operation. First he got a tank and now he got a chopper too? This war was going to be far bigger then the first two. A captain ran up to Galen. "Sir, you're being ordered to move out, NOW!"
Not very far away from the camp, a woman was curiously looking at the camp. She was obviously a mechanic. Out of curiosity, she began to come closer... A group of mercenaries were going to the camp.
Requesting audience from the leader of this camp. The two guards at the entrance each armed with a Jackhammer and in Combat armors raised they're eyebrows.
"And why would you wanna talk to him?" one of them asked in a neutral tone.
In the back of the base almost everything was empty Galen and the others have already left for the Tundra for the saving of the CPNC bunker. Heather speaks to the two guards,
Sir, where are they going? The guard looked a bit surprised at the mercenaries.
"Well... I suppose you didn't hear it yet. The raiders have started a huge attack against the CPNC just hours ago. The third Raider War has broken out." Sir, is the war starting? If so, do you need a mechanic? Rayssa, who had been following the soldiers, approached the base. She overheard the mechanic and as walked near, paid attention to the woman and what the sentinel would reply. (OOC: After the reply:)
Good morning! Excuse me; I could not help by hear... There is a war going on? Against who? Maybe I could help. "I just heard them talking to the mercenaries saying that there's a war going on. I'm asking if they need a mechanic," Heat says while looking at the soldiers. I heard that the Raiders have started their attack. We are willing to help in the assault. "Do you have anything we could ride to go to the battlegrounds?" asks Rick, "Our APC broke down and we don't have any mechanics." Sir!" says Heather, "Sir! I'm a mechanic! Maybe I could help!" "There!" Heather says while wiping the sweat off her head. "Maybe I could come with you? I could be of some help. The engine's old and it could break down any moment." "OK, ok..." Rick says while pacifying her. "We'll be heading off to the Tundra now" he said to the guard while signaling his men to get in the APC.
