Hopeful – A mess
“GO GO GO….” Came the order, as if they were as one the 2000 marines of the 122nd fell out from the drop ships. Clean efficient movements, covering, checking the area like they had done a million times in training.
“Clear… Clear… Clear… Clear… Clear” came the shouts over the radio. A sigh of relief went through the ranks and a few grinned nervously.
“Drop ships taking off…..move to your way points on the double you know what to do” before the commander had even finished the “Vets” were already moving, as if eager to get into a fight. They were clearly Recognisable from the rest because of the armour paint. They marked up personal kills with red paint and since some had been around for a while more or less all there armour was red. The marines moved up all in the same direction for now, the colony was to be bypassed for some reason the commanders had not bothered to explain why and you don’t question an order.
There target was a main mine gate. A Hugh metal door which quite literally led right into the ground, it was placed there to stop any indigoes life forms of that planet and could easily withstand a high charge explosion.
“What do you think” whispered Adonis eyeing the surroundings as they ran. There was no reply they were too wrapped up in keeping alert. They arrived at the gate quickly enough no trouble at least, not even anything on the Mt*.
“Well so much for that 2000 marines and the worse danger we faced is boredom” he laughed to himself nobody else joined him, not even a remark….Jas turned around to face the Gate, he had taken no noticed of it until now and now he saw what everyone was staring at. The gate was to say the least out of commission.
“Holly ****, it looks like somebody went at it with a giant pick axe, that thing is solid steel” Hugh claw marks easily 8 inches long went across the whole door dents like it had been shot by a tank in various places. Jas took it all in and eventually came to the bottom, a hole large enough to fit in a house in had been ripped into the steel door. The TSA commanders could see everything there marines saw due to built in micro cameras which are placed next to there optical nerve, they could see the gate as well as any one on the ground but didn’t even mention it with in the time that followed.
“ Keep alert and split into your squad, this gate will lead you to the mines which were dug by the colonist, but its more than caves and stick holding up the walls, they were using a new nanite technology as they dug into the ground the nanites took a small percentage of the resources and built corridors, generators, beds, food areas the works. Trouble is were not sure how far the construction went so be careful. From here n out your communications are going to be split to you assigned squad leaders, prepare for split…..now”

The Headset fuzzed slightly, then a familiar voice was heard.
“Orders are to secure a small area north of here apparently there is a old generator close by the commanders want to get in operation, here use this way point as a guide and stick together, I don’t want any of your wondering off alone” We proceeded down what seem to be a living quarters with clear evidence of gunfire from one end to another.
“I want a room by room check” I turned to face the door to my right and kicked it open
“Clear”
“Clear”
“Clear”
“man this sux I wanted some action, I didn’t join the TSA for walk around for a living”
It took them no more than half a hour to reach the generator the mines were surprising big.
“Good your there….here use that I want the area securer before we start repairing” A turret factory appeared in the middle of the room and we moved our hands into the faint outline of it. A buzzing sound filled our ears as the Tf became a solid structure, it beeped and became active in no time.
“right build them turrets and the armoury then I want half of you on guard duty the rest repairing it needs to be done asap” More buildings appeared and we went to them, we would all feel a lot better with a few automated turrets watching our backs.
“These turrets take the fun out of it, what is there gonna be left for us if we let them take care of it” barked a Steve, a convict who was assigned to them loud mouthed and full of it like most that get transferred in.
“Since your so eager you can take patrol duty I want sweeps every 10 minutes 100 metres radius, hop to it” Steve grinned and pulled his weapon to bear while half running towards the door.
“fool gonna get him self killed sooner or later….hopefully sooner” they all grinned and got back to work the sparks of welders now filling the room and shadows flicker around them.
Steve always thought of himself as a hard nut ready to take on anything some fun joining the TSA had been he aint been able to shoot anything but practice targets. His ear piece fuzzed slightly, he proceeded to hit it….Click…..he hit it again…Click…bloody thing he thought to himself cant even give him a decent head set Click… Click… Click…. “**** it” He said aloud he turned it off. “better least I cant get bitched at now, damn clicking doing me head in” Click….the blood drained from his face, he never even saw what was coming.
“What was that….?” Barked one of the privates, they all looked up fingering there guns with a free hand. Before they had time to blink a small dog like creature came pounding around the corner and smoothly jumped the turrets and took the privates head clean off…..they stood shocked, but it only lasted for a moment he pulled his LMG up to bare and pull the trigger…he watched ;like a blur as the creature took to the ceiling completely avoiding the shots fired at him……a flicker out of the corner of his eye caught his attention a iron plated vent came bursting off followed by more incoming. He lost track of what happened as again he brought his gun to bear and filled one of the nmes with bullets its body fell to his feet with a thump…no time to think 2 more of his friends fell as they were torn apart he felt a warm splash across his face and held down a wave of sick..
At a glance there was 2 left, he wasn’t sure, to fast….
“Watch out!!!!” Screamed John a friend of his for years…instinct took over and I dived to the side and saw a nme fly past him a vicious snarl on his face, he brought his pistol the bare the same time john took aim the creature fell dead, easier than he expected…..still one left he thought, to late John screamed again desperately grabbing at his back……his spine was gone it didn’t take long for him to die maybe it was better that way.
“****” he spat through bloody filled mouth. He hadn’t realise something had take a bite out of his side…Click…he brought his pistol to bear not sure of his ammo and fired. He hit all right the alien let of a squeal but it didn’t stop, tugging for his knife he fell backwards and brought it to bare as he hit the floor, the dog like creature landed on top it him impaling himself, lucky yes but he got up to run...then stopped stunned in all the action the turret factory had gone down it had been behind him but nothing had gone past him…..Click….he didn’t even brother looking up he fell to his knees. Where was the commander? It all went black.
