Dead Space Resurrection
Operation Hellfire part 2
Joshua woke up, dazed and confused, the last thing he remembered was being sucked out into space, and seeing the executive shuttle exploding, now he was here, he needed answers and he needed them now.
He got up and strode toward the bridge, opening it he saw command personnel running all over the place, he looked at the view screen, they were still in Aegis VII's orbit he saw three people standing and conversing he walked toward them, then one of them, a woman turned around and spoke to him, "Hello private, I am Natasha Romanenko, captain of the USM Raven Wolf, you are very lucky we found you and your two friends, your suits barely had enough oxygen to keep you alive." He smiled and gave her a crisp salute, "Thank you ma'am for everything." She gave him a quizzical look and asked, "Are you part Russian?" He looked at her and said, "Yes, is there a problem with being part Russian??"
She looked at him and said, "No, there is no problem what so ever anyway if you would like we will send you down to the surface with a battalion." Joshua smiled at her and said, "That will be much appreciated Natasha."
She laughed and their conversation erupted into Russian that lasted a good 6 minutes, she then led them down to Hangar Bay 7 where a gunship was prepped to take them planet side. Before Joshua went on Natasha grabbed him and whispered into his ear, "Be safe nephew, and come back home, your family misses you."
He replied to her saying, "I will." Joshua stepped inside and smiled at her, giving her a crisp salute, his aunt was a tough woman, but he noticed a tear falling down her cheek as he left, he promised her that he will be safe, he looked at his two comrades, and the new battalion of troops he checked the callsign of the unit, it was: Devil Dog, he sat down and strapped in as the transport sped through the atmosphere, he looked out the viewport, noticing small mini-base transports speeding to different sectors of the colony he leaned back and sighed, "Welcome to hell."

Cpl. Levski looked at the monitor, Large transports also known as "Pods" by the marines, deployed at specific areas in the colony, from there the automated system would create a barrier and then a small firebase to house military personnel, so far all were in place, only two codenamed "Echo" and "India" were en-route to their waypoint, Levski opened a comm channel to both and said:
[-All right boyos speed it up we need those barriers up before nightfall!-]
[=: This is echo we are at our waypoint sir, wait hold on…We got movement! They're inside! We need!!--:=]
A small holographic woman came up from his PDA and spoke to him, saying, "Echo's life signs cut off, suddenly I might add, something isn't right, you better check in with India." He looked at the small figure and nodded and opened a channel to India:
[- India come in! this is HQ come in! come in India RESPOND!-]
[=: This is India we are in position no problems so far…wait…hold on we got movement! THEY'RE INSIDE OH SHIT THEY GOT GUSS! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!--:=]
Levski slammed his fist against the table the small woman shifted her size to that of a normal sized human, and told him, "India's life signs are gone as well, I'll inform the Commanders then."
He looked at the holographic woman and nodded, stating, "Go ahead, anyway I'm going with a group of marines to get those pods up and running." He hefted a pulse rifle and plasma cutter and walked out of the room, he looked in the halls, refugees were waiting to get food and medical care, and platoons of marines stormed in and out of the base, he looked outside, the flames that once consumed the city, died down to glowing embers, that slowly faded out, leaving nothing but a dark silhouette of what once the prosperous city, full of life, now just an empty shell, full of nightmares, and the lost souls of people who never made it out, or died trying to help others out of the hell hole, he looked up at the sky and at the stars, and felt something die inside, just a few hours ago he held a dying marine in his arms, and she asked him to tell her family that she loved them, especially her young brother who was only 7 years old, she was only 23, then he remembered , lying her on the ground, folding her hands on top her chest, which held a small teddy bear, given to her by her mom, he wept that day, because of the fact, he was responsible for her, for all the marines in his squad, they were like a big dysfunctional family, she was the little sister of the group, he closed her eyes shut, and whispered under his breath, "Rest in peace Oina-sama, we will all miss you.", he looked around, half of the squad was on their knees crying or just standing up stiff, clenching their fists, trying to hold back the pain of losing a close friend. He wiped away the tears and spoke to them all, "All right, Transports Echo and India are not responding, our mission is to assist any survivors and start up the barrier, without those, the necromorphs could easily break through. Do you get me?" They saluted him and said in unison, "Sir, Yes Sir!" he smiled and ran off, the 24 other marines followed.
