A.N. A short little chapter, but I wanted to get this on here.
I hopped out of the pelican just before it landed and proceeded to trip over a rock and make a complete fool out of myself. As I stood up a marine approached me. "Are you Corporal Carterson?" the marine asked me. "Yes." I answered. "The lieutenant wants you to lead an assault against the local Covvie anti-air." the marine said.
"Why me?"
"Look around trooper. Is there anything missing?"
I looked around. There certainly wasn't very much. I saw a squad or two of marines, a single mongoose, two warthogs, two falcons, and a very damaged scorpion. "So, you, me, and any able bodied man here are going to try to take out all ten anti-air-batteries with these resources?" I said questioningly.
"Yes." the marine dead panned.
"You're crazy."
"Tell that to the lieutenant."
"Is the lieutenant the only officer here?" I asked.
"Yes." the marine dead panned once more.
I looked at the marines and the vehicles. "If we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it right." I said mostly to myself.
