It was our first mission, ten months of intensive training and it all came down to this. The first UFO successfully intercepted by The Institution and we were the first. It was kind of insulting now that I think about it. We were the elite, the best of the best, the most badass son's of a gun that ever lived and we were treated like rookies. We had to go through basic training all over again.

The plane rumbled, and our crazy pilot told us to buckle up as if we forgot. Winston cracked a joke from a comic and we laughed. The tension in the atmosphere was immediately dissipated as we .

The plane rocked again and the speakers began to crackle. Our pilot told us to get in our pods and prepare for landing which we did with upmost haste. Another crackle and he informed us again of our mission parameters and very quickly told us that an airship was spotted in the general vicinity of the wreck and that we were to rescue the crew to earn brownie points with the Darwinist.

The pods dropped and the three most terrifying minutes of my life ensued. I slowly rocked in a small metal pod downwards into the alpine snow scared that I would hit a rock and fall to an untimely death. Since I'm writing this I didn't. I survived the landing and everyone else did too.

As we exited our drop pods, we caught a glimpse of our plane. Winston again said "Lucky bastard," and I can't help but to agree.

A few minutes later and we were all suited up and reasonably well armed. Confident, we advanced on the wreck of the alien ship.

As we approached the ship an alien popped from behind a snowdrift. It even looked kind of cute. It had large eyes and a large head with a small body. It raised a strange and ornate gun like device and fired it before I could give the order to dodge. The weapon emitted a strange ray of light that disintegrated anything it hit. The ray hit Winston, poor bastard and it turned him into dust.

Reaction was immediate and the alien was peppered with light machine gun fire, shockingly the bullets were stopped in mid air five feet away from the alien. Unperturbed, we raised our rifle and fired. The rifles kicked back into our shoulders firing .577 calibers of hot lead into the alien. Something must have change because our shots hit the alien and ripped half its face off.

We continued our trek towards the alien ship. Halfway through, we split up some of us going to assist the Darwinist ship and the others to kick alien butt. We arrived at the crashed ship wondering how the hell the aliens get in and out of the ship, when suddenly an alien popped out of a previously invisible door. Without hesitation we fired our weapons at the alien and killed it with extreme prejudice.

A grenade was thrown into the ship an as the door closed. When we opened it again Will was shot by another death ray. We proceeded to fire as many bullets into the ship as we could.

We ran in as soon as the smoke cleared. The place was a sterile circular room with a single tube running through the centre. Its purpose would become apparent as an alien slid down from what most of us agreed was upstairs. It managed to get off a shot killing Luke as we brought our arms to bear on the creature.

In a fit of rare ingenuity, we managed to tie a few grenades to our remaining machine gun and send it up the tube. After hearing a satisfying explosion, we went up ourselves to the beautiful sight of three dead alien corpses. Satisfied that the ship was clean, we set up and started the recovery beacon.

In an underground bunker

We saw the unthinkable, the recovery beacon had been activated. I was the one gave the information with an unbelieving "Mission Accomplished."
