Chapter 4
Mission Report
"When we get to the ship, I want a full mission report from when weleft you. Understood marine?" Hallgins nodded his head in acknowledgement.
Sergeant Hallgins stared at the small view screen in front of him.
The stars shone brightly at him and he wondered about all the other planets with the aliens. Why the company wanted to use the things, he now knew. But how they where going to get it done, Hallgins didn't know!
The Drop-ship rose through the underside of the Jolua, the mission ship, and into the docking bay. Slowly Hallgins crawled out of the APC and onto the floor of the Jolua. He dragged himself over to the Lockers to get unchanged, and put all his gear away.
Hallgins knew that after that experience, he would never fight the bugs again without his MP5 and his P90. He never believed in superstition but he did now.
An hour later Hallgins was sitting in front of the LT in the Briefing Room.
"Well, once I was trapped, I went to a nearby room, under advice from you and picked up the weapons. I then found the body" Hallgins went on for an hour or two more telling the LT all about what happened, "then we got into the Drop-ship and came back here."
"Thank you Sergeant," LT told Hallgins, "you may go!"
Hallgins walked to the Mess Hall to get some food, and once everyone had eaten, the Squad met up in the Cryo-Bay.
Hallgins crawled into his Tube and lay down. As the Lid slid Hallgins started to think about the future, but the clear mist froze Hallgins thought as he drifted into sleep, as the Jolua silently flew into the darkness of space.
