Chapter 6 Field training.
Sez awoke in the morning to the sound of chattering soldiers. He sat up and looked around.
Personel of all different species and divisions were getting dressed and chatting to their friends.
Sez yawned and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He opened his footlocker and grabbed his uniform out.
He yawned again and headed for the showers. When he entered all he could smell was running water and BO. "Urgh. Maybe they should clean these a little more." He slipped off his boxers and turned the water on.
"RAHH!" He yelled out. "What the hell this water is cold!" There was no may to change the temperature that he could find. He shivered and continued. After his shower he dressed in his black uniform. He merely taped his rank patch on. He met Vixo in the hallway on his way to training.
"So man what do you have to do today?" Sez said "Gotta Advanced flight training"
"Heh wow. Ive got squad familiarization and weapon training"
"Well sez this is where i go." He pointed at the sign indicating hangar.
"Well kid hope ya do well and good luck"
"Thanks Sez. Good luck to you to." Vixo nodded and turned down the hall.
Sez continued walking to his classroom.
"Hmmm 2A this should be it." He opened the door and only saw two other people sitting there.
"Leon! Cy! Didnt know you were stationed on the Freedom"
"Didnt know you were in our squad." Cyrellus said. Leon was being quiet as usual.
Sez took a seat beside them, just as the insructor came in.
"You three are all that made it"
Sez spoke up. "No sir the only ones crazy enough to sign up"
They enjoyed a laugh. Leon merely smiled.
"Well now. You three are the only ones part of the new Spec Ops squad.
Today you will learn about the specialized weaponry that only you get"
He pulled a small round for the H.A.G.R.L. out of his pocket. It had a black casing.
"Ill get on to what I know you guys want to see. This grenade round is lethal.
It is a nerve gas grenade for taking out your enemies silently"
He set it on the podium. He then pulled a grenade with a yellow casing out.
"This is a concussion grenade. It releases with such force that it knocks anyone unconscious in it blast radius." He set that on the podium also then pulled out a shorter version of the A.I.R.-7. "This is the snub-nosed AIR seven. Lighter but still packs a punch and can be concealed easier." I know the training for today doesnt seem like much but most of your training will be field tests. You guys can take a look at these if you want." He set all three items on the table closest to him. Sez immideatly seized the nerve gas grenade examining it.
"Now you guys are free to test these weapons in the range if you want just gotta request them, and tell the guy your special ops. Thats pretty much it for day one. Tommorow your gonna get your helmets.
Well your guys are dismissed"
They stood up saluted the guy and left.
"So sez wanna go shoot those weapons"
"Nah im gonna go sit down for a while and think"
"Suit yourself man. Come on Leon lets go blow some stuff up"
Leon smiled and went with Cy to the shooting range.
Sez walked down the hallways with no clear idea of where he was going. Thinking about his decision to join the military. He eventually found himself in the area overlooking the hangar. He stared out at the sleek black ASFs. He could see Vixo in a Dark Blue pilot suit. He was examing the outside of his ship.
There seemed to be blast marks on it. Then the alarm claxons started blaring.
"All ground personell report to breifing room 3. All Air and space personell report to briefing room 2. Special Ops report to briefing room 7." Sez sighed and walked through the ship looking for Briefing room seven. He found the room and went inside. The room was empty except for a grizzled looking Sergeant. Sez took a seat waiting for other recruits. Cy and Leon showed up moments later.
"Well its not gonna get much better than this." The Sarge said. "Ill just go ahead and break it to you.
We are under attack by alien invaders. We call them the aparoids. You three are to attack their ground headquarters on Fortuna and take out the CO. You will find your equipment in the box i have here. This is the latest equipment for the Special Forces soldiers." He pointed to the map behind him. "You will be inserted behind enemy lines and you will make your way to the enemy headquarters here. Once inside you will kill the CO and make your way to the extraction point here. If you cant remember this the Heads-Up Display in the new helmets will help you out. Now get suited up." The three soldiers stepped forward and put on the SF edition armors that lay before them. They used the same set up as in training. The new helmets had a bit of orange glass across the face area. Sez slipped on the helmet and the orange glass seemed to wink on as a computer monitor does. The glass then turned crystal clear. A few displays popped up. In the upper right hand corner a heart rate monitor appeared. In the upper left a comm display appeared. Across the left appeared green boxes with checks in them. One said Corl, Cyrellus above it. The other said Fortune, Leon.
He picked up a AIR-7. The helmet blinked in the lower left and an ammo counter appeared showing how many shots remained. It said 35. He looked at his team and said "Lock and load boys its our first mission."
