Chapter 106: Back On The Road.
As the shuttle carrying the captured bug commander landed at the FOB Jack Mason strode out to meet it with his personal team of Seekers around him.
"What are you thinking boss?" Liam Silverdiamondscale asked as they watched the shuttle back open and the team of Hunters remove the enclosure that was holding the bug commander still trapped within its bio-suit and transport it to the holding area that had been prepared for it.
"Not sure yet, its mind is interesting, to say the least, it's heavily shielded against psionic probing hell not even the Xenos have this kind of protection, it might be worth getting one of the queens down here to have a look as well, pretty sure Citrus would be interested in this," Jack said scratching his chin as he watched the Hunter team guiding the hovering sledge that contained the cage along towards the holding area.
"Think it's an adaptation to the queen's psionic scream that they used in space or do you think that all their commanders have this?' Liam asked curiously.
"Well, that's the real question, isn't it? Did they adapt to our attack that quickly or was it something that all the command bugs like this one already had?" Jack said.
"Guess there's gonna only be one way to find out the answer to that question and so many more," Liam said.
"Yeah we're gonna have to break into its mind," Jack said signaling for the rest of Seeker One to follow him as he fell in step behind the Hunter transport team.
The Hunter team placed the cage down at the centre of the room that had been set up to hold the bug commander and immediately a team of scientists and engineers from the science hive appeared to begin examining the crippled bio-suit that it was still trapped inside of along with some Battle Angels as the biological nature of the suit and tech put this in their scope of expertise.
Jack and his team stood watching carefully as the Xenos circled the crippled suit and hissed and screeched at one another as they argued over the best way to proceed with extracting the commander bug from its biological prison.
Eventually, the engineers in the team seemed to discover something of interest along the seams of the layered chest plates of chitin and with expert precision, they managed to pop the chest plate free.
No sooner had they done so than they were all knocked backwards as a surprisingly tall and skinny figure exploded out of the suit.
Unfortunately for the bug commander, it had not reckoned on there being four Seekers in the room when it burst out of its armour in a bid for freedom.
The punch from Myka a large Yautja female part of Jack's team sent the skinny figure sailing backwards across the room and into the wall with a heavy thud.
No sooner had it hit the floor than the Xenos were on it, they were grasping at its many flailing limbs and jamming immobilising cuffs onto its long limbs that used a powerful magnetic field to hold its limbs secured together behind its back while they also locked what passed for its ankles together leaving the tall skinny insectoid thrashing around on the floor unable to break free.
As Jack examines the rather frustrated creature which is clacking its small mandibles together and chittering away in what he assumes is rather unflattering language he is surprised to see that it reminds him of an Earth insect.
The creature bears an uncanny to a praying mantis from Earth but with obvious differences like a lack of wings and having four large arms instead of two as well as only two legs rather than four, but its large bulbous eyes and antennae are almost perfect as well as its triangular shaped head.
Jack could see the anger in its bright green eyes as it tracked him as he approached it.
"Glad to see you got some fight in you, you're gonna need it," he said as he crouched down before the insect who clacked its sharp-looking mandibles at him.
"Alright let's see if this works on your kind shall we?" Kack said and with a movement so fast the insect had never even seen it coming Jack grabbed its head while being careful to keep his hands clear of its mandibles and began to try and break into its mind.

As Vessa's MK5 glided over the sands of the dunes she couldn't help but think of both her sister now in the GMF's medical bay and her sister now waiting for her whole pride in the golden garden of the Great Tree.
The feelings coursing through her are incredibly bittersweet and powerful, on one hand, she is worried about her sister in the hospital despite assurances that she's received that she'll be fine and return to them as soon as she's healed.
On another, she feels sad because Jex is not there with them anymore and it pains her greatly that she is going to have to wait so long to see her beloved pride sister again though it does bring her immense comfort knowing that she is in the golden garden under the care of the Great Tree.
Then she feels delighted that Thomas agreed to become her pride's male while at the same time feeling incredibly guilty that neither Jex nor Cemmil were here to experience that happiness and joy alongside their beloved pride sisters.
Honestly, she felt like crying tears of pain and joy at the same time and she was incredibly glad she was not the one driving the skimmer as they'd already be upside down and on fire if she was.
Vessa was under no doubt that her sisters were all feeling exactly the same things she was as that was what it meant to be part of a pride, all of its members were so close and so in sync that joy, grief, sadness or anger never simply belonged to one member of the pride, it belonged to all of them as a whole.
Infact it is how they managed to talk and act the way that they did, when a pride met it was a whole new world for them, they gradually had to learn how their new sisters thought and what they liked and disliked and over time the pride would simply sync up with one another until they were a unified whole.
And so it had been with Vessa and her pride, she still remembered the day she'd met Jex in school and the pair had simply clicked, it was like seeing yourself mirrored back at you in the soul of another person, then one after the other each of the others had joined them until by the time they had graduated school and were ready to head into the military they were a perfect young pride.
She remembered the day that they had all passed basic training and how proudly they had all stood together as they received their marks of service that showed they were no part of the Raptorian military she also remembered how proudly they had all stood together when they had passed their Surface Stalker training and had been badged as full-fledged Surface Stalkers a truly rare and high honour on her world, one reserved for only the bravest of Raptorians.
Her pride had been chosen to try out for the Star Stalkers and they had taken a leap forward, they were to be among the first Raptorians to set foot among the stars to fight battles on distant worlds and to prove to the universe at large that Raptorians were good people who would fight to defend them if needed.
She knew in her heart that Jex wouldn't have done a single thing different even if she'd known ahead of time that it would cost her her life, she knew that Jex believed in this and what it meant to the pride as a whole as well as to the people of Raptoria.
But Vessa swore on her immortal soul that when they eventually got home the people of Raptoria would know exactly who her beloved pride sister was and what she had sacrificed for them and she would also make sure the Velons knew it too, they would not forget the name Jex as long as she drew breath.
Vessa glanced back over her shoulder at the column of vehicles following behind them, she saw the Silk Spider carrying her pride's male and she sighed heavily and happily, she was so glad that he accepted her rather aggressive offer as it could have gone so very bad if he'd turned her down flat, but he hadn't he had decided to be the one to pick the pieces of her pride's shattered hearts up and to start restitching them back together again she was going to ensure that she and her sisters showed him exactly how much this meant to them all, though she still couldn't wait to spring this little surprise on Cemmil, her face was going to be a picture.
Though the second thing she was going to spring on Cemmil was going to break her heart all over again.
As the convoy started to pick up the pace moving through the seemingly endless sands it was easy for Vessa to get lost in her thoughts as there were miles upon miles of nothing but sand to take her mind off things.
She had taken up Jex's role of tech support and was monitoring their drones with the help of Kika the tech head from Beta Pride but honestly with the little scout drones flying ahead of them it just made things worse as it made it all too easy to simply let the little high tech drones do the work while she got herself lost in her head.
As the sun began to rise the commander called them back in as they had decided to stop for the day and rest up, so Vessa rallied the Star Stalkers back to the convoy where all of the vehicles had taken up a formation inside of the dip of a large series of dunes.
Both of the Serpentinus sandcrawlers had dug themselves into the sides of the dunes and their crews were currently busy setting up a perimeter of sensors which were essentially just hyper-sensitive sensor pods mounted on long poles that could be driven into the sands.
The Gipka commanders were also sending up their own ranging drones to provide arieal recognisance to ensure that no bug patrols snuck up on them during the day while they were all asleep.
The large Titan tanks were at the centre of the formation along with the Silk Spider APCs and as Vessa and her Star Stalker prides pulled up she instantly saw the figure of Thomas standing at the rear of one of them discussing something with both the Hunters and the Beledon along with the commander and her Seeker team.
The group all turned as the Raptorians pulled up and the commander turned and made a beeline right for Vessa and her pride as she dismissed Beta Pride to go get some rest.
"I understand that the two that got hit in the blast were part of your pride?" the commander said looking at Vessa and she nodded.
"Yeah their names were Cemmil and Jex, Jex was the sister we lost," Vessa said feeling the weight of her words pressing down on her remaining pride sisters like an anvil.
The commander nodded and then saluted her much to Vessa's surprise.
"I will ensure their and your sacrifice is not forgotten either by the people of this world or by Clan Mason, I saw the feed of what they did when they were hit and I will be putting in a petition to the Grand patriarch and Matriarch myself for them to put pressure on your government to ensure that they receive commendations for it though granted one will be posthumous I belive that bravery like that should never be ignored or forgotten, they are and forever will be a credit to your pride, to the Star Stalkers and most importantly to the people of Raptoria, they deserve to have their names remembered always," Misty said.
"Thank you, commander, that means a lot to me and my pride," Vessa said and Misty nodded before giving her a bit of a softer smile.
"Got get yourselves some downtime with your pride male, I think it's safe to say you've all earned it," she said gesturing to the rather surprised-looking Thomas which instantly told Vessa that he hadn't told the commander yet so he was rather surprised that she knew.
The commander switched her grin onto the young human Hunter.
"Seeker remember? We don't miss much and don't worry I've already sent a transmission back to the Clan to update your status to Star Hunted, probably not gonna be the last one I send by the way those eBeledon girls are looking at your Xenos over there," Misty said and as one all of them turned to see a group of the Beledon Knights were talking to the two Xeno boys on Thomas's team and their body language positively screamed their interest, though to be fair it wasn't exactly hard to miss when a Beledon girl took a liking to you.
Thomas simply chuckled and nodded.
"Thanks, commander I appreciate it," he said and with that Misty and the other commanders took their leave with a wave leaving Thomas alone with his new pride, or well part of it anyway.
Vessa and her three sisters instantly took up their positions around Thomas as he guided them towards the Silk Spider which was parked a few feet away thanks to everyone getting out to stretch their legs for a bit and to chat with their counterparts on the other teams was actually rather quiet.
"I took the liberty of making some food in the ration heater when I knew were going to be parking up for the night, got the feeling you girls would be pretty hungry, now I'm not exactly an expert on Raptorian tastes as of yet but I figured you girls might like a bit of variety so I made a traditional Clan Mason curry with what I had available," he said gesturing to the bowls currently sitting in the warm box which was basically like a large microwave oven designed to keep food piping hot without either burning it or further cooking it, it simply maintained its temperature, it also stopped it from drying out.
"Thank you Thomas but you didn't need to go to all this trouble..." Vessa and her pride began to say together and he held up a hand to cut them off.
"Nonsense, least I could go after all you girls have been through today, I tell you what you guys are the talk of the other squads, you guys impressed everyone out there," he said opening the warm box and beginning to hand out the bowls to his new wives.
The curry was very sweet smelling with a spicy undertone and as she looked at the bowl she was handed Vessa could see very rich colours in it, yellows, reds and oranges.
The curry itself was dished in a large scoop in the centre of a volcano-shaped upside-down cone of rice that served to contain it and she could also see a mixture of vegetables and large chunks of meat in the thick sauce.
Thomas gestured to a side bench that they could all sit on and the pride moved with him to take their seats around him.
Vessa could see on the faces of her sisters that the small gesture really did mean the world to them.
The group started to tuck into their meals and to their delight the Clan Mason curry was fantastic, it was sweet with a spicy aftertaste that gave a delightful heat to the aftereffect that warmed you from within but wasn't too hot as to be uncomfortable.
"Tell me about Jex and Cemmil," Thomas said suddenly and Vessa glanced up at him and then she smiled sensing what he was doing.
He was a very observant male and she could see it, he was forcing the pride to talk about their sisters so not only could they process their grief over losing one of them but also get himself prepped to meet the one that was in the hospital.
"Jex and Cemmil were like polar opposites from one another, Jex was fun-loving and free-spirited while Cemmil is very regimented and by the book, all Cemmi ever wanted was for us to be shining examples of what Surface Stalkers could be, to be the best of the best of what our people had to offer, she was so proud the day we got the offer to try out to become Star Stalkers," Vessa said with her sisters chiming in to say their parts.
"How about Jex how did she feel about you all becoming Star Stalkers?" Thomas asked as he ate.
"She was excited but for other reasons, she didn't really care all that much about being shining examples to our people, she just wanted to see cool new places, tinker with amazing new tech and most importantly meet pretty alien boys," the pride said all laughing together as they remembered their sister's face grinning from ear to ear after she'd seen all the alien boys they'd be working within the Alliance.
This made Thomas chuckle.
"Sounds like she was the life and soul of the party," he said and the pride nodded.
"Yeah, she really had a way about her that could just make you smile even when you felt like crying, now that's not to say Cemmi has a stick up her tail hole or anything like that because she doesn't, she just likes to analyse all the details before committing to anything, you wouldn't believe how long it took her to approach us when were in school to petition to join our pride," Vessa said and all of the pride laughed together.
"Do you remember the presentation she gave?" one of them said and Vessa laughed and nodded.
"Yeah, to put it into perspective Cemmi had made this flow chart diagram of all of the pros and cons of us accepting her into the pride and making her our pride sister, she listed off everything she could bring to the pride, I don't think I've ever seen such a detailed flow chart in my life, it even had things like how we could speed up laundry washing with her skills," Vessa said making all of them laugh out loud.
"Do you remember her face when Jex said we could just turn the bloody washing machine onto a faster spin cycle," another of the pride said making them all roar with laughter.
"They spent two hours arguing about how to improve the efficiency of washing day with one arguing about how to modify the machine and dryer while the other was arguing about how that couldn't beat a properly organised wash team," Vessa said and the whole pride dissolved into fits of giggles as they fondly remembered the day.
As they were cracking up in fits of giggles and telling stories while recounting memories Thomas simply sat there listening and smiling to himself.
Vessa couldn't help but smile at him and she hoped that her eyes told him how thankful she was for this and for him as with one simple gesture and act he had lifted their spirits out of the ground and given them the joy back.
After their meal, the pride helped him to do the washing up and that's when the commander appeared at the hatch of the Silk Spider and stuck her head in.
"Drop pod coming in guys you might want to get out here," she said and the pride instantly looked at one another in shock, surely it couldn't be could it?
Vessa and her pride rushed outside with Thomas moving as one of them and as they stopped in the sands and looked up they could all see the shape of a pod dropping in through the atmosphere at high speed.
It looked like a miniature meteorite speeding down towards them before firing a series of stabilising thrusters as it got closer to the ground to shed its speed rapidly and facilitate a landing that wouldn't kill its occupant.
As the pod hit the ground just above the lip of the large dune that the convoy was hiding behind the pride with Thomas in tow rushed up and over it arriving just as the hatch blew off and a very familiar little figure stepped out a little shakily.
"Reporting for duty commander," Cemmil said saluting her sister for exactly one second before Vessa and her other pride sisters crashed into her giving her the biggest hug of her life.
"Cemmi! How the hell did you get back here so fucking quickly!?" Vessa exclaimed.
"They sent me right to the Battle Angel hive aboard the GMF and let me tell you those Xenos do not fuck about when it comes to healing people, I thought our medics were fastidious but they are not a patch on those lot, they stuck me in this large tank filled with some kind of liquid and nanities, I could literally watch the damn things stitching me back together hell I'm pretty sure they even waxed my scales for me!" Cemmil said gesturing to herself and that's when she noticed that someone was missing.
"Where's Jex?' she asked and the whole pride went quiet.
"She didn't make it Cemmi," Vessa said quietly.
Cemmil looked like someone had punched her to the stomach and she very nearly doubled over until the whole pride Thomas included now held her upright then Thomas stepped fright into the middle of the group and picked up the shocked little Raptorian.
"Let's get you back to the Silk Spider, the girls can tell you all about what happened there, I think it best if you are sitting down for it," he said sternly as if to dissuade any attempts to argue with him.
When the pride reached the Silk Spider Vessa saw the others from the other teams pulling the pod down into the valley between the dunes and opening the other parts of it, seemingly it had come down with some extra supplies for them as well as their sister.
Thomas placed Cemmil down on the bench seat in the Silk Spider and she looked up at him.
"Umm thank you for your assistance commander," she said softly.
"It's just Thomas to you Cemmi, no need for formality with me," he said softly and Cemmil looked very confused until she saw the slight smirks of her sisters.
"You're kidding me, any more fucking surprises you got to bloody spring on me!?" Cemmil exclaimed somewhat loudly as she realised what the looks meant.
"Just the one, Jex is in the Golden Garden Cemmi, we saw it happen with our own eyes, that big Beledon Seeker pulled her soul right out of her body right in front of us, and she sent her onto the Great Tree and we got to say our goodbyes to her, I'm so so so sorry that you weren't there for it but she understands, we'll see her again Cemmi she's waiting for us and it's because of her we now have a pride male, she made me promise to not wimp out and to hide, she gave me the courage to stand up and push forwards, so I did and Thomas here said yes, so we lost a sister and gained a husband all in one day," Vessa said her voice a mixture of emotion as she spoke.
Cemmil broke down in a very uncharacteristic display of emotion she began to sob uncontrollably as the powerful emotions overwhelmed her and even before her sisters reached her Thomas wrapped his long arms around the slender Raporian and pulled her into his lap while holding her tight to his chest.
Also out of character Cemmil threw her arms around him and clung on for dear life while sobbing into his chest.
Thomas did his best to soothe emotional Raptorian in his lap by simply holding her and rubbing her slender but muscular back as he let her vent her emotions at the shock loss of her pride sister.
The others of the pride moved in close around him and did the same, gently rubbing their sister in order to soothe her but it was obvious that her outburst was threatening to overwhelm them all.
Vessa felt hot tears stinging her eyes as memories of her beloved pride sister flooded her mind, of all the times her joyful and silly antics brought them such fun, of all the laughs they shared together and now of the pain of waiting to see her again when their time finally caught up with them.
Once after the other, each of the pride moved into the growing group hug with Cemmil at its centre.
The group stayed like this for a whole hour with none of them willing to move or release one another, they were vaguely aware of the other members of the Hunter team or vehicle crew coming and going from the Silk Spider but not one of them paid any mind to the pride with its returned sister and new human pride male comforting one another in the troop bay.
Eventually, the group disentangled themselves from one another and Thomas took the time to dry every single one of their tears from each of their faces.
"I can see why Jex chose you for us Thomas, she always was a determined one, playful and flirty in her nature but she always knew a good person by sight alone, it sometimes infuriated me how easily she could just read people like they were no more than a book while I always struggled to gauge people's true intentions or personalities, I have always felt that I could impress them with my attention to detail and my skills with planning and preparation and Jex endlessly made fun of me for it, but it seems like she always had a secret plan of her own in mind and now i see it clearly, she wanted her whole pride to be as happy as she was," Cemmil said softly.
Thomas gently reached down and placed a finger under Cemmil's chin lifting her snout so that she was looking right at him.
"I promise I will not let her faith in me prove to be unfounded Cemmi, I will do my very best to live up to her faith in me," he said before softly kissing the emotional Raptorian right on the lips.
Cemmil simply locked up like a computer stuck in a boot loop before her demeanour simply cracked and she threw her arms around their human pride male's neck and kissed him right back.
"Thank you," Cemmil said pressing her snout into the cleft of Thomas's shoulder after they broke the kiss in a display that made Vessa's heart swell with joy as she swore she could feel their departed sister smiling down on them from the Golden Garden.
As the sun truly began to rise the rest of the team returned and sealed up the Silk Spider so they could run the climate control inside the vehicle, now while the Silk Spider did have fold-down bunk beds that were Yautja-sized it was obvious that a single bunk bed was not going to hold a pride of five Raptorians and one human so once the rest of the team were settled in the girls stripped the spare mattresses from the remaining spare beds and built a bed on the floor for themselves.
Vessa and her sisters guided Thomas down onto the bed and placed him right at the centre of it before surrounding him on all sides so they could cuddle into him and thanks to the fact that all of them had now removed their armour and were dressed in their thermal regulating undersuits they could feel the beautiful contours of his large masculine body as they each found a part of it to claim as their own for the night.
Surprisingly they all slept rather well despite the intense events of the previous night every single one of them even Thomas dreamed of Jex, though not one of them knew that this was thanks to the roots of the Great Tree winding their way through the hearts of the pride and letting their lost sister set foot in their dreams and joining them together so she could visit them, with a little help from the Eternal Huntress who opened the door for Thomas to join them.
In the dream, the group sat around in a huge green field that was directly under a bright and very blue sky, all of the sisters took it in turns telling Jex how things had gone with Thomas and once they were done Jex turned to the much larger human and smiled at him.
"I'm glad my sisters took my words seriously, I can already see that you are gonna bring out the best in them Thomas, but you heed my words here, you'd better take the very best of my pride for me while I'm gone, because if you don't I'm gonna get permission from the Great tree and your Eternal Huntress to haunt your cute human ass, got me?" she said and Thomas laughed.
"Being haunted by a cute Raptorian girl is supposed to be a punishment? You aren't making a very convincing case here," he shot back and Jex barked a laugh before fixing him with a massive grin.
"You've never been haunted by this Raptorian girl before, but in all seriousness please look after them for me, without me there to cheer them up it's going to be too easy for them all to get their heads jammed up their collective tail hole and someone is going to need to break them out of it and to remind them to look at the joyous things in life," Jex said and Thomas nodded.
"You can count on me Jex and in all seriousness, you don't have to worry about me taking care of them, they are in the best of human hands I promise you that," he said causing Jex to sit forwards and hug him.
"Great Tree I know I'm not supposed to wish for this kind of thing but I really can't wait for you all to be here with me but you swear to me that it won't happen one single second before it is supposed to," she said as her entire pride stepped up and joined in the embrace.
"We swear," they all said in unison including Thomas.
When they all awoke to the sound of the alarm that had been set to wake the entire team up just before nightfall the entire pride looked at one another and it was written on every face including Thomas's that was no dream.
The commander summoned all of the team leaders together at the command Titan and as Vessa walked with Thomas at her side she couldn't help but hold onto his hand proudly.
She knew it was a little unprofessional but given the circumstances, she didn't think the commander would mind.
As they joined the others around the briefing table the commander already had a hologram of the desert up on the display and she gave the pair a knowing smile as they took their positions at the table.
"Alright heads up people we have a lot of distance to cover tonight so we are going to be moving at quite a pace to make up for lost time, there are four POIs that the GMF has forwarded to us from their scans of the area, looks to be dug in anti-air emplacements that they want us to take out, they have been bombarding the exposed ones with orbital railgun fire most of the day and word is they've collapsed a few more sections of the shield in orbit so more coverage is going to become available and each one of these sites we knock out lowers the risk to our guys, the reason they want us to hit these is as you can see their proximity to civilian areas," she said.
"Any word on the bug commander and whether he's given up anything yet?' Vessa asked and Misty shook her head making her dreadlocks shake back and forth.
"Nope all we know is the Grand Patriarch is working on it, so we should have some answers soon enough and if he doesn't get through to it then who knows maybe the Grand Matriarch might try her hand with it, pretty sure the bug will start talking as soon as she walks into the fucking room," she said making all of them around the table chuckle at the mental image of it.
"Pretty sure if the Grand matriarch shows up the chance for the bug to talk will be pretty much over, she'd probably beat it to death with its own thorax, diplomacy isn't exactly her strong point," Thomas said making the Clan members all chuckle.
"Would she truly beat a helpless prisoner?' one of the Serpentinus asked in alarm her hood flaring in alarm.
"No, she wouldn't it's just a private Clan joke, our Grandmatriarch's temper is a thing of legend within the Clan but she would never harm a helpless prisoner no matter how much she despises them," Misty said instantly and with such power in her voice it instantly calmed the nerves of the doubtful.
"Scaring them half to death with her mere presence is another thing entirely," Thomas joked coaxing a few more chuckles from the Clan members.
"Alright let's get our game faces on again people we got work to do, Here's the plan, Alpha and Beta prides are going to ride on ahead of the main formation and encircle each target in turn, they will gather intel on the site and transmit it back to the main convoy, I want everything from civilian to make up, proximity to houses, everything, then when I give the green light they will move on to the next one while we move in and clear the target out, there shouldn't be any underground bases to deal with this time as these are just AA sites, once they are clear that should finally open the entire Sand Home territory up to the Clan and its allies to begin setting up more FOBs in the area which will open up the scope of our operations, I'm hoping to be out of the sand by this time tomorrow and to move into the Blood Plains," Misty said.
"Think we can make it in a single night boss?' Thomas asked looking carefully at the plotted route laid out on the holographic map.
"Yeah, granted it won't leave us much time to hit each target but that's why I want the Star Stalker prides running intel for us so that by the time we arrive at the targets we'll be able to hit them right off the bat without having to fuck about gathering intel, we can simply bomb the fuckers back into the bloody stone age," she said.
"Our Gipkas can launch long-range attacks on them as long as we have targets marked, it might be a good idea for the Star Stalker teams to leave a spotting drone at each of the sites, it will be able to feed us real-time targeting info that we can use to drop a missile barrage on them ahead of your Titans and the Sandcrawlers hitting them," the commander of the Raptorian armoured division said.
"I like it sounds like a plan, make sure the Star Stalker teams are kitted out with enough drones for the job, alright people you have your orders let's get on the road," the commander said and with that the group broke up, it was time to get on the move.
