Disclaimer: I don't Resident Evil,etc... I REALLY REALLY apologize for ANY spelling errors
Chapter 2: Green Across the Border
Ashley sat down with the other S.T.A.R.S. members as the plane took off and the head communications of the operation appeared and hit a button and a screen that was placed in the back of the plane lit up. It showed what looked like a forested area… though… something seemed a bit off. There was green fog around the entire area and storm clouds seemed to fill the sky.
"This…"-started the man-"Is Cassilis, Gippsland Victoria in Australia… a ghost town" he said, a grim face coming over him. "It was a well producing gold mining town but by the First World War most of the gold was gone and by 1933 only 34 inhabitants remained… and in 1939 bush fires destroyed part of the town and many buildings were taken away. Now, as you can see there are no commercial buildings currently in operations and it is a tourist attraction. Though, in the past 2 months, the Australian Police have been receiving reports of people going missing and not turning up."
Jill began to play this all in her head... it had been the same story in the Aklay Mountains seven years ago.
Claire looked down the row of seats and saw that Jill, Barry and Chris all had a stern face on… she had only read so much from the papers. She had seen what happened in Raccoon, she had lived it… but she didn't know whether to make the mistake of sympathizing or not.
"Also, satellite images have shown that there have been black trucks entering the area and then disappearing without a trace into what we think is a secret entrance into the mines" the man stopped when he saw Rebecca raise her hand.
"Well, then why don't we just send in the police to the area if we know all this?" she asked.
"Because, Ms. Chambers"-he put some anger into his speech when he said 'Ms.Chambers'-"We believe that the organization that was behind the murder of the president is behind this… and they have ties to Umbrella. If the police raided the mines and found evidence like that, it could case diplomatically problems between America and Australia. Also, we don't want to make a big deal out of this, we need a covert team to enter, retrieve Agent Kennedy and get out, we'll take it from there"
"How do we know Leon is there?" asked Claire, sternness in her voice.
"Because, we have a report filed by a police officer on duty at the Washington International, who said he saw three men with Mr. Kennedy boarding a plane to Australia and we also have a report by an Australian officer who wrote that four suspicious men, one fitting Mr. Kennedy's description, drove off heading for Cassilis" he finished.
The members all looked at each other, then back at the man who had pulled out a silver case that a soldier had walked in and given to him. "My name is Mr. Anderson and I will be your communications operator for this mission"-he opened the case and pulled out seven small PDAs and tossed them at the team-"These are your PDAs; you will all receive mission objectives, updates, news and any other assistance along the way" he said as everyone found a place for their own.
"So… how are we going in?" asked Chris, wondering how they would land a military plane in a ghost town unnoticed.
"Simple"-started Mr. Anderson-"WE won't be… you will be sent in by 'S-B'" he stated, "A new piece of technology the military wants you too… try, what did you think you'd get this flight for free?" he asked. He went to the back of the plane, and then came back with what looked like a little airplane-shaped surf board. "These, are Sky Boards, or S-B for short. You'll slide off the back of the plane from the cargo hold and glide down on this. Simply place one foot on the front, and the other on the back and when its on-board sensors clear that you are at a safe height, they will fire a small parachute from both sides and you'll glide gently to the ground. They are fast, small, and can avoid almost any radar." He finished a proud look on his face.
Rebecca took one look at the board, then looked to her side were Ashley sat, the two exchanged looks of fear.
"So, anything else… Operator?" asked Barry, who had a very fierce look on.
"Yes, your mission objectives so far:
1): Land in the park
2): Get ready
3): Recon until you find a way to enter the mines, we suggest taking the mine shafts down for a secretive approach." He stated, "We'll be over our jump point in 5 hours, get calm, get cool, get collected… and God be with you" and with that he turned around and left.
The S.T.A.R.S. got up after the talk and stretched, Barry going to where Mr. Anderson once stood and took a breath. "Team… before we get ready, all I'm going to say is what they told me… when we leave this plane… we have no origin… if we are found out about, the United States doesn't claim us, where we fall is our graves. We also think that since Umbrella is involved… well, we might be encounting some Bow's down there." He finished solemnly.
Ashley could feel her knee shaking but she shook her head and emotionally calmed herself. 'I'm coming Leon… just be okay when I get there' she thought…
Momiro: Hi Hi, I'm just here to say a few things before you finished, -anyway- I'm sorry for the short chapters, I swear after this one they will in increase in size DRAMATCALLY!, either that or I'll be putting up 2 or 3 a day.
Also, I will have small points of the story were it will be Leon's point of view, I was thinking about it before and I read a review so I'm putting it into action. Also, we have two speical stars coming into the story from Resident Evil's past, my only hint is that they are both from Resident Evil 2. My only hint on the first one is this, "In the Locket Held the Key, Depending On Claire Their Be... Though In the End... She Was Safe In Our Hands".
