Daniels Island
10-02-2009, 22:11
Somewhere south in Daniels Islands rain forest
It was dark and quiet, the only sound was the clunking of metal and motor as 2 Tigre 4x4 ripped through the rough terrain of the forest...

Inside Tigre 1 sat 4 Light infantry troops, they all seemed to be in a world of wonder...

"Okay listen up people!" yelled an unshaven hench sergeant from the back of the vehicle...

"Are we all clear on what were doing!?"

"Yes sir!" Yelled the troops (almost simantanesly)

"Okay well lets lock and load" Said the sergeant with an almost excited smile on his scarred face

"ETA 2 Minutes sir" Yelled the navigator

Inside Tigre 2 there was no silence just chitter chatter

"Looking forward to it?" said one soldier

"Yeah cant wait" Laughed greaves

"ETA 2 Minutes!" Yelled the navigator

"Okay fairys listen up!" Yelled sergeant Callum (A big smile on his face)

"This is it were making history here lads"

Just as sergeant Callum was about to give his team the brief talk he had planned, A loud explosion came from ahead seconds later Fragments of metal tore through Tigre 2 completey decapitating the driver then there was a crash as the Tigre 2 roared up a river bank, landing on its roof.

Sergeant callum disoriented managed to drag himself from the wreckage of the 4x4 the sound of his team groaning from the headache's of the crash, luckily all besides the driver and navigator unharmed, as the team pulled therselves and eachother from the wreck they all stood,

Infront of them layed a burning Tigre 1, bodies of the Light Infantry layed lifeless... Just burning skin, expressions of agony and fear covered there faces

"What the f*ck was that?" said Lt mays

"F*ck Knows could of been a land mine" said Sgt Callum

"Thats impossible" said Greaves "Theres no land mines around here, we would of been informed!"

Moments later as the team tried to undestand what had just happened...

Gunfire ripped through the mud, up the trees and straight through Pvt Colhern his body slumping back into the door of Tigre

"Get down!!!" Screamed sgt Callum

"Take cover!!!" He yelled

As the team scambled behind the Tigre, they gathered there weapons and composure.

"Who the f*ck is that coming from!" yelled Greaves

"Nevermind who!" shouted Lt Mays "Where is it coming from"

Moments later there was silence only a scream of the empty gatlan gun

Sgt Callum grabbed a shard of broken glass from the Tigres wing mirror and used it as a view point, he immedatly noticed Two men in balaclavas making an amatuer attempt to reload there weponary, he then noticed a empty rocket launcher beside the men...

Sgt callum giving the right signals to what remained of his team filled them in

Within seconds greaves was in position, he gave the signal and Sgt Callum gave him the nod

*Bang* the sound of the bullet leaving the chamber of his sniper rifle, through the sight mounted on the rifle Greaves witnessed the bullet pierce through the enemies head, before he collapsed to the ground and rolled down the enbankment... His fellow soldier panicing started to run...

Greaves composed himself and took a deep breath and Fired in the far distance the second balaclaved man dropped lifeless to the floor

With 10minutes supervision of the area and risk assesment, Sgt callum, Lt Mays and Lt Greaves approached the first Lifeless body a clear hole in the head from one end to another...

"Nice shot" said Sgt Callum

"Yeah thanks" Replied Greaves

"Who's behind the mask then" grunted Lt Mays pulling it off the hench corpse

"Doesnt look like he's from our Islands" said Callum

"Yeah your right.. not even from this region by the looks of him ugly sod" laughed Mays...

"Greaves" Said Callum

"Yes Sir" He replied

"Go fetch the other body"

"Yes sir"

"Sir... are we continuing with the mission?"

"I dont think thats a good idea somebody somewhere knows about this, I think the best thing we can do is get back to base, all radio transmission has been destroyed in the crash... so it looks like were walking back..."

"Sgt... this guy looks foreign too!" Said greaves dragging the hench corpse down the enbankment

"Right ... well no surprise there then..." Said Callum with a puzzled look

"Obviously some sought of foreign intellegence... seems somebody doesnt agree with what we were doing"

"Yeah well they couldnt of disliked it too much, just 2 guys?" said Greaves

"Yeah were not too sure if it is just two guys and with fire power like this they could be pretty serious, how do we know there not at the RV now?"

"Lets make tracks and get back to base, Its only 10miles from here we can be back by 18:00 hrs if we dont stop" said Sgt Callum...

18:04hrs Fernwood Defence Centre Daniels Island

The sun was setting... a golden glow of sunrays shone through the floor to celing windows, the sound of foot steps in the distance grew louder, moments later the large doors opened, suited personnel entered the room,

A lady with files approached a large desk where a middle-aged man sat down...

"What is it?" He said sounding dis-interested...

"Sir it's the forest mission..."

"Something wrong?" The man now sounding concerened

"We have 3 soldiers waiting in the foyer sir they were on the eastside of the objective... they said they were attacked... there the only survivors from there set off point!"

"Sh*t!.. you serious... how about the others?!" said the man now showing a look of heavy worry...

"No answer from any of them sir, we have satellite pictures of the RV point its just a wreckage of flames!... somebody launched an attack the 3 men we have downstairs are the sole survivors..."

"Get them up here now! I need to know everything they do.."

"Yes sir" said the lady as she fetched the soldiers...

Minutes later the 3 soldiers still in there tatical gear but unarmed walked into the office... saluting the man at the desk...

"Sir" said Sgt Callum

"Take a seat gentlemen" Said the man... " Now tell me everything you know..."

(One hour later everything had been discussed)

"Go back to your barracks men and rest I shall make sure your are filled on our plans for the next step, in the mean time you are all officially on rest!"

"Thank you sir" The soldiers replied

As they walked out the room the doors were closed behind them...

"We need to find out who's attacked us and what they know!... Collect satelitte images from the RV and make a decision wether its secure to enter, send a team to collect the remains and another to investigate!"

"Yes sir" said a voice from a handsfree desk phone

The man now looking out of his window over the great city of Fernwood, how could they of known? he asked himself.
