My men surround the building. From here it looks like a simple metal box, but inside there could be a whole complex system. A quick scan shows that the door is locked. Before anyone else can react, I kick open the front doors and charge in headfirst.
As soon as we step into the room, something whizzes past my ear and hits the wall behind me. It leaves a small dent in the metal and sparks fly out everywhere. Another blast strike my pauldron and threw me backwards onto the floor.
As I look around, everyone seems fine except for one man who's lying motionless at the end of the hall. His body is covered in blood, but his eyes are wide open. Someone runs over to him and begins examining his wounds.
Another shot rings out. Everyone freezes and turns to face the source. Three bio engineered soldiers wearing black uniforms stand across from us, aiming automatic guns. Two others appear beside them, holding grenade launchers.
I grab my standard issue bolt revolver off the ground and fire back. At close range, the bullets punch right through the armor of the closest soldier, causing him to explode backward. He drops his weapon and grabs his hollowed chest before collapsing to the ground.
One of the grenades goes flying toward us, followed quickly by another. I move. fast. Primarch speed. They don't even have time to blink that the grenades are returned to them. They explode. We dominate the battlefield. Skirmish over.
"Roger that," says a voice on my helmet comms channel. the common HQ "We're going to finish up here Phi Team. Proceed to next target."

Around her neck she wears a silver chain, adorned with two golden circles. On its surface rests a circular device that glows faintly red. The girl stares down upon the world below.
