You gave the “all clear” to your armour, and three APCs, (two regular one supply) moved close to the Fornaxium to load it into the vehicles. You gave the supply officer the order to expedite the process. And moved back to your APC which was holding up the perimeter with the tank on the bridge.
Inside, was your ever friendly engineer, Zami, with your flametrooper, Logi who was duct taped to his seat as tightly as possible, whose creative insults would be audible if he wasn’t gagged. You sighed and took a seat next to the mutant. You removed the helm you were wearing and gave her another stick of IHO, lighting one up yourself, Logi’s eyes fixated on the fire, and he finally shut up for a second, immediately continuing after the it went out.
“Ssso.. what do you think about the misssion?” asked Zami. Despite her looks she had a soft voice.
“I think command skimped out on the intel.” You grunted.
“That’ss not what I mean” said Zami.
Silence followed, you took another hit of the IHO and spoke: “I don’t like it, it doesn’t make sense for us to be here.” You paused “If command knew of this place they’d send the whole army, not us. But they received a report, obviously not the version we have, so this whole mission tastes of ash”
She looked at you, and then looked forwards, seemingly in deep thought. Even Logi had gone quiet.
Comms chatter from your helmet broke the silence after a few moments. You put it on to hear your supply officer: “Sir, we have finished loading up the fuel as much as we can. Over”.
“Copy that. Let’s get back in the air and start moving, I don’t want to dawdle. Over”. You responded.
